Rosario went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, double, three RBI and two runs in Monday's victory over the Royals.

Rosario notched an RBI-double in the first inning, launched a solo home run in the third and then singled in another run in the sixth. The home run was his 11th of the year and first since Aug. 31. Since the beginning of the month, he had struggled to a .188 average with only two multi-hit efforts over 16 contests.

Miller is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Miller had started in three of Cleveland's last four games, but he'll likely see his opportunities against right-handed pitching take a hit over the final week of the season now that Amed Rosario has returned from the COVID-19-related injured list. The lefty-hitting Andres Gimenez should still sit against left-handed pitching, which will open up work for Miller at the keystone.

India went 1-for-4 with a double, two walks and a run Sunday in the Reds' 9-2 win over the Nationals.

The rookie closed the weekend series with Washington with doubles in three straight games, bringing his season total up to 32. India will be back atop the lineup for Monday's make-up game against the Pirates while manning his usual spot at second base.

Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over Baltimore.

The infielder opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Baltimore ace John Means in the fourth inning. Ibanez also scored in the eighth inning after reaching on a single. The 28-year-old has a decent .265/.312/.417 slash line with seven homers, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored and 12 doubles through 248 plate appearances. His multi-hit effort Sunday was his fourth in eight games since returning from a hamstring injury, though he has gone hitless in the other four contests in that span.

Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over Detroit.

The second baseman has recorded multiple hits in six of his last 13 games, although he's also posted 0-fers in four of those contests. Merrifield lifted his slash line to .280/.320/.398 with 10 home runs, 40 stolen bases, 72 RBI, 93 runs scored and 39 doubles through 688 plate appearances. The leadoff hitter has put together a solid year even though his .718 OPS is his second-lowest mark in six seasons in the big leagues.

Rojas will sit Sunday against the Dodgers.

Rojas sits after starting 11 of the last 12 games. He's gone hitless in each of his last three contests. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop, the position Rojas occupied most frequently over that stretch.

The Athletics placed Andrus on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a fractured left fibula.

This marks the end of Andrus' season. The veteran hit .243/.294/.320 with three home runs and 37 RBI in 541 plate appearances. Andrus remains under contract with Oakland and figures to be fully recovered by spring training in 2022.

Hoerner (general soreness) is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Hoerner was a late scratch for Saturday's game due to general soreness and will remain out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. Serio Alcantara will receive another start at shortstop in his place for the series finale.

Gimenez is not starting Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

The infielder hit a solo home run Saturday. It was his third home run in the last seven games, a span during which he's hit .333 with five RBI. Owen Miller starts at second base and bats seventh.

The Shortcode="annotation" data-id="306" data-text="Tigers" data-canon="Detroit Tigers" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="DET">Tigers recalled Short from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Short has hit .224 with three home runs since being optioned to Toledo on Sept. 3. He now fills the big-league roster spot of Victor Reyes (groin) and figures to serve as infield depth for the remainder of the regular season.
