Wong is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Toronto, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

It looks to be a routine day off for Wong. Danny Jansen will do the catching for the Red Sox on Tuesday.

O'Neill is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

O'Neill returned to the lineup Monday at designated hitter after missing both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with a back issue. It's not clear whether it's his back that's keeping him out of Tuesday's lineup. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will be in the corner outfield spots for the Red Sox.

Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

Sosa had started each of the previous 10 games at second base but will begin this one on the bench. Nicky Lopez will handle the keystone and bat leadoff for the White Sox.

Fletcher is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

He'll take a seat for the series opener after starting each of the previous five games. Zach DeLoach will cover right field for the White Sox while Fletcher gets some rest.

Dominguez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Dominguez started the previous two games and went 2-for-8 with a two-run homer and a stolen base, but he'll sit for Tuesday's series opener versus Baltimore. Alex Verdugo will take over in left field and bat ninth.

Scott (back) played catch in the outfield at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Scott just landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a thoracic spine strain, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing again. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but the Astros are hoping to have him available as an option at some point during the playoffs.

Jimenez accepted Baltimore's decision to option him to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Jimenez had to approve the move to the minors due to his MLB service time, and he'll stick in the Orioles organization for the time being. The 27-year-old played in 33 games since being acquired from the White Sox and posted a .232/.270/.316 slash line with one homer in 100 plate appearances. Jimenez has a $16.5 million club option for 2025, but Baltimore is likely to pay the $3 million buyout.

Melendez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

The left-handed hitting Melendez will yield to Tommy Pham in left field as southpaw Mitchell Parker toes the rubber for the Nationals. Melendez has been out of the lineup all four times the Royals have faced a lefty this month.

The Orioles reinstated Mountcastle (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined for the past month due to a sprained left wrist, but he's ready to rejoin Baltimore after a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. Mountcastle was in the midst of a 3-for-22 slump prior to the injury, and he also struggled during the rehab stint with just one hit and six strikeouts in 11 at-bats. He is not in Tuesday's lineup versus the Yankees, as Ryan O'Hearn will be at first base.

Massey is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

It's southpaw Mitchell Parker on the bump for the Nationals, so the left-handed hitting Massey will grab a seat. Garrett Hampson is handling second base for the Royals.
