Lombard (knee) is not listed in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Lombard will miss his second consecutive game after injuring himself during Saturday's matchup against Boston. Jose Caballero will once again man shortstop and bat eighth for New York. Manager Aaron Boone noted before the matchup that Lombard did some running earlier in the day, and he's unsure if the rookie will be available off the bench, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

Jung (calf) has been cleared for full baseball activities and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Jung did some running Monday and said afterward that it went well, though it seems he's still not quite 100 percent with his running at this point. He will continue to ramp things up this week, with the goal of playing in rehab games by the weekend if all goes well. Jung has been sidelined for more than a month with a left calf strain.

Ginn will no longer start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, as the Athletics want to give him additional rest before his next outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ginn has already logged a career-high 138.1 innings this season, so the decision to push him back could simply be about managing his workload. The right-hander is expected to make a start later this week in Seattle, though the exact date hasn't been revealed.

Texas recalled Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

The Rangers cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Peoples by placing Cole Winn (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Over his two previous stints with the Rangers this season, Peoples made 14 relief appearances and pitched to a 2.51 ERA and 1.19. WHIP across 14.1 innings.

The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Just four days after being sent down to Round Rock, Ahlstrom is back with the big-league club. His numbers with Texas this season include a 3-1 record, 6.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB over 31.1 innings. The Rangers placed Peyton Gray (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, freeing a spot on the active roster for Ahlstrom.

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a right rotator cuff strain.

Winn hadn't pitched since Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on five hits over 1.1 innings in a relief appearance against the White Sox. The Rangers haven't revealed the severity of Winn's strain, but he won't be eligible for activation until at least Sept. 12 as a result of the transaction. Texas recalled right-hander Ben Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Winn in the bullpen.

Texas placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

The 31-year-old has struggled over his last 15 appearances out of the Texas bullpen, registering a 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings. The Rangers recalled Robby Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Gray in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.

Monasterio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

After starting in all but three games from July 22 through Saturday, Monasterio will remain on the bench for the second day in a row in the wake of Trevor Story's return from the 60-day injured list. Though Story could have his workload monitored to some degree following his return from sports hernia surgery, he'll still be in store for the lion's share of starts at shortstop while Monasterio transitions into more of a utility role.

Baez could see his playing time limited down the stretch, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Baez has started more than 75 percent of the Tigers' games since returning from an ankle injury in late July. However, with the team's playoff chances looking remote, the Tigers want to get a look at some younger players in the final month of the regular season. Baez -- who is set to earn $24 million in 2027 in his final year under contract -- has slashed .255/.285/.369 with two homers in 46 contests this season.

Ryan (glute) is scheduled to make a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.

Ryan, sidelined since Aug. 7, will take another step in his recovery by making his first rehab start Tuesday, marking his first game action in four weeks. The 30-year-old has progressed from a pair of bullpen sessions to facing live hitters and now will throw around 45-50 pitches (or three innings) for St. Paul, per Twins manager Derek Shelton. This year, the right-hander owns a 6-8 record, 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:27 K:BB over 125.2 innings.
