Jose Siri Running At Full Speed

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri (hamstring) has made significant progress in his return to action, as he ran full speed on Monday.

Ramon Laureano On The Bench Monday

Oakland A's outfielder Ramon Laureano will start Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs on the bench.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia will start Monday's game on the bench against the Kansas City Royals. It will be his first game off of the year after making 15 straight starts for the Rangers.

Aaron Hicks In Danger Of Being Cut?

With New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (oblique) potentially returning from the injured list soon, there's an argument to be made that the Yankees should finally move on from outfielder Aaron Hicks, although the 30-year-old still has three years and $30.5 million left on his contract.

Jesse Winker Hoping To Return By Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker (oblique) was absent from Sunday's lineup due to oblique soreness.
