White Sox's Kyle Teel: Out 3-to-6 weeks with sprained LCL
Teel (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined an additional 3-to-6 weeks after suffering a sprained LCL in his right knee during a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Teel tweaked the knee on a swing during his fourth rehab contest, which will delay his season debut several more weeks. He initially landed on the 10-day injured list before the season due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will continue to share catching duties for the White Sox while Teel recuperates.

Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Back with big-league club
Fulford was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Carlos Narvaez C | BAL
Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Not starting in series opener
Narvaez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Narvaez will get at least one game off after he exited in the sixth inning of Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta due to right middle finger discomfort. X-rays on Narvaez's finger came back negative, so the Red Sox are viewing him as day-to-day for the time being. Connor Wong will get the nod behind the dish in Monday's series opener against the Royals.

Red Sox's Connor Wong: Checking back into starting nine
Wong (ankle) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Royals.
Carlos Narvaez (finger) is on the bench for the series opener after exiting Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta, but Wong is feeling well enough to make his first start since Wednesday following a recent bout with a right ankle injury. Wong came off the bench to replace Narvaez in Sunday's contest, going 1-for-2 with a run scored.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Getting night off versus lefty
Wells is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
Wells will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed batters Trent Grisham, Spencer Jones and Ryan McMahon while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Blue Jays in the series opener. J.C. Escarra will replace Wells behind the dish.

Rays' Hunter Feduccia: On bench versus lefty
Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Feduccia will hit the bench for the second day in a row, but he had started in three of the Rays' previous four matchups versus right-handed pitchers. Nick Fortes will get the nod at catcher Monday against Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers as the Rays run a loose platoon behind the plate.

Samuel Basallo C | BAL
Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Not playing regularly vs. lefties
Basallo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
Though Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun a week ago that the left-handed-hitting Basallo had "earned the right" to face southpaws, the 21-year-old will end up being excluded from the lineup for the third time in four matchups with lefty starters since Albernaz made that comment. Adley Rutschman will start behind the plate, Coby Mayo will cover first base and Pete Alonso will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter Monday while southpaw Shane McClanahan takes the hill for Tampa Bay.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Out 3-to-4 weeks
Trevino is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
It's the least severe diagnosis Trevino could have hoped for, but he will still require longer than a minimum absence. P.J. Higgins will back up Tyler Stephenson at catcher for the Reds while Trevino is shelved.
