Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Sitting against right-hander
Feduccia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
After taking a seat against Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga in Sunday's 4-3 loss, the left-handed-hitting Feduccia will now give way to Nick Fortes behind the plate while the Rays face off against a right-hander (Trey Yesavage) in the series opener. Feduccia is batting just .156 since being acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline and could be at risk of losing out on his strong-side platoon role at catcher.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Shelved with sore elbow
The Orioles placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow discomfort.
Suarez pitched well in an abbreviated start during Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays, striking out five over three innings of one-run ball. However, he came out of it with a sore pitching elbow, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season. Suarez had previously missed most of the season with a right shoulder strain. He will undergo an MRI on his elbow Monday night to determine the severity of the injury, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Filling in for resting Kirk
Heineman will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rays.
No. 1 backstop Alejandro Kirk will receive a day off as Toronto opens its three-game series in Tampa, paving the way for Heineman to receive a turn behind the plate. Since returning to the active roster June 3 after a stint on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion, Heineman has slashed .258/.362/.393 with two home runs, 13 RBI and 14 runs in 40 games.

Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Receiving night off
Kirk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Promotion to majors made official
The Blue Jays selected Yesavage's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.
Yesavage is set to make his major-league debut Monday with a start on the road against the Rays. The 22-year-old had pitched out of the bullpen in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, so while he's being used as a starter Monday, he could be in line for a relatively abbreviated outing. Yesavage has posted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Serving as opener Monday
Gilbert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher in Monday's game against the Orioles.
Gilbert will draw his fourth opener assignment this season after he yielded one run with a 6:2 K:BB over four innings in his first three outings as a starter. Sean Burke is likely to follow Gilbert in a bulk-relief role.
