Garcia (shoulder) struck out the side in a scoreless inning of relief for the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Monday.

It's not surprising to see Garcia dominate FCL hitters, but it is a very encouraging start to his rehab assignment. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since May 22 due to a shoulder impingement, and he'll likely be shifted to a higher-level affiliate in short order as he tracks toward a return to the Toronto bullpen within the next week or so.

Wong went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Wong's fourth-inning sacrifice fly plated Boston's fourth run and produced the catcher's first RBI of the season in his 29th game. Monday's start was the second in three games for Wong, who's lost the starting job to Carlos Narvaez and is batting .157 (11-for-70) with a .416 OPS.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Abreu delivered two runs on a first-inning single. He's hit safely in all three starts since coming off the injured list Friday, going 5-for-12 with four RBI. The Angels are scheduled to throw left-hander Tyler Anderson on Tuesday, which means Abreu could begin the game on the bench.

Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.

Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. The 14th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a loss to the Angels.

Story hit the only homer in the contest for the Red Sox, swatting a 387-foot solo shot to left field in the sixth inning. The multi-hit performance was the veteran shortstop's eighth in June, and he's batting a strong .289 this month with four home runs, 16 RBI and two stolen bases through 19 contests. Story has notched 11 homers and 11 thefts on the season, making him one of seven major-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.

Neto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 9-5 win against the Red Sox on Monday.

Neto opened the Angels' half of the first inning with a solo blast to center field, and he notched a second RBI in the same frame when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The long ball was his second in as many games, as he belted a solo blast in his lone plate appearance as a pinch hitter Sunday. Neto is up to a .278/.322/.498 slash line on the campaign, and with 12 homers and 13 steals, he's one of seven big-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.

Buehler gave up five runs on three hits and seven walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Buehler couldn't harness his control in the outing, throwing just 46 of 94 pitches for strikes and handing out a career-high seven free passes. Four of those walks came in the first inning, when Buehler also hit two batters and gave up all five of the runs on his line. The veteran right-hander has had a terrible June, posting an 11.57 ERA with a 14:14 K:BB through four starts spanning 16.1 frames. That's pushed his season ERA up to an ugly 6.29, and it's fair to wonder if Boston will intervene and try to find a way to get him back on track.

Kochanowicz allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Boston on Monday.

Though Kochanowicz issued only two free passes, he threw just 49 of 84 pitches for strikes. The right-hander also tied a season low with one punchout, though he notched a solid 13 whiffs. This was far from Kochanowicz's best outing, but on the plus side he avoided giving up a homer for the first time in his past five starts. Kochanowicz has managed to hold onto a role at the back of the Angels' rotation despite posting a mediocre 5.49 ERA through 16 starts, and he's tentatively slated to face the Nationals the next time he takes the mound.

Jansen left Monday's game against Boston due to a cramp in his right pectoral, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Jansen is expected to be fine after leaving Monday's game unexpectedly. The club will presumably check on him again in the morning, but Jansen stated in the clubhouse after the game that he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup, per Bollinger.

Jansen left Monday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Jansen's velocity was notably down upon entering the game, and he left with the team trainer after throwing four pitches. The right-hander can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share on his availability moving forward.
