Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Turner has now been absent from the lineup for two straight games and three times over his club's last five contests. He did enter the game twice over that stretch as a pinch hitter and will be an option to do so again Monday when/if the White Sox put a left-handed reliever in. Daniel Vogelbach will start at designated hitter Monday.

Santander is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Red Sox.

Santander has homered twice in his last four contests, but he's also done a lot of swinging and missing of late with 10 strikeouts across his past 25 plate appearances. Kyle Stowers is getting a start in right field.

Isbel (face) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Minnesota.

Isbel suffered a facial injury Saturday and will now miss a second straight start. He's considered day-to-day. Dairon Blanco will get the call in center field Monday.

Irvin will start Monday's game against the Red Sox in Baltimore, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

As expected, Irvin will draw back into the rotation as a replacement for John Means (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Though he made his last two appearances in relief, Irvin shouldn't be in line for any major workload restrictions Monday after he covered 3.1 innings out of the bullpen last Wednesday against the Cardinals. Over his prior seven starts with Baltimore this season, Irvin went 4-1 with a 2.90 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB in 40.1 innings.

Volpe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Volpe extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the sixth inning. He would then steal second and come around to score off a Juan Soto double to open up the scoring and force Joe Musgrove out of the game. His hit streak is the longest by a Yankee since Derek Jeter in 2012. Volpe is currently tied for sixth in the American League with 61 hits and tied for fifth with 11 steals. The 23-year-old has been thriving in the leadoff spot for the majority of the season and is now slashing .282/.355/.435 with 18 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 36 runs and a 22:52 BB:K in 244 plate appearances.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Blue Jays.

Lee has wrestled the starting catcher job for the White Sox away from Martin Maldonado, but he's really struggled lately in going 4-for-27 with 14 strikeouts. Maldonado will do the catching for Nick Nastrini on Monday.

Ramos is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Ramos returned from the injured list over the weekend but went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts at the plate. He'll get a day off Monday to regroup, with Danny Mendick filling in at third base.

The Orioles optioned Vespi to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Vespi is clearing out to make room for Thyago Vieira, who has officially been added to the roster after being acquired via trade over the weekend. The left-handed Vespi has made one appearance with the Orioles this season, throwing a scoreless inning.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

The Orioles have southpaw Cole Irvin on the mound Monday, so the left-handed hitting Abreu will take a seat. Rob Refsnyder will be in right field for the Red Sox and also occupy the second spot in the batting order.

Santana is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Santana will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Alec Marsh) for the third time in five games. The downturn in opportunities comes while Santana has fallen into a 5-for-33 skid at the plate (.152 average) over his last 10 starts, bringing his slash line down to .201/.282/.361 over 188 plate appearances on the season. The Minnesota infield will become more crowded when Royce Lewis (quadricep) returns from the 10-day injured list, potentially as soon as later this week, so Santana could be on the way out of the everyday lineup, if he hasn't lost his spot already.
