Miami Marlins outfielder Derek Hill is starting in center field and batting eighth for Monday's series opener against the visiting Chicago Cubs and right-hander Ben Brown. This will be Hill's first start in the outfield in the last four games despite the fact that Dane Myers (oblique) is currently on the injured list. It doesn't bode well for Hill seeing regular playing time for the Fish when Myers is able to return, whenever that may be. The former 23rd overall pick by the Detroit Tigers in 2014 has done very little at the plate in his limited opportunities this year in Miami, going 10-for-57 (.175) with two home runs, two doubles, five RBI, four steals, four walks and 24 strikeouts in 17 games played. He'll be a low-upside DFS play near the bottom of the batting order against Brown, who he is hitless against in just two career at-bats.

Boston Red Sox rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game for Monday's series opener against the visiting New York Mets at Fenway Park. David Hamilton is starting at second and will hit seventh against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga. Campbell got off to a good start in his first year in the big leagues in April, but it's been a struggle for the 22-year-old at the plate so far in the month of May. He's gone just 4-for-47 (.085) with a homer, three RBI, one run scored, one walk and 15 strikeouts in 11 games since May 4 to drop his season line down to .233/.322/.387 in 171 plate appearances. Given his struggles at the plate recently, it seems unlikely that the Red Sox would ask him to move to first base after the season-ending injury to Triston Casas (knee). Hamilton has never faced Senga in his career.UPDATE: Nothing is physically wrong with Campbell, and he's expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-hander Carson Spiers (shoulder) is ahead of schedule and started throwing on Saturday at the team's spring training complex in Arizona. Spiers will need to continue building up his arm in Arizona before eventually going on a minor-league rehab assignment, so his return to the Reds is at least a couple weeks off, if not more. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent from Clemson appeared in three games (two starts) for the Reds this year before injuring his shoulder, allowing nine earned runs on 13 hits (three homers) while walking seven and striking out 11 in 13 1/3 innings pitched. Spiers is recovering from a right-shoulder impingement and will probably be relegated to a long-relief role out of the Reds' bullpen when he's ready to return from his injury.

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that corner infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) is doing really well, and his next step in the rehab process will be playing games in Arizona. Encarnacion-Strand is likely to start out in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before eventually moving to higher levels of the minors. The 25-year-old needed multiple rounds of epidural injections for his back inflammation, but he has been doing baseball activities and improving since then. The Reds haven't given a specific timetable for CES to return from his injury, but barring a setback during his rehab assignment, he could be ready to return from the injured list near the end of this month. He was hitting just .158 (9-for-57) with two home runs and five RBI at the time of his injury, though, so it's unclear what kind of role he'll have in the big leagues when he's fully healthy again.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte's (oblique) follow-up MRI exam has been moved up to May 27 from June 4 because the team's medical staff has been pleased with his progress from a left-oblique strain. The results of Marte's MRI exam could determine the next step in his recovery. The Reds placed the 23-year-old infielder on the 10-day injured list on May 7, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) are both still on the IL as well, so it's possible that Marte will see regular playing time again at third base if he's able to make it back sooner than later. The Dominican infielder was hitting a strong .294/.342/.515 at the time of his injury with an .857 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases in his 68 at-bats. Santiago Espinal should continue to benefit at third until one of the three return.
