Twins manager Derek Shelton said that Ryan (glute) will throw a one-inning live batting practice session Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Since landing on the injured list Aug. 7 due to a left glute strain, Ryan has completed a pair of bullpen sessions and will now take the next step forward in his recovery by facing hitters. The Twins will have a better sense of the right-hander's timeline for a return from the IL after Wednesday's throwing session, though Shelton indicated that Ryan will need to go on a rehab assignment prior to being activated.

The Mariners said Monday that Donovan's concussion symptoms are starting to improve, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Donovan was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday after he was struck by a ball in the batting cage over the weekend. He's eligible to be activated Saturday, though he'll have some steps to clear in the protocol before getting the green light to return to action for the Mariners.

Delgado was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Delgado was promoted to the big leagues Thursday and appeared in two games, going 0-for-4 with a run scored and a walk. However, he'll report to Triple-A following Monday's move, which opened up a spot for Nelson Velazquez.

Bonemer will get some starts in center field later this week with Double-A Birmingham, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

To this point in his pro career, Bonemer has played only shortstop and third base. However, with Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas holding down the left side of the infield for the White Sox, Bonemer will get some exposure to the outfield. The 20-year-old has slashed .249/.381/.556 with 33 home runs and 16 stolen bases between Birmingham and High-A Winston-Salem this season.

Bazzana is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Bazzana will exit the lineup for Monday's series opener after starting each of the previous 10 contests. Angel Genao will occupy second base in Bazzana's stead.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will undergo season-ending left wrist surgery Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The exact nature of the procedure isn't clear, but Emerson is expected to be 100 percent recovered in time for spring training. The rookie infielder finishes his season having slashed .190/.246/.335 with eight home runs, three stolen bases and a 15:83 BB:K over 69 games. Despite the lackluster first stint in the big leagues, Emerson is the odds-on favorite to open the 2027 campaign as the Mariners' starting shortstop.

Woo (shoulder) said Monday that he's "100 percent confident" he will make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies at T-Mobile Park, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo last pitched Aug. 16 against the Astros, with a sore right shoulder causing him to miss his most recent turn through the rotation this past weekend. He felt optimistic about his shoulder after throwing a bullpen session Sunday, and barring any setbacks, the right-hander looks set to re-enter the rotation for Wednesday's series finale. Over 24 starts this season, Woo has gone 9-8 with a 4.10 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 137:29 K:BB across 138.1 innings.

Crawford (wrist) has rejoined the Mariners in Seattle and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford has been out for all of August due to left wrist inflammation, but he's nearly ready to roll after going 4-for-11 with one home run in three rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. With Colt Emerson (wrist) and Brendan Donovan (concussion) shelved, Crawford should see plenty of playing time on the left side of the Mariners' infield, once he's activated.

Mesa (hamstring) will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Mesa landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 19 after aggravating a left hamstring injury. Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Monday that Mesa will play "a couple of games" in Durham, and if all goes well, the 24-year-old outfielder could be back with the parent club when eligible to come off the IL on Saturday.

Thorpe (elbow) is scheduled for a rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Thorpe has slowly built up his workload since embarking on his rehab assignment in mid-July, with the right-hander having completed five innings in each of his last two outings. Tuesday's start may be his last before being cleared to return from the IL. However, with five healthy starts in the White Sox's rotation and Davis Martin (finger) expected to be back in late August, Thorpe could stay in Charlotte as he has minor-league options remaining. Thorpe is in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in April of 2025.
