Adames went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

This was Adames' second multi-hit effort over nine games since the All-Star break. He's batting .286 (10-for-35) with two homers and four RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to a .249/.333/.435 slash line with 17 long balls, 71 RBI, 57 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and 24 doubles over 106 contests as an all-around productive batter.

Witt went 4-for-5 with a grand slam, a double and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-5 victory over the White Sox.

The Kansas City shortstop slugged a pivotal grand slam off reliever John Brebbia in the eighth inning to give the Royals an 8-5 lead they wouldn't give up. Along with his monstrous homer, Witt also collected his second four-hit performance of the season to raise his AL-leading batting average to .347. The 24-year-old superstar has had a monumental month of July so far, hitting .488 (41-for-84) with seven homers, 22 runs scored and 21 RBI, as he enters the AL MVP discussion.

The Nationals acquired Ramirez, infielder Jose Tena and left-hander Alex Clemmey from the Guardians on Monday in exchange for outfielder Lane Thomas, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez has spent the 2024 season at Single-A Lynchburg, with whom he slashed .182/.294/.316 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 55 contests. The infielder will likely stick at the Single-A level with his new organization, joining the Nationals' Carolina League affiliate in Fredericksburg.

Henderson isn't in the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in the Orioles' 11-5 win in the first game of the day and will receive a rare game off for the nightcap. Jordan Westburg will cover shortstop for the Orioles in Henderson's stead.

Reds manager David Bell said that De La Cruz will be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs in what amounts to a routine maintenance day, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Per Rosecrans, Bell previously informed De La Cruz that he would receive a day off shortly before and after the All-Star break in an effort to keep him fresh down the stretch. After sitting out July 11, De La Cruz will be out of the lineup Monday for just the third time through 106 games this season. De La Cruz will get a chance to rest his feet one day after stealing a career-high-tying four bases in Sunday's loss to the Rays, bringing his total up to an MLB-leading 55 on the season.

The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Kreidler will provide some infield depth after shortstop Javier Baez (personal) was placed on the family medical emergency list in a corresponding move. He's hit just .153/.215/.206 over parts of three seasons at the big-league level.

The Tigers placed Baez (personal) on the family medical emergency list Monday.

By rule, Baez can miss 3-to-7 days while on the list, though the Tigers are hopeful that he'll rejoin the team in the minimum amount of time and be back in the lineup Thursday against the Royals, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Ryan Kreidler was called up from Triple-A Toledo to replace Baez on the active roster and should see reps at shortstop along with Zach McKinstry.

Rivas started at shortstop in Sunday's win over the White Sox, going 0-for-4 with an RBI fielder's choice.

The 26-year-old saw time as a late-inning defensive replacement in the opening game of the series Friday, but he did not log a plate appearances. Sunday's start therefore marked Rivas' first encounter with big-league pitching since way back on May 9, and the he managed to contribute the Mariners' third run of the afternoon with his third-inning groundout. With J.P. Crawford (finger) projected to be sidelined up to six weeks, Rivas should continue seeing occasional opportunities in the infield.

Schuemann went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

Schuemann went hitless for a second straight day but was able to swipe base No. 11 when he reached with a walk in the fourth. If he had enough plate appearances to qualify, Schuemann would lead the A's in walk rate at 11.7 percent, as he's shown an exceptionally patient eye at the plate as a rookie. The 27-year-old is slashing .256/.346/.364 with six homers, 26 RBI, 45 runs and a 33:76 BB:K in 292 plate appearances.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a ground-rule double, two stolen bases and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Sunday.

Moore made good use of his opportunities Sunday, stealing third after his second-inning ground-rule double and recording another pilfer after his fielder's choice groundout in the following frame. Moore has now hit safely in three straight, and Sunday marked his third multi-steal tally of the campaign and first since May 24. The versatile veteran is now just one stolen base away from reaching the 20-mark in that category for the third time in the last four seasons.
