Gelof went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

Gelof has gone 1-for-15 over four games since the All-Star break, but he was able to make something of his one time on the bases Monday. The second baseman started July well but is now hitting just .172 this month. He's up to 12 steals, 12 home runs, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .197/.261/.364 slash line through 80 contests overall.

Keith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

Keith continued his breakout July, tallying his sixth home run of the month in the ninth inning. Since July 3, he has seen his season batting average rise from .229 to .251, and he has 10 homers, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored and five steals across 330 plate appearances.

Frazier will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Though the versatile Frazier doesn't appear to have a permanent home at any one position, he's settled into an everyday role atop the batting order for Kansas City with MJ Melendez (ankle) landing on the injured list over the All-Star break. Frazier will serve as the Royals' table setter for the eighth straight contest, despite slashing an underwhelming .167/.259/.292 over the prior seven games.

The Astros designated Hensley for assignment Monday.

The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Aledmys Diaz, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sugar Land. After reaching the big leagues for the first time in 2022, Hensley made two starts for the Astros' World Series-winning club later that fall, but he's struggled to stick around in the majors ever since. The 28-year-old posted a lowly .380 OPS over 94 plate appearances with Houston in 2023 and had spent the entire 2024 season at Sugar Land, with whom he slashed .234/.352/.376 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases over 81 games before being designated for assignment.

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

Following his promotion from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Julien started at second base for both games of the Twins' series with the Brewers, going 1-for-4 with a pair of walks. Though he should have a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching while the Twins are without Royce Lewis (groin) and Carlos Correa (heel), the lefty-hitting Julien will likely sit frequently against left-handers. Julien will cede the keystone to Brooks Lee on Monday while the Twins take on southpaw Ranger Suarez.

Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Ace left-hander Tarik Skubal is toeing the rubber for the Tigers, so the left-handed Gimenez will receive a day off. The Guardians will go with Tyler Freeman at second base.

Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

After seeing his four-game hitting streak come to an end while also committing a costly error in the field in Sunday's 6-4 loss, Torres will head to the bench as the Yankees wrap up their series with the Rays. Oswaldo Cabrera will check in for Torres at the keystone.

Polanco went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Astros.

Polanco got going with a 394-foot solo blast to right center off Ronel Blanco in the fourth inning, extending the Mariners' lead to 3-1. He later singled in the sixth and came around to score on a three-run homer by Luke Raley. Polanco's home run was his first since May 3 and his sixth on the year. He has three multi-hit games since July 9 after having after having just two such games entering the month. It's been a struggle overall for the 30-year-old, as he's slashing .205/.291/.304 with 19 RBI, 20 runs and a 24:79 BB:K in 251 plate appearances.

Grissom (hamstring) started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Grissom played six innings in the field before being removed. He began his rehab assignment Saturday, serving as the designated hitter and going hitless in two at-bats with two walks and a stolen base. The Red Sox believe Grissom could need close to the maximum 20 days for his rehab assignment, pushing his potential return from the 10-day injured list into the second week of August.

Foscue started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-2 win over Baltimore.

Foscue made his second straight start since being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday and has gone 1-for-7 with a double and a run scored between those two contests. Both starts have come against right-handed pitching, and Foscue appears to have overtaken the lefty-hitting Travis Jankowski as the preferred option at DH.
