Triple-A Durham reinstated Sterner (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Sterner went about one month between appearances due to an unspecified injury, though he looked electric in his first game back Friday against Triple-A Columbus. The 28-year-old right-hander fanned three batters in a perfect inning and now owns a 3.67 ERA with 48 strikeouts across 41.2 frames this season with Durham.

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

Lopez and fellow left-handed batters Gavin Sheets and Dominic Fletcher will head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the hill for the series opener. Jacob Amaya will fill in for Lopez at shortstop.

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

With lefty Joey Cantillo on the hill for Cleveland, Sheets and fellow left-handed hitters Nicky Lopez and Dominic Fletcher will retreat to the bench. Bryan Ramos will fill in for Sheets as Chicago's designated hitter.

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

Fletcher will take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Sheets and Nicky Lopez while southpaw Joey Cantillo takes the hill for the Guardians. Corey Julks will replace Fletcher in right field and will bat leadoff.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

The lefty-hitting Manzardo will head to the bench for the third game in a row while southpaw Jared Shuster opens the game for the White Sox. David Fry will step in for Manzardo as the Guardians' designated hitter.

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

With a lefty (Jared Shuster) opening the game for the White Sox, the lefty-hitting Schneemann will begin the contest on the bench, though he could be used once a right-hander enters from the bullpen. Schneemann had been included in the lineup in four of the previous five contests, making two starts in center field, one at shortstop and one at third base.

Angels manager Ron Washington said Monday that he expects Rendon (back) to return to the lineup Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

He's out of the lineup for a second straight contest Monday due to left side back soreness, but Washington said holding Rendon out is a precautionary measure. The veteran third baseman is slashing an anemic .218/.307/.267 over 238 plate appearances this season.

Melendez is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Melendez will begin Monday's contest on the bench with the Yankees sending left-hander Carlos Rodon to the mound. Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson and Hunter Renfroe will make up the Royals' starting outfield in the series opener.

Isbel is absent from Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

Isbel will avoid a matchup with Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon. Garrett Hampson will start in center field Monday and bat ninth.

DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

DeJong has gone 3-for-26 with one home run and 13 strikeouts over his last eight games, so he'll begin Monday's game on the bench while he's slumping at the plate. Maikel Garcia will check in for DeJong at third base and will bat seventh.
