Rengifo isn't starting Monday against Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo is getting a rare day off after he went 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games. David Fletcher will take over at the keystone and bat ninth Monday.

Kemp isn't starting Monday against the Angels.

Kemp will take a seat for a second consecutive game since left-hander Patrick Sandoval is starting for the Halos on Monday. Seth Brown is taking over in left field and batting fifth.

Torres was removed from Monday's lineup against the Rangers since he's under the weather, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Torres was scratched from the lineup just over an hour before first pitch, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench for the series opener in Texas. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of the Yankees' final two regular-season games.

Kim went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

Kim accounted for San Diego's only run in the loss with his 416-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. It was his 11th homer of the campaign and his first extra-base hit of any kind since Sept. 25. Kim has posted a .249/.322/.380 slash line along with 57 RBI, 57 runs and 11 stolen bases over 148 games in his second major-league season.

Torres was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Rangers for an undisclosed reason, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Torres was initially slated to start at the keystone and bat third Monday, but he was removed from the lineup just over an hour before the start of the game. Oswald Peraza will shift to second base while Isiah Kiner-Falefa enters the lineup at shortstop.

Arraez (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

Arraez is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, but he's dealing with a hamstring injury that will keep him on the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Matt Wallner will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh Monday.

Gonzalez isn't starting Monday against the Twins.

Gonzalez is sitting for the third time in the last four games after he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout Sunday against the Padres. Josh Harrison will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

The Athletics selected Mondou's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

He'll join the Athletics for the final three games of the season after infielder Vimael Machin (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move. A 27-year-old utility player, Mondou logged a .283/.374/.431 slash line to go with 40 extra-base hits in 449 plate appearances with Las Vegas.

Bae is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Bae has handled a near-everyday role since his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 23 and has picked up starts at three different positions. Though he's on the bench Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if he picked up starts in the Pirates' final two games of the season.

Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Rosario is on the bench for the second time in four days, but Guardians manager Terry Francona hasn't suggested that the 26-year-old is dealing with an injury or in danger of losing his everyday role. Unless the Guardians provide an update to the contrary, consider Monday's absence from the lineup another routine maintenance day for Rosario, who has produced an .813 OPS over his last 17 games.
