Monasterio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Monasterio will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with each of his absences coming while Boston has faced right-handed starting pitchers. Though Monasterio appeared to have temporarily taken over as the preferred shortstop when Trevor Story (sports hernia) landed on the injured list last weekend, interim manager Chad Tracy recently said that Marcelo Mayer will become the primary option at the position. Monasterio will vie with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard for playing time at second base while Mayer is occupying shortstop.
