Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) will resume a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Gonzalez has been out all season following left shoulder surgery, and he had to have his rehab assignment paused over the weekend due to a sore left hip flexor. He is feeling well enough to return to action Tuesday, and Gonzalez could rejoin Boston's active roster before the end of June.

Holliday (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Holliday will miss a second straight start as he deals with groin tightness. He is considered day-to-day for the time being. Jeremiah Jackson will again cover second base in Holliday's stead.

Freeland is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Freeland had started in 15 of the Dodgers' last 18 games, but he's likely to slip into more of a part-time role following the recent return of Tommy Edman, who returned from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. After starting in left field twice and at third base once over his first four games since being activated, Edman will cover Freeland's usual spot at the keystone Monday. Freeland hasn't helped his case for retaining steady playing time by producing a modest .218/.323/.309 slash line since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 27.

The Angels designated Madrigal for assignment Monday.

With the Angels welcoming Jorge Soler (oblique) back from the 10-day injured list, Madrigal ended up being a casualty of the 40-man roster. Following his May 27 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake, the 29-year-old infielder slashed .273/.385/.295 with zero home runs, one stolen base, seven runs and two RBI over 52 plate appearances. If Madrigal isn't traded or claimed off waivers, he'll have the option of electing free agency if he doesn't wish to stick around in the Angels organization as a member of the Triple-A roster.

The Blue Jays selected Urias' contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Urias was acquired via trade from the Diamondbacks over the weekend after putting up a .939 OPS in 27 games at Triple-A Reno. The 29-year-old will operate as a reserve infielder for the Blue Jays.

Arroyo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

The Reds will go with Spencer Steer and Matt McLain as their starters in the middle infield while Arroyo retreats to the bench for the series opener. Since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has struggled to produce in a near-everyday role, slashing .240/.304/.280 with zero home runs or stolen bases across 56 plate appearances. With Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) expected to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Arroyo could wind up heading back to Louisville in a corresponding move.

Loftin will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rays.

Loftin will remain in the lineup for a seventh straight game after going 7-for-22 with one home run, four doubles, three walks, four RBI and two runs across the prior six contests. He's been the main beneficiary of Maikel Garcia (hand) and Bobby Witt (knee) both having missed time over the past week, but Loftin's opportunities could dry up if Witt avoids a stint on the injured list. Garcia already seems to be past his hand injury, as he'll cover shortstop Monday in place of Witt for a second straight game.

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.

Arraez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins.

Arraez delivered San Francisco's only extra-base hit in the contest with a third-inning double before coming around to score. The 29-year-old has recorded at least one hit in all but two of his 18 outings in June, during which he's batting .316 with 11 runs scored, seven RBI, one home run and one stolen base in 86 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .320/.357/.444 with 40 runs scored, 30 RBI, six stolen bases and three long balls across 330 plate appearances this season.
