Monasterio started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta.

Monasterio has made two consecutive starts at shortstop, as Trevor Story (groin) was added to the injured list and could face surgery. It's unclear if Monasterio will become the everyday fill-in at shortstop, but interim manager Chad Tracy put him in the starting lineup against right-handers Saturday and Sunday. Other than Monasterio, the Red Sox have a host of options on the 26-man roster that can play shortstop, including Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Nick Sogard and Marcelo Mayer.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

Riley opened the scoring with a three-run blast in the first inning before adding a double and scoring again in the fifth. It marked the first time the third baseman recorded multiple extra-base hits in a game since April 17, and he's now hitting .286 with four home runs in 15 May contests after entering the month with just three long balls. On the season, he's slashing .220/.287/.384 with seven homers, 28 RBI, 24 runs scored and three steals across 195 plate appearances.

Caminero went 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.

Caminero launched a solo shot off Eury Perez in the first inning before adding an RBI via a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. The 22-year-old slugger has now hit safely in seven of his past nine games, tallying three homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .256/.342/.488 with 12 home runs, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored across 196 plate appearances.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8, 10-inning loss to the White Sox.

Bregman extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he's tallied two hits in each of the last three contests. After a relatively slow start to his first season with the Cubs, the star third baseman seems to be settling into his significant role with the team. Bregman has played in all but one of Chicago's games to date, and with the lineup starting to really click, his recent production may be sustainable.

Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Yorke will head back to Triple-A after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts while appearing in four contests following his call-up from Indianapolis on May 8. A corresponding move is expected to be announced ahead of the Pirates' series opener in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Rengifo started six of the previous seven games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 0-for-8 with two strikeouts in the first two games of the series versus Minnesota. David Hamilton will shift to the hot corner while Joey Ortiz starts at shortstop in the series finale.

Paredes isn't starting Sunday versus Texas.

Paredes has been a regular at third base for the Astros since Carlos Correa (ankle) was lost for the season, but he'll get at least a partial day off after going just 2-for-19 over his past five contests. Braden Shewmake is starting at the hot corner Sunday.

Okamoto is out of Toronto's starting lineup versus the Tigers on Sunday.

It's a rare rest day for Okamoto, who had started 44 of the Blue Jays' 45 games this season coming into Sunday. After beginning May with a 10-game hitting streak that included five homers, he's tailed off a bit of late, going 1-for-14 over his past four contests. Ernie Clement is starting at third base in Okamoto's stead Sunday.

Durbin is not in Boston's starting lineup Sunday versus Atlanta, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Durbin will get a breather amidst a rough start to May, as he's batting just .150 through 14 games so far this month. Nick Sogard is starting at third base Sunday for the Red Sox.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during the White Sox's 8-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Vargas opened Saturday's scoring early when he belted a homer off Jameson Taillon in the first inning. It was the 11th home run of the season for Vargas and extended his hit streak to eight games. He has three multi-hit performances during that stretch and has gone 11-for-28 (.393) with four home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored.
