Grisham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

The left-handed-hitting Grisham has now been withheld from the lineup for all four of the Yankees' matchups with southpaw starters this season. Randal Grichuk will replace Grisham in the outfield while the Yankees face off against Yusei Kikuchi on Monday.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

He'll head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Ben Rice and Trent Grisham while the Yankees stock up some extra right-handed bats to counter Angels southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Amed Rosario will step in at third base in place of McMahon, who owns a .376 OPS over 42 plate appearances on the season.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that he doesn't anticipate Holliday (hand) being activated from the 10-day injured list this week, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Working his way back from a surgery to remove the fractured hook of the hamate bone in his right hand, Holliday is slashing only .167/.239/.214 with a 3:12 BB:K over his first 11 rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk. He's eligible to return at any time, but the Orioles seemingly want to see Holliday get into a groove at the plate before they add him back to the active roster. Jeremiah Jackson has been seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base lately for Baltimore.

The Tigers transferred Meadows (arm/concussion) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of waiver claim Yoniel Curet. Meadows suffered a fractured left arm and a concussion as a result of a collision in the outfield with teammate Riley Greene last week and won't be eligible to return until June 9.

The Tigers claimed Curet off waivers from the Phillies on Monday.

Curet has yet to make an appearance at any level this season, though he's not believed to be dealing with any sort of injury. The Tigers have assigned the hard-throwing righty to their rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, so they will have their coaching staff take a look at Curet before deciding how best to deploy him. Curet is expected to eventually settle at Triple-A Toledo or Double-A Erie.

Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peraza manned the keystone for 11 of the Angels' first 13 games, but he's been out of the picture since Vaughn Grissom came off the injured list Saturday. Grissom made a pair of starts against left-handed pitchers over the weekend, while Adam Frazier is at second base Monday against right-hander Will Warren. Peraza occupied third base in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Reds and came through with solo home run, but he's slashing an unremarkable .214/.267/.405 over 46 plate appearances on the season.

Rice is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Lefty Yusei Kikuchi is on the bump for the Halos in Monday's series opener, marking the third time in four contests versus southpaws this season that the lefty-swinging Rice has been absent from the lineup. Paul Goldschmidt will hold down first base and bat leadoff for the Yankees.

Taveras will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With all of Adley Rutschman (ankle), Ryan Mountcastle (foot) and Tyler O'Neill (concussion) having went down with injuries over the weekend, Taveras appears to have gained a foothold in the Orioles' everyday lineup. Taveras has historically provided most of his value with his defense and speed, but he's held his own at the plate over his previous three starts, going 4-for-12 with a pair of doubles, two runs and an RBI during that stretch. He could be in line for regular reps in the Baltimore outfield until the team reclaims some health.

Mayo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

For the second time in four games, Mayo will take a seat while Blaze Alexander picks up another start at third base. After a strong September to close out the 2025 campaign, Mayo hasn't been able to carry over that success to the first two and a half weeks of the 2026 season. He's batting just .158/.273/.184 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate over 44 plate appearances, with his poor form potentially putting him at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Norfolk if he's unable to turn things around quickly.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Monday that Miller (oblique) threw a bullpen session Sunday that went "very well," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Miller has been at extended spring training as he works his way back from a left oblique strain, but he is expected to rejoin the Mariners in Seattle this weekend to be reevaluated by the training staff. It's possible the trainers will deem Miller ready to begin a rehab assignment. The righty hasn't made a game appearance since February, so he will need a few rehab outings before Seattle evaluates his readiness to rejoin the big-league rotation.
