Rojas went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Monday against the Mets.

Rojas has maintained a near everyday role for the White Sox at a combination of second and third base since being activated from the injured list May 4. He managed his second stolen base of the season Monday, though he still has only one hit across his last 18 at-bats -- spanning eight games. Rojas has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate overall by hitting just .140 with no extra-base hits across 57 plate appearances, and his strikeout rate has notably surged to 33.3 percent.

Rengifo is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Yankees on Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rengifo -- who went 2-for-10 with an RBI during the Angels' three-game weekend series against the Marlins -- will begin Monday's game in the dugout while Kevin Newman starts at second base and bats ninth. Rengifo has a .472 OPS with one steal and four RBI in 66 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Westburg (hamstring) will report to Triple-A Norfolk and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Westburg suffered a setback earlier this month and briefly paused his running progression, but he's moved past the issue and is ready to begin playing in minor-league games. Because Westburg has been out of action for the past month, he could need a handful of games in the minors to knock off some rust and prove that his hamstring can hold up defensively at third base when he plays on consecutive days.

Mayer started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Baltimore.

Mayer, who went hitless in four at-bats during his MLB debut Saturday, picked up his first hit in the majors on his first at-bat of the day. The left-handed hitter singled to the opposite field. He later pulled a double in the eighth inning and scored his first MLB run. With the Red Sox describing Alex Bregman's quadriceps injury as "significant" and "pretty severely strained," Mayer is line for regular turns at third base.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

Vargas put the White Sox on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and then doubled and scored in the sixth. The 25-year-old has been swinging a hot bat lately, tallying five multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games while racking up nine extra-base hits, eight RBI and six runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .239/.316/.418 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and one steal across 206 plate appearances.

Bride will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Bride has picked up starts in four of the Twins' last five games, but he still looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role. Three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, and his chances of earning playing time versus righties will take even more of a hit once the likes of Matt Wallner (hamstring) and Byron Buxton (concussion) return from the injured list.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Rojas had started each of the last six games while the White Sox opposed right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Rangers. Rojas' move to the bench will open up a spot in the lineup for Vinny Capra, who will start at shortstop.

Mayer went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

The 22-year-old was promoted between games of the twin bill and started at third base in the nightcap, but he struck out in his first three at-bats before grounding into a fielder's choice in the ninth inning. Mayer is the organization's top infield prospect and posted a .265/.342/.465 slash line with nine homers in 43 games with Triple-A Worcester before being promoted, and he should receive plenty of playing time with the Red Sox while Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is sidelined.

Caminero went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Caminero was responsible for all of the Rays' scoring Saturday, as he took Jose Berrios deep to left-center field for a three-run homer in the first inning, which are his first RBI since May 13. It was Caminero's ninth home run of the season, and the 21-year-old is slashing .239/.271/.699 with three steals and 23 RBI over 192 plate appearances.

The Red Sox placed Bregman on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right quadriceps strain.

Bregman injured his right quad while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Friday's 19-5 win over Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bregman is dealing with a "significant" strain similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused the veteran third baseman to miss over 50 games, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. A similar timeline would put Bregman on pace to return in late July after the All-Star break, though the Red Sox should have a more clearer target date available for him once he's able to resume baseball activities. Boston called up infield prospect Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, and the youngster could get a look in an everyday role at third base while Bregman is on the shelf.
