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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Yankees reinstated Berti (calf) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Berti is back with the Yankees for the first time since late May after completing a lengthy recovery from a left calf strain. Prior to being activated, Berti was sent out on an extended rehab assignment, during which he slashed .342/.422/.526 with two home runs and five walks over 12 games. Though Berti looks to be dialed in at the plate, he'll have to settle for a utility role with the Yankees and may not be guaranteed much more than the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

Mayo will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

It's just his third start in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in the wake of the Ramon Urias (ankle) injury, although he did enter as a pinch-hitter each of the last two days. Mayo is only 2-for-25 with 15 strikeouts so far at the major-league level.

The Cubs promoted Smith from High-A South Bend to Double-A Tennessee on Monday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

South Bend's season came to an end Sunday, but Smith will get the opportunity to play on for at least another two weeks while he links up with Tennessee. The No. 14 overall pick of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has gotten off to a stellar start to his professional career with a combined .323/.412/.635 slash line and a 14:21 BB:K over 114 plate appearances between South Bend and Single-A Myrtle Beach.
