The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Englert returned from Toledo's 7-day injured list Thursday after recovering from right elbow inflammation. Across his 11 major-league outings this season, he's posted a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 19.2 innings. Englert will join the Tigers' bullpen with left-hander Will Vest (personal) going on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

The Tigers selected Madden's contract from Triple-A Toledo, and he will start in Monday's series finale against the White Sox.

Madden will make his major-league debut Monday as he provides the Tigers some relief for their starting rotation, which has been decimated by injuries. Madden was promoted to Toledo in late April, and in his 18 starts in Triple-A this season he's posted a 3-5 record with a 7.97 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 102:40 K:BB over 79 innings. If he is able to fare well in his MLB debut, he could stick around with the big club and earn another start down the road.

Thomas is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

Thomas looks to be at risk of moving into a platoon role in the Cleveland outfield, as he'll take a seat for the third time in the Guardians' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. Will Brennan will cover center field in Game 2 in place of Thomas, who started against a lefty (Cole Ragans) in the Guardians' 4-3 loss earlier in the day and went 1-for-4 with a walk.

Rogers is absent from Monday's lineup against the White Sox.

Dillon Dingler will start behind home plate for the second straight game. Since the beginning of August, Rogers has slashed .167/.205/.405 with five runs scored, two home runs and 11 RBI over 44 plate appearances.

The Red Sox recalled Horn from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Both the Red Sox and Blue Jays are able to appoint a 27th man for their game Monday after the teams completed a game earlier in the day that had previously been suspended June 26. With Horn serving as the Red Sox's 27th man, he'll likely head back to Triple-A immediately after Monday's contest.

Greene is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Greene will get a breather for the final contest of a four-game series. He has recorded a hit in four straight games, going 6-for-17 with eight runs scored, three walks, one home run and four RBI over that span. Zach McKinstry will start in left field and bat seventh against White Sox right-hander Davis Martin.

The Red Sox optioned Winckowski to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Winckowski tossed a scoreless inning Monday versus the Blue Jays in the resumption of a game that was previously suspended June 26, but he'll be send down to the minors ahead of Monday's regularly scheduled contest. Justin Slaten (elbow) was reinstated from the injured list to take Winckowski's spot on the active roster.

Massey is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Maikel Garcia will step in at the keystone in place of the lefty-hitting Massey, who will hit the bench for the nightcap while the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the bump. Massey played all nine innings of the Royals' 4-3 win in Game 1, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

Frazier is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Though he won't end up starting in either game of the twin bill, Frazier came off the bench in the Royals' 4-3 win earlier in the day and played three innings in right field while striking out in both of his at-bats. The lefty-hitting Frazier could be a deployed off the bench once again in the nightcap once Cleveland southpaw Logan Allen exits the contest.

The Red Sox activated Slaten (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Slaten has been shelved since just before the All-Star break with right elbow inflammation, but he's been cleared to return after allowing one run while retiring one batter in his lone rehab appearance. The righty has been an excellent find for the Red Sox as a Rule 5 pick, having collected a 3.38 ERA and 45:9 K:BB over 42.2 frames.
