Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Peraza will hit the bench for the third game in a row and will likely see limited use in a utility role for the foreseeable future after the Yankees addressed their need for an everyday third baseman by acquiring Ryan McMahon from the Rockies over the weekend. Before McMahon's arrival, Peraza had been serving as New York's primary option at the hot corner, but the 25-year-old has slashed just .152/.212/.241 over 170 plate appearances with the Yankees on the season and doesn't look ready for extended playing time in the majors.

Rice is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

He had started in four of the Yankees' last five games, but Rice will give way to Paul Goldschmidt at first base as New York opens a four-game set with Tampa Bay. Rice has gotten off to a slow start to the second half, recording four hits (one home run, two doubles) in 24 at-bats through his first nine games.

Arias is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

Arias started each of the first three games for the Guardians upon his return from the 10-day injured list last week, but he'll get a breather for Monday's series opener. Brayan Rocchio will handle shortstop and hit eighth.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Naylor will take a seat for the series opener while Austin Hedges catches for right-hander Slade Cecconi on Monday. Since the All-Star break, Naylor has gone 4-for-23 with a home run, two doubles, three walks, three RBI and four runs in seven contests.

Robert (forearm) will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Phillies.

Robert was struck on the right forearm by a pitch in the ninth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs, but X-rays came back clean, and he's made enough progress to re-enter the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old has finally heated up at the plate with a .926 OPS in July and is good bet to be traded to a contender ahead of Thursday's deadline.

The Tigers recalled Ibanez from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Ibanez has been with Toledo since early June but will get another chance in the big leagues after slashing .268/.376/.437 this month in the minors. The 32-year-old should see some reps for the Tigers against left-handed pitching and will enter the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks, manning third base and batting sixth.

The Guardians recalled Herrin from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Herrin will join the Cleveland bullpen in place of Emmanuel Clase (personal), who was placed on administrative leave through Aug. 31 due to his involvement in MLB's gambling investigation. Though the absence of Clase creates a void in the ninth inning, Herrin is likely to be used in middle relief initially rather than factoring into the mix for saves. The 28-year-old lefty has posted a 3.99 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB in 29.1 innings with the big club this season.

The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Hiraldo has made two scoreless relief appearances during his brief time in the majors this season. He's clearing out to make space on the active roster for Keegan Akin's (shoulder) return from the 15-day injured list.

The Orioles designated Stallings for assignment Monday.

Adley Rutschman (oblique) is back from the 10-day injured list, and the Orioles elected to keep Alex Jackson around over Stallings as Rutschman's backup. Stallings is likely to clear waivers, and if that happens, he would have the ability to elect free agency.

The Orioles activated Akin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Akin missed a month of action with left shoulder inflammation but has been cleared to return after making three rehab appearances. The southpaw should see some high-leverage appearances in the Orioles bullpen, but he could be a candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
