Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Absence continuing Tuesday
Baldwin (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Baldwin hasn't seen the field since Aug. 27 due to a right hand injury, and he's absent from the starting nine once again Tuesday. It's unclear when the 24-year-old will return to the lineup, but the lack of IL move indicates he should still be considered day-to-day.

Gleyber Torres 2B | NYY
Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Tallies three hits Monday
Torres went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Monday's 8-4 win against Texas.
Torres kicked off the scoring in the contest with a two-run double in the third inning. He had two additional hits for his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 26. Torres has been hitting well for the past few weeks, slashing .327/.393/.490 with two homers, nine RBI and nine runs over his past 12 games.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Getting rest Monday
Sogard isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Sogard has gone 2-for-16 with seven strikeouts over his last five contests, and the Red Sox will now give him a chance to clear his head Monday. Enmanuel Valdez will pick up a start at the keystone as a result while batting eighth.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out again Monday
Baldwin (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.
Baldwin hasn't played in nearly a week while battling a right hand injury. The hope is that he'll be ready to go Tuesday, but it's not a given he's back in the lineup. Jacob Amaya and Nicky Lopez will form the White Sox's double-play combination Monday.

Jackson Holliday SS | BAL
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Swipes another bag
Holliday went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.
Holliday has three steals this season, all of which have come over the last five games. The 20-year-old hadn't used his speed much earlier in the campaign, though that was partly due to rarely getting on base in his first stint in the majors. Holliday now has a .180/.235/.331 slash line with five home runs, 20 RBI, 24 runs scored, two doubles and two triples over his first 40 big-league games. The Orioles' laundry list of injuries will help Holliday stay in the lineup, but he'll likely remain at the bottom of the order unless his bat gets hot.

Andres Gimenez 2B | CLE
Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Pops homer Sunday
Gimenez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.
Gimenez gave the Guardians an early lead with his first-inning solo shot, one of four homers for the team in the win. The second baseman has struggled to hit for power in 2024, but he has two homers over his last three games. He's gone 10-for-39 (.256) over his last 10 contests and now has a .251/.301/.335 slash line with seven homers, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 129 games this season.

Zack Gelof 2B | OAK
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Belts pair of doubles Sunday
Gelof went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.
Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base by the Athletics, who parlayed 16 hits into only four runs. However, the young infielder did cash in on one of the two times he came to bat with runners in scoring position, driving in Seth Brown with his 10th-inning double to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Gelof's third in the last eight games, one of the better stretches of hitting for him during a season in which his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Royals' Adam Frazier: Shifting to bench role
Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Frazier will take a seat for the fourth game in a row and looks to have moved into a part-time role. He had been serving as the Royals' primary option in right field after Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) landed on the injured list, but waiver pickup Tommy Pham now looks poised to handle those duties.
