Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Monday that Gelof (ribs) is slated to play full nine-inning games on consecutive days this week during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof landed on the injured list prior to Opening Day after fracturing a hamate bone in his right wrist late in spring training and requiring surgery, but a stress reaction in his ribs suffered in early May has extended his absence. Once Gelof shows he can play full games on consecutive days, the Athletics will evaluate him for a potential return to the roster.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

With starts in five of the previous six games, Iglesias has gained some stability in the San Diego lineup of late, but he's still not quite locked in as an everyday player. After posting a surprising .829 OPS with the Mets in 2024 -- his highest mark in any season of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign -- Iglesias has taken a big step back at the plate with San Diego this season, slashing just .226/.294/.258 with no home runs over 179 plate appearances. He'll need to improve his production to boost his case for earning steady playing time over the balance of the season.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Frazier had batted out of the leadoff spot in both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with righties, but he'll be left out of the lineup entirely Monday while St. Louis sends right-hander Erick Fedde to the hill. Tommy Pham will take over Frazier's spot in left field, while Spencer Horwitz tops the batting order for Pittsburgh.

Gimenez is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Gimenez had started each of the previous 13 contests, but he'll get a breather as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the hill. Fellow left-handed swinger Will Wagner will fill in at second base and bat ninth.

Koss went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

The 27-year-old made his sixth straight start Sunday, including his fourth straight at third base due to Casey Schmitt (wrist) being sidelined. Koss drew a walk in the second inning and subsequently stole second before coming around to score the Giants' first run. He also lined a double to left field in the fourth and added a single in the eighth. The infielder has recorded two hits in each of his last four games, slashing .533/.563/.667 with three runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base across 16 plate appearances during that span.

Gorman went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians.

Gorman got the scoring started early, launching a 428-foot homer with two outs in the first inning off lefty Logan Allen. The 25-year-old Gorman has taken advantage of a regular starting role since Ivan Herrera (hamstring) landed on the IL, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three homers, seven RBI and a .951 OPS in his last seven games. Overall, Gorman's slashing .224/.314/.412 with seven homers, 25 runs scored and 25 RBI across 191 plate appearances this season.

Schneemann replaced Gabriel Arias (ankle) at shortstop in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals. Schneemann went 0-for-2 with a walk.

Arias was removed from the game in the third inning with what looks like a significant ankle injury. Schneemann is the most logical replacement among the players on the active roster, but the Guardians could reach down to Triple-A Columbus for Brayan Rocchio.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Orioles.

Lowe accounted for the Rays' only run of Sunday's game with a leadoff home run in the ninth inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 16 games, during which he's gone deep five times while tallying 13 RBI and 16 runs scored.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

Marte is up to 17 homers on the year, including five over his last nine games. Despite going hitless three times, Marte is 14-for-37 (.378) in that span as he continues to provide excellent hitting from the No. 2 spot in the order. The second baseman has a .305/.405/.600 slash line with 37 RBI, 48 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles over 57 contests this season.

High-A Vancouver placed Pinto on its 7-day injured list May 16 due to an unspecified injury.

The 22-year-old second baseman had been raking for Vancouver prior to being shelved with the injury, slashing .284/.376/.608 with seven home runs and three stolen bases in just 85 plate appearances. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 156 pounds, Pinto generates a surprising amount of power, but durability is starting to become a concern for him; he's now spent multiple months on the IL for four consecutive seasons.
