Peraza (ankle) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Peraza hasn't started in a game in a week and hasn't made an appearance since last Wednesday while he contends with a right ankle sprain. The rookie appears to be reasonably healthy at this point, however, as manager Aaron Boone said prior to Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rays that Peraza was available off the bench, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Peraza looks as though he'll be limited to a utility role while he's with the big club.

Urshela went 3-for-5 and scored a run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Urshela recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season in the loss, lifting his season slash line to .304/.328/.348. He's gone 6-for-10 over his past three games, but he hasn't collected an extra-base hit since since going deep against Boston on April 15.

Peterson is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Yankees.

Peterson will remain on the bench Monday as the Athletics face left-hander Nestor Cortes on the mound. Kevin Smith will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in the series opener.

Henderson is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rays.

The left-handed-hitting Henderson will take a seat as Tampa Bay brings southpaw Shane McClanahan to the hill. Henderson is sporting just a .458 OPS against lefties this season. Ramon Urias will step in at third base Monday while Henderson retreats to the bench.

Washington activated Kieboom (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Kieboom will likely make his 2023 debut for the Triple-A club Tuesday after he wrapped up a four-game rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg over the weekend. He went 3-for-12 with a 4:6 BB:K during his time in the Eastern League. The 25-year-old remains on the Nationals' 40-man roster and could get a look in an everyday role at third base at some point later this season, but he'll likely need to stay healthy and enjoy some prolonged success at Triple-A before he merits a call-up. Kieboom was sidelined for the entire 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and missed the first month of the current campaign due to a right shoulder impingement.

Moncada (back) could remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte a bit longer, with a return from the 10-day injured list coming perhaps this weekend for the beginning of the White Sox's homestand, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that he wouldn't rule out Moncada being activated ahead of Monday's series opener in Kansas City, but all signs point to the third baseman continuing his rehab assignment a little while longer. Moncada has gone 5-for-9 with a home run in his first three rehab games, so his bat looks ready. However, the White Sox want to make sure the back injury that has kept him out since mid-April is behind him.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two steals in Sunday's 10-1 loss against Toronto.

Hayes picked up his first stolen base since April 18 after drawing a walk in the first inning before swiping a second bag in the sixth. The 26-year-old third baseman has gone 4-for-8 in his last two games following a 5-for-27 stretch. Hayes is now slashing .242/.300/.359 with a homer, 9 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases in eight attempts. While his offensive production has been modest thus far, Hayes' strikeout rate is down to 12.1 percent from 21.8 percent last season, giving some reason for optimism.

Wisdom entered as a pinch runner in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss to the Cubs in 14 innings. He wound up walking in his only plate appearance and stole a base.

Wisdom ran for Eric Hosmer in the ninth after the latter drove in a run to tie the game at 2-2. Wisdom was able to steal second but was stranded there. The 33-year-old should find himself back in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals having not started the past two games. After a hot start to the year, Wisdom is now slashing just .154/.298/.308 with two homers, three RBI, five runs and an 8:21 BB:K over his last 13 games. He is still tied for second in baseball with 11 homers, but his recent struggles have led to less playing time.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Nearly all of Machado's production came in the first inning, when he doubled in a run and came around to score. It's been a tough start for the perennial All-Star; he's slashing just .252/.303/.389 through 142 plate appearances. However, Machado has gone 12-for-33 (.363) with five extra-base hits and nine runs scored over his last eight games.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and four RBI in Sunday's 16-8 loss to the Rangers.

Rendon sat out Saturday's game with a sore thumb. It wasn't holding him back Sunday, as he opened the scoring with a three-run homer and added an RBI single in the third. The third baseman has logged multiple hits in six of his last 11 games. The long ball was his first of the season, and he's now slashing .291/.418/.360 with 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases through 25 contests.
