Lindor (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 30-year-old said Monday that he could return to the lineup within the next 2-to-5 days, so it's not a surprise he remains out of the starting nine for Tuesday's contest. Lindor should be back in action for the Mets later this week, assuming he can avoid a setback with the nagging back injury. Rookie Luisangel Acuna is starting at shortstop Tuesday for New York.

Fitzgerald (back) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Orioles.

Fitzgerald missed the last three contests with lower-back tightness but is ready to go following an extra day off with the Giants idle Monday. He's sporting an .880 OPS over 84 games this season for San Francisco.

The Phillies reinstated Sosa (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The 28-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 6 due to back spasms, and he'll rejoin the Phillies on Tuesday after a brief stay on the shelf. Alec Bohm (hand) also returned from the injured list over the weekend, so Sosa should reclaim his role as a utility infielder.

Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

Correa has started every other game since returning from the injured list Saturday, as the Twins clearly don't want to overload him as he comes back from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis. Brooks Lee will be at shortstop Tuesday as Minnesota looks to even the series.

Romero is hitting .243 with six home runs, 25 strikeouts and two walks in 16 games with Double-A Portland.

Romero went on an absolute tear for High-A Greenville in the middle of the summer, slashing .345/.398/.673 with eight home runs in 27 games from July 10 through Aug. 25, which earned him a promotion to Double-A on Aug. 27. The 20-year-old shortstop appears to be a little overmatched against Double-A pitching, but he's still gotten to significant power, and he's ahead of schedule relative to his peers. A first-round pick in 2022, Romero has already more than doubled his career games played total this year, as he has missed significant time with lower-back issues, and he even missed time earlier this year with more back trouble.

Vargas slashed .303/.406/.493 with four home runs and 11 steals in 38 Arizona Complex League games.

The 6-foot-4 infielder logged 30 starts at shortstop and four starts at third base, but many evaluators expect him to eventually outgrow the six and slide to the hot corner. Vargas' last official game of the year was July 11, yet he hit a home run in the ACL Dodgers' championship-clinching game over the ACL D-backs on July 30, per Kenny Van Doren of MiLB.com. Unlike ACL teammate Eduardo Quintero, Vargas did not get assigned to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga after the complex league wrapped up.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Volpe will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Seattle.

Oswaldo Cabrera will draw the start at shortstop while Volpe gets a break. Volpe is slashing a woeful .163/.177/.163 with a 17:1 K:BB over 14 contests so far in September.

Wilson went 2-for-4 with a triple, a walk and a run in a loss to the Cubs on Monday.

Wilson worked out of the leadoff spot for only the second time in his nascent MLB career and made good use of the opportunity. He led the game off with his second career triple, but it was his third-inning walk that led to his run, as Brent Rooker drove the rookie home with his two-run blast. Wilson now has a trio of two-hit efforts in the last nine games, and it remains to be seen if his move up in the order was just an outlier or indicative of where he'll primarily slot in for what remains of the regular season.

Tovar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Tovar showed of his power Monday when he took Merrill Kelly deep to the right-center field bullpen. It was Tovar's 24th homer of the season, which ties him with Michael Toglia for the team lead. Tovar entered August slashing .290/.314/.491 but has struggled mightily since to the tune of .194/.229/.388 with six homers and 16 RBI over his last 40 games.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Tigers.

Witt opened the scoring with a grand slam in the third inning and then recorded his 200th hit of the season on an RBI single in the fifth. According to MLB.com, the shortstop is the third player in Royals' history to reach that milestone in his age-24 season or younger. On the year, he is hitting .332 with 32 homers, 108 RBI, 122 runs scored and 29 steals across 666 plate appearances.
