The Athletics placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee chondromalacia.

Muncy's 2026 season has come to a close with him landing on the 10-day injured list. He finished the year with a .230/.296/.387 slash line and nine home runs across 284 plate appearances in 82 games. In corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

McMahon is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays.

McMahon should be back in there for the nightcap, but he'll begin Tuesday's matinee on the bench. Jose Caballero will cover third base for the Yankees in the first game of the twin bill.

The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.

He missed a couple games last week with thumb soreness, and subsequent testing revealed a sprain. The injury will bring an end to the season for Keith, who finishes with a .258/.322/.406 batting line and 10 home runs over 140 contests for the Tigers. Gleyber Torres and/or Eduardo Valencia could handle designated-hitter duties for the Tigers in the final week while Keith is out.

Lee went 3-for-4 with three runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Angels.

Lee logged three singles, marking his eighth contest of the season with three-plus hits. Through 18 games in September, the infielder is hitting .290/.320/.377 with a homer, five RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base. On the year, Lee is slashing .253/.301/.430 with 23 homers, 81 RBI, 71 runs and eight stolen bases in 150 contests.

Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

Encarnacion-Strand started the previous nine games and will receive a day off after posting a .901 OPS during that span. Coby Mayo will shift to third base while Samuel Basallo serves as the designated hitter, which allows Carlos Narvaez to pick up a start behind the plate.

Loftin went 4-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh.

Loftin matched a season high with four hits, all singles. Saturday marked just his second multi-hit effort of September, as he's slashing .255/.317/.364 with a homer, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base across 17 games this month. On the year, the utility man has a .240/.324/.382 line with seven homers, 43 RBI, 41 runs and three stolen bases in 115 contests.

Jung went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Jung, who was back at third base after two games as the designated hitter, putt the Rangers out front early with a first-inning home run. It was his second homer in the last three games and 11th overall for Jung, who has raked since coming off the injured list a little more than a week ago. He's 10-for-29 (.345) with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored over his last seven games.

Vargas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a stolen base, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Vargas accounted for much of the White Sox's offense in a pivotal win. He reached base on a free pass in the first inning and then stole second before coming around to score. Vargas then led off the sixth frame with his 33rd homer of the season. He also swiped his 20th base of the campaign, his seventh since the start of September.

Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Garcia will take a seat Saturday after going just 1-for-11 with a walk and two RBI in three games since returning from the IL. While he rests, Nick Loftin will start at third base and bat sixth.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates.

Garcia went to the opposite field for a two-RBI double in the third inning, though he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. It marked the third baseman's first hit since returning from a left hamstring strain, as he's gone 1-for-11 (.091) across three games. Injuries have hampered the 26-year-old all season, and Garcia has struggled to build on his breakout 2025, slashing .262/.318/.378 with three homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs and five stolen bases over 76 contests in 2026.
