Joc Pederson Out Of Monday's Starting Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson is out of Monday's starting lineup versus the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias.

Jarred Kelenic To Sit Out Versus Left-Hander

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Masataka Yoshida Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-handed slugger missed his first game of the season on Sunday for rest purposes. Now, Yoshida will return to the lineup and play left field while batting cleanup versus lefty Jalen Beeks.

Tyler O'Neill Gets The Day Off

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Sam Hilliard is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds.

Byron Buxton Takes Monday's Game Off
