    Garver is not in the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

  • Matt Thaiss C | BOS

    Angels' Matt Thaiss: Out of Monday's lineup

    Thaiss is not in Monday's lineup against the Rangers.

    He went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and four RBI in Sunday's game against the White Sox. Thaiss is now hitting .265 with one home run and 15 strikeouts in 14 games this month. David Fletcher starts at third base in his stead.

  • Omar Narvaez C | HOU

    Mariners' Omar Narvaez: Sitting again Monday

    Narvaez is not starting Monday against the Rays, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

  • Angels' Anthony Bemboom: Connects on first career homer

    Bemboom went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a victory over the White Sox on Sunday.

    In his final at-bat of the game, Bemboom launched a 422-foot shot to right field with a man aboard. The blast was his first major-league home run and just the fourth base hit of any kind in his career. Prior to joining the Angels on August 11, the 29-year-old had spent eight seasons in the minors, collecting 34 long balls in 497 games.

  • Rays' Travis d'Arnaud: Productive at plate

    D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a double, a sacrifice fly and a run in a win over the Tigers on Sunday.

    D'Arnaud continued his resurgence from a recent slump, and he crossed the plate with the winning run on Ji-Man Choi's single in the ninth. The veteran has now hit safely in three of the last four games following an 0-for-20 skid that encompassed five contests earlier in the month.

  • Matt Thaiss C | BOS

    Angels' Matt Thaiss: Collects four RBI

    Thaiss went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, and four RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win over the White Sox.

    Thaiss opened the game's scoring with a three-run shot off White Sox starter Dylan Cease. The 24-year-old infielder has six homers since his MLB debut on July 3.

  • Austin Nola C | COL

    Mariners' Austin Nola: Launches sixth homer

    Nola went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against Toronto.

    Nola smacked a solo homer in the fourth inning, marking his sixth long ball of the season. The 29-year-old is now slashing .314/.362/.537 with 14 extra-base hits and 13 RBI over 45 games in 2019.

  • Tom Murphy C | SF

    Mariners' Tom Murphy: Smacks 13th homer

    Murphy went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Toronto.

    Murphy launched a two-run home run in the fourth inning, handing his team a four-run lead. He'll end his week on a high note, as he's now homered three times in the last two days. Murphy will also head into Monday's series opener in Tampa Bay with a six-game hitting streak.

  • Max Stassi C | SF

    Angels' Max Stassi: Sitting Sunday

    Stassi is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Stassi will give way to Anthony Bemboom behind the plate in what looks like a true timeshare at catcher. The two have alternated turns in each of the past six contests.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Rangers' Jose Trevino: Sitting Sunday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    With starts in three of the previous four games, Trevino seems to have unseated Jeff Mathis for the top catching role in Texas. Mathis will get the nod in the day game after the night game, however, catching for Lance Lynn.
