The Yankees placed Grisham on the paternity leave list Monday.

Grisham will miss at least one game and, in all likelihood, all three contests of his team's series versus the Guardians before rejoining the club for the start of a homestand Friday. Jorbit Vivas is grabbing Grisham's spot on the active roster.

Giolito (hamstring) struck out four and allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks over five innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Portland.

Giolito has made four rehab starts between stops with Portland and Triple-A Worcester, logging a collective 4.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Though his results on the farm have been unremarkable, Giolito has been able to steadily increase his workload, with his five innings and 65 pitches Sunday both representing new highs. Giolito is expected to require one more tune-up outing in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list and potentially slotting into the Red Sox rotation as soon as April 30. Since signing with the Red Sox in December 2023, Giolito has yet to make his team debut after missing the entire 2024 season while recovering from an internal brace surgery on his right elbow and then tweaking his left hamstring during spring training.

Montero will start Monday's game against the Padres in Detroit, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Though he was tagged for five earned runs over five innings while taking a loss in his 2025 MLB debut last Wednesday in Milwaukee, Montero will stick around for at least one more start while Detroit temporarily expands its rotation to six men during a stretch of 23 games in 24 days. Montero likely won't be in line for a long-term stay with Detroit, though a stronger showing against the Padres and in any future outings that follow could compel the coaching staff to find a more permanent spot for the right-hander.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Monday that Bello (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut Tuesday against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It's been the target date for Bello for a while and can now be written down in ink. The right-hander posted a 7.07 ERA in four rehab starts but posted a much more encouraging 21:4 K:BB over 14 innings. Bello didn't pitch in any games this spring and had a high pitch count of 71 during his rehab assignment, so his workload will be limited a bit initially.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

Palacios has been drawing most of the starts in right field against right-handed pitching of late, but he'll take a seat for this one versus Red Sox righty Walker Buehler. Michael Taylor is in right field and batting eighth for the White Sox.

The White Sox selected Dalbec's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Dalbec, 29, has slashed .326/.354/.696 with four home runs this season with Charlotte to earn a promotion to the big club. He could see some action at designated hitter for Chicago and is capable of handling all four corner spots defensively.

The White Sox transferred Perez (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Perez landed on the 15-day IL on Friday due to what was labeled left elbow inflammation. While the White Sox haven't revealed the results of an MRI, Perez being moved to the 60-day IL suggests the southpaw might be dealing with additional damage to the elbow. He won't be eligible to return until mid-June.

The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.

Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to the injury. He revealed Monday that it's something he's been dealing with for a few weeks, dating back to when he was still at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Chicago is likely to use Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as its primary middle infielders while Meidroth is sidelined.

Vaughn is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

It's a day off for Vaughn, who had started every game since April 4. Nick Maton is covering first base and batting leadoff for the White Sox, while Andrew Benintendi is getting at start at designated hitter.

Quero will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Monday's game versus the Red Sox.

Quero split starts with Matt Thaiss in the first four games after his promotion, with both of the switch-hitting rookie's starts coming against left-handers. However, he is in there versus righty Walker Buehler in Monday's series finale and has also been elevated to the cleanup spot. Quero is 4-for-11 with two doubles and two RBI in his first 12 plate appearances.
