Beavers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Beavers will retreat to the bench while the Orioles face off against lefty Ryan Weathers in the series opener. Tyler O'Neill will step in for Beavers in right field and will bat fifth.

Vilade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Vilade will retreat to the bench after he had started in each of the last four games, going a collective 2-for-11 with one walk. All of those starts came versus left-handed pitching, but the Rays have yet to show much inclination to give Vilade a full run of playing time against righties.

Meyers (oblique) is slated to begin a rehab assignment this week, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's not clear when or where exactly his rehab assignment will get kicked off, but it will be Meyers' first game action in more than a month, as he's been shelved by a Grade 2 right oblique strain. The Astros have been using Brice Matthews and Zach Cole in center field lately, but Meyers could reclaim his spot at the top of the depth chart once he's deemed ready for activation.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Lowe will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Angels face another lefty starter (Joey Cantillo) to begin their three-game set in Cleveland. Bryce Teodosio will cover left field in place of Lowe, who has gone 1-for-15 with zero walks and five strikeouts against southpaws on the season.

The Blue Jays recalled Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

After being optioned to Buffalo on Saturday, Pinango will make his way back to Toronto just two days later with Addison Barger (elbow) going back on the injured list with a new health concern. Before his recent demotion, Pinango fared well in his first taste of the big leagues, slashing .423/.444/.462 over 27 plate appearances. The Blue Jays will likely turn to Pinango to fill the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield while Barger and Nathan Lukes (hamstring) are on the shelf.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Rodriguez (thumb) on the 7-day injured list May 6.

Rodriguez suffered a muscle strain in his thumb and has not played since May 1. He has slashed .247/.417/.506 with six home runs, three steals, a 21.3 percent walk rate and a 28.7 percent strikeout rate in 25 games for the Saints.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Sunday.

Judge put New York ahead early with a solo blast to right field in the first inning. It was his fourth homer through 10 games so far in May and his 16th overall this season, tied with Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead. Judge also ranks third in the league in OPS (1.043), is tied for sixth in RBI (30) and ranks sixth in walks (32).

The Athletics are expected to call up Bolte from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

With shortstop Jacob Wilson suffering a shoulder sprain in Sunday's loss to the Orioles that could send him to the injured list, Bolte looks like he could end up being promoted in a corresponding move to fill the open roster spot. Though he won't be a potential replacement option at shortstop for Wilson, Bolte could push the struggling Lawrence Butler (.560 OPS in 133 plate appearances) for regular playing time in the outfield. The 22-year-old Bolte has been one of the Pacific Coast League's hottest hitters through the first month and a half of the season, slashing .348/.418/.658 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 177 plate appearances.

Vierling went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Kansas City.

Vierling's lone hit was an impactful one, as he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off the wall in the second inning, advancing to third base on a Kyle Isbel error. Over the past seven games, Vierling has tallied four extra-base hits. His season numbers remain pedestrian, however, as he is slashing .217/.282/.380 with two homers, 17 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 33 games.

Carter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

Carter gave the Rangers breathing room with his eighth-inning homer, the second in five games and fifth of the season for the outfielder. All five of his homers have come against right-handers, as the left-handed batter has just one single in 23 at-bats when facing a lefty. If there's any fantasy value to be had from Carter, who's slashing .176/.308/.653, it's his six steals through 39 games.
