Grisham (hamstring) exited Monday's contest against Toronto due to left hamstring tightness, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Grisham likely suffered the injury while on base in the fourth inning after he led off the frame with a single. The outfielder can be considered day-to-day for the time being until the Yankees release any further information on his status. In the meantime, Jasson Dominguez took over in center field Monday, and he'd stand to fill that role in Grisham's place moving forward if Grisham is sidelined for any additional action.

Grisham (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest against the Blue Jays in the bottom of the fifth inning, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Grisham was replaced in center field by Jasson Dominguez to open the bottom of the fifth, and it's unclear what forced Grisham to leave the game. The outfielder finished his day 1-for-2 with a single and run scored, potentially suffering an injury on a pick-off attempt by Max Scherzer in the top of the fourth.

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

The left-handed-hitting Raley has gotten on base at a .364 clip and has provided three extra-base hits in eight games since returning from the injured list, but he'll nonetheless hit the bench for the second time in the Mariners' last five matchups with a right-handed pitcher (Michael Wacha). Raley still looks to be in good position to hold down a strong-side platoon role for the long haul, but he'll give way at first base Monday to Donovan Solano, who has made it difficult on the Mariners to take his bat out of the lineup. Since June 8, Solano has hit safely in 11 of 14 games while slashing .413/.449/.630 overall.

O'Neill (shoulder) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, and he could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Orioles' current road trip, which ends Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

O'Neill is making steady progress in his recovery from a lingering left shoulder injury after he sustained a setback in early June. Assuming all goes well with Norfolk, O'Neill should be back with the Orioles sometime this week. Since starting back up his rehab assignment June 22, O'Neill is 4-for-18 (.222) with a home run and nine strikeouts across six games.

The Rangers expect Carter (personal) to rejoin the team Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Carter left the team in order to attend his grandfather's funeral. He has not been placed on the bereavement list, so the Rangers will play a man short for two games. Michael Helman is in center field for Texas on Monday.

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

With the Orioles sending lefty Trevor Rogers to the hill for the series opener, the left-handed-hitting Osuna will head to the bench. Osuna had started in each of the Rangers' last five matchups with right-handed pitchers, and he looks poised to hold down a strong-side platoon role in the Texas outfield until one of Wyatt Langford (oblique) or Jake Burger (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Clase will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Yankees.

Clase had been on track to open Monday's contest in a reserve role, but he'll end up starting as a result of the lineup reshuffling that was created by Bo Bichette (knee) being scratched. The 23-year-old will pick up his fourth start in five games, but he'll likely see his opportunities dwindle once one or both of Daulton Varsho (hamstring) or Anthony Santander (shoulder) return from the injured list.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Monday that Thomas will be used primarily as a pinch hitter against left-handed relievers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Thomas was called up Monday from Triple-A Las Vegas, but he looks set to operate as a fourth outfielder for the time being. Kotsay suggested that Thomas will have a chance to play his way into additional playing time, but fantasy managers should have low expectations for the rookie in the immediate future.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Langford (oblique) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list Saturday when first eligible, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy told McFarland that Langford will likely head out on a rehab assignment later this week, and if all goes well, the 23-year-old outfielder will rejoin the big club this weekend. Langford is slashing a disappointing .232/.308/.421 for the Rangers this season and has been on the IL twice due to oblique injuries.

Carter won't be available for Monday's game against the Orioles while he tends to a personal matter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles are starting left-hander Trevor Rogers in the series opener, so the left-handed-hitting Carter likely would have been out of the lineup even if he was with the team. The Rangers haven't indicated whether Carter will rejoin the team Tuesday. Michael Helman will get the nod in center field Monday.
