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

The left-handed-hitting Baldwin will be given a breather in the series opener while the Royals send southpaw Rich Hill to the bump. Marcell Ozuna will get the nod at designated hitter in place of Baldwin, who hit .250 with five doubles, nine RBI and five runs while starting in each of Atlanta's previous 10 games.

Teel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

After he was rested for Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs in day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Teel will remain on the bench Monday since the Phillies are sending a southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill. Edgar Quero will handle catching duties for the White Sox in the series opener.

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The Dodgers haven't indicated that Smith is dealing with any sort of illness or injury, but he'll be on the bench for a second straight game while Dalton Rushing draws another start behind the plate. Smith has been productive at the plate thus far in the second half, batting .290 with a pair of solo home runs and a 4:7 K:BB in 10 games since the All-Star break.

The Rays acquired Fortes from the Marlins on Monday in exchange for outfielder Matthew Etzel (undisclosed), Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The Rays dealt catcher Danny Jansen to the Brewers earlier Monday and have immediately replaced him with Fortes. Fortes has turned in an underwhelming .225/.277/.344 batting line in parts of five major-league seasons, but the Rays hope to coax more out of him with a change of scenery. In Tampa Bay, the 28-year-old will vie with Matt Thaiss for playing time behind the dish for the rest of the season.

Higashioka (hamstring) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

It'll be the fifth straight game Higashioka will miss while he works through a strained right hamstring, though he could be available off the bench to pinch hit. Jonah Heim will serve behind home plate and bat ninth in Monday's series opener.

Thaiss will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Yankees.

Thaiss was originally slated to sit out Monday's series opener, but he has been moved into the lineup after the Rays finalized a trade that sent Danny Jansen to the Brewers. Thaiss will be the team's starting backstop for the moment, though Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic relays that Nick Fortes is set to be acquired from the Marlins. Thaiss has a .641 OPS with one steal, one home run and 16 RBI in 181 plate appearances this season.

The Brewers acquired Jansen and cash considerations from the Rays on Monday in exchange for infielder Jadher Areinamo, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jansen won't supplant William Contreras as Milwaukee's No. 1 catcher, but he will give the club an upgrade over Eric Haase for the top backup spot. The 30-year-old Jansen has posted an .820 OPS against left-handed pitching this season and is scheduled to become a free agent this winter.

Maldonado is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Mets on Monday.

Maldonado will be on the bench for a second straight game while Elias Diaz serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Maldonado hasn't been that productive at the plate this season, though he has gone 5-for-14 (.357) with three doubles and two RBI since the All-Star break.

Pages is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Marlins.

Pages' average on the season has dipped below .200 following a 1-for-21 stretch at the plate, so he will get a day off to regroup. Yohel Pozo will start at catcher and bat seventh for the Cardinals.

The Twins acquired Jimenez from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for right-handers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

The Tigers will get some rotation help while the Twins get a lottery ticket in Jimenez, who has slashed .250/.339/.440 with six home runs this season in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 19-year-old is primarily a catcher but has also spent time at first base.
