  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Scratched from Miami lineup

    Norby (undisclosed) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup in Pittsburgh.

    Norby had been slated to play third base and bat second, but he's been scratched for an unspecified reason. The Marlins should offer more on his status soon. David Hensley will enter the lineup at first base, while Jake Burger will shift across the diamond to third base.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Placed on injured list

    The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to a left oblique strain.

    Manager Ron Washington said Monday that Rendon was expected to rejoin the lineup Tuesday after sitting out two straight games due to back soreness, but the third baseman will instead move to the injured list after being diagnosed with an oblique injury. The 34-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 18, but there's no guarantee he's back before the end of the campaign, especially given his injury history.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Absent from lineup

    Vargas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Guardians.

    Vargas had started each of the last three games but will take a seat to begin this one. Bryan Ramos will start at third base and bat eighth for the White Sox on Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Picks up steal Monday

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

    Ramirez is up to 36 steals this season, including 10 over his last 25 contests. In that span, he's hit just .215 (20-for-93), but he's also posted a 14:12 BB:K to keep his on-base numbers at a passable level. The third baseman is at a .271/.330/.514 slash line, 34 home runs, 106 RBI, 101 runs scored, 31 doubles and a triple through 141 games this season.

  • 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 SS | 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.
