Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.

Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.

Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Baez started the previous seven games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-22 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop and bat seventh for Detroit.

Bichette went 4-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

All four knocks were singles, and none of them led to any runs, but Bichette remains laser-focused at the dish. The shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going in which he's slashing .422/.435/.644 with seven doubles, a homer, six runs and 12 RBI, and per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, he set a new Blue Jays franchise over the last two contests with hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Bichette's 130 hits on the season leads the majors, as he moved one ahead of Aaron Judge (wrist) with Monday's performance.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Although the rookie infielder's six-game hitting streak came to an end in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, Montgomery smashed his fourth homer in his past six outings Monday. Montgomery is off to quite an encouraging start to his major-league career, slashing .273/.333/.515 with the aforementioned four long balls, two doubles, one triple and 16 RBI through his first 73 plate appearances.

Crawford is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Monday.

Crawford will get a rest day while Dylan Moore starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Crawford has been cold at the plate since the All-Star break, going 4-for-43 (.093) with two doubles, one RBI and a 25.0 percent strikeout rate.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Though the Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.

The Rays acquired Areinamo from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for catcher Danny Jansen and cash considerations, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Areinamo, 21, has slashed .297/.355/.463 with 11 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 94 games this season at High-A Wisconsin. He is capable of playing shortstop, second base and third base.

Wilson (hand) is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.

Wilson is nursing a bruised hand, which he played through for a couple of weeks after being hit by a pitch prior to the All-Star break. He'll remain out of the lineup while Max Schuemann starts at shortstop and bats eighth.

Pena (rib) returned to Houston to work out with the Astros on Monday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list in the near future, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena is back in Houston after he spent the weekend at the Astros' facility in Florida, where he faced off against live pitching. He will report to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday to begin what will likely be a brief minor league rehab assignment, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. According to Sean O'Leary of SI.com, Houston general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Pena could be activated as soon as Friday, when the Astros will open a three-game series in Boston.
