Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Taylor Walls will step in at third base after Paredes manned the hot corner for the final two games of the Rays' series with the Royals over the weekend. Paredes connected on his 17th home run of the season in Sunday's 8-4 win, giving him four long balls in seven games thus far in July.

Devers is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Athletics.

Devers will take a seat for the first time since June 14 as the Red Sox launch their three-game series in Oakland. The third baseman has been red-hot since returning to action following the All-Star break, going 6-for-13 with three solo homers, two doubles and five runs scored over Boston's series in Chicago. Justin Turner will start at third base while Adam Duvall enters the lineup in center field after some shuffling and will bat fifth in the series opener with the Athletics.

Peterson will sit Monday against the Red Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Peterson will remain on the bench for a second consecutive game after he went 2-for-8 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base over Oakland's three-game series with the Twins. Jordan Diaz will draw the start at the hot corner and bat second in the series opener with Boston.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will take a seat for the first time since June 14, breaking a streak of 26 consecutive starts. The move to the bench comes after Garcia had fallen into a bit of a slump at the dish of late, as he's gone 3-for-26 over his last seven starts. Nicky Lopez will spell him at third base Monday.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to the Astros.

Moustakas put the Angels on the board and tied the game in the second inning with a 415-foot blast to center field. It was the veteran slugger's second homer in as many days and his fourth in 14 games since joining the Halos on June 24. Moustakas is hitting just .240 with his new team, though, and has struck out at a troublesome 33.3 percent rate.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against Atlanta.

Burger blasted a two-run homer in the second inning, his fourth long ball in his last 10 games. He's also chipped in seven runs scored and seven RBI in that span, while reaching base at a .351 clip. Over a larger sample, Burger has an elevated strikeout rate that will preclude him from being a well-rounded producer. However, with 21 home runs across 274 plate appearances on the season, he's a proven source of power so long as Yoan Moncada (back) is sidelined.

Shenton has been promoted from Double-A Montgomery to Triple-A Durham.

Shenton is already 25, so he is old for a player making his Triple-A debut. After being roughly league average at Double-A in 2021 (103 wRC+) and 2022 (100 wRC+), Shenton was 58 percent better than league average this year, slashing .307/.415/.567 with 15 home runs in 73 games. He received the majority of his starts at third base while at Double-A, but Shenton has been filling in at first base during his Triple-A time for Kyle Manzardo (undisclosed), who is on the injured list.

Jung went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Guardians

Jung, who was 1-for-his-last-12 in the series, delivered the go-ahead runs with a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning. His was the third consecutive run-producing hit during Texas' four-run eighth. The All-Star third baseman is up to 58 RBI for the season, which leads all rookies.

Peraza went 1-for-1 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Rockies.

Peraza didn't start the contest, but he ran for Anthony Rizzo in the ninth inning. This was Peraza's first major-league action since May 3, as he was called up to replace Josh Donaldson (calf) on the active roster. Peraza is slashing .212/.333/.242 with three steals, four RBI, four runs scored and a double over 39 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Bregman went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's victory against the Angels.

Bregman's two-run blast in the ninth inning put the Astros back on top. He was stuck in a 7-for-46 (.152 average) rut over a 12-game span since his last homer June 29. After Sunday's big performance, Bregman's slash line moved back up to .246/.341/.398 with 27 extra-base hits and 58 RBI through 93 games.
