Monasterio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. Monasterio will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with each of his absences coming while Boston has faced right-handed starting pitchers. Though Monasterio appeared to have temporarily taken over as the Red Sox's preferred shortstop when Trevor Story (sports hernia) landed on the injured list last weekend, interim manager Chad Tracy recently said that Marcelo Mayer will serve as the team's primary option at the position while Story is shelved. Monasterio should continue to be a regular part of Boston's lineup against lefties as the designated hitter, but he'll have to vie with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Sogard for playing time at second base against right-handed pitching while Mayer is occupying shortstop.

Heading to bench Wednesday
Monasterio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Monasterio looks to be the Red Sox's preferred option at the position while Trevor Story (sports hernia) is stuck on the injured list. Monasterio had started each of the last six games -- four at shortstop, two at designated hitter -- and went 6-for-22 with three doubles and a run during that stretch.
Makes fourth straight start
Monasterio started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 in Monday's 3-1 win over Kansas City. Monasterio made a fourth consecutive start at shortstop as a fill-in for Trevor Story (groin), who could be facing surgery. The Red Sox have a few options to deploy at shortstop, but thus far interim manager Chad Tracy has only used Monasterio. He's slashing .256/.301/.397 with eight doubles, one home run, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 83 plate appearances.
