Frelick isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

Frelick is off to a decent start to June, hitting .292 with five RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored in six games, but he'll take a seat Monday with the Brewers set to face off against southpaw Jeffrey Springs. Jake Bauers will draw a rare start in right field in Frelick's place.

Meyers is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Meyers started all three games in center field over the weekend against the Athletics, but he'll get some rest for Monday's lid lifter versus the Halos. Taylor Trammell will get the call in center field for the Astros.

Steer is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

Steer is coming off a hitless series this past weekend in St. Louis, so he will get a breather Monday as the Reds continue their road trip. Cincinnati will go with Noelvi Marte in right field and Edwin Arroyo at second base.

Young is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

The Nationals will go with Dylan Crews in center field and James Wood in right field for the series opener. Young has had a power breakout this season with eight homer runs, though his .232/.284/.389 batting line remains lacking.

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

The left-handed-hitting Crawford will hit the bench for the ninth time in the Phillies' last 10 matchups with left-handed starting pitchers. The Phillies will go with a starting outfield of Edmundo Sosa, Brandon Marsh and Adolis Garcia from left to right while southpaw Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Blue Jays.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

The Blue Jays will spare the left-handed-hitting Sanchez from a matchup with a tough lefty in Cristopher Sanchez and give him a breather in the series opener. With Sanchez on the bench, Toronto will go with Nathan Lukes and Yohendrick Pinango as its starters in the corner outfield.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Monday that Anthony (finger) remains shut down from swinging a bat, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Anthony landed on the injured list May 7 due to what the team initially labeled as a right wrist sprain before later reclassifying the injury as a sprained ligament on the base of his right ring finger. The 22-year-old outfielder had made enough progress to resume taking dry swings in late May before being shut down when he experienced renewed soreness while trying to hit off a tee. He's remained in a holding pattern in his recovery ever since, making it increasingly likely that he'll be shelved through at least the end of the month. Anthony's ongoing absence should continue to open up a regular spot in the lineup for Masataka Yoshida when the Red Sox face right-handed pitching.

Noel was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday with left wrist inflammation, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Noel hasn't played in almost two weeks because of the injury, and he is set to miss additional time. The 24-year-old has been a disaster at Norfolk this season, slashing .121/.217/.243 with three homers and a 30 percent strikeout rate over 120 plate appearances.

DeLuca (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

DeLuca is only two weeks into a projected 6-to-8 week absence with a right hamstring strain, so he appears to be on track to return much sooner than anticipated. He was seeing regular starts in right field before getting hurt, and with Jake Fraley (hernia) out several more weeks, DeLuca should again see plenty of reps once he rejoins the active roster.

The Red Sox recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

The Red Sox are swapping in a position player in Eaton for reliever Joe La Sorsa. Eaton was with Boston for a brief period of time earlier this season but did not see any action. He's slashed .283/.348/.450 with five home runs, eight steals and an 18:45 BB:K with Worcester in 2026.
