Mateo (chest/shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo exited Sunday's game against the Tigers after crashing into Spencer Torkelson while running to first base. X-rays returned negative and he wasn't diagnosed with anything worse than chest and shoulder contusions, but Mateo will get at least one day off to heal. Ramon Urias will be the shortstop in his absence, with Rylan Bannon starting at third base. According to Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun, Mateo said he feels fine and will be available off the bench Monday, so the Orioles may just be withholding him from the lineup for the series opener as a matter of precaution.

Rojas isn't starting Monday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas started in the last three games and went 1-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a run and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Erik Gonzalez takes over at shortstop and bats eighth.

Pena (knee) went through baseball activities in front of the Astros coaching staff and training staff Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena has been dealing with a sore right knee and hasn't played since Thursday. His extensive workout seems to a test of whether he's ready to play Monday against the Red Sox, with a trip to the injured list potentially in play if it looks like he'll still need several more days to recover.

Witt went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Rockies.

During the three-game series in Colorado, Witt went 3-for-11 with a pair of homers, four RBI and five runs. Sunday's game was also the first time he's drawn multiple walks all season. He's lifted his slash line to .217/.254/.375 with three long balls, 14 RBI, 15 runs and five stolen bases through 31 contests. The bounce-back May for Whit Merrifield has seen Witt drop to the middle of the order after a bit of time as the Royals' leadoff hitter.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

He took Robbie Ray deep in the first inning to get the Mets on the board. Lindor is having a rough May, going 8-for-53 (.151) through 14 games, but he's stayed productive with two of his six homers on the year, one steal, seven runs and eight RBI.

Duran went 4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two home runs, five RBI and five runs scored for Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

After collecting four hits in his first four at-bats, Duran showed a good approach over this final two plate appearances, working a walk and a run-producing sacrifice fly. Those final two plate appearances are what stood out to Frisco manager Jared Goedert, Tyler Maun of MLB.com reports. "I would say that's a definite sign of maturity, of that maturity coming, because that is tough for hitters," the manager said. "I was pretty impressed with him on that." The second-base prospect has turned it on during the month of May. Over the last 12 games, he's 21-for-49 (.429) with seven doubles, four homers, one triple and 15 RBI. Duran was one of the prizes coming over from the Yankees in the Joey Gallo deal, but he struggled with the new organization in 2021. It looks like he struggles no longer.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Padres in extra innings.

The 28-year-old also struck out twice but provided most of Atlanta's offense in the series finale with his 416-foot, two-run shot to center field during the fourth inning. It was Swanson's third homer in his past eight contests, but strikeouts continue to be a problem as he's totaled 11 during that stretch. He has a .229/.303/.407 slash line with four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs, four stolen bases and a 35.6 percent strikeout rate through 35 games this year.

Adames (ankle) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Adames exited Sunday's win over the Marlins due to a left ankle sprain, and he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. He'll be reevaluated when the Brewers return to Milwaukee on Monday and is considered day-to-day for now. If Adames misses any additional time, Luis Urias and Mike Brosseau would likely fill in at shortstop.

Mateo was diagnosed with chest and shoulder contusions after X-rays came back negative Sunday, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's matchup with Detroit when he collided with first baseman Spencer Torkelson while trying to bunt for a base hit, but it appears he's avoided any serious issues. Mateo should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Yankees.

Adames was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle after leaving Sunday's game at Miami, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during the first inning Sunday when he safely slid into home plate, and he was removed from the contest one inning later. Adames will be re-evaluated Monday and should be considered day-to-day in the meantime.
