W. LeBlanc - RP

SEA

LeBlanc racked up six strikeouts and allowed two earned runs on six hits over 4.2 innings in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

With starter Mike Leake flaming out by allowing eight earned runs in just over three innings, LeBlanc was called on in the hopes of giving the rest of the bullpen some rest. The veteran southpaw was effective enough to go the distance from that point in what was his fourth multi-inning outing in as many appearances. Although he's pitched to some contact over his last two trips to the mound, LeBlanc's ability to fill in as he did Monday exemplifies the value he brings the relief corps.

M. Haniger - RF

SEA

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Haniger has now gone deep in four straight games, racking up eight RBI over that torrid stretch. The blazing hot outfielder has hit in six straight overall, pushing his average from .255 to .324 over that span.

D. Palka - RF

CWS

Palka was called up to the majors Tuesday to replaced the injured Avisail Garcia (hamstring).

Palka is hitting .286/.384/.476 through 17 games for Triple-A Charlotte so far this season. A third-round pick by Arizona in the 2013 draft, the 26-year-old has yet to make his major-league debut. He'll provide depth at both corner outfield positions while he remains in the big leagues.

Added 12:17 pm (EST)

N/A

A. García - RF

CWS

Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

Garcia exited Monday's game with a hamstring strain, and although it didn't seem to be overly serious at first, the White Sox will play things safe and send him to the DL anyway. Daniel Palka was recalled from Triple-A to replace him on the active roster.

M. Zunino - C

SEA

Zunino went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Zunino's first round tripper of his injury-shortened campaign opened the scoring on the night for the Mariners, as he blasted a 428-foot shot to left in the fifth that plated Mitch Haniger. The slugging backstop's two hits were his first of the season after he went 0-for-9 over the prior three games. Contact has unsurprisingly been a problem thus far, as Zunino has already struck out seven times over his first 14 plate appearances.

J. Vargas - SP

NYM

Vargas is expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday to start the Mets' game in San Diego against the Padres, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Team doctors gave Vargas the green light to make a rehab start Monday at Triple-A Las Vegas, which represented the final hurdle the lefty needed to clear before returning from the DL. Though Vargas wasn't especially impressive Monday -- he needed 66 pitches (42 strikes) to get through four innings and gave up three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four -- pitching in Las Vegas is rarely a picnic for even the most seasoned of hurlers. More importantly, Vargas escaped the outing with no reported issues with his surgically repaired non-throwing hand, so he'll presumably be in line to fill the spot in the Mets rotation vacated by Matt Harvey, who was banished to the bullpen over the weekend following three rough starts in a row.

M. Olson - 1B

OAK

Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Just as notable as his solid stat line was the fact that Olson snapped a dubious 15-game streak with at least one strikeout. The young slugger picked it up at the plate over the last six games in particular, going 10-for-27 with two doubles, five RBI and four runs during that stretch.

N/A

J. Smolinski - CF

OAK

Smolinski went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a run in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Smolinski added to the Athletics' offensive barrage in the top of the ninth with his first three-bagger of the season, plating Matt Olson and Mark Canha. The reserve outfielder has both of his extra-base hits in the last two games, as well, but his average remains an unsightly .125 over his first 26 plate appearances.
