Holliday (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Holliday will miss a second straight start as he deals with groin tightness. He is considered day-to-day for the time being. Jeremiah Jackson will again cover second base in Holliday's stead.

Gray is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

On the bench for a third straight game against a right-handed starting pitcher, Gray appears to have lost hold of his strong-side platoon role at shortstop. The Twins will once again turn shortstop over to the hot-hitting Ryan Kreidler, who has earned himself more opportunities by producing an .880 OPS since Minnesota recalled him from Triple-A St. Paul on May 14.

Romo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Though the White Sox kept him on the big-league roster and optioned Edgar Quero to Triple-A Charlotte to make room for Kyle Teel's (hamstring/knee) return from the 60-day injured list, Romo will be headed for a reduction in playing time while Teel settles back in as Chicago's clear No. 1 catcher. Romo produced an .857 OPS in his first month with the White Sox after receiving a promotion from Triple-A on April 25, but he's fallen off badly since the start of June, slashing .071/.100/.107 with a 29 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that the team hopes DeLauter (rib) will be ready to return during its June 26-July 5 homestand, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Working his way back from a small fracture in his right rib cage, DeLauter has resumed hitting, running and throwing. Vogt does not have a specific target date for DeLauter's activation from the 10-day injured list, but it seems it could happen as soon as this weekend.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Gonzalez will head to the bench while the White Sox go with Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery as their starters in the corner infield Monday. Since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 30, the left-handed-hitting Gonzalez has mostly been spared from matchups with left-handed pitching but has still struggled to a .167/.273/.229 slash line over 55 plate appearances. Gonzalez will likely be headed back to Charlotte once Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Southpaw Anthony Kay is on the bump for the White Sox, so Kwan will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Daniel Schneemann and Kahlil Watson. Kwan is batting a career-worst .206 on the season and has been especially brutal against left-handed pitching, slashing .171/.289/.211 over 90 plate appearances.

Watson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Southpaw Anthony Kay is on the bump for the White Sox, so Watson will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Daniel Schneemann and Steven Kwan. Since being called up from Triple-A Columbus last Wednesday, Watson has gone 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts while drawing starts in four of six games.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Southpaw Anthony Kay is on the bump for the White Sox, so Schneemann will retreat to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Kahlil Watson and Steven Kwan. Schneemann is coming off a rough weekend series in Houston, where he went 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts to bring his season average down to .213.

Bautista (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

It will be the first time Bautista has throwing off the mound since he underwent right shoulder surgery last August to repair a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff. The Orioles have not ruled out the possibility of Bautista rejoining the bullpen before the end of the season.

Vazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Toronto.

After serving as the Astros' primary option behind the plate for about six weeks, Vazquez has moved down to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart following Yainer Diaz's return from the injured list last Tuesday. In the Astros' ensuing six games, Diaz has made four starts to Vazquez's two.
