Montgomery (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The White Sox will keep Montgomery on the bench for a second straight night while he manages a tight back. Montgomery is being viewed as day-to-day, and at this point, the White Sox haven't indicated that he's at major risk of landing on the injured list. His continued absence from the lineup will open up another start at shortstop for Luisangel Acuna.

Wilson (thumb) has gone 3-for-9 with two RBI and a 1:2 BB:K in his first three rehab games between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma.

Wilson began his rehab assignment with Everett last Friday and moved up to Tacoma on Tuesday. He's been shelved since early May with a fractured left thumb and could need a few more rehab games before the Mariners consider returning him to their active roster.

Paris was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Paris will move up to the Triple-A level after posting a .200 average with a triple, three doubles, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 105 at-bats in 31 contests with Double-A Rocket City so far this year. The 24-year-old posted a disappointing .190/.266/.381 slash line with six home runs, 11 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 44 contests with the Angels in 2025, but he's now just one step away from potentially rejoining the major-league roster down the road this year.

Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta due to back tightness, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

It's unclear when the injury first surfaced for Montgomery, as he started the previous four games and is coming off a team day off Monday. The issue doesn't seem to be a serious concern, so the 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. Luisangel Acuna is starting at shortstop Tuesday while top prospect Braden Montgomery was called up to make his MLB debut in the outfield.

Witt (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

After exiting Sunday's game early with right knee soreness, Witt is good to go for Tuesday's matchup against righty Nathan Eovaldi. Before going down on Sunday, the 25-year-old had recorded five hits and three walks in his past four games. Witt will play shortstop and bat second for the Royals.

Montgomery is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Montgomery started the previous four games and went 3-for-11 with a double, a homer and three walks over the past three contests, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's series opener. Luisangel Acuna is picking up a start at shortstop while prospect Braden Montgomery makes his MLB debut in the outfield for Chicago.

Crawford (hand) is still waiting for the results of a CT scan he underwent Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Crawford was hit on the right hand by a pitch last Friday and placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. The injury designation provided Monday was a contusion, but that could change depending on the results of the CT scan. The swelling in Crawford's hand has subsided, but he is still unable to grip a bat. The Mariners could have an update on the shortstop's status later Tuesday.

Pierce is on the 7-day injured list at Single-A Charleston due to an undisclosed injury.

He missed time earlier this season with a calf strain, per Ian Cundall of Baseball America, so it could be an aggravation of that injury. Pierce, the No. 14 overall pick in last year's draft, is hitting .252 with four home runs, six steals and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate in 34 games at Single-A.

Walls is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Walls has dealt with a hamstring issue this month, but this seems to be a routine day of rest. Ben Williamson will draw the start at shortstop for the Rays.

Kilby went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in a rehab game in the Florida Complex League on May 28 but has not appeared in a rehab game since as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

Kilby seemingly aggravated the hamstring in his one and only rehab game, as he's been missing in action for two weeks since then. Kilby showed an exciting set of tools in his brief pro debut last year, hitting .353 with 16 steals and a 108.9-mph max EV in 18 games at Single-A. He turns 20 in November.
