  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Belts walk-off homer

    Jung went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's extra-inning win over Oakland.

    Jung was 1-for-4 with a single and two punchouts before he ripped a walk-off shot in the 10th inning. He snapped a 10-game homerless drought with his first long ball since Aug. 18. Through 32 games this season, Jung is slashing .260/.275/.425 with 10 extra-base hits and 12 RBI over 131 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Needs more time on rehab assignment

    Moncada (adductor) is expected to play in at least five more rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Moncada has been on the injured list since April while recovering from an adductor strain and a related setback that caused him to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. Though he's reported no setbacks since kicking off a second rehab assignment this past Tuesday, Moncada has looked rusty in his first game action in a month and a half, going 2-for-10 with a double and two strikeouts. Based on Romero's report, the White Sox are leaning toward keeping Moncada at Charlotte throughout the week, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the 60-day injured list until the second week of September. Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa will likely continue to share reps at third base until Moncada is back with the big club.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Gets September call-up

    The Rangers recalled Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

    Ornelas' addition strengthens Texas' depth in the infield, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular at-bats so long as Corey Seager, Josh Jung, Marcus Semien and Josh Smith are able to maintain health down the stretch. Prior to his promotion, Ornelas had hit .252 with three home runs and nine stolen bases over 366 plate appearances with Round Rock this season.

  • Pablo Reyes DH | NYM

    Mets' Pablo Reyes: Called up Sunday

    The Mets recalled Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's 2-0 win over the White Sox. He appeared off the bench as a pinch runner and came around to score a run.

    Reyes has seen action at all four infield spots as well as in right field between his time in the minors and his brief run in the big leagues with the Red Sox this season, so he'll provide the Mets with some versatility off the bench down the stretch. The 30-year-old utility man is unlikely to receive regular at-bats, however.

  • Angels' Charles Leblanc: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Angels recalled Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    He will join Jack Lopez and Michael Stefanic as utility options in the Angels infield, but it may take an injury or two for Leblanc to see steady playing time. Aside from a brief stint with the Halos in August, Leblanc had spent the entire season at Salt Lake, producing an .816 OPS over 414 plate appearances.

  • Joseph Ortiz 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Swipes bag, scores twice

    Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

    Ortiz did a little bit of everything Sunday, scoring two of Milwaukee's three runs and belting his 20th double of the season. Ortiz is looking to rebound from a rough August in which he slashed .195/.290/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a .732 OPS with nine home runs, 45 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 418 plate appearances.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Jean Segura: Cut by Baltimore

    The Orioles released Segura on Sunday.

    Segura signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Aug. 9 but created little momentum for a September call-up, as he slashed just .137/.250/.196 with one stolen base across 60 plate appearances in 14 games for Triple-A Norfolk. After struggling in Norfolk and producing a lowly .556 OPS over 85 games in the majors with Miami in 2023, the 34-year-old infielder's time in the big leagues may have come and gone.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Missing third straight start

    Bohm (hand) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Though Bohm is on the bench for the third day in a row, he seems to be progressing in his recovery from left hand discomfort. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Bohm was spotted on the field doing some work prior to Sunday's game, and the Phillies have suggested that he could be ready to return to the lineup following Monday's off day. He'll give way to Edmundo Sosa at third base for at least one more game, however.

  • Connor Norby 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Getting afternoon off

    Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Norby will take a seat for the first time since he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 19 in advance of his Marlins debut. Jose Devers will enter the lineup and pick up a start at second base in place of the resting Norby, who has produced a 1.002 OPS with two stolen bases and three home runs through his first 12 games with Miami.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Promoted, starting at third base

    The Orioles recalled Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk, and he will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Rockies.

    The 22-year-old has joined the Orioles with MLB active rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday, and placement of Ramon Urias (ankle) on the injured list could open up everyday playing time for Mayo at third base. Mayo struggled in his first taste of the majors, going 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his first seven games, but he appears poised to get plenty of chances in September while Urias is sidelined.
