Danny Jansen - Out of lineup MondayJansen (forearm) is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Los Angeles.

ImpactJansen will miss Monday's contest after exiting Sunday's matchup with Mariners early due to a left forearm contusion. He can be considered day-to-day for the time being with Alejandro Kirk replacing him at catcher and batting seventh in the series opener with the Dodgers.

Cal Raleigh - Takes seat MondayRaleigh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Kolten Wong - Losing work at second baseWong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

ImpactWong went 1-for-6 with a walk, a stolen base, a run and an RBI while starting the final two games of the Mariners' weekend series with the Blue Jays, but he's now found himself on the bench five times in eight contests overall. He's been out of the lineup four times against right-handed pitchers during that stretch, which suggests he's lost hold of a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Julio Rodríguez - Swipes first base of second halfRodriguez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

ImpactRodriguez inched to within two steals of the 25 he recorded as a rookie a year ago when he took second base in the seventh inning. The pilfer was the outfielder's first since July 9, but he's still stuck in a post-All-Star-break malaise that includes a .188 average, .281 slugging percentage and 33.3 percent strikeout rate over 39 second-half plate appearances.

Mike Ford - Smacks two-run blast SundayFord went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

ImpactFord started at designated hitter and took Alex Manoah deep in the second inning for his second homer in the last four games. The journeyman slugger has cooled off in terms of hitting for average over his first 10 post-All-Star-break games -- he's hitting just .222 and has an accompanying .300 on-base percentage over that span -- but he's also posted an impressive .593 slugging percentage thanks to lacing four of his six hits for extra bases.
