White will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Angels.

White will draw a fifth straight start in center field and looks set to handle a regular role at the position for as long as Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) remains on the injured list. Since being acquired from Atlanta on Aug. 3, White has produced a .280/.308/.400 slash line with one home run, one stolen base, 11 RBI and 10 runs across 52 plate appearances with Boston.

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

Taveras will hit the bench for the third time in six games as the Orioles kick off a three-game set against the Guardians. Even though Luis Robert's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list has eased the logjam in the Baltimore outfield a bit, Taveras could still be in store for a part-time role if the Orioles elect to prioritize Blaze Alexander in right field ahead of him.

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

After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox while lefty Payton Tolle started for the opposition, the left-handed-hitting Cowser will be held out of the lineup while the Orioles face a second consecutive lefty starter (Joey Cantillo). Rece Hinds will take Cowser's spot in center field and will bat eighth.

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

Since being promoted to the big leagues April 28, the left-handed-hitting Bazzana has submitted a weak .188./296/.231 slash line (58 wRC+) over 135 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He'll head to the bench Monday while southpaw Trevor Rogers toes the rubber for the Orioles.

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

The left-handed-hitting Lowe will hit the bench for the third time in four games while Baltimore sends southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump in the series opener. David Fry will spell Lowe at first base and will bat fifth.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Austin Hedges has been the Guardians' preferred option at catcher against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the nod over Bailey on Monday while the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the mound.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that DeLauter (wrist), who is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Orioles, is "feeling a lot better" and will do some hitting pregame, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Vogt reiterated that he considers DeLauter's sprained right wrist a "day-to-day" situation that isn't going to force him to the injured list. Though Angel Martinez will get the nod in right field in the series opener, DeLauter could be back in the lineup Tuesday if he doesn't experience any setbacks following his workout Monday.

Manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Bautista's (shoulder) return from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Bautista kicked off his rehab assignment in late August and has made five appearances with Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk, allowing four runs on three hits and six walks with five strikeouts across four innings. He hasn't pitched in the big leagues since July 20 of last year due to shoulder surgery.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Monday that Garcia has had "no recurrence of symptoms" related to his strained left hamstring and is running at 90 percent speed, Joel Penfield of KCSN.com reports.

In addition to running, Garcia is also taking part in fielding drills and hitting in the batting cage, according to Quatraro. Currently in the midst of his second stint on the injured list of the season, Garcia looks on track to return to action at some point later this month, despite the 64-80 Royals having little at stake. After a breakout 2025 campaign, Garcia's performance has taken a step back this season, with the 26-year-old producing a .269/.324/.385 slash line to go with three home runs, five steals, 32 RBI and 34 runs in 73 games before he landed on the shelf Aug. 21.

Manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that O'Neill's shoulder isn't responding to rehab the way they'd hoped, and he's dealing with a "significant" injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

O'Neill was eligible to come off the 10-day injured list this week, but that isn't going to happen, as he'll miss more time with his strained right rotator cuff. The 31-year-old has had an injury-marred two seasons in Baltimore. After appearing in just 54 games last season, O'Neill has been limited to 85 appearances in 2026. He has a miserable .206/.296/.383 slash line across 139 career games with the Orioles.
