Osuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Since being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, the left-handed-hitting Osuna has drawn starts in three of the Rangers' ensuing six games. Two of Osuna's three absences have come against left-handed pitching, so the 23-year-old looks like he could be deployed in the strong side of a platoon in left field with either Sam Haggerty or Ezequiel Duran until Wyatt Langford (forearm) is ready to return from the injured list.

Dominguez will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Rangers.

Dominguez is slotting in at DH in place of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf). The Yankees have resisted placing Stanton on the injured list for now, with the hope that he will be able to return to action at some point this week. Dominguez should play regularly for as long as Stanton is sidelined. The former has slashed .326/.415/.478 with three home runs, eight stolen bases and a 13:16 BB:K at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Raley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Raley will hit the bench for the third time in six games, with each of his absences coming while the Mariners have faced left-handed starting pitchers. He'll cede his spot in the lineup Monday to Rob Refsnyder, who starts in right field and occupies the leadoff spot while Seattle faces off against southpaw Connor Prielipp.

Canzone is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Canzone will hit the bench for the third time in six games, with each of his absences coming while the Mariners have faced left-handed starting pitchers. He'll cede his spot in the lineup Monday to Mitch Garver, who starts at catcher while Cal Raleigh serves as Seattle's designated hitter.

Teodosio will start in left field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Teodosio will be included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, but all of those starts have come against left-handed pitching. He'll likely be stuck in the short side of a platoon in the Los Angeles outfield so long as Josh Lowe is healthy.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Lowe will take a seat for the fifth time in six games, with each of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. In an effort to optimize Lowe's production, the Angels seem content to continue deploying the left-handed-hitting outfielder in the strong side of a platoon with Bryce Teodosio.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Springer (toe) is nearing a return and will not require a rehab assignment, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Springer ran the bases and hit on the field Monday at Rogers Centre and will do the same thing Tuesday. As long as he comes out of that workout with no setbacks, his activation from the 10-day injured list will be imminent. Springer has been sidelined for the last two-plus weeks with a fractured left big toe.

Peters will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Angels.

Peters has now started in six straight matchups versus right-handed pitchers and appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon in center field with Luisangel Acuna. Over the past week, Peters went 7-for-17 with a triple, a stolen base, an RBI and a run.

Varsho is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Varsho doesn't always sit against left-handed pitching, but he'll hit the bench for the series opener while the Red Sox send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump. Myles Straw will fill in for Varsho in center field and will bat leadoff.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Palacios will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two absences coming against right-handed starters and the other two coming against lefties. He had previously been occupying the strong side of a platoon at second base with Ben Williamson, but the left-handed-hitting Palacios may be in line for only a part-time role against righties while Williamson has been productive at the dish of late. Both Williamson and Palacios are likely to see their playing time at the keystone take a hit once Gavin Lux (shoulder/ankle) is deemed ready to return from the 15-day injured list.
