  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Set for Monday return

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Muncy has been on the IL since Aug. 15 due to a right oblique strain and had his recovery program briefly slowed down by an illness, but he looks ready to rejoin the big club after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City from Thursday through Saturday while going 2-for-7 with two walks and a run. Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas have been sharing work at third base of late, but Muncy should step back in as an everyday option at the position once he's activated.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Could return Tuesday

    Manager Will Venable said Saturday he "wouldn't be surprised" to see Vargas (hand) be activated from the 10-day injured list during a three-game series against the Rays that starts Tuesday.

    Vargas has been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to a sprained left hand he sustained during a collision with a baserunner while playing first base. According to Venable, Vargas' rehab has been going well, and the 25-year-old could rejoin the active roster as soon as Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Closing in on 40 steals

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

    The Guardians made Shane Baz pay for the HBP in the fourth inning, as Ramirez stole second base and scored Cleveland's first run. The stolen base was his first in 16 games and 37th of the season, putting him within reach of a second consecutive campaign with at least 40 steals.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Scores lone run in loss

    Eaton started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Eaton doubled and scored Boston's lone run in the third inning. He made a second consecutive start in right field, as manager Alex Cora copes with the loss of Roman Anthony (oblique). Of note, Wilyer Abreu (calf) ran twice over the weekend and came out feeling good. He could be activated later this week, at which point he would become the primary starter in right field.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Adjusting defensively to outfield

    Alexander started at third base before moving to left field Saturday, going 0-for-3 with an RBI in a 5-1 win over Boston.

    Alexander made the defensive switch in the seventh inning. One inning later, he robbed Alex Bregman of a home run despite never having played the outfield in the majors before this past week. He's made three outfield starts and could soon gain fantasy eligibility at the position depending on league requirements. Alexander is slashing .234/.332/.431 with seven home runs, a .197 ISO and 22 RBI over 167 at-bats.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Smashes 43rd homer in rout

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-2 win over Atlanta.

    The homer was the 43rd of the season for Suarez and his seventh with the Mariners. The All-Star third baseman is running out of time if he wants to record the first 50-homer campaign of his career, and the move to Seattle has done no favors for his fantasy value. Suarez has been fine with a .751 OPS over 17 games on the road since joining the M's, but his .609 OPS across 16 outings at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park is significantly dragging down his appeal for home contests.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Not starting Saturday

    Hayes isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Mets.

    Hayes has gone 10-for-24 with a homer, six RBI and four runs scored across his last six contests. He'll catch his breath Saturday while Sal Stewart starts at the hot corner, batting seventh.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Not starting Saturday

    Clement isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Clement went 1-for-4 with an RBI during a win in Friday's series opener and will now retreat to the bench while Isiah Kiner-Falefa picks up a start at the hot corner, batting seventh.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Starts in right field

    Eaton started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 10-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Right field has become a problem for the Red Sox, who are dealing with injuries to Wilyer Abreu (calf) and Roman Anthony (oblique). In the two games since Anthony joined Abreu on the IL -- both against left-handers -- Rob Refsnyder and Eaton have filled the void. Saturday's game will provide a look as to how manager Alex Cora plans to fill the void against a right-hander (Brandon Pfaadt).

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Logs multiple hits in loss

    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Bregman's two-run double was part of a four-run eighth inning that pulled the Red Sox within a run before Arizona ran away in the bottom of the frame. He's slumped since his last multi-hit game on Aug. 22; Bregman entered the night batting .104 (5-for-48) with two RBI over the previous 12 games.
