Anderson is hitting .308 with two home runs in six games since getting promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 11.

Anderson has had a breakout year and slashed .306/.358/.499 with 14 home runs and a 14.6 percent strikeout rate in 90 games for Double-A Erie prior to his promotion. He will always be a hit-over-power player, but Anderson has hit for enough power this year to give himself a chance to make it as an everyday second baseman. If Gleyber Torres leaves in free agency this offseason, Anderson and fellow prospect Hao-Yu Lee could earn playing time at second base in 2026.

Young went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 12-7 loss to the Phillies.

The four RBI were a season high for the rookie infielder, who blasted his fourth big fly of the season. With Ryan Bliss (biceps) still likely several weeks away from going on a rehab assignment, Young should remain Seattle's primary second baseman moving forward. Even so, Young is slashing a lukewarm .247/.333/.363 with 23 RBI and 22 runs scored through 209 plate appearances, so his fantasy appeal has remained limited.

Sosa went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 13-9 win over Atlanta.

Sosa tied a season high in RBI and also launched his 17th long ball of the season. While he has just 14 walks across 108 games, Sosa remains one of the lone bright spots for the last-place White Sox this year. The 25-year-old infielder is hitting a healthy .274 with 16 doubles, 54 RBI and 42 runs scored through 391 at-bats.

Triple-A Buffalo placed Jimenez on its 7-day injured list Aug. 7 due to an unspecified injury.

After being optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 3, Jimenez appeared in just two contests for Buffalo before being shut down with the injury. Jimenez is without a clear timeline to return to action for Buffalo.

The Astros announced Monday that Rodgers (concussion/nose) has continued his running, throwing and hitting programs at the team's facility in Florida, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The team hasn't confirmed that Rodgers has exited concussion protocol, so until that happens, he won't be available to head back out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Rodgers was initially placed on the injured list June 18 due to a left oblique strain, but he's made a full recovery from that injury and is instead working his way back from the concussion as well as a broken nose, which he suffered in a July 18 rehab game with Triple-A Sugar Land.

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

Dubon had started in each of Houston's last three games -- twice at shortstop and once at first base -- but he'll hit the bench as the Astros kick off a three-game set in Detroit. Though his versatility has allowed him to handle a near-everyday role for Houston since about mid-May once injuries began to take a toll on the roster, Dubon could see fewer opportunities over the final six weeks of the season while the Astros move closer to full strength. Houston could get a big bat back in the lineup as soon as this weekend in Yordan Alvarez (hand), whose return to action as the Astros' primary designated hitter would likely result in Jose Altuve picking up more starts at second base at Dubon's expense.

Jackson went 3-for-5 with three runs in Sunday's 12-0 win over the Astros.

Though the Orioles got some reinforcement in the outfield Sunday with the return of Colton Cowser (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, Jackson ended up sticking in the lineup over Dylan Carlson. While making his fourth start in five games, Jackson finished second on the team in hits and is now batting .333 through his first 13 games with Baltimore. The Orioles are likely to prioritize playing time for Cowser and prospect Dylan Beavers over Jackson, the 25-year-old could continue to poach work from Carlson at the other spot in the outfield if he's able to remain hot at the plate. Both Jackson and Carlson could see their opportunities decline when or if Tyler O'Neill (wrist) returns from the IL, however.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged Sunday that Campbell has been productive at Triple-A Worcester of late, but the skipper suggested that the 23-year-old still has work to do before earning another promotion to the majors, Jenn McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. "The same things that he struggled here [in the majors] with -- pitch recognition, covering certain shapes of fastballs," Cora said. "That's something that is hard, because he's not going to get that down there. The [velocity] here is harder. It's faster. Locations are on point here."

Campbell is hitting .323 with a .943 OPS in 26 games for Worcester since the All-Star break, but Cora outlined the areas where the infielder can improve. While an injury to another infielder could open the door for Campbell to rejoin the big club, the rookie otherwise might have to wait until the roster expands in September before getting another call-up to Boston.

Sosa went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Royals.

Sosa went deep in his first at-bat of the game to tally his 15th home run of the season. That continued his power tear in August, as Sosa now has six home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored across 15 games played. Sosa has recently flipped from playing second base to first base, but he should be in for regular at-bats down the stretch unless the White Sox decide to give Curtis Mead additional playing time.

Holliday went 2-for-4 with three runs scored, one RBI and two walks in Sunday's win against the Astros.

Holliday knocked an RBI single and scored a run in the fifth inning. He later drew a walk and scored a run in both the seventh and eighth frames. He went 4-for-14 (.286) with a home run and five runs scored in the three-game set against Houston this weekend. Sunday was Holliday's first multi-hit performance since July 30; he went 8-for-55 (.145) in 14 games since then. He's now slashing .249/.303/.390 with 55 runs scored through 116 games.
