Lowe went 1-for-1 with a solo homer in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Phillies.

Lowe returned after missing the last three games with an injury to his middle finger and hit a game-tying blast in the ninth off Carlos Estevez in his first at-bat back. It was Lowe's 17th homer of the year and his first since Aug. 18. Injury issues have limited Lowe to just 90 games this season, but he's having his best offensive campaign since 2021. The Rays have a $10.5 million club option ($1 million buyout) for Lowe in 2025.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Lopez and fellow left-handed batters Gavin Sheets and Dominic Fletcher will head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the hill for the series opener. Jacob Amaya will fill in for Lopez at shortstop.

Julien is absent from Monday's lineup against the Angels.

With the Halos sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound Monday, the lefty-hitting Julien will retreat to the dugout. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat sixth.

Paris (lower body) has slashed .103/.133/.276 with a 1:12 BB:K in seven games since being activated from Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list Sept. 1.

Paris had been out of action for nearly two months before he returned to the Salt Lake lineup. The 22-year-old has struggled to find a rhythm at the dish since being activated and is now holding down a weak .641 OPS with three home runs and five stolen bases over 111 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2024.

Lowe (finger) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is toeing the rubber for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Lowe might not have started Monday even if his finger injury is no longer a concern. In any case, with Lowe on the bench for a fourth straight game, Jose Caballero will pick up another start at second base.

Holliday is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After getting off to a fast start initially upon his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on July 31, Holliday has stumbled to a .139/.208/.200 batting line with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 20 games. Livan Soto will start at second base and bat ninth for the Orioles on Monday.

Valdez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Valdez had started in three of the last four games but will take a seat against a left-hander. Romy Gonzalez draws the start at second base Monday. There had been speculation that Ceddanne Rafaela would move to the keystone with Trevor Story's return from the 60-day injured list Sunday, but that has not developed yet. It could, but early on with Story taking back over as the Red Sox's everyday shortstop, second base has been covered by Valdez against righties and Gonzalez against lefties.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Polanco got in on the fun of the Mariners' 13-hit barrage with a fifth-inning shot off Steven Matz with Justin Turner aboard, extending Seattle's lead to 9-2 at the time. Polanco snapped a nine-game homer drought with the round tripper, which was also just his second hit in the last eight contests. The 31-year-old notably went down on strikes in his other three plate appearances Sunday, pushing his strikeout rate to a career-worst 30.6 percent and highlighting one of the primary culprits behind his career-low .204 average, .296 OBP and .643 OPS.

Horwitz went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer in Sunday's extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

Horwitz didn't get the start Sunday with lefty Chris Sale on the mound for the home side, but he pinch hit for Leo Jimenez in the eighth inning and launched a go-ahead homer off Joe Jimenez, only for Atlanta to tie it up in the bottom of the ninth and walk it off in the 11th. Horwitz was viewed as a hit-over-power prospect in the minors, but he's changing that perception in his first extended look at big-league pitching. The 26-year-old has gone yard three times in the last two games, and through 311 MLB plate appearances in 2024 he's slashing .274/.360/.467 with 12 homers and 34 RBI.

Gelof went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers.

Gelof has posted a steal in back-to-back contests and has hit safely in five straight games. Over eight games in September, he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with three thefts. The second baseman has had a rough first full campaign in the majors, though a hot September wouldn't be unusual, as he slashed .273/.350/.455 over his last 28 games in 2023. This year, he's at a .209/.272/.369 slash line with 16 home runs, 22 steals, 44 RBI and 54 runs scored through 120 contests.
