Carlos Ruiz - C - Phillies

Carlos Ruiz left Sunday's game with an apparent leg injury.

Ruiz slowed up and appeared to grab at his groin as he went from second to third base in the second inning. The Phillies should provide an update on his status shortly. Erik Kratz took his place behind the plate.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Rangers will call up Jurickson Profar.

Olney isn't sure what the corresponding roster move is, but it's possible Ian Kinsler (ribs) might be placed on the disabled list. Profar got off to a slow start at Triple-A Round Rock this season, but he's coming on of late and is batting .278/.370/.438 with four homers and six steals overall. If it's Kinsler that's headed to the DL, Profar should play every day.

Ian Desmond - SS - Nationals

Ian Desmond is not in the Nationals' lineup Sunday.

It's a planned day off for Desmond. Danny Espinosa is covering shortstop Sunday, while Steve Lombardozzi is at second.

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals

Bryce Harper (knee) is not in the Nationals' lineup Sunday.

Harper is still feeling banged up from last week's collision with the wall, and his knee appears to be in the worse shape of his various aches and pains. He'll try to return to the lineup on Monday.

Barry Enright - S - Angels

Angels sent RHP Barry Enright outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Enright was designated for assignment last week but has cleared waivers and will stick around for depth purposes.

Roy Oswalt - S - Rockies

Roy Oswalt struck out nine while allowing only a bunt single over five innings in an extended spring training start on Saturday.

With the impressive performance, Oswalt will now be moved up to Double-A Tulsa for his next outing. He's expected to make 4-5 starts for Tulsa before the Rockies decide whether or not to call him up. It would be a surprise if he's not in their rotation next month.

Adam Dunn - 1B - White Sox

Adam Dunn (back) is back in the White Sox' lineup Sunday.

Dunn left Saturday's game with back spasms, but he's feeling a lot better a day later. The veteran is batting .421/.450/1.158 with four homers and 10 RBI over his last five games.

Joe Mahoney - 1B - Marlins

Joe Mahoney (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter this week.

Mahoney has been out since late April with a right hamstring strain. With Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) also due back soon, Mahoney might be sent to Triple-A once healthy.
