The Mariners activated Gilbert (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

He's set to make his long-awaited return to the Mariners' rotation Monday versus the Red Sox after missing nearly two months of action with a flexor strain. Gilbert threw 72 pitches across five scoreless innings during his final rehab start, so he should face only minor workload restrictions in his first outing back with the big club.

Campbell will serve as the designated hitter and bat ninth against the Mariners on Monday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The Red Sox will be experimenting with their lineup after trading Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday. Campbell will be the first to take on DH duties while David Hamilton starts at second base. Campbell has gone 8-for-37 (.216) with two doubles, one home run and five RBI since the beginning of June.

Misner is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Orioles on Monday.

Misner will begin Monday's game on the bench while Christopher Morel, Jake Mangum and Josh Lowe start in the outfield from left to right. Misner has struggled at the plate in June, going 5-for-32 (.156) with one steal, one home run, three RBI and a 29.4 percent strikeout rate.

Brubaker (ribs) rejoined the Yankees on Monday after completing his rehab assignment, and manager Aaron Boone said that the right-hander is in line for "potential activation" from the 60-day injured list, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Brubaker has yet to make his Yankees debut since being acquired from the Pirates in March 2024, as he was limited to a slew of minor-league rehab appearances last season while completing his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander received a clean bill of health heading into spring training, but he fractured three of his ribs after being struck by a comebacker in late February and has spent the last three-plus months working his way back from the injury. Brubaker has finally reached the finish line in his recovery, and he closed out his extended rehab assignment in impressive fashion by allowing one earned run on no hits and two walks over five innings in his most recent outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Though Brubaker has been building up as a starter during his rehab, he may be more likely to work in long relief once the Yankees activate him within the next few days.

Cousins will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cousins has dealt with issues with his pitching arm since the beginning of spring training and recently experienced a setback that has prompted him to get season-ending surgery. He will be shelved at least until the middle of the 2026 season.

Laureano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

The Orioles will get two everyday players in Colton Cowser (soreness) and Ryan O'Hearn (ankle) back in the lineup Monday following multi-game absences, and though Laureano will head to the bench, he still appears to have a hold on a regular spot in the starting nine. Since returning from the injured list June 6, Laureano had started in each of the Orioles' ensuing nine games and slashed .250/.342/.438 with two home runs and six RBI. He maintains a .834 OPS on the season, good for second on the team behind O'Hearn (.893).

Mayo is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rays.

The Orioles are facing right-hander Ryan Pepiot, marking the fifth straight contest that Mayo has been out of the lineup against a righty. Baltimore will go with Ryan O'Hearn at first base and Jordan Westburg at designated hitter.

O'Hearn (ankle) will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Rays.

O'Hearn missed the previous two contests after injuring his left ankle this past Friday, but he's ready to roll for Monday's series opener. Coby Mayo will retreat to the bench after starting the last two games at first base in O'Hearn's place.

Cowser (soreness) will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Rays.

Cowser collided with the outfield wall in last Thursday's game against the Tigers and missed the three games after that with general soreness. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Monday's series opener in Tampa Bay.

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

After going 2-for-15 at the dish while starting in each of the Yankees' last four games, Dominguez will head to the bench Monday as the Angels send right-hander Jose Soriano to the hill. With Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) making his return from the 60-day injured list and likely to see the bulk of the starts at designated hitter moving forward, Dominguez's opportunities to play against right-handed pitching could become more limited.
