Kim (calf) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kim will miss out on a third straight start after he made an early exit in his season and Rays debut in Friday's loss to the Twins due to a right calf strain. According to Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun, Kim said Monday that despite his continued absence from the lineup, his calf feels "closer to normal," and he doesn't expect to go back on the injured list. Taylor Walls will pick up the start at shortstop in Kim's stead in the series opener.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Twins.

Walls' playing time has fluctuated this season, and he's likely to primarily become a fielding replacement once Ha-Seong Kim (calf) is able to return to the lineup. However, Walls took advantage of his start Sunday, popping his third home run of the season to lead off the third inning. Despite the positive performance, he's gone just 3-for-22 across his last seven starts.

Story went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over Washington.

Story piled on in the first inning, finishing off Boston's four-run frame with a two-run homer, his 14th of the season. He had himself a nice weekend in the nation's capital, going 6-for-15 with two home runs and six RBI. Story has hit safely in eight straight contests, going 15-for-32 (.469) with three home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI, three steals and nine runs scored.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 4-1 loss to San Diego.

Seager doubled home a run in the first inning to give Texas an early lead. He's hit safely in 10 of the last 11 games and reached base safely in all 11, going 12-for-41 (.293) with four home runs, three doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored during that stretch.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Smith led off the game with a single and came home on a Corey Seager double to give the Rangers an early lead. It was the second straight game that Smith had a hand in giving Texas an early lead -- he homered to lead off Saturday's win. In 44 games as the team's leadoff hitter, Smith is slashing .284/.350/.448. His 42 runs scored in 77 games tops the Rangers.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a home run, two walks and three RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Adames twice drew bases-loaded walks to force in runs. He also had a solo shot in the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to seven games. During that span, he's gone 11-for-26 (.423) with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and four walks. The shortstop's up to a .226/.313/.370 slash line with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 50 runs scored and four stolen bases through 90 contests this season.

Bichette went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

Bichette's solo home run in the fourth inning marked his 100th hit of the season, and he later came around to score the game-winning run in the sixth. The shortstop has now hit safely in three straight starts since returning from a sore right knee and has logged at least one hit in 11 of his past 13 contests. For the season, he's slashing .270/.310/.427 with 12 homers, 51 RBI, 41 runs scored and four steals across 394 plate appearances.

Sweeney went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over Cleveland.

Sweeney came up clutch with a three-run blast in the 10th inning to lead Detroit to victory. It was his first long ball since May 12, and he's now 2-for-10 since returning from Triple-A Toledo. Sweeney has produced a lackluster .604 OPS with 27 RBI and 11 extra-base hits through 75 MLB games this season.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Pena (rib) has an "outside chance" of returning from the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

That being said, Brown noted that the shortstop has yet to resume baseball activities since landing on the IL on June 30 due to a small fracture on the left side of his ribs, so Pena will almost certainly need to kick his rehab program into high gear within the next day or two if he's going to be activated prior to the Astros' final game of the first half next Sunday versus the Rangers. While Pena has been out, Mauricio Dubon has served as the Astros' primary shortstop, starting at the position in six of the last eight contests.

Short went 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Dodgers.

Short garnered his second consecutive start at shortstop and made the most of it, notching his first three-hit performance since June 21, 2023 when he was a Tiger. The 30-year-old journeyman joined the Astros on July 2 after slashing .211/.356/.402 with 12 homers over 73 Triple-A games. Short will likely be in the mix for occasional appearances in the Houston infield while Jeremy Pena (rib), Brendan Rodgers (oblique) and Luis Guillorme (hamstring) all remain on the injured list.
