Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment. Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

Lowe went 1-for-4 in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Lowe was back in the lineup after getting a breather Sunday in favor of prospect Justin Foscue, which was notable. Given the plight of the Rangers, who are 9.5 games back of the final wild-card spot, the club may use the final month of the season to develop its younger talent, and Lowe could lose playing time as a result.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with two two-run home runs and a sacrifice fly during Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Freeman notched his first multi-homer performance of the campaign, pushing the first baseman over 20 long balls for an eighth consecutive year, discounting the shortened 2020 campaign. Freeman has gone yard in three of his last four games, going 6-for-15 (.295) with 10 RBI and four runs scored during that stretch. The 34-year-old boasts a .880 OPS in 549 plate appearances.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.

Arraez had a hand in each of the Padres' three runs and swiped second base in the third inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has tallied five multi-hit efforts with a homer, seven RBI and two stolen bases. On the year, he is hitting .310 with four home runs, 41 RBI, 71 runs scored and a career-high eight steals across 583 plate appearances.

France went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 5-3 win against the Astros.

France got a hit in all four of his at-bats Monday, making it his second career four-hit game and the first since 2021. France has been a solid piece for the Reds since acquiring him in July. The 30-year-old is hitting .284 in 29 games with the Reds after struggling to a .223 average in his first 88 games of the season with the Mariners.

Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Naylor took reliever Kris Bubic deep in the sixth inning for his 29th home run of the season. Naylor reached 100 RBI for the first time in his career with the long ball. The 27-year-old now joins Aaron Judge and teammate Jose Ramirez as the only three players this season to eclipse the century mark. Naylor has multi-hit efforts in four of his last five games following a 10-game stretch during which he went 2-for-35.

Gurriel was lifted from Monday's game against the Guardians in the eighth inning due to right hamstring tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel doubled in his third plate appearance of the day but pulled up lame into second base. The 40-year-old had been dealing with a hamstring strain while at Triple-A Gwinnett before being traded to the Royals, and he has aggravated the injury in just the second game with his new club. Interim manager Paul Hoover said after the game it's considered a "super mild strain" and implied that Gurriel is day-to-day.

Mountcastle (wrist) has yet to resume swinging a bat, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde admitted Monday that while Mountcastle's sprained left wrist is feeling better, he has "no idea" regarding a potential timetable for the first baseman's return. Mountcastle initially suffered the injury Aug. 22 before landing on the 10-day injured list Aug. 26. Ryan O'Hearn and Emmanuel Rivera have been handling first base with Mountcastle out.

Walker (oblique) will rejoin the Diamondbacks for this week's series in San Francisco, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

It would appear he will be activated from the 10-day injured list during the series, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. Walker has been working out at the team's spring training complex in Arizona and got in some live at-bats over the weekend. The first baseman has been sidelined since late July with a left oblique strain.

The Reds designated Smith for assignment Monday.

Smith went 5-for-26 with four runs scored and 11 strikeouts over nine games during his time as a Red. He still holds a .691 OPS on the season through 307 plate appearances and could contribute for another team down the stretch, though he would not be eligible to play in the postseason. Ty France will presumably take over as Cincinnati's primary first baseman.
