Pratt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 17-3 loss to the Cubs.

Pratt launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, though it had little impact on the result as the Cubs cruised to a blowout victory. It marked the shortstop's first homer since July 25. Through 187 plate appearances, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing .270/.339/.371 with three homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and 12 stolen bases.

Ross is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Saint Paul ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ross is expected to join the Twins as one of the club's September call-ups when rosters expand Tuesday. He's slashing .249/.353/.458 with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 56 runs in 102 games in his first season at Triple-A and has primarily played third base, shortstop and center field for the Saints in 2026.

Jackson (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-25 (.200 average) with two doubles, two steals and a 2:5 BB:K in six games for Double-A Somerset since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 23.

Jackson ended up missing just over a week due to an unspecified injury. The 22-year-old infielder owns a .238/.327/.333 slash line and has gone a perfect 6-for-6 on stolen-base attempts over 49 plate appearances at Somerset since being promoted from High-A Hudson Valley on Aug. 11.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

On the bench for the third time in six games, Ortiz has begun to find himself as the odd man out on the left side of the Milwaukee infield. Ortiz should continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching, but Cooper Pratt and David Hamilton are likely to be prioritized ahead of him versus righties.

Lombard (knee) is not listed in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Lombard will miss his second consecutive game after injuring himself during Saturday's matchup against Boston. Jose Caballero will once again man shortstop and bat eighth for New York. Manager Aaron Boone noted before the matchup that Lombard did some running earlier in the day, and he's unsure if the rookie will be available off the bench, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

Monasterio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

After starting in all but three games from July 22 through Saturday, Monasterio will remain on the bench for the second day in a row in the wake of Trevor Story's return from the 60-day injured list. Though Story could have his workload monitored to some degree following his return from sports hernia surgery, he'll still be in store for the lion's share of starts at shortstop while Monasterio transitions into more of a utility role.

Baez could see his playing time limited down the stretch, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Baez has started more than 75 percent of the Tigers' games since returning from an ankle injury in late July. However, with the team's playoff chances looking remote, the Tigers want to get a look at some younger players in the final month of the regular season. Baez -- who is set to earn $24 million in 2027 in his final year under contract -- has slashed .255/.285/.369 with two homers in 46 contests this season.

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

Weston Wilson will enter the starting nine at third base in place of Rodden. The switch-hitting infielder had been included in the lineup in each of the Mariners' last six games, going 0-for-16 with a 2:4 BB:K during that stretch.

Abrams has been taken out of Monday's starting nine against Miami due to back tightness, per Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic.

The 25-year-old played in seven straight games after missing a few with an ankle injury, with five of Abrams' seven starts coming at designated hitter over that span. Nasim Nunez will replace Abrams at shortstop and bat eighth.

The Mariners transferred Emerson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Cooper Criswell from the 60-day IL. Emerson underwent season-ending surgery last week to repair a tendon in his left wrist.
