MLB Player News

Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-0 win over the Yankees.

His first-inning blast off Jameson Taillon made history in a couple different ways. At 22 years old, Guerrero became the youngest player in Blue Jays history to slug 40 homers in a season, and with his Hall of Fame dad and namesake, he's also now part of one of the only two father-son duos in MLB history to each record 40-homer campaigns (Cecil and Prince Fielder being the others). Guerrero also extended his hitting streak to 14 games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting a blistering .414 (24-for-58) with four home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

His sixth-inning solo shot off Patrick Corbin gave the Mets a 3-2 lead, but unfortunately for his club, Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Alonso extended his hitting streak to six games with the performance, and over his last 24 contests he's batting .337 (32-for-95) with six of his 30 homers on the year as he tries to keep New York in the playoff picture.

France went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs in an extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

France crossed the plate in the fourth and 11th innings in the marathon victory. The 27-year-old has reached safely in seven of the last eight games, pushing his on-base percentage to an elite .363 across 127 games.

Bohm (wrist) is slated to visit with a doctor to determine the extent of his injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Bohm hasn't appeared in any games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley since Aug. 29 due to a sore left wrist. Although he's been able to participate in on-field work during pregame drills, he hasn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. A better idea of the 25-year-old's status will likely be revealed following his visit with a doctor.

Wade isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wade went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run and a stolen base across the last two games but will head to the bench with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. Kris Bryant will shift to left field while Mauricio Dubon enters the lineup in center.

Mountcastle (foot) will start at first base and bat second Monday against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

A sore foot kept Mountcastle on the bench for Sunday's 8-7 win over the Yankees, but his return to the lineup a day later suggests he was sidelined to close out the weekend mostly as a matter of precaution. With Mountcastle starting at first base and Cedric Mullins getting a rare turn as the Orioles' designated hitter, Trey Mancini will hit the bench Monday.

Cron isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants.

Cron will be out of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 5 after he hit .278 with four home runs, a double, seven RBI and three walks across the last 10 games. Joshua Fuentes will start at first base and bat seventh.

Smith was activated from the bereavement list but isn't starting Monday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Smith will be available off the bench in Monday's contest, but Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while Jonathan Villar starts at third base. Across his six appearances prior to his absence, the 26-year-old went 4-for-13 with a double, three RBI and a run.

Gittens (hamstring) was reinstated from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list Saturday, and he went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in his return to the starting lineup.

Gittens was sidelined for approximately two weeks with the hamstring injury. The 27-year-old has submitted a monstrous 1.160 OPS at Triple-A this season, but he likely won't be in the mix for a September call-up now that the Yankees have Anthony Rizzo and Luke Voit on hand to pick up work at first base.

Voit is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Voit is no longer a full-time player for the Yankees with Anthony Rizzo taking over primary duties at first base, but the former still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role at designated hitter. However, with the Yankees giving Giancarlo Stanton a break from outfield duties and having him serve as a DH in Monday's series opener, Voit will be forced to the bench as a result.
