Aroldis Chapman available to close
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:15 pm ET) Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman is coming off blowing a dramatic save against the Phillies Sunday. He gave up back-to-back homers to lose it for Cincinnati.

Chapman blew his second straight save, but manager Dusty Baker said he's available to close Monday against the Mets, MLB.com reports

"He's good to go," Baker said of Chapman on Monday. "You know, this is a funny game. We're extremely happy when it happens to the other guy. Everybody was super-happy when it happened to Kimbrel. When it happened to us, everybody wants to know what's wrong and are looking for answers. Sometimes there are no answers."
Orioles ink Ronny Paulino
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:01 pm ET) The Orioles signed catcher Ronny Paulino to a minor-league contract Monday.

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Profar started Monday against Oakland. While the fans want to see Profar, a top prospect, every day, Washington wants to keep Garcia active.

"Leury's going to get some time there," Washington said. "So when you see Profar sitting, don't be surprised."
David Adams swats first career home run
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(7:29 pm ET) Yankees third baseman David Adams hit his first major-league home run in the second inning of Monday's game in Baltimore.

Jordan Walden feeling better
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(7:17 pm ET) Braves reliever Jordan Walden said his injured shoulder is feeling "pretty good" after playing catch Monday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Walden hopes to return off the DL when eligible Monday in Toronto.

“That’s what we’re shooting for, but it’s got to be feeling good,” Walden said. “…I just need to make sure I’m fully healthy when I come back because we already have great guys down there still. I just want to be part of it down there. I want to be able to help out Craig (Kimbrel) a little bit.”
