Urias is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Astros on Monday.

Urias will begin Monday's game on the bench while Max Schuemann starts at the keystone and bats ninth. Urias has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 8-for-31 (.258) with one steal, five runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

Wynns is absent from the Athletics' starting lineup against the Astros on Monday.

Willie MacIver will serve behind home plate and bat eighth in Monday's series opener. Wynns went 2-for-8 with two home runs and three RBI over his last two starts.

Clarke is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Astros on Monday.

Clarke will take a seat for Monday's series opener after going 3-for-12 with one run scored during the A's weekend series against the Royals. JJ Bleday will start in center field and bat seventh.

The Mariners optioned Kowar to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The transaction frees a spot on the active roster for the return of right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) from the injured list. Kowar made seven appearances after being activated from the 60-day injured list late last month, yielding two runs with an 8:3 K:BB over 8.2 frames.

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).
