INJURY REPORT & ROSTER MOVES

The Milwaukee Brewers saw a significant return as Brandon Woodruff recorded his 900th strikeout in his first start back from the injured list since April 30, even carrying a perfect game into the sixth inning. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers experienced a setback with outfielder Kyle Tucker exiting Monday's game due to low back spasms. Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz is expected to be reinstated from the IL on Tuesday after a 19-game absence due to a hamstring strain. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is slated to play at least one more rehab game on Tuesday for Triple-A Syracuse, with a decision on his activation following a two-month layoff pending. The Philadelphia Phillies have recalled right-handed pitcher Alan Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and reinstated left-hander Kyle Backhus from the 15-day injured list. Additionally, the Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel is off the injured list and set to make his season debut against Cleveland after recovering from thigh and knee injuries.

LEAGUE ADMINISTRATION & PLAYER GUIDANCE

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred addressed controversy surrounding team apparel, stating in a letter to Senator Josh Hawley that the San Francisco Giants "failed to properly explain" to their players that they were permitted to opt out of wearing rainbow-themed caps. This guidance was reportedly in response to player reluctance during Pride Month events.
