Ahmed isn't starting Monday against the Marlins.

Ahmed will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout over the last three games. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Double-A Akron placed Rocchio on its 7-day injured list Monday due to a concussion.

Rocchio presumably picked up the injury during his last game Sunday against Richmond, when he doubled in his lone at-bat before exiting the contest. The 21-year-old switch-hitting infielder isn't known to have a prior history of head injuries, so the Guardians should have some optimism that he'll be in store for an abbreviated absence. Before sustaining the concussion, Rocchio appeared in 25 games for Akron and slashed .236/.324/.393 with three home runs and two stolen bases.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

The 28-year-old continues to climb out of his early season hole. Over his last 16 games, Swanson is slashing .340/.414/.560 with two homers, three steals, eight RBI and 12 runs, although he still sports an elevated 31.0 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Owings went 0-for-1 with three walks in a 4-2 win over the Royals in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

This was Owings' first game action since April 30, as he's been a bit lost in the shuffle among the Orioles' field players. He's done little to earn more playing time with a .105 batting average and a 6:12 BB:K through 25 plate appearances this season. Owings remains a versatile defender, but that could see him stay limited to making late entrances into games as a defensive replacement or pinch hitter or runner.

Mateo went 2-for-8 with a stolen base and a run scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Mateo is now 5-for-15 across his last four games after recording a single in both of Sunday's contests. The shortstop is up to eight stolen bases in 27 games this season. He's added a .242/.281/.363 slash line with a home run, six RBI, nine runs scored, a triple and six doubles. The speed is a plus, but there's very little power in his bat.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a 3-2 loss Sunday in San Diego.

Rojas singled and swiped second base in the seventh inning against Joe Musgrove. It was the first stolen base of the season for the veteran after he stole a career-best 13 in 2021. The 33-year-old is off to a terrible start at the plate with a .489 OPS but has shown signs of life recently, reaching base safely in five of his last six starts.

Correa (finger) said Tuesday's series opener against the Astros is "not a realistic day to come back," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Although Correa isn't dealing with a fracture in his right middle finger, he's been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and is still dealing with soreness. He plans to take some dry swings Monday, but it seems likely that he'll be held out for at least one more matchup. Assuming Correa is unavailable against his former team Tuesday, Royce Lewis would likely draw another start at shortstop.

Diaz was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Sunday's 5-0 win over the Tigers with an apparent injury, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. He went 2-for-3 with a grand slam before exiting.

According to Lerner, Diaz looked to have experienced some discomfort during his final at-bat in the bottom of the sixth, when he grounded out to second base. Per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, manager Dusty Baker said Diaz was dealing with some "nagging stuff," so he should be considered day-to-day for now. Diaz stayed in the contest to play the field for an inning before Jeremy Pena was summoned from the bench to replace him. The injury was a down note on an otherwise productive day for Diaz, whose second homer of the season effectively decided the game.

Camargo is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Camargo picked up a start at first base in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Mets in Game 1, going 1-for-4 at the plate. Though he'll move to the bench with Rhys Hoskins checking back into the lineup for Game 2, Camargo should pick up steady work at shortstop while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. Bryson Stott will end up starting at shortstop in both games of the twin bill, however.

Crawford (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Dylan Moore will pick up the start at shortstop in place of Crawford, who sits for the first time this season after exiting Saturday's 8-2 loss with back spasms. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the Mariners view Crawford's injury as a day-to-day concern, so the 27-year-old could be ready to go for Monday's series opener with the Phillies.
