The Brewers signed Bae to a minor-league contract and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.

Bae was part of the Brewers' taxi squad to begin the day but ended up being activated after shortstop Cooper Pratt (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list shortly before first pitch. With Pratt on the shelf, Joey Ortiz (neck) and David Hamilton are expected to serve as the Brewers' main options at shortstop, while Bae will bolster the club's bench. The 27-year-old has seen big-league action in each of the previous four seasons but had spent the entire 2026 campaign at the Triple-A level in the Mets organization before he was released earlier this month. Bae produced a .257/.360/.368 slash line with five home runs and 36 steals in 91 games at Triple-A and made starts at second base and all three outfield positions.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Lopez had started the last five games, but the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench against southpaw Cade Povich. Justin Foscue will step in for Lopez at second base and bat sixth.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Ramirez will head to the bench for a third straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, although the rookie still looks set to retain a regular spot against lefties. Tyrone Taylor will bat ninth as the center fielder Sunday while Pete Crow-Armstrong gets a day off from playing defense but stays in the lineup at designated hitter.

Grissom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Grissom will get his first day off of the second half after producing a .250/.296/.382 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs while starting in each of the Angels' last 20 games. Adam Frazier will step in for Grissom at second base and will bat ninth in the series finale.

Meidroth is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians due to left wrist discomfort, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The White Sox aren't viewing the wrist issue as anything more than a day-to-day concern, and Meidroth is expected to return to the starting nine following Monday's off day. Sam Antonacci will fill in at second base Sunday.

Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-handed hitter is on the bench for the fourth straight game, with the Athletics having faced lefty starters each time. Opener Erik Miller is likely to work only an inning or two for the Red Sox on Sunday, so Walton could still end up playing most of the contest.

Palacios went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Palacios' two-run single in the sixth inning ended up being the difference in the contest. The 29-year-old has gone 4-for-12 with four RBI over six games in August, and he's now started five straight games at second base. On the year, Palacios is batting .231 with a .682 OPS, five home runs, 10 steals, 34 RBI, 33 runs scored, nine doubles and two triples over 277 plate appearances.

Holliday went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Texas.

Holliday accounted for Baltimore's entire scoring output Saturday, and it's worth noting he's hit third in the lineup in consecutive games. The infielder was hitless in 18 previous at-bats to begin August, which makes for a disappointing start to the month after he hit .368 and turned in a .500 on-base percentage in July. Holliday is slashing a career-best .242/.349/.388 with six homers, six doubles, 21 RBI and five stolen bases over 212 plate appearances this year.

Simon went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a steal during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Simon recorded his first RBI of the season when his double in the first inning brought both Spencer Horwitz and Bryan Reynolds home. Simon also registered his first steal of the year in the third inning before coming home to score later in the frame. The 26-year-old outfielder has started in each of Pittsburgh's last three games and will continue to see extended reps for as long as both Oneil Cruz (hand) and Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) are on the IL.

Lowe went 1-of-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Saturday's game was already out of reach for the Mets, but Lowe added to the blowout with a solo home run in the seventh inning. It was his second homer in three games and 25th of the year, marking his third major-league season with at least 25 home runs. Lowe has an .807 OPS with two steals and 74 RBI over 490 plate appearances this season.
