Jung snapped an 0-for-19 skid with two hits in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The Rangers are letting Jung get experience over the final month regardless of the results, which have been a mixed bag. "We're seeing Josh at this level. And it's given us information and we'll just see where that leads to, but he has to see the game with this level and see where he fits in," Texas interim manager Tony Beasley said. A hopeful sign is that seven of Jung's 12 hits have gone for extra bases, but an area to work on is a 28:2 K:BB. The organization's hitting coaches will address the decrease in walks and increase in strikeouts over the winter and into spring training, and the Rangers don't sound overly concerned by the slump in Jung's first exposure to major-league pitching.

Henderson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, three walks and an additional run scored in a 14-8 win against the Red Sox on Monday.

Baltimore slugged four homers as a team between the sixth and seventh innings, and Henderson hit the longest among those with a 428-foot, two-run shot to center field. The talented rookie also drew three free passes, a high mark so far in his brief career. This may prove to be a big confidence-building performance for Henderson following his first significant major-league dry spell -- he had gone 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his previous four games.

LeMahieu (toe) took part in defensive drills and batting practice prior to Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

LeMahieu's exact timetable for a return remains unclear, but it's reassuring that he's continuing to ramp up baseball activities. According to Rivera, the Yankees will re-evaluate the infielder in the coming days to determine the next steps in his rehab. The club remains optimistic that LeMahieu will be ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the regular season.

Urias (neck) isn't in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

Urias has been in and out of the lineup with spasms in his neck area since he was scratched early from Friday's game against Houston. While he sits, Rougned Odor will start at second base and bat seventh.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Suarez (finger) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Suarez was placed on the IL on Sept. 17 due to a small fracture in the tip of his right index finger, but after he was able to take swings without any discomfort over the past few days, he looks like he'll be ready to go when Seattle kicks off a three-game series with Texas on Tuesday. Dipoto noted that Suarez will likely serve as the Mariners' designated hitter Tuesday, so expect Carlos Santana to head to the bench for that contest.

Castro isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Kevin Newman will play second base in the series opener. Castro has excelled in his last 11 games, hitting .273 with three home runs, nine RBI and three walks.

Reynolds will start at first base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Pirates.

He'll be included in the lineup for the fifth straight contest, including his third start in a row at first base while Donovan Solano (eye) remains sidelined. Since returning from the 10-day injured list Sept. 9, Reynolds is slashing .333/.429/.375 with three RBI and one run in 11 games.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Detroit.

The White Sox were unable to generate much offensive production Sunday, but Moncada accounted for the team's lone run with his home run to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning. He has three extra-base hits over his last five games, and he's gone 3-for-20 with two solo home runs, a double, a walk and four strikeouts over that stretch.

Longoria went 1-for-1 with two RBI in Sunday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Longoria pinch hit for Ford Proctor in the top of the eighth inning Sunday and came up big with a two-run single to put the Giants up 3-1. The veteran has settled into a platoon role of late and does not have much fantasy appeal at this point in his career, but the big hit Sunday keeps the Giants' playoff hopes alive.

Davis went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two doubles in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Davis had a big day Sunday as he recorded three extra-base hits, including a solo shot in the top of the ninth inning to put the Giants up 3-1 and provide a much-needed insurance run. The four hits ties a career high and is good for his third multi-hit effort this month. He is slashing .250/.341/.417 with 10 home runs, 33 RBI and 42 runs scored through 331 plate appearances this season.
