  • Tigers' Gio Urshela: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Urshela isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

    Urshela will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going just 3-for-27 with two RBI over his last 10 games. Zach McKinstry will start at the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out for season

    Rengifo underwent season-ending surgery on his wrist Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Rengifo landed on the injured list Saturday due to right wrist inflammation -- the second time this season his wrist has caused him to spend time on the IL. The timing of his procedure will put an early end to his 2024 campaign, but he is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. He'll finish with a .300/.347/.417 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI and 24 steals across 78 games.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Lee (shoulder) is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cubs.

    Lee sat out the past two games while dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's matchup at Wrigley Field. The 23-year-old has struggled at the plate since the All-Star break with a .229/.309/.229 slash line in 13 games.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Reinstated from injured list

    The Angels activated Rendon (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 34-year-old is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf due to lower-back inflammation. Rendon will have to wait a day before seeing game action, however, since Tuesday's game was postponed into a doubleheader Wednesday.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    Royals' Paul DeJong: On bench again

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    DeJong started at third base in four of the Royals' first five games after being traded from the White Sox, but he's now been withheld from the starting lineup for back-to-back contests. Maikel Garcia will play the hot corner while Michael Massey plays the keystone.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Taking seat Tuesday

    Mayo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

    Mayo started the Orioles' first three contests following his promotion, going 0-for-9 with a 5:2 K:BB. He'll begin this one on the bench as Ramon Urias gets the start at third base.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Pops 15th homer

    Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday against the Rangers.

    Bregman popped his 15th home run of the season in the third inning, which was also his third long ball in his last 10 starts. Though his power has picked up, he's otherwise struggled at the plate in that span by going 7-for-42 with three RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Bregman's performance has improved over the last two months -- he hit .310 in June and .263 in July -- but his counting stats are still lagging from his norm.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Moves to cleanup

    Jung batted fourth and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over Houston.

    Jung, who slotted seventh then sixth in his first several games since coming off the 60-day injured list, was moved to his highest spot in the order Monday. After going a sluggish 1-for-10 over his first three games back, Jung has hit safely in three straight, going 4-for-10 with two doubles and a home run.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Smacks walk-off homer

    Smith went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Monday's 4-3 victory over Houston.

    The Texas utility man won the game in the 10th inning with his 410-foot, two-run homer off lefty reliever Caleb Ferguson. This is Smith's first extra-base hit since taking over the leadoff spot from Marcus Semien on July 29. In seven games since then, the 26-year-old is batting .233 (7-for-30) with eight strikeouts and no walks. Overall, Smith is now slashing .278/.369/.442 with 12 homers, seven steals, 50 runs scored and 48 RBI across 408 plate appearances.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Has three hits, two steals in loss

    Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two runs and two stolen bases in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Ramirez had himself another impressive showing, tallying three more hits in what is now his seventh multi-hit game since the All-Star break. His RBI double in the first inning was his 25th of the season, making it his fifth season with 25 doubles and 25 home runs, which is tied for fourth most in franchise history. The 31-year-old is in the midst of yet another impressive all-around campaign hitting .282/.334/.545 with 29 homers, 94 RBI and 24 stolen bases through 109 games.
