Serrano (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Serrano ended up missing just over 10 weeks after picking up a shoulder strain in mid June. He reported to Double-A Binghamton following his activation and is 5-for-20 with two home runs and five RBI in five games since his return.

Hassell (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games for Triple-A Indianapolis since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

The 25-year-old outfielder has spent time at three levels since joining the Pirates organization in a July 16 trade, slashing .256/.373/.326 with three stolen bases over 12 contests.

Schneemann will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Guardians Prospective reports.

Schneemann was optioned to the minors July 24 but has impressed at the dish since the demotion, slashing .326/.457/.533 with three home runs, 10 RBI, four stolen bases and 32 runs over 25 games. He'll serve in a utility role for Cleveland and has started at six different positions this season in the big leagues, primarily manning third base and center field.

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

The Rockies will keep Carrigg on the bench for a second straight game while he's fallen into a lull at the plate, producing a weak .154/.228/.288 slash line with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate over the past two weeks. With Carrigg and Zac Veen both sitting, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Jordan Beck, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right.

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

The left-handed-hitting Veen will be relegated to the bench for the third game in a row, with two of those absences coming against left-handed pitching. Since getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 11, Veen has posted a strong .791 OPS, though he's struck out in 13 of his 34 plate appearances (38.2 percent).

Manager Aaron Boone stated Monday that Judge (ribs) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during the Yankees' upcoming homestand, which runs from Sept. 8 - Sept. 13, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Boone isn't yet ready to commit to a firm date for Judge's return, but it's a positive development that he's inching closer. The slugger was cleared to begin a hitting progression almost two weeks ago and has more recently advanced to hitting in the batting cage. A more exact timetable for Judge's return could become more clear over the next week.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Though he'll be on the bench while the White Sox send southpaw Anthony Kay to the hill for the series opener, the left-handed-hitting Trammell appears to have usurped LaMonte Wade in the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield. Trammell cracked the lineup for each of the Astros' last five matchups with right-handed starters, but he went just 1-for-15 with a 1:2 BB:K during that stretch.

Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Carter will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw Gage Jump to the hill for the series opener. Ezequiel Duran will replace Carter in center field and will bat leadoff.

Gurriel (thigh) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Gurriel has been out on a rehab stint since Aug. 18, and while it hasn't been pretty, he's logged eight games in the minors without any health issues. The 32-year-old is hitting .107 with three RBI and one run scored during this most recent rehab stint. It remains to be seen how Gurriel will slot into the big-league lineup following his return, though he figures to see somewhat regular at-bats between left field and the DH slot.

Conine is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Marlins will keep the left-handed-hitting Conine on the bench for the second day in a row while the Nationals send another lefty (Will Dion) to the bump for the series finale. Agustin Ramirez will replace Conine in the lineup at designated hitter.
