The Padres optioned Wagner to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Wagner served as a strong-side platoon player for most of his three-week stay in the big leagues, slashing .257/.422/.286 while scoring five runs in 16 games. Since Wagner was likely to become an odd man out of the lineup with another left-handed hitter in Jake Cronenworth (concussion) returning from the 7-day injured list Moday, the Padres opted to send the 27-year-old to Triple-A so that he can continue to play regularly.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench for the series opener in Milwaukee while southpaw Robert Gasser toes the rubber for the Brewers. Lowe will cede first base to Spencer Steer, who will bat third.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

As per usual, the left-handed-hitting Pederson will retreat to the bench while Texas goes up against a lefty starter (Parker Messick) in the series opener. Justin Foscue will replace Pederson at designated hitter and will occupy the leadoff spot.

Canzone (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels.

Canzone missed Sunday's game versus the Guardians while nursing a sore right hamstring. He's still not 100 percent but is feeling well enough to serve as the Mariners' DH, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Canzone leads Mariners regulars this season with an .891 OPS.

The Mariners placed Refsnyder (knees) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Refsnyder has gone 1-for-17 over his last seven games, and his poor performance at the plate may have been partially due to injuries to both of his knees. A minimum stint on the IL has the veteran outfielder in line to return to the majors July 9, though it's unclear whether he'll be back in action before or after the All-Star break. Buddy Kennedy -- who the Mariners acquired from the Giants on Sunday -- will take Refsnyder's spot on the 26-man roster.

Yelich is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Reds.

With southpaw Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for the Reds, the Brewers will give the left-handed-hitting Yelich a breather. Gary Sanchez is occupying the designated hitter slot and batting fifth in the series opener.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Stanton (calf) has restarted a running program and will take live at-bats against rehabbing left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Stanton paused his running program after experiencing a setback with his strained right calf June 11, so the Yankees could have the 36-year-old ramp up more deliberately this time around before he starts sprinting at full speed. Since Stanton has been on the shelf since April 28 due to the calf injury, he'll presumably need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before making his return from the 10-day injured list. Stanton appears unlikely to rejoin the New York lineup until after the All-Star break.

The Cubs recalled Alcantara from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Alcantara has spent the majority of 2026 at Triple-A, where he's slashing .273/.367/.569 with 17 home runs and four stolen bases 248 plate appearances. His addition gives the Cubs depth in the outfield after Matt Shaw (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday in a corresponding move.

Suarez (wrist) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Suarez went 0-for-2 before exiting Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates after being hit in the left wrist by a pitch in the sixth inning. According to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Suarez said that X-rays and a CT scan on his wrist both returned negative, leaving him optimistic that he'll be "ready to go" for the Reds' four-game set in Milwaukee. The Reds will keep him on the bench for the series opener, however, as Elly De La Cruz gets a night off from playing shortstop while he manages a sprained ankle but sticks in the starting nine at Suarez's usual spot at designated hitter.

Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Benintendi will be given a night off after he went 4-for-15 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while serving as Chicago's designated hitter over the previous four games. Randal Grichuk will get a turn at DH in the series opener in Baltimore.
