  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Yet to resume baseball activities

    Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday that Hayes (back) has yet to resume baseball activities, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Hayes landed on the 10-day injured list more than three weeks ago with a back injury that has nagged at him for much of the season. Shelton also noted Tuesday that, as of now, offseason surgery for Hayes is not under consideration. However, the third baseman is clearly not close to returning, and at this point it's fair to wonder whether he will make it back at all this season. Jared Triolo has been operating as the Pirates' everyday third baseman since Hayes went down and will continue to hold down that spot.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Three-hit night in win

    Devers went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 12-3 win over Baltimore.

    Devers appears to be emerging from a recent 1-for-24 stretch. He's hit safely in three of the last four games, going 6-for-15 with two walks, a double and three runs scored.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Slides to second base

    Espinal started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.

    Espinal, who has been seeing regular duty at third base, moved over to second to cover for the injured Jonathan India (elbow), who was removed from Sunday's contest and absent from Monday's lineup. Espinal is 4-for-21 over the last six games, but his second-half body of work remains strong -- he's batting .358/.402/.514 over 33 games since the All-Star break.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Swats first big-league homer

    Ramos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a loss to the Guardians.

    Ramos was the biggest bright spot in another loss for Chicago, as he swatted a two-run shot to left field in the eighth inning for his first major-league home run. The 22-year-old had been finding big-league pitching hard to figure out prior to Monday, as he was batting just .196 with one walk over 48 plate appearances. Ramos has some pop -- he went deep as many as 22 times in a season (2022) in the minors -- and he could get some increased run down the stretch with the White Sox understandably looking ahead to the future.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Expected back Tuesday

    Angels manager Ron Washington said Monday that he expects Rendon (back) to return to the lineup Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    He's out of the lineup for a second straight contest Monday due to left side back soreness, but Washington said holding Rendon out is a precautionary measure. The veteran third baseman is slashing an anemic .218/.307/.267 over 238 plate appearances this season.

  • Paul DeJong 3B | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Absent from lineup

    DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    DeJong has gone 3-for-26 with one home run and 13 strikeouts over his last eight games, so he'll begin Monday's game on the bench while he's slumping at the plate. Maikel Garcia will check in for DeJong at third base and will bat seventh.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Fields grounders Monday

    Westburg (hand) was spotted fielding grounders while the Orioles were warming up prior to Monday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Westburg still remains without a clear timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, but the fact that he traveled with the team to Boston and took part in some baseball activities Monday while no longer sporting a cast on his fractured right hand can be taken as a positive sign. The young infielder has been on the shelf since Aug. 1 with the injury, so he'll likely require a rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk before he makes his return from the IL.

  • Jason Vosler 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Jason Vosler: Loses 40-man roster spot

    The Mariners designated Vosler for assignment on Monday.

    Vosler will cede his spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster to lefty reliever Austin Kitchen, whom Seattle claimed off waivers from Miami. Before he was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 8, Vosler enjoyed a two-week run in the big leagues with Seattle shortly after the All-Star break, slashing .179/.233/.286 over 10 games. The 31-year-old corner infielder is likely to go unclaimed off waivers.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Nursing sore back

    Rendon is day-to-day with left side back soreness and is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Rendon will take a seat for the second straight game and for the third time over the last five contests while he manages the back issue. Though the Angels haven't suggested that Rendon will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, his track record with injuries suggests nothing is guaranteed. Brandon Drury will occupy third base Monday.

  • DJ LeMahieu 3B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Heads to IL with hip impingement

    The Yankees placed LeMahieu on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hip impingement.

    The transaction is retroactive to Friday, though LeMahieu hadn't appeared in any games for the Yankees since last Tuesday. The 36-year-old had put together a modest five-game hit streak prior to landing on the IL, but he wasn't in store for meaningful playing time at either of the corner-infield spots with Anthony Rizzo and Jazz Chisholm locked in as starters at first and third base, respectively.
