First-year Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro is returning to the dugout for the Royal’s game against the Texas Rangers after missing the previous five games with COVID-19

Drew Steckenrider - On restricted list in VegasSteckenrider was placed on Triple-A Las Vegas' restricted list for an undisclosed reason on March 31, the team's official site reports.

ImpactThe veteran reliever had a rough Cactus League stint this spring, allowing eight runs on 16 hits and four walks across 11.2 innings. Steckenrider, who pitched to an 0-2 record, 5.65 ERA and 1.81 WHIP across 16 appearances with the Mariners last season, is projected to eventually begin the 2023 campaign with the Aviators, but he'll naturally have to first clear his restricted status.

Josh Lowe - Sitting against rightyLowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactFor the first time all season, the lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Nick Pivetta). While Jose Siri (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list and the rest of Tampa Bay's regulars are available, Lowe looks like he'll have to battle the likes of Harold Ramirez and Luke Raley for one spot in the lineup against righties. Ramirez will serve as Tampa Bay's designated hitter Monday, while Raley gets the nod in right field.

Seth Brown - Move to IL officialThe Athletics placed Brown on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

ImpactBrown's absence from the lineup in Sunday's 11-0 loss to the Rays was initially attributed to rib-cage discomfort, but the Athletics later confirmed the outfielder tweaked an oblique muscle. The recovery timeline for oblique strains can be volatile, but if Brown's injury is on the mild side, he could have a chance at being ready to return from the shelf in the minimum 10 days. In any case, the Athletics are likely to turn to Conner Capel and Brent Rooker to pick up most of the reps in left field while Brown is on the IL.

Kevin Smith - Gets promotionThe Athletics recalled Smith from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

ImpactSmith joins the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder/first baseman Seth Brown (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. While he's up with Oakland, the righty-hitting Smith could fill the short side of a platoon at third base with the lefty-hitting Jace Peterson.
