    Athletics' Luis Urias: Succumbs to back issue

    Urias was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after one inning due to lower back spasms, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Urias started at second base and played the opening frame before Gio Urshela came off the bench to replace him in the top of the second. The 28-year-old's turn in the batting order didn't come up before he was pulled from the game, so the back injury presumably cropped up while he was playing defense. The Athletics are off Monday, so Urias will have some extra time to recover before the team opens a three-game series in Washington on Tuesday.

  • Scott Kingery 2B | CHC

    Angels' Scott Kingery: Heading to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Kingery to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    Kingery was called up by the Halos last weekend but didn't pick up a start during his week in the majors. The 31-year-old is batting .160 (4-for-25) with a double and a stolen base in 14 big-league games this season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Returns from IL

    The Angels reinstated Moore (thumb) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat eighth Sunday versus the White Sox.

    Moore has been sidelined for the past month due to a thumb sprain but will rejoin the 26-man active roster after going 5-for-11 with two doubles and a home run during a four-game rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire. In his first 18 MLB games prior to the injury, the 22-year-old had yet to get on track for the Halos with a .189/.302/.396 slash line and 31.2 percent strikeout rate, though he has showcased his power potential with three long balls.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Nabbing third straight start

    Jackson will start in right field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Jackson has been put to work since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, as he'll pick up his third consecutive start Sunday. The 25-year-old has produced three base knocks in his first six at-bats with Baltimore, but he's nonetheless expected to see his playing time take a hit once Tyler O'Neill moves past an illness and Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is activated from the injured list, which could happen later this week.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Demoted to Triple-A

    The Blue Jays optioned Jimenez to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Though the Blue Jays brought back Alejandro Kirk (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday, Tyler Heineman is day-to-day with a head injury, so the team will carry a third backstop in Ali Sanchez. As a result, Jimenez ended up being the roster casualty. The 24-year-old infielder had been seeing sparse playing time, making just one start over the previous 10 contests.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Cleared to start Sunday

    India (forearm/wrist) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    India suffered a left wrist/forearm contusion when he was struck by a pitch in the third inning of Saturday's 4-2 loss, but he apparently made enough progress overnight to rejoin the lineup for the series finale. With India occupying the DH spot, the Royals will have Adam Frazier pick up a start at the keystone.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Slugs 13th home run

    Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Phillies.

    Torres has started August with home runs on consecutive days to get to 13 long balls for the season. The veteran has been on a more extended power binge with four home runs over his last six games. Torres offers good pop for a middle infielder, and he also has a strong .277/.374/.433 slash line across 99 games in what's been a productive debut campaign with the Tigers.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Fields grounders Saturday

    Bliss (biceps) took grounders on the field ahead of Saturday's game against the Rangers, per MLB.com.

    Bliss is recovering from a left biceps tear, which has kept him sidelined for nearly four months. At this point, the Mariners are hoping that the 25-year-old second baseman will be able to at least return by the end of the season, so he's increasingly unlikely to have any fantasy relevance in 2025. The lefty-hitting Cole Young should continue to serve as Seattle's primary option at the keystone in Bliss' stead.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Reaches 10-homer mark

    Schneemann went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

    Schneemann had gone 14 games without a homer, batting a modest .238 (10-for-42) in that span, but he ended the power drought in the third inning. Schneemann had been seeing a decent share of playing time in right field, but the promotion of C.J. Kayfus will likely lead to Schneemann slipping into more of a utility role. He has primarily played against right-handed pitchers this season, logging just 43 of his 286 plate appearances against southpaws. The 28-year-old hasn't done enough to earn a larger role, slashing .226/.312/.397 with 10 homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, 13 doubles and eight stolen bases across 89 games.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Saturday

    Urias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Urias will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going 1-for-2 with a walk and an HBP during Friday's contest. While he rests, Max Schuemann will start at second base and bat eighth.
