Kremer (quadriceps) will throw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Monday and is under consideration to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Kremer has been shelved since late April with a right quad strain, but he looks to be in line to rejoin the Orioles rotation Wednesday as long as he completes Monday's bullpen session and bounces back with no issues. The righty struck out eight over 6.2 scoreless frames in his last rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, getting his pitch count up to 79. Kremer posted a 4.09 ERA and 16:2 K:BB over 11 innings covering two starts with Baltimore before getting hurt.

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

It's the first time since April 17 and just the second time all season that Greene has been absent from the lineup. Matt Vierling will play left field and bat leadoff versus left-hander Ryan Weathers while Greene takes a seat.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Benintendi will be given a night off after he went 4-for-15 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while serving as Chicago's designated hitter over the previous four games. Randal Grichuk will get a turn at DH in the series opener in Baltimore.

Ingle is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Ingle will head to the bench for the first time since he was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Friday. While making two starts at designated hitter and one in left field during the Guardians' weekend series versus Seattle, Ingle went 1-for-7 with three walks, two RBI and one run.

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

Rhys Hoskins will draw the start at first base while southpaw Tyler Alexander opens the game for Texas, but the left-handed-hitting Manzardo could replace Hoskins at some point later in the contest once the Rangers send a right-hander to the bump. Manzardo had started each of the Guardians' last 12 games but went just 8-for-42 (.190 average) with 15 strikeouts during that stretch.

Arias will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

After returning to the active roster June 14 following an extended stint on the injured list, Arias got off to a rough start while filling a utility role for the Guardians, slashing just .182/.182/.227 with 13 strikeouts in seven games. With Daniel Schneemann having endured an even longer dry spell at the plate, the Guardians appear to have turned third base over to Arias while the club awaits the return of Jose Ramirez (hand) from the injured list. Arias will draw a third consecutive start after going 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run over the final two games of the Guardians' weekend series versus the Mariners.

Mayo is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the White Sox.

Mayo had made nine consecutive starts, though that was preceded by a stretch when he was out of the lineup for five straight games. With Adley Rutschman and Dylan Beavers having returned from the injured list Sunday, there could be fewer opportunities moving forward for Mayo, who will have to contend with Blaze Alexander for reps at third base. Alexander is at the hot corner for Monday's series opener.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Bailey made three straight starts behind the dish before being left out of the lineup in Sunday's 6-5 win over Seattle. He ended up entering Sunday's contest as a pinch hitter, striking out in his lone at-bat while catching the game's final three innings. The Guardians may be looking to give Bailey a proper rest day Monday while Austin Hedges receives the starting nod at catcher in the series opener.

The Yankees recalled Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

He'll grab the roster spot vacated by David Bednar, who was placed on the paternity leave list. Bird boasts a 27:7 K:BB over 24 innings with the Yankees this season, though that's come with a bloated 4.88 ERA. He could be sent back down later this week when Bednar returns.

The Yankees placed Bednar on the paternity list Monday.

While he welcomes a new addition to his family, Bednar will be away from the Yankees for between one and three days. If Bednar ends up missing the entirety of their three-game series versus the Tigers to begin the week, the Yankees will likely turn to Camilo Doval or Fernando Cruz for any save situations that might arise.
