  • Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Dispatched back to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Seigler to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Seigler has batted only .194/.292/.210 with zero home runs over 34 games and had made just one start in September. He's being sent out in order to clear space on the active roster for the return of Rhys Hoskins (thumb).

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Could play rehab games this weekend

    Westburg (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Previous updates on Westburg's recovery from a right ankle sprain suggested that he was likely to have begun playing in rehab games by now. While that hasn't happened, it appears to be around the corner. The infielder could be back on the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. He's been sidelined since late August.

  • Pedro Ramirez 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Strong showing at Double-A

    Ramirez is hitting .278 with eight home runs, 28 steals and a 15.2 percent strikeout rate in 127 games for Double-A Knoxville.

    The switch-hitting infielder has split the year between second and third base for the Smokies, and while he hasn't hit for much power (.108 ISO, .386 SLG), Ramirez has still been 17 percent better than the average Southern League hitter while being the fifth-youngest qualified hitter in the league. He cut his groundball rate from 53.8 percent at High-A last year to 48.9 percent this year at Double-A, but that rate is still too high if Ramirez is to get the most out of his raw power. Ramirez may begin his big-league career as a reserve infielder, but his speed and contact skill make him worth tracking in dynasty leagues.

  • Charles McAdoo 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Strong second half for Fisher Cats

    McAdoo is slashing .278/.359/.498 with 13 home runs, 20 steals and a 26.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 67 games for Double-A New Hampshire.

    The 23-year-old corner infielder had a .550 OPS over his first 48 games this year for the Fisher Cats, so it's been a tale of two seasons for McAdoo. A third baseman by trade, McAdoo saw more time at first base (11 starts) than he had in previous seasons, so he'll have to at least produce enough offense to make up for poor defense at third base or a move to first base. He's up to 179 career games at Double-A, so the righty-hitting McAdoo should head to Triple-A for the start of the 2026 season.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Blasts two bombs in blowout win

    Lewis went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Monday's win over the Angels.

    Lewis delivered a big night Monday, clubbing two home runs for his second multi-homer game of the year and first since July 20. It's been a challenging season overall for the 26-year-old, as injuries have limited both his availability and effectiveness. Through 88 games, the third baseman is slashing .237/.293/.406 with 16 doubles, 12 home runs, seven steals, 44 RBI and 33 runs.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Belts homer in win

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Chapman has gone 9-for-18 with three homers and six RBI over his last five games since he was ejected from last Tuesday's game in Colorado. He still has an active appeal for a one-game suspension from that contest, though it's possible he could drop the appeal to sit out a game when he's next due for rest. The third baseman is up to 21 homers, 56 RBI, 66 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .241/.351/.457 slash line through 111 games this season.

  • Blue Jays' Orelvis Martinez: Shut down at Triple-A

    Triple-A Buffalo placed Martinez on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.

    Martinez hadn't played since Aug. 31 due to the injury before Buffalo deactivated him. The 23-year-old had a brief cup of coffee in the majors last summer, but after being issued an 80-game suspension shortly after his promotion, Martinez hasn't resurfaced in Toronto. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Buffalo and hasn't made much of a case for a call-up while slashing just .176/.288/.348 with a 28.5 percent strikeout rate across 393 plate appearances.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Activated from IL, starting Monday

    The Dodgers activated Muncy (oblique) from the 10-day injured list, and he'll start at third base and bat out of the cleanup spot against the Rockies on Monday.

    Muncy landed on the 10-day IL in mid-August due to a right oblique strain. He went 2-for-7 with two walks in three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and the veteran third baseman has progressed enough in his recovery to return to the Dodgers' lineup for Monday's series opener. Catcher Chuckie Robinson was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Losing reps to Alexander

    Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

    Blaze Alexander is starting at third base Monday, marking the third time over the last four contests versus right-handed pitching that he's started at the hot corner. Lawlar is 4-for-22 with a 9:0 K:BB in seven games since being recalled from Triple-A Reno.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Headed for brief stint on IL

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he expects Bohm (shoulder) to return from the injured list in the minimum 10 days after the third baseman was deactivated Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Edmundo Sosa and Triple-A Lehigh Valley call-up Otto Kemp will enter the lineup at shortstop and third base, respectively, in Monday's game against the Mets, as the Phillies will break in two new starters in the infield with Bohm and Trea Turner (hamstring) landing on the IL. Though Turner may not be ready to return until shortly before the postseason, Bohm looks like he'll be headed for a shorter absence after he had been playing through pain in his non-dominant (left) shoulder in recent days. According to Gelb, Bohm was determined to be dealing with a cyst that needed to be drained and will be further treated with an injection, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to resume baseball activities after a few days of rest. Bohm is on the IL for the second time this season, after a fractured left rib kept him out of commission for about a month shortly after the All-Star break.
