Gorman went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Rockies.

Gorman went 3-for-12 with four RBI during the three-game series in Colorado. The infielder provided a blast as part of the Cardinals' six-run fifth inning, giving them their first lead of the contest. Gorman is batting .186 with a .590 OPS, nine homers, 31 RBI, 22 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 73 games this season. He is working on the strong side of a platoon at third base, sharing the position with Ramon Urias.

Muncy (illness) will bat eighth at the designated hitter Sunday against the Nationals.

An illness forced Muncy's removal from Saturday's starting lineup, but he is evidently feeling well enough to give it a go Sunday night against lefty Andrew Alvarez. The 36-year-old Muncy has hit 20 of his 26 homers this season against righties but has more than held his own against same-side pitching as well (.794 OPS).

The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Wisdom will give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to outfielder/infielder Michael Arroyo, who was called up from Tacoma. Over two separate stints in the majors this season, Wisdom has slashed just .106/.160/.191 with 21 strikeouts in 50 plate appearances.

White (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

White hasn't played since the Athletics' 8-5 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday, when he exited in the second inning due to lower-back tightness. The Athletics' resistance to move White to the injured list suggests that he's still being viewed as day-to-day, though it's unclear if he's realistic candidate to make a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday. White's ongoing absence will continue to open up extra playing time for Alika Williams, who will stick in the starting nine for a sixth straight contest.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The left-handed-hitting Baty will retreat to the bench for the second time in the series while the Giants send a southpaw (Cesar Perdomo) to the hill. For the season, Baty is slashing just .171/.275/.229 (49 wRC+) in 80 plate appearances against lefties.

Whitcomb is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The Giants will hold Whitcomb out of the lineup for the second time in the series and will go with Osleivis Basabe at third base. Despite getting ample playing time since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, Whitcomb has gone just 5-for-38 (.132 average) with one home run, three RBI and two runs over 13 games.

Alexander will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Since being reinstated from the injured list Aug. 28, Alexander has now picked up eight starts in 11 games while occupying four different positions during that span. Alexander is hitting .300 since his activation, but all nine of his hits have been singles, and he's provided few counting statistics (three runs, one RBI and one stolen base).

The Pirates optioned Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The 24-year-old started Saturday against Angels southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, going 0-for-1 with a walk before being replaced by a pinch hitter. Yorke collected four hits with a double, a stolen base and six RBI in his first two games after being called up in mid-August, but he's gone 3-for-20 across the ensuing 11 contests and has now lost his place on the MLB roster. Ronny Simon was recalled from Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez appears to be receiving a planned day off after he had started the previous 12 games, including both ends of a doubleheader Friday. Angel Genao will check in at third base in place of Ramirez, who has gone 3-for-23 with one run and no RBI through the first six games of September.

Hayes will test out his strained left groin by running the bases in Cincinnati on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Hayes is eligible for activation at any point after landing on the 10-day injured list Aug. 28, but it's unclear how soon he might rejoin the Reds. The defensive-minded third baseman had been one of the majors' worst-performing hitters in 2026 prior to landing on the shelf, slashing just .153/.213/.250 with five home runs, one stolen base, 19 runs and eight RBI across 211 plate appearances.
