Contreras (left forearm fracture) was scheduled to make a rehab start as the DH with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Verlander was scratched from his scheduled Saturday start against the Tigers due to neck discomfort. Manager Joe Espada said on Sunday that Verlander could return as soon as this week’s upcoming series against the White Sox in Chicago.

Tucker (right shin contusion) did not return from the injured list when he was eligible to be activated on Friday. Manager Joe Espada said that a rehab assignment could be in the mix if Tucker "doesn't start running around here [in] the next day or two." More >

Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Reds

Encarnacion-Strand (ulnar styloid fracture in right arm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday. The first baseman has ligament damage in addition to the fracture, and season-ending surgery to repair the issue is on the table, Reds manager David Bell said on June 11. Encarnacion-Strand could still return to play and have the surgery after the season or avoid surgery altogether. More >

Blake Snell, Alex Cobb, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Kyle Harrison, Giants

Snell (left groin strain) threw a bullpen session Saturday at Oracle Park and was scheduled to throw another Tuesday.

Cobb (left hip surgery) threw a 30-35 pitch bullpen session Friday and was scheduled to throw another one Monday in San Francisco. He likely won't be a candidate to rejoin the Giants' rotation until after the All-Star break.

Wade has resumed taking batting practice on the field and increased his running progression over the weekend, but Giants manager Bob Melvin said it's likely "a stretch" that Wade will be available for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field.

Harrison had been scheduled to start Sunday afternoon's series finale against the Angels, but he was scratched after rolling his ankle while doing his weight room routine on Saturday. He was placed on the injured list with a right ankle sprain. More >

Luis Rengifo, Angels

Rengifo left Sunday’s game early after taking a sharply hit grounder off his left wrist. Manager Ron Washington said X-rays on Rengifo's wrist only revealed a contusion, but Rengifo was not in Monday's lineup. More >

Mike Tauchman and Ben Brown, Cubs

Tauchman left Monday's game against the Giants with left groin tightness after beating out an infield single in the third inning.

General manager Jed Hoyer said Monday that Brown (stress reaction in neck) saw a local specialist Monday. The Cubs are seeking multiple opinions on Brown's injury before determining his next steps, Hoyer said. More >
