The Athletics transferred Wilson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The 24-year-old was already ruled out for the season after being placed on the 10-day IL last week due to lingering soreness stemming from a separated shoulder, so this is just a procedural move to free up a roster spot for waiver-claim Chris Roycroft. Wilson finished the season with an underwhelming .266/.298/.388 slash line, seven homers, four steals, 37 RBI and 37 runs in 80 games.

Winn (thumb) is expected to be placed on the injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 24-year-old shortstop sustained the injury last Tuesday in Cincinnati and attempted to play through it the following day, but he was lifted from that contest and has sat out the past four games. The full extent of the injury has yet to be disclosed after undergoing an MRI and CT scan Sunday, but the Cardinals are hopeful that it's not a season-ending injury for Winn, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Nolan Gorman is being called up from Triple-A Memphis to round out St. Louis' roster.

Culpepper went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.

Culpepper sprayed a quartet of singles, marking the first four-hit performance of his young career. The 23-year-old has taken over as the primary shortstop since debuting Aug. 7 and has made a strong impression at the plate. Through 55 plate appearances, Culpepper is slashing .340/.382/.480 with two homers, a double, four RBI and six runs scored.

Seager went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI, a run scored and a walk during Monday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

With the three base knocks Monday, Seager has now recorded multi-hit performances in eight of his last nine games. The 32-year-old helped out early, lining a two-run double to extend the lead to three. He later added on some insurance, smacking an RBI double to center field. Over his last 15 games, Seager is slashing .357/.419/.607 with three homers and eight RBI in 61 plate appearances.

Story (sports hernia) will continue his rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Story had been viewed as candidate to return from the 60-day injured list Monday, but he didn't join the Red Sox for the start of their road trip and looks like he'll remain out for all three games of the team's series in Miami to begin the week. If all goes well during Tuesday's rehab contest, Story -- who has been on the shelf since May 16 -- could be activated at some point during the Red Sox's weekend series in New York versus the Yankees. Since kicking off his rehab assignment with Worcester on Aug. 16, Story has gone 4-for-21 with a 0:5 BB:K while playing exclusively in the field at shortstop.

Tovar went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double before being lifted in the sixth inning after injuring his wrist during Monday's 13-3 loss to the Nationals, Eli Whitney of Purple Row reports.

In Tovar's second at-bat against Cade Cavalli, he took the right-hander deep to center field for a solo shot to extend Colorado's lead. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless drought. The 25-year-old was lifted in the bottom of the sixth after straining his left wrist on a diving play in the fifth inning. On the campaign, Tovar is slashing .209/.257/.596 with 10 homers and 39 RBI in 429 plate appearances. Ryan Ritter replaced Tovar at shortstop.

Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.

Bonemer will get some starts in center field later this week with Double-A Birmingham, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

To this point in his pro career, Bonemer has played only shortstop and third base. However, with Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas holding down the left side of the infield for the White Sox, Bonemer will get some exposure to the outfield. The 20-year-old has slashed .249/.381/.556 with 33 home runs and 16 stolen bases between Birmingham and High-A Winston-Salem this season.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will undergo season-ending left wrist surgery Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The exact nature of the procedure isn't clear, but Emerson is expected to be 100 percent recovered in time for spring training. The rookie infielder finishes his season having slashed .190/.246/.335 with eight home runs, three stolen bases and a 15:83 BB:K over 69 games. Despite the lackluster first stint in the big leagues, Emerson is the odds-on favorite to open the 2027 campaign as the Mariners' starting shortstop.

Crawford (wrist) has rejoined the Mariners in Seattle and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford has been out for all of August due to left wrist inflammation, but he's nearly ready to roll after going 4-for-11 with one home run in three rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. With Colt Emerson (wrist) and Brendan Donovan (concussion) shelved, Crawford should see plenty of playing time on the left side of the Mariners' infield, once he's activated.
