Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

With the Rangers facing a lefty starter (Jacob Lopez) for the second straight game, the left-handed-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench. Until Jake Burger (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, Tellez could be in store for at least a semi-regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching at either first base or designated hitter.

Freeman (wrist) is starting at first base and batting fourth against the Twins on Monday.

Freeman exited in the sixth inning of Sunday's loss to the Brewers after he was hit by a pitch. He's avoided a serious injury and won't need to miss any additional action. Freeman is slashing .292/.365/.471 with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 47 runs scored, one stolen base and a 35:84 BB:K across 367 trips to the plate this season. He also leads the league with 26 doubles.

Schanuel (wrist) will start at first base and bat second in Monday's game against the Mets.

After exiting early in the Angels' 8-2 win over the Phillies when he was struck by a pitch in the left wrist, Schanuel was diagnosed with nothing more than a bruise when X-rays came back negative. He appears to have responded well to treatment and will return to his usual spot in the infield as the Angels kick off a three-game set in Queens.

Kemp will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

After going 3-for-7 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while starting at the hot corner in both of the final two games of the Phillies' weekend series with the Angels, Kemp will remain in the lineup Monday. The rookie looks set to see the bulk of the playing time at third base while Alec Bohm is on the shelf due to a fractured left rib.

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

Though he started in three of Boston's last four games, Gonzalez may not be a regular presence in the lineup against right-handed pitching moving forward with the Red Sox having recently gotten Masataka Yoshida and Alex Bregman back from the injured list. Gonzalez should continue to play frequently versus lefties, whom he's battered to the tune of a .389/.444/.708 slash line over 81 plate appearances in 2025.

The Rangers optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Foscue made one start during his brief stint in the majors and will now head back to Round Rock. He is just 3-for-51 at the plate during his time with the big club dating back to the start of last season.

Smith is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Atlanta.

Smith has been serving as the Giants' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching, but he will take a seat in Monday's series opener. Wilmer Flores will draw the start at first base and bat seventh for San Francisco while Atlanta sends righty Bryce Elder to the hill.

Wagaman is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Padres.

Wagaman had started each of the previous two games, but he'll hit the bench for the third time in four matchups versus a right-handed starting pitcher. Liam Hicks will get the nod at first base and will bat sixth for Miami.

Alonso (hand) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Angels.

Alonso didn't start in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Reds after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Saturday. However, he was able to enter Sunday's contest as a defensive replacement and is back in the Mets lineup for Monday's series opener.

Alonso (hand) is expected to return to the starting lineup Monday against the Angels, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The first baseman entered Sunday's win over the Reds in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement for Mark Vientos to keep his club-record consecutive games streak alive, and Alonso's hand contusion was never viewed by the Mets as a serious concern. The brief time off may end up doing the slugger some good, however -- through 62 plate appearances in July, Alonso's slashing just .176/.306/.392, although he does have three homers and 12 RBI.
