Massey went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Massey contributed offensively, opening the scoring with a two-run single in the first inning as part of a three-hit performance. The 28-year-old's steal of second base in the third frame marked his second swipe of the season and first since May 2. It has been a standout June for the second baseman, as he's hitting .323/.333/.516 with three homers, three doubles, 12 RBI and nine runs scored across 17 appearances this month.

Sosa (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Sosa will be making his first appearance in a game in nearly a month while he works his way back from a right wrist contusion. Over 40 games this season between the White Sox and Blue Jays, Sosa has slashed .195/.207/.283 with one home run and a 1:25 BB:K. He doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so Sosa will likely be added back to the Blue Jays' active roster once he's activated from the 10-day injured list.

Lopez went 2-for-2 with two runs scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

Lopez singled and scored runs in the third and fourth innings. He made a third consecutive start at second base and hit safely in his last four appearances. Lopez is slashing .333/.367/.404 with one home run, five RBI, two steals in six runs scored over 20 games since singing with Texas as a free agent late in May. With Josh Smith having been optioned, second base is wide open for the left-handed hitting Lopez.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases against Cincinnati in a loss Sunday.

New York racked up six thefts as a team Sunday, but none of the base stealers ended up scoring. Chisholm's stolen bases were his eighth and ninth through 17 contests in June, and he's now up to 23 on the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass his career-best mark of 40 steals, which he established in the 2024 regular season. Chisholm has complemented his work on the basepaths with 11 homers, and he's one of four major leaguers so far with at least 10 long balls and 20 thefts on the campaign.

Monasterio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Monasterio will be on the bench for a second straight game while the Red Sox give Anthony Seigler another turn at second base. Boston went with Monasterio at the keystone in each of the three games before that, with the 29-year-old going 2-for-10 with four strikeouts in those contests. Monasterio and Seigler could work in a timeshare at the position while the Red Sox are without all of Trevor Story (sports hernia), Romy Gonzalez (shoulder/hip), Nick Sogard (oblique) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm).

McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The left-handed-hitting McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale while the Athletics face off against Angels lefty Reid Detmers. McNeil had started in each of the Athletics' previous seven games, going 5-for-18 (.278 average) with one home run, one double, two walks, four RBI and four runs.

Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Peraza is on the bench for a second straight game while the Angels go up against another right-handed starter (Jack Perkins). Though the right-handed-hitting Peraza should remain a mainstay in the lineup versus lefties, playing time against same-handed pitching could prove to be more elusive after the Angels recently returned Vaughn Grissom from the injured list and called up Christian Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Lopez will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Lopez will remain in the starting nine for a third straight game after he went 2-for-7 over the first two contests of the series. The 31-year-old journeyman could be in store for a regular role until Texas gets Corey Seager (concussion) back from the 7-day injured list.

Holliday (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Holliday will miss out at least one start after he was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-2 win due to groin tightness, though he said that he's not overly concerned about the injury and thinks that he could play off the bench Sunday if needed, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Jeremiah Jackson came on the replace him Saturday and will draw the start at second base in Holliday's stead in the series finale.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

With left-hander Andrew Alvarez on the bump for the Nationals, Palacios will give way to platoon mate Ben Williamson at second base in the series finale. Palacios has logged just 26 plate appearances versus lefties on the season, slashing .250/.308/.333 in those matchups.
