Volpe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Volpe had started in four of the Yankees' previous five games but went just 3-for-17 with a walk during that stretch. Jose Caballero will cover Volpe's usual spot at shortstop in the series opener.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Trammell will head to the bench after he went 4-for-21 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs while starting in the Astros' last seven games. Brice Matthews will replace Trammell in center field and will bat ninth.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Uceta has yet to resume throwing and will meet with a doctor to have his nagging right shoulder injury examined, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Uceta has been limited to four rehab appearances due to a right shoulder strain and has remained shut down since he suffered a setback in late May. It's unclear whether surgery to address the injury is a possibility, but even if a procedure isn't on the table, Uceta is nowhere close to being ready to pitch in a game.

The Astros optioned Delgado (finger) to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Delgado will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to fellow infielder Braden Shewmake (adductor), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. During his latest stint in the big leagues, Delgado appeared in appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 with a double, a walk and a run. Delgado exited early in a start during last Wednesday's loss to the Twins due to dislocated pinkie finger on his right hand, but he made a pinch-hitting appearance and played an inning at shortstop in Friday's loss to the Rays and should be ready to handle an everyday role at Sugar Land.

Wade will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Wade will pick up a third straight start in left field, despite going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the final two games of the Astros' weekend series versus the Rays. After the Astros sent Joey Loperfido back to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Wade looks like he'll have an opportunity to solidify himself as a strong-side platoon player in the Houston outfield.

Chisholm (toe) will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Rays.

Chisholm was lifted from Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Twins due to right big toe discomfort, but X-rays returned negative and he won't have to miss a start. The 28-year-old enters play Monday having posted just a .433 OPS across his last 10 games.

The Astros reinstated Shewmake (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Monday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series opener in Washington, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Shewmake is back with Houston after a right adductor strain kept him on the shelf for just over a month. The 28-year-old completed a four-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Sugar Land over the past week, going 3-for-11 with two doubles, three walks and one stolen base. Shewmake could temporarily supplant Nick Allen as the Astros' preferred option at shortstop, though both will be relegated to bench roles when Jeremy Pena (calf) likely makes his return from the IL later this week.

Feduccia is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Yankees.

The lefty-swinging Feduccia started four of the previous five contests versus right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Yankees send righty Cam Schlittler to the mound. Nick Fortes will do the catching and bat seventh in the series opener.

Mesa is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Yankees.

Mesa started the previous five and nine of the last 10 games for the Rays, but he will exit the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Bronx Bombers. Jonny DeLuca will cover right field and bat fifth.

Oviedo (elbow) began a throwing program in mid-June but isn't considered close to a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Oviedo has been on the shelf since April 3 after sustaining a right flexor strain during a long-relief appearance in his season and Red Sox debut March 30 in Houston. The Red Sox haven't revealed where Oviedo currently stands in his throwing program, but until he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment, a target date for his return from the 60-day injured list won't be available.
