Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Lopez earned a promotion after 15-for-26 with two home runs at Jacksonville. He's starting at third base Monday against the Giants but should ultimately settle into a utility role.

Lopez will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Monday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Lopez was claimed off waivers earlier this month and has gone 15-for-26 with two home runs at Jacksonville. The utility player should be used in a reserve role.

Hamilton is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Guardians.

Hamilton had started six of the last seven games at shortstop, but he will yield to Ceddanne Rafaela on Monday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Wilyer Abreu will become a regular versus righties moving forward, per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, which would seem to indicate he plans to use Rafaela more at shortstop. It could mean Hamilton squeezed out of regular at-bats.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.

Henderson hit a game-tying RBI single in the seventh inning. The shortstop has turned things around by hitting safely in five of the last six games while adding four RBI in that span. He's batting .233 on the year with a 5:16 K:BB through 67 plate appearances, but he's also provided well-rounded production in the counting stats with three home runs, four steals, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored. Henderson has yet to hit anywhere other than leadoff in 2024.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Twins.

Baez has gotten off to a horrendous start, as he's batting just .140 with a .361 OPS even after the home run, which was his first of the season. The shortstop has had a rough time in Detroit the last three years, and his big contract is likely the main reason he's holding onto a starting role. However, the Tigers could choose to reduce Baez's playing time if he doesn't pick things up soon.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run with an additional RBI during Sunday's 9-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

Turner was the lone source of offense for the Phillies, notching a solo homer off Mitch Keller in the third inning and then driving in Johan Rojas on a fifth-inning single. Turner is slashing .302/.371/.397 with four stolen bases across 16 games played.

Winn won't start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Winn takes a seat for the fourth time in 16 games this season, though he's off to a hot start with a .349 average, five RBI and two steals. Brandon Crawford will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday.

Allen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Allen will head to the bench for the second time in four games after a 1-for-4 showing at the plate in Saturday's 3-1 loss actually improved to his season-long slash line to a woeful .167/.205/.214 over 44 plate appearances. Darell Hernaiz will get a start at shortstop and could be pushing Allen for primary duties at the position.

Shewmake is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Shewmake was unsurprisingly held out of the starting nine against a pair of lefties in the first two games of the series, but his absence from the lineup Sunday versus Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft comes as more of a surprise. Paul DeJong will draw another start at shortstop Sunday despite going 0-for-5 at the dish over the previous two days.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caballero will retreat to the bench for the series finale after he went 7-for-22 with a home run and a stolen base while starting each of the past six games. Niko Goodrum will replace Caballero at shortstop and will bat seventh.
