Atlanta outrighted Wynns to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Drake Baldwin (oblique) is back from the injured list, and Atlanta has elected to keep Sandy Leon over Wynns as Baldwin's backup catcher. Wynns will remain in the organization as experienced catching depth at Gwinnett.

Seager (ribs/jaw) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that in addition to dealing with ribs and jaw soreness after a collision at home plate in Thursday's win over the Royals, Seager is also experiencing "mild concussion symptoms," per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. Despite that combination of injuries, Seager hasn't been deactivated and is continuing to be viewed as day-to-day after he was able to do some hitting, throwing and weightlifting Sunday, per MLB.com. Nicky Lopez will pick up a start at shortstop Monday in place of Seager, who is on the bench for a fourth consecutive game.

Atlanta activated Baldwin (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Atlanta is idle Monday, so Baldwin will return to the lineup during Tuesday's series opener at home against the Giants. Baldwin has missed almost a month of action while rehabilitating a strained oblique, but he will cleared to rejoin the active roster after playing one rehab contest with Triple-A Sacramento. The 25-year-old was looking like an MVP candidate before getting hurt, having slashed .303/.389/.543 with 13 home runs over 48 games.

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

The left-handed-hitting Gray will head to the bench while the Twins go up against a left-handed starter (MacKenzie Gore) for the second time in three games. Ryan Kreidler will step in at shortstop in place of Gray, who is batting just .176/.222/.353 in 19 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

The Astros recalled Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It will be the fourth stint in the big leagues this season for Murray, who has not fared well in his first three outings with the Astros, holding a 7.15 ERA and 5:7 K:BB across 11.1 frames. Murray will give manager Joe Espada a fresh option in the bullpen.

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

The left-handed-hitting Larnach will head to the bench while the Twins go up against a left-handed starter (MacKenzie Gore) for the second time in three games. Minnesota called up Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, and he'll step in as Larnach's replacement in left field for what will be his MLB debut.

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

Santa has made eight relief appearances for Houston this season, giving up five runs (one earned) with an 8:5 KK:B over 12.2 frames. He had pitched both of the previous two days, so the Astros are sending Santa down in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Jayden Murray, who was recalled from Sugar Land.

Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

With top backstop Victor Caratini receiving a day off, Jackson will pick up his 10th start behind the plate since the Twins called him up from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19. Over 31 plate appearances with Minnesota, Jackson is batting .267 with one extra-base hit (a double), three runs, one RBI and a 0:11 BB:K.

Meyers is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.

Meyers is slashing only .171/.237/.286 so far in June, so he'll get a day to regroup. Taylor Trammell is handling center-field duties for the Astros.

Loperfido is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

The left-handed-hitting Loperfido had started all three games against righty hurlers since being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land last week, but he will take a seat in this one as the Tigers send right-hander Troy Melton to the hill. Loperfido is hitless in 15 plate appearance since being recalled from Sugar Land. Taylor Trammell will patrol left field for Houston in Monday's series opener.
