  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Stepping out of lineup

    Keaschall is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Keaschall will hit the bench after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he batted .320 (16-for-50) with three walks, two doubles, five steals, eight RBI and seven runs. Austin Martin will shift to second base while James Outman receives a start in left field.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Not in Seattle lineup

    Rivas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

    Rivas had started the last two games and four of the last five against right-handed pitching at second base, but he'll begin Tuesday's series opener versus righty Michael Wacha on the bench. Jorge Polanco is at second base and Dominic Canzone is in the designated hitter slot for the Mariners.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Absent from lineup

    Gelof is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

    It's the second straight game that Gelof has been absent from the lineup after he had started 17 straight contests. Darell Hernaiz will cover second base for the Athletics.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mariners.

    It's the second straight game that Frazier hasn't been in the lineup. The Royals are going with Mike Yastrzemski in left field and Jac Caglianone in right field in Tuesday's series opener.

  • Max Anderson 2B | DET

    Tigers' Max Anderson: Putting together impressive season

    Anderson is performing well in the minors this season and will play in the Arizona Fall League, where he'll focus on defense and finding a good positional fit, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson has a .296 batting average, 29 doubles, 18 home runs, 82 RBI and an .830 OPS in 115 games between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo this season. The 23-year-old, who primarily plays second and third base, has put himself into a position to potentially make his MLB debut at some point in 2026. Anderson will use the AFL assignment to focus on further developing his defensive versatility and finding the right fit, and if he continues to rake as well, his prospect stock should rise heading into next season.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Rangers' Dylan Moore: Nabs steal in loss

    Moore went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

    Moore is now 6-for-19 with two home runs and two steals over 12 games with the Rangers. He continues to occupy a part-time role as a utility player in a reserve role. For the season, he's logged 14 steals, 11 homers, 25 RBI, 34 runs scored and a .204/.266/.384 slash line across 100 games between Texas and Seattle.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Takes batting practice Monday

    Semien (foot) was spotted taking batting practice on the field Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    The team has yet to offer up a timeline for Semien's return after he went down with a broken left foot in late August, but it's a positive sign that he's progressed to taking on-field BP. Texas is a few games back from a wild-card spot, so the club would certainly welcome Semien back into the fold down the stretch if he's cleared for game action.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Back on bench Monday

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Dubon had started in three of the last four games and five of the past seven contests, but he'll likely be in line for a reduction in playing time over the final two weeks of the regular season now that Houston has most of its key position players available. He filled in for a banged-up Jose Altuve (foot) at the keystone in Sunday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta, but Altuve will be back in the lineup Monday.

  • Cody Freeman SS | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Idle for series opener

    Freeman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

    After going 7-for-25 (.280 average) with two doubles and three RBI while starting in each of the last seven games, Freeman will get a breather for the series opener in Houston. Dylan Moore will get the nod at second base at Freeman's expense.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Rejoining lineup Monday

    Altuve (foot) will start at second base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Altuve was held out for Sunday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta after he was still experiencing soreness on the bottom of his right foot following his early exit a day earlier, but the one start off appears to have provided sufficient healing time for the 35-year-old. The Astros' decision to use him at second base rather than at designated hitter in his return to the lineup supports the notion that he's feeling healthy heading into a six-game homestand against the Rangers and Mariners this week.
