Gelof went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and was caught stealing in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Gelof contributed to the Athletics' blowout win Monday with his second homer and second double of the season. His 2025 campaign has been derailed by wrist and rib injuries, keeping him in the minors more than the majors to this point. Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, the 25-year-old is 7-for-27 (.259), with all four of his extra-base hits and five of his six RBI on the year coming during the seven-game stretch.

Rivas hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays.

Rivas was called up earlier in the day as rosters expanded to 28. He didn't start, but he pinch hit for Jorge Polanco in the ninth inning and provided the Mariners' lone runs in the lopsided loss. The homer was the first of his big-league career Rivas hadn't played in the majors since May 29 after a middling stretch of action early in the campaign. The infielder is slashing .295/.419/.361 with six RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and a double over 74 plate appearances. Rivas is likely to fill a reserve role around the infield, with his best chance of playing time coming at second base if he can challenge the duo of Polanco and Cole Young.

Gray went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Gray's first two homers of the season have come over his last three games, though that stretch dates back to Aug. 22. The infielder hasn't been able to carve out consistent playing time despite being with the big club throughout August. He's at a .200/.243/.400 slash line with five RBI, four runs scored, no stolen bases and one double across 37 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Schmitt (elbow) underwent X-rays, which came back negative, following Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt exited Monday's contest in the top of fifth inning after being struck by a pitch in the right elbow, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. The second baseman is considered to be day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest in Colorado.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

Urias drew the start at second, where he has become a mainstay for the Astros, and clubbed his second homer with his new club. The 31-year-old opened the contest's scoring with a 361-foot blast off Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi in the second. Since joining Houston from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Urias has batted .300 (18-for-60) with six RBI and five runs scored across 21 games.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

The Houston veteran tallied his team's final two runs with a 374-foot round tripper off Los Angeles reliever Brock Burke in the eighth. This marks the sixth time in his 15-year career that Altuve has reached the 24-homer plateau, with the last occurrence happening in 2022. The 35-year-old is now slashing .274/.337/.459 with 73 runs scored and 68 RBI in 570 total plate appearances.

Schmitt exited Monday's game against the Rockies after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt appeared to take a 95 mph sinker from Chase Dollander off the right wrist or forearm. He took his base but was removed in favor of Christian Koss following a Patrick Bailey strikeout. Prior to leaving, Schmitt went 0-for-1 at the plate with the hit-by-pitch. Consider him day-to-day for now.

The Dodgers activated Kim (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Back to full health after he had been on the shelf since July 28 due to shoulder bursitis, Kim will join the Dodgers following a nine-appearance rehab assignment in which he slashed .324/.368./412 with a 3:10 BB:K and a stolen base. During his time in the majors this season, Kim has seen playing time at second base, shortstop and center field, but he saw three starts in left field during his rehab assignment and could emerge as an option at the position with the Dodgers in September. Michael Conforto has served as Los Angeles' primary left fielder this season, but he's mustered a lowly .628 OPS through 414 plate appearances.

Edwards was ejected from Monday's game versus the Nationals in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards' plate appearance to lead off the contest ended on a groundout to the catcher, and he evidently said some choice words to home plate umpire Brennan Miller to warrant a quick ejection from the game. Javier Sanoja took Edwards' spot at second base in the bottom of the first inning.

Donovan (groin) went through a full workout Monday and will do so again Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

If he's able to get through Tuesday's workout without any issues, Donovan could then be sent out on a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since mid-August with a left groin strain but could be activated from the 10-day injured list within the next week or so if all goes well.
