The Yankees activated Judge (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Judge looks set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Rockies, marking the 34-year-old's first game action since May 31. He landed on the injured list five days later after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in a rib on his right side. Judge faced live pitching Monday at Yankee Stadium, and with the workout going well, New York has elected to reinstate him without sending him out on a rehab assignment beforehand. Prior to hitting the shelf, Judge slashed .248/.375/.533 with 17 home runs, five stolen bases, 38 RBI and 43 runs scored across 261 plate appearances.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Greene connected for his 19th home run of the season in the fifth inning to help extend Detroit's lead to 5-2. The talented outfielder is heating up, as he's gone 9-for-13 over his last three games with three long balls and eight RBI. Greene isn't going to match last year's 36 homers or 111 RBI, but he remains a productive fantasy asset whenever he's in the lineup for the Tigers.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers. He also stole two bases.

Crow-Armstrong wasted no time building on his first 40-homer campaign as he went deep for the second straight day and recorded his 41st long ball of the year. The superstar outfielder also swiped multiple bases for the sixth time this season, which got him to 35 steals overall to tie his career best. Crow-Armstrong is potentially closing in on just the seventh 40-40 campaign in MLB history, and he remains an elite fantasy option capable of producing in every offensive category.

Clarke is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Clarke started the first two games upon his activation from the injured list last week, but since then he's been in the lineup only once in the Athletics' last five contests. Henry Bolte is in center field Monday, and it seems Clarke is slated for a secondary role down the stretch.

Pages (hand) began hitting off a tee over the weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's the beginning of a hitting progression for Pages, who is working his way back from a fractured left hand. Pages is just over two weeks into a projected 4-to-5 week absence, and he would appear to have a chance to be back closer to the front end of that timeline. Tommy Edman has moved to center field for the Dodgers to cover for the absence of Pages, with Alex Freeland and Miguel Rojas slotting in at second base.

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

It's right-hander Michael McGreevy on the bump for the Cardinals, but the left-handed-hitting Gilbert will begin the game on the bench. Jonah Cox will patrol center field and will bat cleanup for the Giants.

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

Callahan will exit the starting nine after he struck out in all four of his at-bats during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians, bringing his slash line down to .231/.279/.385 through his first 43 plate appearances in the big leagues. Now on the bench for the fifth time in seven games, Callahan appears to have faded into a reserve role following Riley Greene's recent return from the injured list.

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

Malgeri will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the Tigers' last four games -- three against left-handers, one against a righty -- while going 4-for-14 with a double, two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and one run. The 26-year-old has maintained a respectable .732 OPS over his first 108 plate appearances in the big leagues, but he appears unlikely to break out of his short-side platoon role in the outfield anytime soon.

Frelick is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

The Brewers will send the left-handed-hitting Frelick to the bench while the Cubs start southpaw Matthew Boyd in the series opener. After being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Aug. 25, Frelick started in seven of the Brewers' ensuing 13 games and slashed .212/.278/.303 with three RBI and three runs.

White will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Angels.

White will draw a fifth straight start in center field and looks set to handle a regular role at the position for as long as Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) remains on the injured list. Since being acquired from Atlanta on Aug. 3, White has produced a .280/.308/.400 slash line with one home run, one stolen base, 11 RBI and 10 runs across 52 plate appearances with Boston.
