Gelof (wrist) had his rehab assignment paused after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his ribs, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof is on a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas that started Tuesday as he continues to work back from surgery on his right wrist, but he's now being bothered by his ribs. He'll be shut down from swinging a bat until he can get the stress reaction under control, likely pushing his 2025 debut to late May in a best-case scenario.

Arozarena (hamstring) is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Monday.

Arozarena was lifted from Sunday's loss to the Rangers due to a hamstring issue, and he will miss Monday's game while continuing to nurse the injury. The outfielder expects to be back in the lineup Tuesday, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, although the Mariners will have the ultimate say. Miles Mastrobuoni, Julio Rodriguez and Rhylan Thomas will start in the outfield for the Mariners.

Urshela is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.

Urshela will take a seat for Monday's series opener while Luis Urias and Miguel Andujar start at second and third base, respectively. Urshela has gone 11-for-34 (.324) with four RBI over his last 10 games.

Rodgers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday.

Rodgers will be in the dugout for the beginning of Monday's game while Mauricio Dubon starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Rodgers has gone 4-for-15 with two runs scored over his last four games.

Rojas is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Royals.

Rojas started the season on the injured list due to a toe injury, but he made his 2025 debut against the Astros on Sunday and went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk. With southpaw Cole Ragans taking the hill for the Royals on Monday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the contest in the dugout while Miguel Vargas starts at third base and bats second.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

The switch-hitting Baldwin will hit the bench for the second day in a row, sitting this time against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans after being held out of the lineup against a right-hander (Lance McCullers) on Sunday. Baldwin doesn't have a regular spot at any one position, but his ability to play all over the infield and outfield should allow him to make at least a handful of starts per week while he's up with the big club.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Stroman (knee) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

It's finally a notable step forward in Stroman's recovery from left knee inflammation, as this will be his first time throwing off the bump since he went on the 15-day injured list in mid-April. He's surely require a rehab assignment and it's unclear when Stroman might be ready to pitch in games.

Benintendi (calf) is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Kansas City.

Benintendi was forced to leave Sunday's affair against the Astros due to left calf tightness, so it's not a surprise he's absent from the lineup a day later. He is considered day-to-day for the time being. Michael Taylor is in left field and batting eighth in the series opener Monday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that second base is "more in play" than third base for LeMahieu (calf/hip) when LeMahieu returns from the 10-day injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The Yankees have more of a need now at second base, at least in the short term, with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) expected to be sidelined until June. LeMahieu briefly paused a rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset last week when he developed a hip issue in addition to his calf injury, but he returned to action over the weekend. All six of LeMahieu's starts so far for Somerset have come at second base. Jorbit Vivas is starting at the keystone Monday for the third time in four games, but he could be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when LeMahieu returns. LeMahieu is expected to require "not too many more" rehab games before being activated, Boone said Monday.

Rogers (knee) made his third minor-league rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over three innings, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rogers continues to struggle in the minors, producing a 10.57 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and .364 opponent batting average over 7.2 innings during his assignment. A right knee subluxation prevented the left-hander from participating in spring training, but he was able to build up to 61 pitches Sunday and could become an option for the Orioles sometime in mid-to-late May. However, Rogers will likely need to sharpen up his mechanics before the major-league club considers him a realistic possibility, as he also limped to a 7.11 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 12:10 K:BB across 19 regular-season innings after landing in Baltimore at last year's trade deadline.
