Bichette went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mets' 6-2 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

Bichette extended the Mets' lead to 4-0 in the third inning with a solo homer off Joey Cantillo. It was the 11th long ball of the season for Bichette but his first since June 24 against the Cubs. His slash line has taken a notable dip in his first year with the Mets, and since the All-Star break, he has a .261 batting average with three RBI in 74 plate appearances.

Chapman (abdomen) is scheduled to be evaluated by a specialist next week, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

MRI imaging confirmed Monday that Chapman suffered a core muscle injury, and manager Tony Vitello said Tuesday that the veteran third baseman may require surgery, per delos Santos. A timeline for Chapman's return will likely emerge following his doctor's visit, but he could be lost for the season if he goes under the knife.

Yorke (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Tuesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Yorke is currently on the Triple-A injured list and hasn't played since June 17 due to a shoulder issue. The 24-year-old opened the season with the Pirates but slashed just .197/.279/.276 with four extra-base hits, six RBI, six runs scored and a 7:17 BB:K across 86 trips to the plate before being demoted.

Urias (elbows) has been sent to Triple-A Memphis to resume a rehab assignment, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Urias had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment a little over a week ago after being hit on the elbow by a pitch. He's been out since early May with tennis elbow in both arms but could return before the end of the month if he can avoid another setback.

The Cardinals recalled Prieto from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Prieto is grabbing the roster spot vacated by Lars Nootbaar, who was traded to the Diamondbacks on Monday. The 27-year-old Prieto has slashed .307/.373/.517 with 12 homers in 2026 at Memphis but has gone just 1-for-23 in his brief chances at the major-league level the last two seasons. He'll likely be used primarily off the bench.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

The Dodgers will hand the left-handed-hitting Muncy a night off while southpaw Matthew Boyd toes the rubber for the Cubs. Enrique Hernandez will fill in for Muncy at third base and will bat eighth.

Jordan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Jordan will hit the bench for the series opener while Jose Fermin picks up a start at third base. Since the All-Star break, Jordan has produced a .245/.275/.347 slash line with no home runs or stolen bases, eight RBI and three runs in 14 games.

San Diego acquired Workman and right-hander Casey Mize from Detroit on Monday in exchange for left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Workman will join the fourth organization of his career after stops with the Tigers, Cubs and White Sox. The 26-year-old was added to the Tigers' 40-man roster May 10 and struggled in his brief time in the majors earlier this season, batting just .158 while striking out in 16 of 38 plate appearances. Workman has been productive at Triple-A Toledo, however, posting an .868 OPS with 11 home runs and 20 steals in 82 games. The Padres haven't indicated if he'll head to Triple-A El Paso or report to the big club, where he could be a valuable bench piece due to his ability to play all three outfield spots and multiple infield positions.

The Marlins acquired Long and right-hander Jace Beck from the Cubs on Monday in exchange for left-hander Braxton Garrett, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Long had been blocked off at the Triple-A level while in the Cubs organization for the past couple seasons, but he's also seen a decline in his performance (108 wRC+) in 2026 compared to 2025 (131 wRC+). A righty-hitting first baseman and left fielder, Long is slashing .283/.364/.455 with 12 home runs and a 21.2 percent strikeout rate in 99 games as a 24-year-old.

Hayes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

Hayes homered for the second time in five games, giving him four over 58 contests. This was his first start in four games, as he's been sharing the hot corner with Eugenio Suarez. The Reds are likely to be sellers heading into Monday's trade deadline and have seven players on expiring contracts, including Suarez. Hayes could get more consistent at-bats if Cincinnati trades Suarez, but the former's unattractive .145 average makes him a difficult play in fantasy leagues.
