    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

    Bregman gave the Astros an early lead with his first-inning homer. He's gone deep three times over his last five games while adding seven RBI and five runs scored in that span. The third baseman is up to 26 homers this season, his most in the last five years. Bregman has added 74 RBI, 79 runs, three stolen bases and a .257/.314/.449 slash line over 143 contests this season.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Placed on paternity list

    The Rangers placed Duran on the paternity list Tuesday.

    Duran will be allowed to miss up to three games while he spends time with his growing family, and he's expected to take over for Josh Jung (wrist) as the Rangers' primary third baseman once he returns. In the meantime, Dustin Harris and Matt Duffy will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to help replenish Texas' infield depth.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Placed on injured list

    The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist tendinitis.

    Jung's wrist has kept him sidelined for nearly a week, and his move to the IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the season. With Ezequiel Duran away on paternity leave, Matt Duffy and Dustin Harris will come up from the minors and may see time at third base during the final week of the season.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Getting rest Tuesday

    Duran isn't in Texas' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    After going 6-for-13 with an RBI during the Rangers' last series against Seattle, Duran will catch a breather to begin Tuesday's series opener. In his absence, Jonathan Ornelas will start at third base and bat ninth.

  • Josh Rojas 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Getting rest against southpaw

    Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

    The left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the lineup Tuesday while southpaw Framber Valdez starts on the mound for the Astros. Dylan Moore will man the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | OAK

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Recalled Tuesday

    Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Hernaiz was optioned at the end of August after playing in 20 games in his return from the 60-day injured list. He now rejoins the big-league club after posting an .836 OPS in Triple-A since then. In a corresponding move, Ryan Noda was optioned to Double-A Midland.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Absent from lineup

    Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

    Sosa had started each of the previous 10 games at second base but will begin this one on the bench. Nicky Lopez will handle the keystone and bat leadoff for the White Sox.

  • Jace Jung 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Playing time drying up

    Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    Jung has now been absent from the Tigers' lineup for seven of the last 10 games. The rookie has just a .675 OPS and 31.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 31 big-league contests. Zach McKinstry is handling third base Tuesday as manager A.J. Hinch continues to mix and match at the hot corner.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Done for season

    The Rangers are expected to place Jung (wrist) on the 10-day injured list, ending his season, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Jung hasn't played since last Wednesday due to recurring discomfort in his surgically repaired right wrist. He is scheduled to be seen by a hand specialist Thursday in hopes of getting more information on the injury. Ezequiel Duran has started three of the last four games at third base and should continue to be the primary option at the position in the final week of the season. The Rangers are expected to promote either Dustin Harris or Sam Huff from the minors to take Jung's spot on the 28-man active roster.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits in loss

    Clement went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    Batting second Sunday and getting another start at shortstop in the absence of Bo Bichette (finger), Clement continued a strong September that has seen him slash .292/.301/.389 in 18 games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs. The 28-year-old infielder should retain a regular spot in the lineup over the final week of the season, and he's positioned himself for a prime role in the Blue Jays' 2025 plans.
