Burleson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Burleson is slashing only .188/.215/.238 versus lefty hurlers, so the Cardinals will give him some rest as the Brewers send southpaw Shane Drohan to the hill. Blaze Jordan will slide across the diamond to first base, and Jose Fermin will occupy the hot corner.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Trammell will head to the bench after he went 4-for-21 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs while starting in the Astros' last seven games. Brice Matthews will replace Trammell in center field and will bat ninth.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Uceta has yet to resume throwing and will meet with a doctor to have his nagging right shoulder injury examined, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Uceta has been limited to four rehab appearances due to a right shoulder strain and has remained shut down since he suffered a setback in late May. It's unclear whether surgery to address the injury is a possibility, but even if a procedure isn't on the table, Uceta is nowhere close to being ready to pitch in a game.

The Astros optioned Delgado (finger) to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Delgado will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to fellow infielder Braden Shewmake (adductor), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. During his latest stint in the big leagues, Delgado appeared in appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 with a double, a walk and a run. Delgado exited early in a start during last Wednesday's loss to the Twins due to dislocated pinkie finger on his right hand, but he made a pinch-hitting appearance and played an inning at shortstop in Friday's loss to the Rays and should be ready to handle an everyday role at Sugar Land.

Wade will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Wade will pick up a third straight start in left field, despite going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the final two games of the Astros' weekend series versus the Rays. After the Astros sent Joey Loperfido back to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Wade looks like he'll have an opportunity to solidify himself as a strong-side platoon player in the Houston outfield.

Chisholm (toe) will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Rays.

Chisholm was lifted from Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Twins due to right big toe discomfort, but X-rays returned negative and he won't have to miss a start. The 28-year-old enters play Monday having posted just a .433 OPS across his last 10 games.

The Astros reinstated Shewmake (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Monday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series opener in Washington, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Shewmake is back with Houston after a right adductor strain kept him on the shelf for just over a month. The 28-year-old completed a four-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Sugar Land over the past week, going 3-for-11 with two doubles, three walks and one stolen base. Shewmake could temporarily supplant Nick Allen as the Astros' preferred option at shortstop, though both will be relegated to bench roles when Jeremy Pena (calf) likely makes his return from the IL later this week.

The Nationals recalled Henry from Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

Washington optioned right-hander Eddy Yean to Triple-A following Sunday's 11-5 loss to Pittsburgh to clear a spot on the active roster and in the bullpen for Henry. The 26-year-old righty has previously made 10 appearances for Washington this season, logging a 6.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB in 12 innings.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

The Nationals will give Ruiz a break for the series opener after he went 2-for-3 with a double and a run while catching six innings of Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Pirates. Drew Millas will step in for Ruiz behind the plate and will bat eighth.

Young (hand) will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Astros.

He'll make his return to the starting lineup after a sore left hand kept him on the bench for all three games of the Nationals' series versus the Pirates over the weekend. Before getting hurt, Young had been in the midst of an extended rough patch at the plate; he slashed just .154/.214/.231 with two stolen bases, three RBI and two runs over a 13-game stretch dating back to June 15.
