Lawrence Butler - Not starting Monday Butler is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Monday.
Impact Butler has a .188 batting average over 106 plate appearances against southpaws this season, so he'll begin Monday's game in the dugout as the Red Sox send Garrett Crochet to the mound. Tyler Soderstrom, Colby Thomas and Brent Rooker will start in the outfield from left to right for the Athletics. Butler has logged at least two hits in five of his last 10 games, and over that span he has gone 13-for-38 (.342) with six runs, two homers and five RBI.

Impact Rivero is assuming the roster spot vacated by Logan O'Hoppe and is starting Monday's game against the Twins. It will be the 26-year-old's first action at the major-league level since 2022. Rivero has hit .264/.309/.429 with nine homers in 68 contests this season with Salt Lake.

Logan O'Hoppe - Goes on concussion injured list The Angels placed O'Hoppe on the 7-day concussion injured list Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact O'Hoppe had to be removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after being struck in the head by the backswing of Jacob Wilson, and after going through tests it has been determined he suffered a concussion. He will be eligible for activation Sept. 16, but it's an uncertain timeline to return anytime a concussion is involved. Sebastian Rivero has been added to the roster and is starting at catcher Monday against the Twins, but it will be Travis d'Arnaud seeing the bulk of the action behind the dish while O'Hoppe is out.

Impact Adell left in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Athletics after experiencing nausea, but the 26-year-old outfielder has been cleared to play in Monday's series opener. He earned the American League Player of the Week award after going 11-for-27 (.407) with one steal, five home runs and 12 RBI over his past seven games.
