Witt went 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

The Royals managed just five hits in the game as they were blanked by the Guardians. Witt's base knock came in the ninth to put runners on the corners, but his team was unable to capitalize. Now that he's feeling better, Witt should be back to being a lineup fixture, especially with the Royals still clawing at a wild-card spot.

Winn has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee that will require arthroscopic surgery over the offseason, but he plans to continue playing through the issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Winn has dealt with nagging soreness in the knee for much of the season and it has caused him to miss games here and there, including Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners. However, the shortstop has been told it's unlikely he'll do additional damage if he plays through the injury, so his availability will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The impending surgery isn't expected to affect his offseason routine or his readiness for spring training. Winn is slashing .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases in 2025, and he leads all of baseball with 22 Outs Above Average, per Statcast.

Betts went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Betts has turned his season around in a big way, hitting safely in 12 of his last 15 games. Seven of those have been multi-hit efforts, giving him a .345 average over that span. He's also swatted four homers during the hot stretch, putting him at 17 long balls on the year. Betts has added a .255/.324/.397 slash line with 69 RBI, 85 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases through 134 contests.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Red Sox.

Wilson has logged four games of three hits over his last nine contests. He was responsible for the Athletics' lone extra-base hit Tuesday, which was his first since a Sept. 1 double versus the Cardinals. The shortstop has a .319/.360/.451 slash line with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 55 runs scored, five stolen bases and 21 doubles over 110 contests. While he doesn't walk a lot with a 5.2 percent walk rate, his 7.6 percent strikeout rate has enabled him to remain effective throughout the season through pure contact skills.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Adames cashed in when the Giants were able to put their first two batters on base in the first inning, crushing a three-run home run off Zac Gallen. This homer is part of a larger surge that has seen Adames launch six long balls over his last 12 games while going 14-for-43 (.326) in that span. On the year, the shortstop has a .230/.318/.432 slash line with 28 homers, 81 RBI, 87 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 19 doubles and two triples across 143 games.

Winn was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to right knee pain, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Winn's knee has given him problems throughout the season, most recently preventing him from playing Aug. 24 against the Rays. He'll get another day off Tuesday to manage his injury, and his sudden absence will move Thomas Saggese to shortstop while Jose Fermin enters as the Cardinals' second baseman.

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

Witt missed the previous three contests with back spasms, but he's feeling well enough to return to action for the second game of a four-game set in Cleveland. The Royals went 1-2 in the three games Witt missed.

Williams is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Williams started the Rays' last game Sunday versus a lefty and hit a homer, but this marks the second straight time he's been out of the lineup against a right-hander. It's unlikely Williams will fall into the short side of a platoon, but it will be the left-handed-hitting Tristan Gray handling shortstop again Tuesday.

Arias (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

Arias had to depart Monday's contest with right wrist inflammation. While he managed to avoid a serious injury, he will be forced to miss at least one start. Brayan Rocchio will slide over to shortstop and Daniel Schneemann will handle second base for the Guardians on Tuesday.

The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee sprain.

Bichette appeared to tweak something on a slide into home plate during Saturday's game against the Yankees. He finished that contest but was then out of the lineup Sunday, and subsequent testing has revealed a sprain. The severity of the sprain isn't known at this time, so it's uncertain whether Bichette has a chance to return when eligible Sept. 17. Ernie Clement is starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Astros, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa should also be in the mix for starts at the position while Bichette is shelved.
