Schneemann replaced Gabriel Arias (ankle) at shortstop in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals. Schneemann went 0-for-2 with a walk.

Arias was removed from the game in the third inning with what looks like a significant ankle injury. Schneemann is the most logical replacement among the players on the active roster, but the Guardians could reach down to Triple-A Columbus for Brayan Rocchio.

Arias (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Monday, MLB.com reports.

Arias was removed from Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Cardinals in the third inning after attempting to make a sliding stop on a groundball in the hole. He was carted off the field with a splint on his left leg and was later diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The MRI should provide clarity on the extent of the injury, but if Arias is forced to miss time, Daniel Schneemann could step in as the Guardians' primary option at shortstop.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Orioles.

Lowe accounted for the Rays' only run of Sunday's game with a leadoff home run in the ninth inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 16 games, during which he's gone deep five times while tallying 13 RBI and 16 runs scored.

Tauchman went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Sunday against the Giants.

Tauchman got things going for the White Sox early, doubling to lead off the home half of the first inning before coming around to score. Since returning from a four-game absence caused by a groin injury, Tauchman has gone 7-for-17 with one run scored while serving as the leadoff hitter against right-handers.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Giants.

Meidroth has struggled of late, as Sunday marked just his second multi-hit effort in his last 10 starts. He's gone a total of 8-for-38 in that span, though he has also managed to work five walks. Meidroth also tallied just his second stolen base since May 23 -- bringing his total on the season to 10 -- and has also been thrown out twice in that stretch.

Matthews (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session at Target Field on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Matthews has been on the shelf since June 8 due to a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder. He'll likely need to complete at least a couple more bullpen sessions before advancing to facing hitters in live batting practice and then heading out on a rehab assignment. Matthews could be ready to return from the injured list shortly after the All-Star break.

Greene went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Twins.

Greene doubled the Tigers' lead to 2-0 with his fourth-inning blast. It was his second homer in as many days, and he's hit six long balls while adding 19 RBI over his last 15 games. For the season, the outfielder has a .296/.348/.539 slash line, 19 homers, 63 RBI, 47 runs scored, 21 doubles and a stolen base across 83 games.

Vest struck out one over a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Twins.

Vest retired the side on a tidy eight pitches (six strikes) to earn his first save since June 12 versus the Orioles. He had a pinkie finger injury between those saves, which led to a blown save June 15 versus the Reds, but he avoided the injured list and has since turned in three scoreless innings. Vest is up to 13 saves, two holds and three blown saves while posting a 2.37 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB across 38 innings. Vest continues to hold an edge for saves over Tommy Kahnle, who worked the eighth inning Sunday.

Skubal (10-2) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out 13 over seven shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Twins.

Skubal had one of his best starts of the year -- this was second only to his two-hit shutout versus the Guardians on May 25. He also matched his season-high 13 strikeouts from that outing. Skubal has kept runs off the board in seven of his 17 starts this season, and he went a perfect 5-0 with seven runs allowed over 33.1 innings in June. For the season, he has a 2.15 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 138:14 K:BB across 109 innings, numbers even better than his Cy Young campaign from 2024. The superstar southpaw is lined up for a road start in Cleveland in his next outing.

Paddack (3-7) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 4.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Tigers.

Paddack was decent compared to recent outings, but he still gave up some loud contact, as four of the six hits he allowed went for extra bases. The first two runs came on solo shots by Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene, and Paddack's start came to an end after Carpenter's RBI triple in the fifth. Paddack has allowed 21 runs (19 earned) over his last 18.2 innings, which simply isn't good enough. His ERA is up to 4.70 with a 1.23 WHIP and 63:24 K:BB over 90 innings across 17 starts. That's already his most innings in any seasons since 2021, so it's possible the right-hander may be struggling with a heavier workload after multiple years in a row impacted by injuries. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Rays.
