  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Sitting against righty

    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.

  • Brett Callahan LF | DET

    Tigers' Brett Callahan: Losing out on playing time

    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.

  • Ben Malgeri RF | DET

    Tigers' Ben Malgeri: Back on bench after four straight starts

    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.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Hitting bench against lefty

    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.

  • Eli White CF | BOS

    Red Sox's Eli White: Filling in for Rafaela

    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.

  • Leody Taveras CF | BAL

    Orioles' Leody Taveras: Hitting bench Monday

    Taveras is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Taveras will hit the bench for the third time in six games as the Orioles kick off a three-game set against the Guardians. Even though Luis Robert's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list has eased the logjam in the Baltimore outfield a bit, Taveras could still be in store for a part-time role if the Orioles elect to prioritize Blaze Alexander in right field ahead of him.

  • Colton Cowser CF | BAL

    Orioles' Colton Cowser: Left out of lineup Monday

    Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox while lefty Payton Tolle started for the opposition, the left-handed-hitting Cowser will be held out of the lineup while the Orioles face a second consecutive lefty starter (Joey Cantillo). Rece Hinds will take Cowser's spot in center field and will bat eighth.

  • Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: On bench for series finale

    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

    Yastrzemski will sit for the third time in Atlanta's four-game series with Philadelphia, with two of those absences having come against left-handed pitching. Since the All-Star break, Yastrzemski has turned in a lackluster .214/.287/.393 line over 37 games, and his underwhelming production could put him in danger of losing his strong-side platoon role and becoming more of a part-time player versus right-handed pitching.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Not starting Monday, but improving

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that DeLauter (wrist), who is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Orioles, is "feeling a lot better" and will do some hitting pregame, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Vogt reiterated that he considers DeLauter's sprained right wrist a "day-to-day" situation that isn't going to force him to the injured list. Though Angel Martinez will get the nod in right field in the series opener, DeLauter could be back in the lineup Tuesday if he doesn't experience any setbacks following his workout Monday.

  • Tyler O'Neill RF | BAL

    Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Set to miss additional time

    Manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that O'Neill's shoulder isn't responding to rehab the way they'd hoped, and he's dealing with a "significant" injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    O'Neill was eligible to come off the 10-day injured list this week, but that isn't going to happen, as he'll miss more time with his strained right rotator cuff. The 31-year-old has had an injury-marred two seasons in Baltimore. After appearing in just 54 games last season, O'Neill has been limited to 85 appearances in 2026. He has a miserable .206/.296/.383 slash line across 139 career games with the Orioles.
