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

McMahon will head to the bench for the first time since making his team debut July 26 and going 9-for-32 (.281average) with two doubles, five RBI and three runs through his first nine starts. Though he'll be taking a seat Monday while left-hander Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers, the left-handed-hitting McMahon won't necessarily be used as a strict platoon player.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Monday that Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his strained right hamstring and will treat the injury through rest and rehab in an attempt to return from the 10-day injured list later this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Brown noted that Paredes was given the option of undergoing surgery to address the severe hamstring strain or rehabbing the injury instead, and the 26-year-old opted for the latter route. Though surgery would likely provide a more permanent fix for his hamstring, a procedure would carry a recovery timeline of six-plus months, which would have put Paredes' availability for the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy. Even though Paredes will attempt to resume baseball activities once the PRP injection takes effect, the Astros' acquisitions of infielders Carlos Correa and Ramon Urias ahead of last week's trade deadline suggest that they aren't banking on Paredes providing much of a contribution down the stretch. The Astros are unlikely to put a timeline on Paredes' return from the IL until he begins taking part in full activities.

Jung (calf) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Yankees.

Jung missed each of the previous four contests with a sore calf, but he's feeling well enough to at least serve as a hitter in Monday's series opener. The 27-year-old is slashing .367/.424/.567 with two home runs in nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on July 21.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Ramirez belted his 23rd home run of the year in the first inning Sunday. He's gone deep in two straight games and has 10 long balls over his last 26 appearances. Ramirez has also collected multiple hits in six of his last 10 appearances, vaulting his season average up to .302. He now owns a .910 OPS with 46 extra-base hits and 61 RBI through 108 games.

The Orioles claimed Brujan off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The 27-year-old was designated for assignment Wednesday and will now go back on the 40-man roster for a new organization in the Orioles, who shipped off a number of players ahead of the trade deadline. Brujan appeared in 36 games with Chicago this season and maintained a .222/.234/.289 slash line in 47 plate appearances. He's likely to fill a utility role for Baltimore.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting McKinstry will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Phillies send another southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill. With McKinstry on the bench, Javier Baez will cover shortstop, and Matt Vierling will serve as the Tigers' starting center fielder.

Rojas will start at second base and will bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Angels.

He will cover second base Sunday while Chase Meidroth (thumb) is on the bench for the third game in a row, but Rojas could be in store for regular playing time at third base once Meidroth rejoins the lineup. Rojas had started in each of the previous three contests, going 2-for-10 with a solo home run, a double and a walk.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

After missing three straight games due to a hand injury, Moncada returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-9 with a walk and a run while starting at third base in each of the subsequent three contests. With the Angels bringing back Christian Moore (thumb) from the injured list Sunday, he'll step in at second base while Luis Rengifo shifts over to the hot corner, leaving no room in the lineup for Moncada. In an effort to open up steady at-bats for all of Moore, Moncada and Rengifo, the Angels could opt for something resembling a three-man committee between the second- and third-base spots for the foreseeable future.

Jung (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Jung finds himself on the bench for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage calf soreness. Josh Smith will pick up another start at the hot corner, opening up first base for Rowdy Tellez.

The White Sox placed Vargas on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

Vargas was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 1-0 win due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least another nine days, though he doesn't have an official timeline for his return. Curtis Mead was called up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move and could see time at first base while Vargas is out.
