MLB Player News

Seigler will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rockies.

Seigler will cover second base for the third game in a row and appears set to receive an extended look as an everyday player while after Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) recently joined the likes of Trevor Story (sports hernia), Romy Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) and Nick Sogard (oblique) on the shelf. Over parts of two seasons in the big leagues between Milwaukee and Boston, Seigler has produced a .192/.286/.219 slash line with zero home runs and one stolen base across 85 plate appearances.

Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) will resume a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Gonzalez has been out all season following left shoulder surgery, and he had to have his rehab assignment paused over the weekend due to a sore left hip flexor. He is feeling well enough to return to action Tuesday, and Gonzalez could rejoin Boston's active roster before the end of June.

Crochet (shoulder/lat) has not yet been cleared to resume a throwing program following a scheduled re-evaluation Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Crochet's left shoulder and lat are "improving," but not enough that he's ready to throw. Crochet landed on the injured list in late April with left shoulder inflammation and then encountered a setback in early June when he sustained a low-grade left lat strain. The southpaw has been throwing a plyometric ball, but a timetable for his return won't become clearer until he ramps up a throwing program.

Basallo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Basallo will get a well-earned breather after starting each of the previous 10 contests, including the last four at catcher. It will be Sam Huff doing the catching and batting ninth in Monday's series opener.

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.
