Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (back) was replaced in the bottom of the second inning on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals after likely aggravating his back injury.

The Minnesota Twins activated middle infielder Jorge Polanco (back) from the injured list on Tuesday, and he's starting at second base and batting fifth in Game 2 of a doubleheader against Cleveland Guardians left-hander Konnor Pilkington.

Ramon Urias Takes Batting Practice Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (oblique) took batting practice and grounders on the field ahead of his team's game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday.

Gleyber Torres Receives Injection In Wrist

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres' (ankle, wrist) ankle is doing well, but he underwent an MRI exam on his right wrist on Monday.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out Again Monday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is out of the starting lineup again on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Gleyber Torres Not In Lineup Monday

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics.

Chris Taylor Adds Three Hits Off Bench

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Chris Taylor did not start Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves but came off the bench to contribute three hits in a 5-3 extra-inning victory.

Gleyber Torres Day-To-Day With Ankle Sprain

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) turned his ankle while trying to return to third base on Sunday against the Houston Astros, and manager Aaron Boone said Torres' injury is a "mild ankle sprain."
