    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Belts homer in loss

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Ramirez has gone 16-for-65 (.246) over 17 contests in August, though he's also posted an 8:8 BB:K while adding five homers and five steals this month. The third baseman doesn't have to hit for a high average to remain productive in nearly every other category. For the season, he's at 26 long balls, 36 steals, 66 RBI, 81 runs scored, 23 doubles, two triples and a .291/.365/.518 slash line through 122 contests. His .883 OPS is his highest since 2021, though he hasn't been under .800 for a whole year since 2015.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Remaining on bench

    Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    It's the third straight game on the bench for Jung, who has a .179/.238/.308 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in August. Josh Smith will instead man third base while Rowdy Tellez receives another start at first.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Sitting out with sore ankle

    Westburg (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Westburg exited Monday's contest with right ankle discomfort, so it's not a surprise he's sitting out Tuesday, especially with the Orioles having an off day Wednesday. He's considered day-to-day. Luis Vazquez is starting at third base and batting eighth Tuesday.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Getting day off Tuesday

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that McMahon will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    McMahon will get his second day off overall and first day off against a right-handed starter (Shane Baz) since he was acquired from the Rockies on July 25. Jose Caballero will play third base and bat ninth Tuesday.

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Snaps mini-skid

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Ramirez's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, the second-longest slump of the season for the third baseman. The steal was his 36th of the season.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Belts 12th homer in win

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Texas.

    Garcia has put together a five-game hitting streak, and he now has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 outings. The 25-year-old speedster is enjoying a career season in 2025 -- Garcia is slashing .302/.363/.473 with 12 homers, 56 RBI, 59 runs scored and 22 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances. He's also three RBI away from establishing a career-high mark.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Dealing with ankle discomfort

    Westburg left Monday's game against Boston due to right ankle discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Westburg is likely being taken for further testing after being forced from Monday's clash. Luis Vazquez entered the game in Westburg's place at third base Monday and could be in line for additional opportunities going forward if the 26-year-old is forced to miss more time, though Coby Mayo and Jeremiah Jackson would also factor into the mix for at-bats. The team believes Westburg's injury to be mild, per Kostka.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Exits early Monday

    Westburg left Monday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Westburg suffered the injury while scrambling back to first base after making a hard turn towards second, and after being checked out by the team trainer, it was determined that he couldn't continue. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more news on the severity of the injury.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Sitting Monday

    Rengifo is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Monday.

    Rengifo will be absent from the Halos' lineup for the third time in four games despite going 12-for-39 (.308) with two steals, two triples, 10 runs, two homers and six RBI since the beginning of August. Christian Moore will start at second base for Monday's series opener and bat seventh.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Out of lineup again Monday

    Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Royals.

    It's the second straight day Jung has been out of the lineup, though he did appear as a pinch hitter in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. Jung is in a 5-for-35 drought at the dish and will once again yield the hot corner to Cody Freeman.
