  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    White Sox's Nick Senzel: Heading to bench Monday

    Senzel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    After signing with the White Sox over the All-Star break, Senzel has now hit the bench for two of the team's first four games of the second half, with both of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. Senzel has gone hitless in his first seven at-bats with Chicago as he splits time at the hot corner with Paul DeJong.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Lewis (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Lewis ran the bases and took batting practice during the All-Star break and experienced no setbacks in his recovery from a right adductor strain, clearing the way for him to begin a rehab assignment. He's been sidelined for just three weeks, so Lewis shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list and stepping back in as the Twins' everyday third baseman.

  • Mark Vientos 1B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Receiving Monday off

    Vientos is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Jose Iglesias will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in place of Vientos. The 24-year-old had been included in the lineup in each of the Mets' last 12 games, batting .295 with one home run, four RBI and three runs during that stretch.

  • Jason Vosler 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Jason Vosler: Added to roster

    The Mariners selected Vosler's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    The 30-year-old has slashed .289/.357/.526 with 20 home runs over 89 games this season with Tacoma, mostly playing first base and right field but also seeing action at third base and in left field. Previous reports suggested that the Mariners would recall Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma after first baseman Ty France was placed on outright waivers, so Vosler could just be a roster stopgap until France's situation is resolved.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: Hitless in return to action

    Toro (hamstring) started at third base and went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

    The infielder was activated from the IL earlier in the day, getting his first taste of major-league action in exactly one month. Toro's physical issues seem firmly behind him, and he returns to an Athletics lineup that has suddenly heated up and which could provide him with more run-scoring and RBI opportunities than he enjoyed earlier in the season.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Resumes activities Monday

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Berti (calf) hit and played catch Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Berti recently experienced a setback with his left calf strain and received a platelet-rich plasma injection, but he was never completely shut down and should be ready for a rehab assignment before long. The utility player has been shelved since late May.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Homers in loss

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

    Marte put the Reds up early with a second-inning solo homer. It was his second of the season and first in 14 games. After serving an 80-game suspension, Marte is still getting his timing down. He's batting .176 with a .499 OPS and a 32.9 strikeout percentage over 20 games.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Won't be rushed back

    The White Sox are being cautious in their plans for Moncada's (thigh) return, MLB.com reports.

    Moncada has gone 8-for-15 across five games with the Arizona Complex League club but has had mixed results in terms of his recovery, per manager Pedro Grifol. The team has consistently stated they will be cautious with Moncada, so he could engage in a lengthy rehab assignment.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Dealing with neck issue

    Urias was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Rangers due to neck soreness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Urias was originally set to draw the start at third base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, but he was ultimately a late scratch. The 30-year-old will look to take advantage of Monday's off day before Baltimore starts a three-game series in Miami on Tuesday.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Clubs 12th home run

    Burger went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

    Burger took Adrian Houser deep in the seventh inning for his second homer since the All-Star break and his fifth already in the month of July. Burger has been heating up at the dish, with six of his 12 homers this season coming over his last 18 games, and he's hitting .296/.342/.592 over his last 71 at-bats.
