The Washington Nationals reinstated third baseman Nick Senzel (thumb) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Trey Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Senzel will be making his season debut at third base while hitting sixth on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Tyler Glasnow. The 28-year-old former first-rounder of the Cincinnati Reds fractured his right thumb while fielding ground balls before Opening Day and was forced to the IL. Senzel has been a bust so far in his career, mainly due to injuries, but he has an opportunity to play regularly in D.C. in 2024 if he's able to stay healthy. Lipscomb, 23, went 11-for-49 (.224) with a homer, four RBI and four steals in his first 14 big-league games to begin the year while helping to fill in for Senzel at the hot corner.

The Washington Nationals placed catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 12) with the flu on Monday and recalled catcher Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. The team also recalled left-hander Mitchell Parker from Rochester. Ruiz has been under the weather of late and hasn't appeared in a game since April 8. It's tough for a player to go on the IL due to an illness, but the 25-year-old backstop should be able to return when he's eligible. In addition to his illness, Ruiz has been cold at the plate in the early going, picking up six hits in his first 31 at-bats, including a homer, three RBI and five strikeouts. For as long as Ruiz is on the shelf, Riley Adams will operate as Washington's primary catcher, with Millas backing him up.

Miami Marlins catcher Christian Bethancourt (illness) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It appears Bethancourt is dealing with some sort of illness and he'll be sidelined for at least a week or so. In a corresponding move, the Marlins have selected catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville. He figures to split up the playing time behind the plate with Nick Fortes while Bethancourt is sidelined.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon has been named as the starter ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander will be called up after striking out 11 batters over 9 2/3 innings in Triple-A Charlotte this season. He clearly has swing-and-miss stuff, but we'll see how it translates at the big league level. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to consider Cannon, but he'll be a bit of a risky choice.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) is set to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-hander continues to work his way back from an oblique strain that has sidelined him since the start of the season. The 26-year-old could progress to facing live hitters if Tuesday's session goes well. The hope is that Duran can be back on the mound for the Twins by the start of May. In the meantime, the Twins are likely to continue using a committee approach in the ninth inning. Out of everyone, Griffin Jax appears to be the favorite to get saves while Duran is out.
