Seager is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

Seager will get a rare day off while he battles through uncharacteristic struggles in June with a lowly .143/.313/.222 batting line so far this month. Ezequiel Duran will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth for the Rangers.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Though he'll be in danger of fading into a fourth-outfielder role once Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) makes his return from the injured list, Carlson has been a fairly stable presence in the lineup in recent weeks. He'll be on the bench for the series opener versus Texas but had started in eight of the previous 11 games while slashing .367/.367/.500 with a home run and a steal during that stretch.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn hasn't been used as a strict strong-side platoon player this season, but he'll take a seat for the series opener versus Texas while the Rangers send a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the hill. Coby Mayo will enter the lineup in place of O'Hearn as the Orioles' starting first baseman.

The Rangers optioned Boushley to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

After giving up five earned runs on 10 hits and one walk while tossing four innings and 72 pitches in relief in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Pirates, Boushley wasn't going to be available for at least the next couple of days, so the Rangers opted to move him off the active roster in exchange for a fresh arm. Texas called up right-hander Dane Dunning from Triple-A to replace Boushley.

The Rays optioned Misner to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

The writing seemed to be on the wall for Misner's demotion, as the left-handed-hitting outfielder was slashing just .148/.212/.213 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of May and had been on the bench for two of the Rays' last five matchups with right-handed pitchers. Misner has an intriguing fantasy profile due to his blend of power and speed, but his contact issues could make it difficult for him to stick as an everyday player in the big leagues. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays plan to recall Chandler Simpson from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday to replace Misner as a strong-side platoon outfielder.

The Rays are expected to recall Simpson from Triple-A Durham prior to Tuesday's game in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kameron Misner has already been optioned to Durham, and his roster spot will be filled by Simpson. The speedy Simpson slashed .285/.315/.317 with 19 steals in 35 games earlier this season with the Rays and should see regular playing time in the outfield, at least against right-handers. Simpson should be scooped back up in fantasy leagues where he was dropped, particularly for managers in need of aid in the stolen base category.

The Rangers selected Dunning's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Dunning will be available out of the bullpen for Monday's series opener in Baltimore, but if he goes unused, he'll be an option to make a spot start or serve as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's contest. Since being outrighted off the Rangers' 40-man roster in May, Dunning has been working out of the rotation at Round Rock, pitching to a 3.76 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB in 26.1 innings. Even if he ends up getting a start Tuesday, Dunning likely won't be in store for multiple turns through the rotation since Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) looks poised to return from the 15-day injured list later this week.

The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Winans will start Monday's game in Cincinnati, filling in for the injured Ryan Yarbrough (oblique). He earned the promotion after collecting a impressive 0.90 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB over 50 innings at Triple-A. With Marcus Stroman (knee) nearing a return from the injured list, Winans may be in line for just one start with the Yankees.

The Royals activated Wright (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha.

Wright appears to be back to full health, but the Royals were unwilling to clear a spot for him on the 26-man active roster after he turned in a 5.48 ERA and 21:14 K:BB over 23 innings across eight rehab starts between Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The right-hander hasn't pitched at the big-league level since undergoing right shoulder surgery in October 2023. He covered three innings in his most recent outing for Omaha on Saturday, and Wright could continue to get stretched out as a starter while he sticks around at Triple-A.

High-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Amick (oblique) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

Amick has been cleared to make his return to the Cedar Rapids lineup for the first time since April 30 after he had been sidelined for seven weeks with a left oblique strain. The 22-year-old infielder was activated after he completed a six-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers.
