The Yankees are expected to recall Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Peraza hit .308 and posted a .819 OPS over his last nine games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and his recent production in the minors looks as though it'll earn him another trip to the big leagues. The Yankees are likely to give their young players plenty of playing time down the stretch, with Peraza likely to get most of his starts at third base.

Garcia (ribs) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's.

Garcia worked as a reserve for a couple days after leaving Friday's contest with a rib issue, but he pinch hit Sunday and has been deemed ready to play a full nine innings. As he has done regularly of late, he will man the hot corner and hit leadoff Monday night.

Capra was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Capra had a brief stint with the Pirates earlier in August, and he will get another look at the top level with Henry Davis (undisclosed) landing on the injured list.

Longoria (back) was activated from the injured list Monday.

Longoria began a rehab assignment last Thursday, and the Diamondbacks decided he was ready to rejoin the big club after appearing in three games over the last four days. Based on his usage earlier in the season it's unlikely he will play every day, but with an .803 OPS and all kinds of Diamondbacks manning the hot corner in during his absence, Longoria should jump right back into the mix.

Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis will get a breather after he started in each of the last four games while going 5-for-14 with a double, an RBI and a run. With Davis on the bench, Wilmer Flores will pick up a start at third base in his stead and bat third in the series opener.

Maton was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Maton is the roster casualty with the Tigers bringing up outfield prospect Parker Meadows from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Across 293 plate appearances at the major-league level this season, Maton has turned in a .173/.288/.305 batting line.

Duffy went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Duffy got aboard on a fielder's choice in the second inning and proceeded to record his first steal of the season. The infielder last swiped a bag in 2021 when he picked up eight steals in 97 games with the Cubs. The 32-year-old has seen a little extra playing time lately with Maikel Garcia (ribs) dealing with a nagging injury. Duffy is slashing .258/.315/.319 with one home run, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored over 178 plate appearances, mainly serving as a short-side platoon option this season.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

After rapping a two-out single in the first inning, Riley got himself into scoring position with his third steal of the season -- a new career high -- and first since late June. The third baseman is slashing .304/.360/.557 through 19 games in August with five home runs, 13 RBI and 14 runs, and he sits one long ball short of his third straight 30-homer campaign.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

The slugger uncorked a 426-foot shot in the second inning with Josh Rojas aboard to double the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Suarez extended his on-base streak to 11 games in the process, a stretch during which his two extra-base hits have both been homers. While Suarez, who's left the yard 18 times overall this season, is off the pace of what would be a third straight 30-homer campaign, he's now only 10 RBI from eclipsing the 87 he compiled in his debut Mariners campaign in 2022.

Garcia (ribs) went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit RBI-single in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

Garcia entered as a pinch hitter for Matt Duffy in the ninth inning after sitting Saturday's game and notched a base hit which jumpstarted a late comeback that fell just short. The 23-year-old is still being viewed as day-to-day while he deals with inflammation near the left side of his ribs, but his appearance off the bench Sunday bodes well for his chances of returning to the lineup Monday versus the Athletics.
