Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

The Rockies are expected to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Amador will provide Colorado with more infield depth once the move becomes official ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Baltimore. He spent five games with the Rockies earlier in the year, going 3-for-10 with one home run, six RBI and five runs.

Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

Lee provided all of Detroit's offense in the lopsided loss with a sixth inning solo shot, his eighth home run of the season. The rookie, who started at third base Monday before shifting over to second, has settled into a regular infield role recently for the Tigers. Detroit is now sitting at 63-74 and falling out of the playoff race, which means Lee is likely to hold onto the increased playing time, with veteran Gleyber Torres in line to see his opportunities decrease. Lee has played well so far at the MLB level and is only boosting his fantasy stock heading into 2027, when he could be a full-time starter to begin the year.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Altuve will hit the bench for the first time since Aug. 12, ending a streak of 15 consecutive starts. He'll be spelled at second base by Nick Allen, who will bat eighth.

Walton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

After making starts in the middle infield for the final two games of the Athletics' weekend series versus the Orioles, Walton will hit the bench for the first of three contests in Arlington. Jeff McNeil will cover the keystone and Darell Hernaiz will draw the start at shortstop Monday.

Ramirez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers due to back spasms, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Ramirez is hitting .333 with two runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last seven games, but he'll be held out Monday with the back issue. It remains to be seen whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup.

The Marlins recalled Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

The 24-year-old Serna will hit the big leagues for the first time and will provide the Marlins with some added depth in the middle infield after second baseman Xavier Edwards (thumb) was placed on the injured list. Over 337 plate appearances with Jacksonville on the season, Serna slashed .218/.300/.364 with 11 home runs and 14 stolen bases.

Nunez will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Marlins.

Nunez had been slated to receive a day off, but he will enter the lineup after CJ Abrams (back) was scratched. The speedy Nunez is slashing only .215/.296/.251 this season but leads all of baseball with 43 stolen bases.

The Tigers could reduce Torres' playing time down the stretch, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

John Peck has been called up and will be given ample playing time at shortstop. That will push Kevin McGonigle to third base most days and could result in Hao-Yu Lee seeing the lion's share of reps at second base. Torres has been productive this season when healthy, slashing .261/.364/.383. However, he's an impending free agent and the Tigers, with the playoffs looking like a long shot, want to give younger players a longer look. Torres is starting Monday's game in Minnesota at second base and is batting leadoff.

The Diamondbacks activated Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte is back in the Arizona lineup Monday, starting in the designated hitter spot and batting cleanup in the series opener against the Phillies. The 32-year-old was a no-show for the Diamondbacks' Aug. 17 game against the Red Sox, which led to him being placed on the restricted list initially before he was moved to the IL with left knee inflammation.
