Baez (personal) was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Baez had been out of the Tigers' lineup since Saturday following the death of his grandfather. He's expected to officially go on the bereavement list at some point, but the 30-year-old will start at shortstop and bat sixth Tuesday versus the Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray.

Baez (personal) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

It's the third straight game that Baez has been out of the lineup following a death in the family, although he did pinch hit in Sunday's contest. The Tigers have not made a roster move involving Baez and at this point it's possible they won't. Zack Short is playing shortstop Tuesday.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said in an interview on MLB Network on Tuesday that Bichette (knee) was "moving around with very few symptoms, almost not at all" during a workout Monday, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette resumed baseball activities a few days ago and looks to be ramping things back up with encouraging results as he works his way back from patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Toronto has not provided a timetable for the star shortstop's return, but if things continue to trend in the right direction, there seems to be a chance Bichette can be activated when first eligible Friday or shortly thereafter.

Duran started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-3 win over Oakland.

Duran filled in at third base in the first game following Josh Jung's thumb injury. It was announced Monday that Jung will miss at least six weeks, and Duran is expected to be part of the fill-in solution along with Josh Smith. Duran's .514 OPS in 19 games since the All-Star break, however, stands in stark contrast to a productive first half when he posted an .870 OPS with 12 home runs and 35 RBI in 70 games.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

Correa got the best of Joey Wentz on Monday, with a run-scoring double in the first inning and an opposite-field three-run shot in the second. Correa snapped a 16-game homer drought, during which he hit just .154 (10-for-65) with six RBI and three runs scored. On the season, the 28-year-old shortstop is now slashing .224/.297/.458 with 13 homers, 52 RBI and 41 runs scored through 102 games.

Anderson was removed from Monday's game against the Yankees due to a bruised left forearm. He's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative.

Anderson was hit by a pitch in the third inning and managed to remain in the game for his next at-bat, but he was ultimately pulled in the eighth. The White Sox will likely re-evaluate the shortstop Tuesday to determine his availability going forward. Anderson is also facing a six-game suspension for his role in a fight with Cleveland's Jose Ramirez on Saturday, but he's eligible to play in games after appealing the ban.

Reyes went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Royals.

Reyes' first homer of the year was a two-out, walk-off grand slam Monday. It was his first three-hit game of the year and first multi-hit game since June 19. Reyes had gone just 1-for-7 since being reinstated from the injured list in late July. For the year, he's slashing .312/.357/.416 with six extra-base hits and 13 RBI through 85 plate appearances.

Mondesi (knee) was spotted taking grounders, hitting and running Monday, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.

Mondesi has been shut down from all baseball activity since June 13 while working to regain strength in his surgically repaired left knee, so this is a significant step in the right direction. However, the Red Sox have been quiet about a timetable for his return, making it unclear whether the 28-year-old can get back on the field before the 2023 campaign ends.

Ornelas was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

It was reported Sunday that Ornelas would be called up from the minors, and he officially replaced the injured Josh Jung (thumb) on the roster one day later. Ornelas figures to fill some type of super-utility role in his first big-league stint.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Story (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Over the weekend, Cora noted that Story would remain on assignment at Triple-A Worcester through Thrusday, when his 20-day rehab window would have expired. After further deliberation, however, the Red Sox elected to bring Story back a couple days earlier than expected. The 30-year-old's surgically repaired right elbow showed no ill effects over the course of his 13-game rehab assignment between Worcester and Double-A Portland, as he amassed an 1.117 OPS while walking at a 14.1 percent clip and playing 51 innings in the field. Story is expected to immediately settle in as the Red Sox's everyday shortstop after he played primarily at second base during his first season with the club in 2022.
