Bo Bichette SS | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Dealing with tight quad
The Blue Jays announced that Bichette was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians due to right quadricep tightness, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Bichette went 0-for-3 on the day and may have suffered the injury in his final at-bat in the bottom of the fifth, when he was slow to get out of the batter's box on a groundout to second base. Santiago Espinal stepped in at shortstop in the next half inning to replace Bichette, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Exits with apparent injury
Bichette was removed ahead of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent lower-body injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. He went hitless in three at-bats prior to departing.
Though the nature of Bichette's injury isn't yet known, Matheson notes that the shortstop wasn't running close to full speed out of the batter's box while grounding out to second base in the bottom of the fifth inning. Santiago Espinal came off the bench to replace Bichette in the top of the sixth. Expect the Blue Jays to provide an update on Bichette's condition later Sunday.

Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX
Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Gets Sunday off
Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Duran will get a maintenance day after he started at third base in each of the past seven games while going 7-for-23 with three walks, four runs and a stolen base. Josh Smith will fill in for Duran at the hot corner Sunday.

Nick Allen SS | HOU
Athletics' Nick Allen: Takes seat Sunday
Allen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Aledmys Diaz will step in at shortstop after Allen had started each of the past five games. Allen is maintaining a .262/.304/.415 slash line with three home runs and three stolen bases since the beginning of August, and though his production hasn't been anything eye-popping, it should be enough for the 24-year-old to hold down a near-everyday role for the remainder of the season.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starting Sunday after all
Reyes (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Though Reyes was initially expected to get the day off after he was pulled from Saturday's 8-5 win with left elbow pain, he'll end up getting his fifth straight start Sunday. The Red Sox scratched third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) from the lineup to clear a spot for Reyes.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Out Sunday with elbow injury
Reyes (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Doing on-field work
Neto (back) resumed baseball activities in New York on Aug. 25, per MLB.com.
Neto is reportedly pain-free after going on the injured list in early August due to lower-back discomfort. The rookie shortstop was originally slated to start up baseball activities during the Angels' last homestand but had that plan pushed back a few days for unspecified reasons. Neto will likely need a minor-league rehab stint before being activated, so he's probably still a couple weeks away from a return.

Reyes was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left elbow pain, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
The Red Sox didn't provide any specifics regarding what exactly is wrong with Reyes or how severe his injury is, but more information should be available in the near future. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Gets Saturday off

Nick Allen SS | HOU
Athletics' Nick Allen: Big day in rout
Allen went 4-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and five RBI in Friday's 12-4 win over the White Sox.
Hitting out of the nine hole, Allen socked a solo shot off Tanner Banks in the seventh inning to cap a career day at the plate. The 24-year-old shortstop is showing signs in August he can contribute with his bat as well as his glove, slashing .279/.323/.443 through 20 games on the month with three homers, three steals, seven runs and nine RBI.
