Stephen Drew - 3B - Nationals

Nationals activated INF Stephen Drew from the 10-day disabled list.

Drew is finally back to full health after suffering a right hamstring strain on April 11. The veteran infielder will return to a utility role.

Jose De Leon - S - Rays

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, "it appears Jose De Leon is on his way to the big leagues."

The Rays have yet to make an official announcement. Erasmo Ramirez was expected to make his scheduled start on Monday despite pitching in relief on Sunday, so perhaps something has changed. De Leon, acquired from the Dodgers in the Logan Forsythe deal, has a 2.16 ERA and 12/2 K/BB ratio in 8 1/3 innings through his first two starts in Triple-A this year. He got a late start on the season due to a flexor tendon issue.

David Freese - 3B - Pirates

David Freese is not in Monday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

He'll take a seat against right-hander Randall Delgado. Josh Harrison will cover third base while Alen Hanson gets a start at second base.

Randal Grichuk - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned OF Randal Grichuk to High-A Palm Beach.

The move clears a spot for Jose Martinez's return from the disabled list. Grichuk has struggled with a .222/.276/.377 batting line across 46 games this season and the Cardinals want him to work on his strike zone discipline in the minors. Tommy Pham will get a chance at regular playing time, and deservedly so.

Orlando Calixte - SS - Giants

The Giants are expected to call up infielder-outfielder Orlando Calixte on Monday.

No official announcement yet from the team. Calixte, 25, was batting .287/.331/.507 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and 11 steals over 41 games this season in Triple-A. He has experience between the infield and outfield and will serve in a utility role.

Greg Bird - 1B - Yankees

Greg Bird (ankle) was set to take live batting practice in Tampa on Monday.

The next step should be an official minor league rehab assignment. Bird has been sidelined since the start of May with a bone bruse in his ankle and was just 6-for-60 prior to hitting the disabled list. The Yankees might want him to receive extended at-bats in the minors before bringing him back.

Eric Thames - 1B - Brewers

Eric Thames has returned to the Brewers' lineup Monday against the Mets.

Thames, currently in a 3-for-34 funk, got the day off Sunday. He'll make the start in left field on Monday while Jesus Aguilar will draw a start at first base against Robert Gsellman. Hernan Perez is on the bench.

Jandel Gustave - R - Astros

Jandel Gustave (forearm) has resumed a throwing program.

Gustave was nearing a minor league rehab assignment prior to suffering a setback earlier this month, but now he's moving in the right direction. The 24-year-old allowed four hits (three earned) over five innings prior to landing on the DL with forearm tightness last month.
