  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Nursing sore foot

    Norby was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Pirates due to left foot soreness, MLB.com reports.

    Norby fouled a pitch off the foot during Monday's game and has some lingering discomfort. He was set to undergo further testing, but Marlins manager Skip Schumaker believes Norby will be OK. Consider him day-to-day for the time being.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Reaches four times Tuesday

    Caminero went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

    It was an encouraging showing from Caminero, who'd gone just 3-for-23 in his previous six contests. The 21-year-old rookie is batting .266 with a .739 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 112 plate appearances since he was recalled to serve as Tampa Bay's everyday third baseman in mid-August.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes fourth consecutive start

    Duran started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Arizona.

    Duran made a fourth consecutive start and sixth over the last seven contests. During that run, he's played left field, second base, shortstop, third base and DH while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, two walks, five RBI and five runs scored. The opportunities could dry up when Corey Seager (hip) returns.

  • 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.
