Robles will start in right field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Cardinals.

The right-handed-hitting Robles has started in all three of the Mariners' contests since being reinstated from a seven-game suspension, and Monday marks the second time he's faced a right-handed starter during that stretch. Robles has reached base twice in both of his first two games back from suspension and looks to have leapfrogged Dominic Canzone on the depth chart in right field.

Canzone is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Victor Robles will pick up a third straight start in right field since completing a seven-game suspension, and he's been included in the lineup twice against right-handed starting pitchers. The left-handed-hitting Canzone appears to be fading into a reserve role for the Mariners after he had mostly occupied the strong side of a platoon following his promotion from Triple-A Tacoma on June 9.

Garcia (quadriceps) went through agility drills at Globe Life Field on Monday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Garcia was placed on the 10-day injured list last week due to a right quad strain, but the Rangers remain optimistic he will be ready for activation Friday following a minimum-length absence. Alejandro Osuna, Cody Freeman, Dustin Harris and Ezequiel Duran have all seen action in right field since Garcia landed on the shelf.

Valera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Valera batted out of the two hole in the final two games of the Guardians' weekend series with the Rays, but he'll give way to Nolan Jones in right field and will hit the bench Monday. Since getting called up from Triple-A Columbus last week, Valera has gone 3-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored through his first five big-league games.

Triple-A St. Paul activated Rodriguez (oblique) from its 7-day injured list Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Rodriguez has been sidelined since late July with an oblique strain, but he's returned to St. Paul's active roster following a five-game rehab stint with Single-A Fort Myers. The 22-year-old has had yet another season curtailed by injury, as he's been limited to only 56 contests because of thumb, hip and oblique problems.

O'Neill (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a single in his first rehab game with Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday.

O'Neill played in his first game in more than a month as he works his way back from right wrist inflammation. He served as Chesapeake's designated hitter Sunday and will be eased back into the corner outfield in the coming days. O'Neill should be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list within the next week or so.

Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Soderstrom's seventh-inning homer was his first long ball since Aug. 20 in Minnesota. The 23-year-old has remained productive lately, racking up nine RBI during his seven-game hitting streak, which has included three multi-hit efforts. For the season, he's up to 24 homers, 86 RBI, 70 runs scored, eight steals and a .276/.348/.476 slash line across 143 contests.

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said that Adell was removed in the ninth inning of Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Athletics after feeling nauseous, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a home run -- his 35th of the season -- and two RBI before Matthew Lugo came on to replace him in the outfield in the top of the ninth. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener with the Twins.

Perez went 2-for-2 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

Perez is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, and this was his third multi-hit performance during the hot stretch. The 25-year-old outfielder also tallied his 38th RBI of the season Sunday, giving him a new career high in the category. Perez has already established a new career best with 12 home runs this year, and his current .816 OPS would be a new high-water mark as well, giving him plenty of momentum for the fantasy stretch run.

Buxton was removed in the bottom of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Royals due to a left knee contusion, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports. He went 1-for-2 with a solo home run prior to departing.

He also reached base in the fifth inning when he was hit in the knee by a pitch, and though Buxton was initially able to stay in the game, the Twins summoned James Outman from the bench to replace him in center field an inning later. Buxton could be subject to further testing before the Twins decide whether he'll be ready to play in Monday's series opener versus the Angels.
