Adam Lind - 1B - Yankees

Adam Lind will make a $2 million salary if he is called up to the Yankees.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today also reports that there are three opt-outs for Lind, as he can elect free agency if he's not on the New York roster on May 1, June 1 and July 1. The 34-year-old first baseman was released by the Yankees in the middle of spring training, but re-signed with New York last week to a minor league deal. He'll have to hit in his time with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but if Tyler Austin continues to hit, it may not matter.

Adam Brett Walker - OF - Reds

Luke Jackson - R - Braves

Braves outrighted RHP Luke Jackson to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Jackson was designated for assignment last week, and after clearing waivers, he's being sent to Gwinnett to likely joins the Stripers' bullpen.

Micker Adolfo - OF - White Sox

White Sox OF prospect Micker Adolfo will undergo an MRI soon to check on his strained UCL and flexor tendon.

Adolfo is trying to "rest" the injury rather than undergo surgery, as going under the table would likely cause the 21-year-old to miss all of the 2018 season and could bleed into 2019. He recently told MLB.com's Scott Merkin that he doesn't feel strain or sore during workouts, which could be a positive sign. We should know more about Adolfo's ETA after the MRI.

Danny Farquhar - R - White Sox

Danny Farquhar will stay in the hospital for at least the next three weeks after having surgery to remove the swelling in his brain.

Farquhar suffered a hemorrhage in the sixth inning of Friday's game, and was rushed to the hospital after passing out in the dugout. He's currently listed as being in critical but stable condition, and reports indicate that more information isn't being released at the request of Farquhar's family.

Yasmani Grandal - C - Dodgers

Yasmani Grandal delivered a two-run double in the sixth inning on Sunday, helping to lead the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory over the Nationals.

Grandal got the Dodgers on the board with a two-run double off of Jeremy Hellickson in the sixth inning, sparking a three-run rally that would eventually springboard the Dodgers to victory. He also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-3. The hard-hitting backstop has been the Dodgers' biggest weapon on offense this season, slashing .349/.446/.587 with three homers and 16 RBI.

Chris Taylor - OF - Dodgers

Chris Taylor went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored as the Dodgers came from behind to beat the Nationals on Sunday Night Baseball.

Taylor doubled off of Jeremy Hellickson with one out in the sixth inning, sparking a three-run rally that tied the game. He has struggled at the dish in the early going this season, slashing just .239/.277/.432 with three homers and eight RBI. He was also caught stealing on Sunday for the third time this season, and he has yet to successfully swipe a base.

Kenley Jansen - R - Dodgers

Kenley Jansen earned his third save of the season on Sunday, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a one-run lead against the Nationals.

As has been the case throughout the season with Jansen, it wasn't easy. He allowed consecutive singles from Matt Adams and Wilmer Difo to begin the inning, before fanning Andrew Stevenson and Trea Turner and getting Howie Kendrick on a deep fly ball. Jansen now owns a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 10/4 K/BB ratio through 8 2/3 innings on the season.
