Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Though he'll exit the lineup with southpaw Logan Allen taking the hill for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Clemens appears to have temporarily settled into a regular starting role versus righties while injuries have begun to mount for Minnesota. Clemens started in each of the Twins' last five games, going 8-for-19 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and an additional run.

Andujar was scratched from the Athletics' lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Andujar was originally slated to start at third base, but Gio Urshela will be the one starting at the hot corner and batting ninth. The Athletics have yet to provide a reason for the lineup change.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Schneemann will hit the bench for the first time since May 10, ending a streak of seven consecutive starts. Angel Martinez will fill in at second base in place of Schneemann, who has earned an everyday role by slashing .265/.339/.500 with six home runs and 13 RBI over 110 plate appearances on the season.

Mize (hamstring) threw a five-inning simulated game Monday and is on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The Tigers lost Reese Olson (finger) to the 15-day IL on Monday but will get some reinforcement with Mize poised to return this weekend. Mize has been shelved since mid-May with a left hamstring strain.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Reese Olson (finger), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Lee has permitted only one run with a 9:4 K:BB over nine innings during his multiple stints in the majors this season.

Bradfield (hamstring) went 2-for-13 with two steals and three runs scored across four games with High-A Aberdeen during their series against Hudson Valley last week.

Bradfield landed on the 7-day injured list early April due to a left hamstring injury. He appeared in three games for the Orioles' Florida Complex League before shifting over to High-A, and the 23-year-old could be close to returning to Double-A Chesapeake barring any setbacks. Bradfield went 7-for-18 with two steals and one RBI in his first six games in Double-A before his injury.

The Tigers placed Olson on the 15-day injured list Monday with right ring finger inflammation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It's not clear when or how Olson was injured, but he showed no signs of being hurt his last time out Saturday against the Blue Jays, tossing six scoreless innings. The timing is poor, as the right-hander has logged a 1.60 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings over his last six starts. Olson will be eligible for activation June 2, but it's uncertain whether he'll be ready on that date.

Kjerstad is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Though his playing-time outlook appears to have improved in the wake of Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) returning to the injured list, Kjerstad isn't yet locked back into a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. The newly recalled Dylan Carlson will join Ramon Laureano and Cedric Mullins in the outfield in place of Kjerstad, who has gone 3-for-19 at the dish over his last seven games to bring his average down to .211 on the season.

The Angels reinstated Bachman (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Bachman started the season on the IL while he recovered from thoracic outlet syndrome, which prevented him from pitching in any Cactus League games during spring training. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire, with whom he made two one-inning appearances before heading to Triple-A. He's since made three one-inning relief appearances for Salt Lake and looks poised to remain in the Triple-A bullpen after he had been previously been utilized as a starter in the minors since the Angels selected him in the first round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Sosa finds himself on the bench for the White Sox's third straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Luis Castillo) and looks to have moved into more a part-time role while Josh Rojas has settled in as the team's primary second baseman. The White Sox will have a regular spot in the lineup available for Sosa when the team faces left-handed pitching, but the lack of a consistent role against righties significantly limits his fantasy appeal.
