Caballero went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base Monday in an 8-3 victory versus the Twins.

Caballero got the scoring started in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. He added an RBI single in the eighth and then stole second before subsequently coming around to score on a Ben Rice single. Monday marked the fourth time this season Caballero has stolen a base and homered in the same game. It was a much-needed productive performance by the utility man, as he entered the contest in a 1-for-19 tailspin at the plate. That's one of the factors that has cost Caballero playing time, as he's started just three times across New York's past eight games.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Mets on Monday.

Henderson broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot to right-center field in the eighth inning to produce the game-winning run. The long ball was his first in September and his 23rd overall this season. It's been mostly a struggle for the infielder in 2026, as his .710 OPS is on pace for a career-worst mark. Still, he's provided more power this year after sinking to just 17 home runs across 154 regular-season games in 2025.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Crawford launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning to cut the Mariners' deficit to 6-4. The veteran infielder has now homered in two of the past three games after going 50 contests without a long ball. In 106 games this season, he's hitting .226/.345/.355 with 12 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs and a stolen base.

Saggese went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Saggese is up to four steals on the year, including three over his last 10 games. He has gone 12-for-36 (.333) in that span, and he got a look in the leadoff spot Monday while Bryan Torres received a day off. Saggese is now batting .268 with a .738 OPS, four home runs, 12 RBI, 23 runs scored, five doubles and one triple over 140 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Culpepper (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Culpepper took a pitch off his back Saturday and will miss a second straight start with a shoulder contusion. Ryan Kreidler will make another start at shortstop and bat eighth against Yankees righty Will Warren.

The Padres optioned McCoy to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Ty France from paternity leave. McCoy was in the majors for only a few days and did not see any action.

The Astros are considering playing Correa (ankle) some at second base when he returns from the 60-day injured list, Ken Rosenthal of Foul Territory TV reports.

On days the club uses Yordan Alvarez in left field, it would open up designated hitter for Jose Altuve, second base for Correa and allow the Astros to keep both Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes in the lineup at the corner infield spots. Correa is expected to play one or two rehab games this week at Triple-A Sugar Land before being reinstated to the Astros' active roster. He's been out since early May due to ankle surgery.

Willits went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, a second run scored, three RBI and two stolen bases for Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday.

Per Brendan Samson of MLB.com, Willits became the youngest player to collect a hit this season at Double-A when he singled Thursday, and his long ball Saturday made him only the eighth 18-year-old over the last two decades to homer at the level -- a list that includes Bryce Harper and Fernando Tatis, as well as current top prospects Jesus Made of the Brewers, Leo De Vries (shoulder) of the A's and Sebastian Walcott of the Rangers. Willits sports a .265/.406/.463 slash line in 114 games across three levels of the minors this season with 14 home runs and 62 steals, and while the Nationals won't rush him, his elite package of skills, athleticism and baseball IQ could land him in the majors sometime next summer.

The Phillies designated Cairo for assignment Sunday.

A spot on the 40-man roster was needed for the return of Tanner Banks from the 60-day injured list. Cairo was added to the Phillies' 40-man roster just before Opening Day but has yet to make his major-league debut. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed .227/.378/.298 with four home runs, 25 stolen bases and a 90:76 BB:K over 128 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.

Story went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

Story allowed the Red Sox to breathe easier with a two-run double in the eighth inning to increase the lead to 4-1. He's hit safely in 12 of 13 games since coming off the injured list, going 18-for-53 (.340) with seven doubles, six RBI and five runs scored.
