  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Scratched with back tightness

    Baez was scratched from the Tigers' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dodgers due to lower-back tightness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports..

    The Tigers haven't given any details on how severe Baez's injury is, but he should be considered day-to-day going forward. Zack Short will fill in for Baez at shortstop and bat eighth Tuesday.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Awaiting MRI results

    Correa, who is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, underwent an MRI on his left foot earlier in the day, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.comreports.

    The 28-year-old has played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot throughout the season, and the issue flared up during Monday's loss to Cincinnati. Bench coach Jayce Tingler said the team is approaching the injury as a day-to-day concern and noted that Correa has typically been able to return to action relatively quickly this season after aggravating the issue.

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Out of lineup with foot issue

    Correa (foot) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

    Correa had to be removed from Monday's loss to the Reds after aggravating the lingering plantar fasciitis in his left foot, so it's not surprising he's on the bench a day later. The veteran shortstop has dealt with a foot issue for much of the season and was forced to miss a couple of games last week. How much time Correa might miss this time around isn't clear, though at this stage, the Twins are labeling him day-to-day. Kyle Farmer is filling in at shortstop Tuesday.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Hitting well in September

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI on Monday against the Orioles.

    Pena delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning and later came around to score in the same frame, a continuation of his positive performance in September. He has yet to go deep but has hit .292 with three RBI and 13 runs scored across 16 games for the month. Overall, Pena has shown improved plate discipline as compared to his rookie season, though he's seen a disappointing dip in power -- highlighted by a drip in his ISO from .173 to .123.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Collects four hits

    Anderson went 4-for-5 with a run scored Monday against the Nationals.

    Anderson is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, with his last two performances being multi-hit efforts. Despite a down year, he is closing the season well, as he's maintained a .333 average with eight runs scored and a stolen bases across 16 games in September. However, as has been the case, he's shown very little ability to hit for power, as he has only two extra-base hits -- both doubles -- in that same 16-game span.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Returns to Triple-A

    Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Ornelas collected one hit and struck out four times in seven at-bats since being promoted Sept. 9. He was sent down Monday along with Sam Huff to make room for Josh Jung (thumb) and Adolis Garcia (knee), who were both activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Placed on 60-day IL

    Paris was moved to the 60-day injured list Monday due to a ligament tear in his left thumb.

    Paris was brought up Friday from Triple-A Salt Lake to get some opportunities in the big leagues, but he was sent for further evaluation Monday after injuring his left thumb. This diagnosis will force him to miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Monday

    Correa was removed from Monday's game against the Reds in the second inning after aggravating his left plantar fasciitis, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Correa ran a long way to track down a flyball in the bottom of the first inning, and he was removed in the top half of the second. The shortstop has been battling plantar fasciitis since late May, and this latest setback could force him to miss time. The team will likely re-evaluate Correa on Tuesday to determine his availability moving forward. In the meantime, look for Kyle Farmer to see opportunities at shortstop.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Promoted to Triple-A

    Brito was promoted to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Brito -- one of Cleveland's top prospects -- posted an .817 OPS at the Double-A level this season, and he will get a chance to show what he can do at the top level of the minors before the campaign comes to a close.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Heads to bench in Jung's return

    Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Smith had started at third base in each of the Rangers' last four games, but he's likely to handle more of a utility role moving forward after Texas reinstated Josh Jung (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday. The 25-year-old is hitting just .116 in September and likely won't be in store for steady at-bats down the stretch while the Rangers look to secure a playoff spot.
