Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.

Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.

The Orioles activated Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Rutschman has missed the last month-plus with a right oblique strain but will rejoin the Orioles' active roster for the final week of the regular season. He and Samuel Basallo should share catching duties in the final week, with both players also likely to see action action at designated hitter. Basallo could play some first base, as well.

The Orioles optioned Vazquez to the minors Monday.

He'll give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Vazquez had played sparingly since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 1, appearing in 24 games while batting .189 with one home run and two steals.

Vargas allowed one run on one hit in 1.2 innings Sunday against the Astros. He struck out one.

Vargas has been a liability out of the Seattle bullpen of late, giving up at least one run in three of his last four outings. The right-hander has mostly worked as a middle reliever and in low-leverage situations in 2025, and that's unlikely to change at this stage of the season while the Mariners try to clinch a playoff berth. Through 74 frames, Vargas has a 4.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB with 14 holds while converting just one of his eight save opportunities.

Ferguson allowed one run on three hits in one-third of an inning Sunday against the Astros.

The Mariners acquired Ferguson from the Pirates ahead of the trade deadline to bolster their bullpen, but he hasn't been particularly reliable for his new team. Through 18.1 innings for Seattle, the southpaw has a 3.93 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB. Given Ferguson's shakiness, Gabe Speier will likely remain the preferred left-handed high-leverage arm for the M's in the future.

Hendricks is expected to announce his retirement from professional baseball following the 2025 season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Nightengale relays that the 35-year-old right-hander has already informed friends and family that he expects to bring an end to his 12-year MLB career, though a formal announcement may not be made until later in the offseason. After joining the Angels on a one-year, $2.5 million deal this past winter, Hendricks has been a serviceable innings eater, logging an 8-10 record, 4.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:43 K:BB across 159.2 frames. He spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Cubs, winning his lone World Series title in 2016 while also leading the majors in ERA (2.13) and finishing third in NL Cy Young Award balloting that same season.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

The game was tied 1-1 entering the 10th, and the Yankees exploded for six runs in the extra frame. One of those runs came on Chisholm's solo homer to right field. It was the second baseman's second homer over his past three games and marked his third straight contest with at least one RBI. Chisholm has a career-high 31 home runs and 79 RBI through 124 games on the campaign, and he's added 30 thefts for his first career 30-30 season.

The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Keirsey was recalled this past weekend and saw only one plate appearance. He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for the return of Christian Vazquez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list.

The Twins activated Vazquez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Vazquez has been shelved since early August following surgery to remove an infection from his left shoulder, but he's ready to go now after a brief rehab assignment. Ryan Jeffers' (concussion) status remains in flux, which could leave Vazquez with regular catching duties in the final week of the season.

Soler (back) has continued to ramp up his activity at the Angels' complex in Arizona, but he appears unlikely to be activated from the 60-day injured list before the season ends Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. "Whether he's activated or not, we'll see," interim manager Ray Montgomery said of Soler. "But in terms of the mentality, he knows his body is in a good spot. Going into the offseason, that would be huge."

Soler has been on the shelf since July 26 due to low back inflammation, and though he's seemingly steered clear of setbacks since reporting to Arizona on Sept. 11 to continue his workouts, the Angels are eliminated from playoff contention and don't have much incentive to rush the 33-year-old back for the final week of the season. Before landing on the IL, Soler slashed .215/.293/.387 with 12 home runs, 34 RBI and 31 runs in 82 games. Soler should be in line for a normal offseason and will be entering the final season of a three-year, $42 million contract in 2026.
