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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Duran is on the bench for the third straight game and is unlikely to recapture an everyday role over the final two weeks of the season after the Rangers activated Josh Jung (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday. After getting off to a hot start to the season at the plate, Duran is slashing just .224/.291/.314 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break.

Arias went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

Arias reached the double-digit home run milestone with a 394-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. He later added an additional RBI via a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Although the 23-year-old has cemented himself as the starting Cleveland shortstop, he has struggled at the dish this year. Arias has produced a .215/.281/.362 slash line over 117 games.

Reyes will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

The righty-hitting Reyes will stick in the lineup against a lefty (Jordan Montgomery), but he had sat out on each of the last three occasions in which the Red Sox faced off against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox have seemingly moved Reyes into a utility role while Luis Urias has been prioritized at second base of late.

Gray was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Gray had two hits -- including his first home run -- in his major-league debut Sunday in Baltimore, but that won't prevent a return trip to Durham. He's no longer needed on the active roster with the Rays reinstating Taylor Walls (personal) from the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Crawford's timely second-inning knock drove home Eugenio Suarez with the only run of the afternoon for the Mariners to give the former his 54th RBI of the campaign, tying a career high. Crawford's productive day at the plate overall was essentially the only bright spot for the Mariners as they wrapped up a disappointing litmus test of an interleague series against the Dodgers, and the multi-hit effort extended the veteran shortstop's on-base streak to eight games.

Paris is scheduled to undergo further testing on his sore left thumb Monday, MLB.com reports.

Paris had been slated to make a fourth consecutive start in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Tigers but was scratched shortly before opening pitch due to the injury. The Angels are viewing Paris as day-to-day for now, but the upcoming tests should determine if he's dealing with anything beyond minor soreness. If Paris can quickly move past the injury, he could end up seeing a near-everyday role for the rest of the season while bouncing between second base and center field.
