Monasterio is out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Miami.

Monesterio had started at shortstop in each of Boston's last 11 games, but he will get a breather Monday as the Red Sox open up a road trip. Nick Sogard has shifted over to shortstop in Monesterio's stead, and Anthony Seigler will grab a start at second base. Monasterio could soon be headed for a full-time utility role, as Trevor Story (sports hernia) is expected to take over as the Red Sox's primary shortstop once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list later this week.

Double-A Midland placed De Vries on its 7-day injured list Tuesday while he recovers from a sore right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The Athletics sent De Vries to their facility in Arizona to conduct his rehab and have shut him from throwing for four weeks, effectively bringing an end to his season. One of the top prospects in all of baseball, De Vries has spent his entire age-19 season at Midland, slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 home runs and 34 stolen bases over 431 plate appearances. Assuming DeVries is ready to start throwing without issue by the end of September, he could pick up some additional at-bats in fall instructionals and/or the Arizona Fall League. The switch-hitting infielder doesn't have much left to prove in the minors, so he should be ready to make his MLB debut for the Athletics early in the 2027 season.

Atlanta optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Jarvis has gone just 3-for-38 at the plate in August and had seen his playing time at shortstop taper off. Mauricio Dubon has been getting most of his reps at shortstop lately for Atlanta, and he should remain the primary option at that position.

Winn was slated to undergo a CT scan and an MRI on his injured left thumb Sunday night, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn injured list thumb while sliding into second base during Tuesday's game in Cincinnati. He attempted to play through discomfort Wednesday, but since then has been held out of the Cardinals' lineup for four straight contests. Winn is hopeful of returning to action Tuesday against the Orioles following a team off day Monday, but more will be known about his status after the imaging results are in. If Winn is forced to miss additional time, the Cardinals will likely continue to have JJ Wetherholt play shortstop while mixing and matching at second base.

Story (sports hernia) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during Boston's series in Miami, which begins Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Story, who hasn't played for the Red Sox since May 14, spent the last week on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-21 over six games. He finished up the assignment by playing two consecutive days in the field, which is typically a sign that a player is on the verge of coming off the IL. Once activated, Story is expected to be the Red Sox's primary starter at shortstop, although rest days will be built into his schedule initially.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

Duran made an immediate impact in his first plate appearance, taking Yusei Kikuchi deep for a 403-foot solo homer. The blast was his 14th of the season, matching the career high he established in 2023. After a rough start to August, Duran has started to heat up, going 7-for-13 with three free passes over his last four games.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals.

McGonigle did all he could to keep the Tigers in the game, including hitting his 14th home run of the season in the fifth inning. The young infielder has four of those long balls in 20 games this month, and he's also recorded 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts this year, making him a well-rounded fantasy asset. McGonigle continues to bolster his case for the AL Rookie of the Year award with his strong performance.

Rocchio went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Rocchio returned to the lineup after riding the bench the last two games. The steal was his 16th of the season and first since July 4. Rocchio has slumped since the All-Star break and entered Sunday with a .183 average over the last 30 games, which could lead to more starting opportunities for Angel Genao.

Adames suffered a left elbow injury in Sunday's contest against the Red Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Adames was removed from the game in the fifth inning, and the belief is that he sustained the injury in the first inning while sliding awkwardly into home plate. The 30-year-old finished his day having gone 1-for-3, and he's notched at least one hit in nine of his last 11 contests, batting .333 with three home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over that stretch. The Giants should have better idea of the severity of the injury after Adames gets a more thorough examination.

Adames was removed from Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The veteran shortstop made an awkward slide into home plate during the first inning, and while he initially remained in the contest, Adames was replaced in the field for the bottom of the fifth. Adames went 1-for-3 with a run scored before departing the contest and should be considered day-to-day for now.
