Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Garcia took a seat in back-to-back games for the first time all year Wednesday and Friday but returned to the lineup for a pair of games against the Reds over the weekend. Once again, the 24-year-old is absent from the starting nine, giving way to Paul DeJong at third base Monday.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Renfroe broke out of his 0-for-24 slump during Kansas City's three-game set against Cincinnati, going 3-for-9 with a double and a run scored across two starts. However, the 32-year-old will retreat to the bench Monday as Adam Frazier fills right field.

The Royals optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez allowed just one earned run with a 6:1 K:BB over four innings during his most recent stint in the majors but nonetheless is being sent out. John Schreiber is back from the injured list to absorb his roster spot.

The Royals activated Schreiber (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Schreiber will rejoin the Royals bullpen after a three-week stay on the injured list due to right knee soreness. The 30-year-old has a 4.14 ERA and a 30:13 K:BB across 37 innings for the Royals this season. Carlos Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

The Rangers recalled Anderson from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Anderson will replace Gerson Garabito -- who threw four scoreless innings Sunday -- on the 26-man roster, giving the Rangers a fresh arm for the start of a three-game series against the Pirates. In 22.2 innings with the Rangers, Anderson has a 7.54 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that he expects Bichette (calf) to begin running in 2-to-3 days, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette recently resumed hitting and fielding drills at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Florida and is almost ready to take another big step when he starts up a running program. If he shows he can run without issue, a rehab assignment would figure to be around the corner. Bichette has been shelved since late July with a moderate right calf strain.

The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Garabito had been with the Rangers since July 29, posting a 3.48 ERA across 10.1 innings for the team, including four scoreless frames Sunday. However, the Rangers will cycle in Grant Anderson and his fresh arm for some immediate bullpen help.

Bregman (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Bregman will hit the bench for a fourth straight game due to swelling in the back of his right elbow. According to MLB.com, manager Joe Espada said that Bregman has resumed hitting in the batting cage and taking ground balls, but Rome speculates that the third baseman could nonetheless remain out of the lineup until the beginning of the Astros' road trip Thursday in Baltimore. Shay Whitcomb will get another start at third base Monday in place of Bregman.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Houston.

Abreu is absent from the Red Sox starting lineup for Monday's series opener against lefty Yusei Kikuchi and the Astros. Rob Refsnyder, Jarren Duran and Tyler O'Neill fill the outfield from left to right.

The Red Sox recalled Weissert to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Weissert was sent down in late July after yielding 17 runs across 12.2 innings covering his last 11 relief appearances. He appeared to right the ship at Worcester, allowing one run with a 7:2 K:BB over six frames.
