Max Muncy SS | ATH
Athletics' Max Muncy: Launches eighth homer
Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta.
Muncy has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 11-for-32 (.344) with three homers, three doubles and six RBI in that span. The infielder capped a five-run first inning for the Athletics with his blast. Muncy is up to a .222/.268/.404 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven doubles and one stolen base through his first 50 major-league games. It's unclear if Muncy will have a regular spot in the lineup once Miguel Andujar (oblique) completes his rehab assignment.

Nathan Eaton LF | BOS
Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Heading to Worcester
The Red Sox are expected to option Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) due to return from the injured list Wednesday, Eaton will end up as the man left without a place on the active roster. The 28-year-old is 6-for-24 in the majors this year with one RBI, five runs scored and three steals through 14 games, and his defensive versatility gives him a better chance to return to the Red Sox later in the year.

Angels' Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent
Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Keeps raking Monday
Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the White Sox.
The 25-year-old took Sean Burke deep in the sixth inning, one of three Toronto homers off the right-hander on the night. Barger is up to 12 long balls on the season, including four in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles, six runs and 12 RBI.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Cranks three-run bomb
Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Astros.
The switch-hitter delivered a three-run homer off Colton Gordon in the fifth inning to provide the power Monday. Ramirez came into the contest in a slump, batting just .139/.225/.222 with one extra-base hit and three RBI over his previous 10 games. Despite the recent struggles, he continues to post strong overall numbers, slashing .298/.361/.495 with 33 extra-base hits (15 home runs), 42 RBI and 22 stolen bases through 86 games.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Goes deep in win
McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rays.
McKinstry launched his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning, which was one of three Detroit long balls on the night. The veteran utility player continued his strong recent play, as he's now batting .344 over his last 10 games with three home runs, four RBI and eight runs scored. Overall, McKinstry is sporting a .285 batting average and an .819 OPS, both of which are significantly above his career marks of .233 and .678, respectively.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return this week not ruled out
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bregman (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list "sooner rather than later," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
According to Cora, Bregman "feels great" and will go through "heavy" workouts Monday and Tuesday. Cora did not rule out Bregman being activated later this week during the team's series against the Rays, but a lot will depend on how the third baseman bounces back from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts. Bregman has been sidelined since late May due to a strained right quad.

Tristan Gray SS | MIN
White Sox's Tristan Gray: Summoned from Triple-A
The White Sox recalled Gray from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Gray has spent the entire 2025 season at Charlotte, slashing .280/.349/.493 with nine home runs across 62 contests. The White Sox selected Gray's contract Saturday to add him to the 40-man roster, and the 29-year-old will now join the 26-man active roster after Ryan Noda (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday in a corresponding move. Gray is likely to be used mostly in a reserve role while he's up with the big club.

Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS
Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Sitting out third straight
Mayer is again absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.
The Red Sox are facing a lefty (Austin Gomber) for the third straight day. The lefty-swinging Mayer has been out of the lineup for all three contests, though he did receive two plate appearances off the bench in Sunday's win over the Nationals. Mayer is 4-for-22 with a 7:0 K:BB early on versus southpaws at the big-league level. Nate Eaton is again at third base Monday.
