Vaughn is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with Cleveland.

Vaughn didn't appear in the first game of the twin bill -- an 8-6 White Sox win -- either, but the team has yet to suggest his absence from the lineup for the nightcap is related to an injury.

The recent returns of Cody Bellinger and Zack McKinstry from the 10-day injured list could result in Beaty losing out on regular playing time. Beaty had started in seven of the Dodgers' last eight games, going 5-for-23 with a home run, two walks, five runs and four RBI.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Twins in 10 innings.

The 24-year-old's fifth-inning deep fly off Twins ace Jose Berrios ended a rough stretch at the plate for Mountcastle, who had struck out seven times in 12 at-bats over the Orioles' last four games before Monday. Mountcastle's low contact and low walk rates will likely make him prone to slumps throughout the season, but the Orioles appear committed to playing him regularly amid the offensive dry spells.
