Orioles' Coby Mayo: Remains out Monday
Mayo (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
Mayo wasn't able to play in either leg of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers because of lower-back discomfort, and he'll remain out of action for Monday's series opener versus the Rays. Per Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said that Mayo is feeling improved Monday and he doesn't anticipate the infielder needing a stint on the injured list.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Will get imaging during coming week
Stanton (calf) is slated to undergo imaging in the next week, per MLB.com.
Stanton has been hitting and doing plyometric exercises, but he's yet to clear the big obstacle of being able to run. Should the imaging look good, the slugger could be ready for the next step in his rehab. Stanton hasn't played in a game since April 24, so he'll probably need a rehab assignment before returning to the Yankees' lineup.

Royals' James McArthur: Undergoes elbow surgery
McArthur (elbow) underwent surgery Friday to help combat continued soreness and inflammation, MLB.com reports.

There's no timeline for the right-hander's return to action, as his recovery from the surgery and how he feels in the near future will dictate the next steps in the rehab process.
