Cabrera (ankle) said Monday that there's a "small window" for him to return this season, but it remains an unlikely proposition, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cabrera underwent surgery in mid-May to repair a fracture and ligament damage in his left ankle. He has been walking around lately without the aid of a scooter or boot, but he cannot jog yet or perform baseball activities. Even if the Yankees manage to make a postseason run, it's likely Cabrera will be held out until next season.

Vargas (oblique) took batting practice Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Vargas relayed after the workout that he didn't feel hindered by his left oblique strain and said that he hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list without going on a rehab assignment first. That decision will be up to the White Sox, but the team could grant Vargas' request since the 25-year-old has missed just over a week of action thus far. If Vargas does bypass a rehab assignment, he could return for this weekend's series in Kansas City.

House is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Kansas City.

House was demoted to the No. 8 spot in the batting order for the previous two contests and will be out of the lineup altogether Monday. The rookie infielder is slashing only .213/.219/.246 with a 19:1 K:BB so far in the second half. Paul DeJong will hold down third base for the Nationals on Monday.

Karros will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game in St. Louis.

After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Karros started at third base in all three games of the Rockies' weekend series in Arizona, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs. The 23-year-old will stick in the starting nine Monday and should have a chance to settle in as the Rockies' everyday option at the hot corner for the rest of the season if he can remain reasonably productive at the plate.

Baty went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth against Quinn Priester, Baty took the right-hander deep in the second inning. It was his 12th first long of the year and his first since July 21. Over 17 contests since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old is slashing .235/.310/.431 with three homers, one steal, six RBI and 11 runs as he fights for playing time with Jeff McNeil, Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos between second base and third base.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates.

Hayes initiated the Reds' four-run third inning when he doubled and scored the club's first run. After an initial surge upon joining Cincinnati at the trade deadline, Hayes is slumping with just two hits in his last 19 at-bats.

Alexander went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Colorado.

Alexander logged a third straight multi-hit game and has reached base safely in all nine contests since taking over as the primary starter at third base. He's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with two doubles, two home runs, five walks, seven RBI and five runs since the Diamondbacks traded Eugenio Suarez.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Shaw provided the Cubs' lone scoring play when he took Sonny Gray deep in the fifth inning. It's the second homer in as many days for Shaw, who has swatted seven of his nine homers this season over his last 19 games. He was hitting .198 entering the All-Star break but is now batting .228 with a .683 OPS, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 15 doubles and one triple over 83 contests. The rookie third baseman still hasn't reached his potential, but he's trending upward, which is a good sign as he continues to occupy a starting role on a team in the wild-card race.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Tigers.

Rengifo doubled and scored in the sixth inning before homering for the second straight game in the eighth. The 28-year-old is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, which includes four multi-hit performances and four extra-base hits. On the season, he's slashing .252/.296/.353 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored and four steals across 413 plate appearances.

DeJong went 3-for-5 with two RBI singles during Sunday's 8-0 win over San Francisco.

The veteran infielder has handled some regular playing time at second base this week while Luis Garcia tends to a back injury, and DeJong delivered a second straight multi-hit game. Sunday's performance marked his second game with at least three hits in 2025, and his second with multiple RBI. DeJong is slashing .243/.287/.367 on the year.
