  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Productive in win

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

    Bogaerts didn't get a chance to go for the home run he needed for the cycle, but he showed off some impressive speed Monday. He stole home and hit his first triple of the season in the contest, which was his fifth multi-hit effort over his last six games. The shortstop is up to a .279/.348/.433 slash line with 18 home runs, 51 RBI, 75 runs scored, 17 steals and 29 doubles through 144 contests. He hit leadoff Monday with Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) out of the lineup -- Bogaerts has primarily hit fifth over the last month.

  • Vaughn Grissom 2B | LAA

    Braves' Vaughn Grissom: Returns from MiLB IL

    Grissom (hip) was activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday, per the MiLB's transactions log.

    Grissom ended up on the injured list Sept. 11 due to a right hip injury, but it ended up being a short absence for the second baseman. He's slashing .332/.421/.505 with eight homers, 60 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 72 runs scored over 96 minor-league contests so far this year.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Returns to Triple-A

    Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Ornelas collected one hit and struck out four times in seven at-bats since being promoted Sept. 9. He was sent down Monday along with Sam Huff to make room for Josh Jung (thumb) and Adolis Garcia (knee), who were both activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Placed on 60-day IL

    Paris was moved to the 60-day injured list Monday due to a ligament tear in his left thumb.

    Paris was brought up Friday from Triple-A Salt Lake to get some opportunities in the big leagues, but he was sent for further evaluation Monday after injuring his left thumb. This diagnosis will force him to miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Exits early Monday

    Correa was removed from Monday's game against the Reds in the second inning after aggravating his left plantar fasciitis, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Correa ran a long way to track down a flyball in the bottom of the first inning, and he was removed in the top half of the second. The shortstop has been battling plantar fasciitis since late May, and this latest setback could force him to miss time. The team will likely re-evaluate Correa on Tuesday to determine his availability moving forward. In the meantime, look for Kyle Farmer to see opportunities at shortstop.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Promoted to Triple-A

    Brito was promoted to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Brito -- one of Cleveland's top prospects -- posted an .817 OPS at the Double-A level this season, and he will get a chance to show what he can do at the top level of the minors before the campaign comes to a close.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Heads to bench in Jung's return

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

    Smith had started at third base in each of the Rangers' last four games, but he's likely to handle more of a utility role moving forward after Texas reinstated Josh Jung (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday. The 25-year-old is hitting just .116 in September and likely won't be in store for steady at-bats down the stretch while the Rangers look to secure a playoff spot.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting in third straight

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

    Duran is on the bench for the third straight game and is unlikely to recapture an everyday role over the final two weeks of the season after the Rangers activated Josh Jung (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Monday. After getting off to a hot start to the season at the plate, Duran is slashing just .224/.291/.314 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Pops 10th homer

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

    Arias reached the double-digit home run milestone with a 394-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. He later added an additional RBI via a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Although the 23-year-old has cemented himself as the starting Cleveland shortstop, he has struggled at the dish this year. Arias has produced a .215/.281/.362 slash line over 117 games.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Losing work to Urias

    Reyes will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

    The righty-hitting Reyes will stick in the lineup against a lefty (Jordan Montgomery), but he had sat out on each of the last three occasions in which the Red Sox faced off against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox have seemingly moved Reyes into a utility role while Luis Urias has been prioritized at second base of late.
