Carlson (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Carlson has been running and taking swings from both sides of the plate since Monday, but he's still a few days away from returning to game action. The team didn't indicate how long it plans to keep Carlson on assignment, but he could return ahead of the Cards' next homestand June 9.

Crawford suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rangers but he plans to play against Texas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Crawford suffered the knee injury while making a dive into second base and colliding with Leody Taveras. While Crawford was able to stay in the game, it was clear the shortstop was dealing with soreness. If the pain doesn't subside, he may sit out a game, but for now Crawford should be considered likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Rangers.

Milwaukee, WI

Monasterio was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with an apparent head injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The 25-year-old took a shot to the face while making a tag on a pickoff throw during the third inning, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter after initially remaining in the contest. Monasterio clubbed his first big-league homer during the opening frame to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead, which was his lone plate appearance before leaving the game.

Kepler (head) is starting in right field Friday against Cleveland. Kepler had to be removed from Thursday's game after experiencing migraines, but the issue seems to have subsided overnight. The 30-year-old outfielder is just 2-for-17 at the plate since returning from the injured list Monday.

Florida State

Zeller (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Zeller had been listed as questionable on the initial Game 2 injury report the Heat released Saturday, but he's apparently shown some improvement as Sunday's 8 p.m. ET opening tip draws closer. Even if active Sunday, Zeller likely won't play more than a handful of minutes behind starting center Bam Adebayo, who is once again expected to shoulder a heavy workload.

Heat's Cody Zeller: Likely to play Sunday

Cincinnati, OH

The Reds placed Friedl on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Friedl hasn't played since being removed from Tuesday's game against Boston. He's already begun doing field work alongside a bit of running, so he shouldn't require much more than a minimum stint on the IL, but that still means Friedl will be held out for another week or so. The 27-year-old outfielder is currently slashing .326/.377/.496 with 20 RBI through 158 plate appearances.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Lands on injured list

Walker isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against Atlanta. Having recorded a base hit in six of his last seven games, Walker will get a breather Saturday. Emmanuel Rivera will start at first base instead and bat fifth.

Herget was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Herget holds a 4.79 ERA over 12 relief appearances for the Reds this season, although that high ERA is largely the result of one particularly bad outing. He's clearing out to make room for Andrew Abbott on the roster.

Yannick Ngakoue has made several stops throughout his still-young NFL career. The 28-year-old pass rusher is currently on the free agent market and looking at playing for his sixth team in the last five seasons. For a player who was a Pro Bowl pass rusher in 2017 and piled up at least 9.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons, Ngakoue's miles are a bit surprising and he's now looking for some stability as he carefully chooses his next destination.

Gallo was scratched from Friday's lineup against Cleveland with tightness in his hamstring, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Willi Castro will fill in for Gallo in left field and bat seventh. Gallo has dealt with hamstring issues over the past few weeks, but he's considered day-to-day for now.

Twins' Joey Gallo: Scratched Friday

Ford, called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Rangers on Friday. The 30-year-old drew the start at designated hitter and was able to contribute a single in his first taste of big-league action this season. Ford generated a lackluster .206/.302/.313 slash line across 149 plate appearances with a whopping four major-league teams in 2022, and even with his success thus far this minor-league season in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, it remains to be seen how much he can contribute outside of the occasional power numbers.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- Throughout the process of learning right guard last season, Cam Jurgens had the benefit of shadowing Isaac Seumalo as he was getting accustomed to a new position. The Philadelphia Eagles had Jason Kelce at center, so Jurgens took right guard reps in training camp in order for more position versatility.

Baltimore, MD

Zimmermann was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports. Zimmermann will head to the big leagues for the first time this season after opening the 2023 campaign in Triple-A. The left-hander has produced a 4.05 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 50 punchouts over 46.2 innings in nine starts with Norfolk this season. Zimmermann will take the spot of Mychal Givens, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. It's unclear whether Zimmermann will operate as a bullpen arm or get a chance to bump Austin Voth from the Orioles rotation.

Raleigh is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rangers. Tom Murphy will catch and bat seventh versus the Rangers and left-hander Andrew Heaney as Raleigh grabs a bit of rest on the Mariners' bench.

Odor left Friday's game against the Cubs with an apparent lower-body injury, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He had gone 2-for-3 with a run scored before exiting. Odor doubled into the alley in the eighth inning, but the infielder pulled up lame as he ran the bases....

Padres' Rougned Odor: Leaves with apparent injury

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Friday versus Atlanta. Rojas will take a seat after he went 0-for-10 with two walks, a run scored and four strikeouts while starting all three games of a series with the Rockies. Emmanuel Rivera will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener with Atlanta.

Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Breather Friday

The Astros plan to promote Kessinger from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 reports. Kessinger was a second-round pick in 2019 and will be in line to make his major-league in the coming days. The 25-year-old began the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Sugar Land and slashed .284/.400/.443 with six homers, 37 runs, 32 RBI and two stolen bases. Kessinger's playing time will likely depend on whether Jose Altuve (oblique) is available for the start of the Astros' upcoming series in Toronto.
