McGonigle is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

McGonigle will receive a rare day of rest after starting each of the previous 14 contests for the Tigers. Detroit will slot in Hao-Yu Lee at third base and John Peck at shortstop in Monday's series opener.

Lombard went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lombard has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, and he's added two homers in that span. His blast Sunday put the Yankees ahead as part of a four-run third inning. Lombard is batting .235 with a .676 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over his first 37 games in the majors.

Story went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Story provided the club's only offense with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in 11 straight games, and he's batting .338 overall in 19 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 30. On the year, he's slashing .247/.278/.368 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and five steals across 252 plate appearances.

Rocchio (leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Athletics.

After exiting Saturday's game early with left leg tightness, Rocchio will ride the bench for Sunday's series finale. Angel Genao will take over at shortstop and bat ninth for Cleveland.

Rocchio was removed from Saturday's 12-6 win over the Athletics with left leg tightness, MLB.com reports.

Rocchio, who was 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored, was removed after five innings in what looked like a precautionary move with the Guardians leading 11-6. He was replaced by Angel Genao.

Kreidler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Angels.

Kreidler has gone 4-for-24 (.167) with two homers and a 4:10 BB:K over 13 contests in September. He's still in a utility role even after Kaelen Culpepper (hamstring) got sidelined. Kreidler is batting .218 with a .667 OPS, eight homers, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, three triples and four stolen bases across 256 plate appearances this year.

Gimenez (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat eighth Saturday against Texas.

After missing the Jays' last two games due to hamstring soreness, Gimenez will return to action to face Cal Quantrill and the Rangers on Saturday. The 28-year-old infielder was carrying a relatively hot bat before getting hurt, going 8-for-30 (.267) with a homer and five RBI over his last eight games.

Walls isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will move to the bench after going 1-for-4 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored during his first two games back from the IL. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Walcott went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and one run scored in Double-A Frisco's loss Friday.

The loss ended the RoughRiders' postseason run, but Walcott was prominent in the three-game series. He went 4-for-11 with four walks, a solo home run and four steals. His regular season started late due to injury, but the Rangers' top prospect showed he's ready for a promotion to Triple-A Round Rock in 2027. Walcott posted a .329/.404/.608 slash line with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, 21 RBI, 12 steals and 48 runs scored over 39 regular-season contests, including two games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Tigers.

Montgomery returned from a one-game absence due to a wrist injury. He delivered a bases-clearing double in the first inning and came around to score in the same frame. It was a needed performance for Montgomery, as he's hitting just .132 while striking out at a 44.4 percent clip across 53 at-bats in September.
