Cruz went 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Cubs.

The 25-year-old drew a start at designated hitter and collected his second four-hit performance of the season, with his first being a 5-for-5 effort on Aug. 2. Cruz has been red hot in August, hitting .383 (31-for-81) with a home run, a triple, eight doubles, 11 RBI and nine runs scored across 22 games. Overall, he is now slashing .271/.328/.473 with 18 homers and steals apiece in 488 plate appearances this season.

Schuemann went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Schuemann homered to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning and fell a triple shy of the cycle in his first multi-hit game since Aug. 2. It was a much-needed boost for the 27-year-old, as he entered Tuesday in a 2-for-32 slump over his previous 10 games. On the season, he is hitting .233 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 steals across 371 plate appearances.

Bichette (calf) traveled with the Blue Jays on their road trip and was spotted fielding grounders at Fenway Park prior to Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette will continue to work out with the team on its trip before eventually heading out on a rehab assignment. The shortstop's return to game action in the minors doesn't look to be imminent, however, so he realistically won't be ready to return from the 10-day injured list until at least mid-September. He's been shelved since late July with a moderate right calf strain.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After making three consecutive starts -- and going 3-for-10 at the plate -- Jimenez will get the night off Tuesday. Will Wagner will play second base while Ernie Clement fills in at shortstop.

The Athletics claimed Gray off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday.

Gray, 28, has spent the bulk of the 2024 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .240/.312/.454 with 17 home runs over 410 plate appearances. The infielder will report to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that McLain (shoulder/rib) is still undergoing tests to determine the cause of the pain in his side, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain encountered a roadblock in his recovery from left shoulder surgery when he went down with a stress reaction in his rib cage earlier this month. He had resumed baseball activities but evidently at some point was shut down again. Bell noted that the testing McLain is going through is nearly finished and the infielder could resume swinging a bat again soon. There could still be time for McLain to make it back before the end of the season, but he can't afford any more setbacks.

Tovar (sports hernia) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

Tovar missed Monday's game while dealing with a sports hernia, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in August with just a .482 OPS.

The Athletics activated Wilson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds.

The 22-year-old suffered the hamstring strain during his major-league debut July 19, but he's ready to rejoin Oakland after gong 9-for-23 during a seven-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. Wilson is the organization's top prospect and should take over as the primary shortstop for the stretch run. He's split his time in the minors this season between Las Vegas and Double-A Midland, and he's hit .423 with seven homers, two steals, 36 RBI and 44 runs in 48 games between the two affiliates.

Padres manager Mike Shildt said Monday on 97.3 The Fan that Kim (shoulder) is slated to join the club in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Shildt noted that Kim was scheduled to have his injured right shoulder examined again Monday, and presuming everything looks OK, the infielder would then rejoin the club on the road. It's not clear what the next step would be, but it would likely include the resumption of baseball activities. Kim is first eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Thursday, but it's uncertain whether he might have a shot to be back by that date.

Winn went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Winn was an effective table-setter Monday, scoring twice on hits by Alec Burleson as the Cardinals got three-hit efforts from the first two batters in the lineup. Over his last 11 games, Winn has gone 17-for-47 (.362) with four extra-base hits. The shortstop continues to impress in his first full season, maintaining a .282/.329/.420 slash line with 11 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 122 contests.
