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.

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.

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

The Phillies will spare the left-handed-hitting Rincones from a matchup with a lefty starter (Noah Cameron) and will send him to the bench for the series finale in Kansas City. Edmundo Sosa will pick up a start in the corner outfield in place of the 25-year-old rookie, who is slashing .196/.222/.353 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs across 54 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 12.

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

As per usual, the left-handed-hitting Crawford will hit the bench while the Phillies face off against a lefty starter (Noah Cameron) in the series finale in Kansas City. Derek Hill will fill in for Crawford in center field and will bat ninth.

Crews went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's loss to the Pirates.

Getting another start in center field in place of Jacob Young (hand), Crews took Gregory Soto deep in the eighth inning for the Nationals' final run in an 11-5 loss, and his sixth long ball of the season. Crews snapped a 13-game power drought with the blast, but he's remained somewhat productive during that time. Over his last 15 contests, the 24-year-old sports a .310/.385/.466 slash line with three doubles, two homers, three steals, four RBI and 12 runs.

Ewing went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

The rookie center fielder took Martin Perez deep in the second inning, Ewing's fifth homer of the season and third in the last 11 games -- a stretch in which he's delivered a .314/.400/.600 slash line with a double, six runs and seven RBI. He's also stolen a base but has been caught stealing three times in that span, leaving him with a shaky 8-for-14 showing on the basepaths since his mid-May promotion.

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.

Dubon went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.

All three knocks were singles, and Dubon has hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, producing a .367/.436/.571 slash line with two homers, one steal, six RBI and 12 runs over that stretch. The veteran utility player has started six straight contests in left field, and that might be his regular defensive home until Ronald Acuna (hamstring) returns after the All-Star break.

Cho has launched seven home runs in 10 games since being promoted to Double-A Springfield.

Cho fell off the prospect radar after putting up a sub-.700 OPS over the last two seasons, but he's bounced back in a major way in 2026, slashing .271/.388/.546 with 15 home runs and 23 stolen bases between High-A Peoria and Springfield. The 15 long balls for Cho more than double his previous career high of seven. Cho -- who turns 23 in August -- has split time between all three outfield spots this season but profiles best in a corner.

Harris went 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

The center fielder produced his third straight game with multiple hits and multiple RBI, a surge in which he's gone 7-for-14 with two homers, five runs and seven RBI. Harris is already just four home runs shy of the career-high 20 he set in 2025, while his .840 OPS on the year is a hair shy of the career-best .853 mark he posted as a rookie in 2022.
