Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and designated as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Mathias will remain with the Brewers for Monday's doubleheader but return to Triple-A Nashville following Game 2. Since having his contract selected by the team May 24, he's appeared in one game, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. Mathias will provide an extra bat off the bench for Monday's two contests.

Julien has been activated from the injured list at Double-A Wichita.

He had an undisclosed injury. He's hitting .284 with a.849 OPS with a home run in 24 games. Julien has more walks than strikeouts as he's shown great command of the strike zone (23.7% walk rate).

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Nationals.

Rodgers recorded his 19th RBI of the season on an infield single in the eighth inning. The performance continued a strong stretch for Rodgers, as he's hit .344 with 18 RBI and 15 runs scored across 23 games in May. Since beginning the campaign in miserable fashion, Rodgers has raised his line to .250/.292/.347 in 153 plate appearances.

Ibanez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Atheltics.

Ibanez is emerging from a three-week slump and has hit safely in three straight games, going 6-for-9 with two doubles, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored over the last three. The 29-year-old infielder, who posted a .277 average in 76 games during his MLB debut in 2021, is up to .214 through 37 contests this season. Ibanez's expected outcome for average is slightly higher than his real-world results.

Mendick went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Sunday against the Cubs.

Mendick entered the game at shortstop and served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter once Tim Anderson (groin) was forced from the game. While Anderson is expected to hit the injured list, Leury Garcia (side) is day-to-day. If both Anderson and Garcia remain out, Mendick is likely to serve as the team's primary shortstop.

Arroyo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout during Sunday's 12-2 win over Baltimore.

Arroyo had sporadic playing time in early May, but he's now started in four of the last five matchups. The 26-year-old has earned his uptick in at-bats by driving in runs during five of his last six games. During that time, Arroyo has hit .250 with two homers, a double, five RBI and three runs. While he should continue to serve as a utility man, his defensive versatility gives him a chance to remain in the lineup while he's swinging a hot bat.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

Semien contributed an RBI single in the fifth inning to stretch the Rangers' lead to 4-0. They fell behind, but 31-year-old helped them tie the game again with some heads-up baserunning in the ninth. He stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch, though the A's ultimately walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. Semien has shown some life at the plate lately, going 16-for-56 (.286) in 14 games since May 15. Despite the uptick, he's still sporting a mediocre .196/.258/.268 slash line with one home run, 17 RBi, 19 runs scored and six steals through 45 contests.

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The Phillies handed Stott three consecutive starts from Wednesday through Friday, but the rookie went 0-for-9 over those contest to squander any hope he had of wresting the shortstop job from Johan Camargo while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the shelf. Now slashing a lowly .114/.173/.129 through his first 75 plate appearances in the majors, Stott finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row.

Guillorme will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With top second baseman Jeff McNeil (legs) getting the day off and regular table setter Brandon Nimmo (wrist) on the bench, Guillorme will man the keystone and handle leadoff duties for the second game in a row. Guillorme got the job done atop the lineup in Saturday's 8-2 win, as he went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs.

Torres went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in a 4-2 loss Sunday in Tampa Bay.

Torres got the scoring started with a leadoff homer in the second inning off Shane McClanahan. He added two singles and a steal of third base. It was his first three-hit game of the season. The home run was his ninth, matching his total from last season, and fourth in his last six contests. It was just his first stolen base attempt of the season after he swiped a career-best 14 bags a year ago.
