Taylor Trammell CF | HOU
Astros' Taylor Trammell: Taking seat Monday
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.

LaMonte Wade Jr. LF | HOU
Astros' LaMonte Wade: Drawing third straight start
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.

Victor Mesa Jr. RF | TB
Rays' Victor Mesa: Taking seat Monday
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.

Kyle Isbel CF | KC
Royals' Kyle Isbel: Rehab assignment delayed
Isbel will not begin a rehab assignment Tuesday as hoped after feeling soreness in his left foot while running this past weekend, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Isbel has been sidelined for nearly a month after being diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fascia. He had aimed to play a handful of rehab games before returning to the Royals' active roster after the All-Star break, but now Isbel will be re-evaluated before next steps are determined. With Isbel's status unclear, Lane Thomas will get more run in center field for Kansas City.

Isaac Collins LF | KC
Royals' Isaac Collins: Absent from lineup
Collins is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Phillies.
Collins will get a routine breather after starting the last three and nine of the last 10 games. Starling Marte will occupy left field and bat sixth in Monday's rubber match.

Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX
Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Logs RBI in loss
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Detroit.
Nimmo's fourth-inning single produced the Rangers' second run and was his first hit since returning from a shoulder injury. Prior to the injury, Nimmo was on a roll, having gone 17-for-57 (.298) with five walks, nine extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs scored over 14 games.

Chase DeLauter RF | CLE
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Snaps homer drought
DeLauter went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the White Sox.
DeLauter got swept up in a slugfest, as the two teams combined to go deep five times. He belted a two-run shot in the first inning to erase Chicago's early lead. It was DeLauter's eighth home run of the season and first since May 17, a span of 30 games. Since being activated off the injured list in late June, the 24-year-old outfielder is batting .333 (12-for-36) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI, one steal (caught once) and five runs scored over eight contests.

Lazaro Montes RF | SEA
Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Moving up to Triple-A
The Mariners promoted Montes from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Montes slashed .234/.369/.550 with 25 home runs at Arkansas, which included a 1.199 OPS in June. Contact remains an issue, as the hulking slugger has struck out at a 30.4 percent clip in 2026, but he has some of the best power of any minor-league hitter and has a chance to reach the majors before the end of this season.

Tyler Soderstrom LF | ATH
Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Will sit through All-Star break
Soderstrom (hip) hasn't resumed baseball activities since landing on the 10-day injured list June 29 and will remain out through the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
The Athletics likely won't have a more precise target date for Soderstrom's return until the discomfort in his right hip has subsided enough for him to take part in full hitting and fielding drills. While Soderstrom is on the shelf, Carlos Cortes and Colby Thomas could end up forming a platoon in left field, though Zack Gelof may also get some looks at the position if the Athletics are keen on opening up more opportunities in the infield for the likes of Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Alika Williams and Max Muncy.

Jo Adell RF | CLE
Angels' Jo Adell: Tallies three hits in loss
Adell went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Adell tallied three singles, with his knocks in the first and eighth innings each plating a run. It was a much-needed performance for the right fielder, who entered Sunday's game 0-for-13 over his previous four contests. After launching 37 homers last season, the 27-year-old hasn't been able to replicate that power production in 2026, slashing .245/.290/.387 with 11 homers, 47 RBI, 39 runs and three stolen bases through 90 games.
