Thorpe (elbow) is expected to make his next rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Though Thorpe appears to be fully stretched back out after covering at least four innings in each of his last five rehab outings, the White Sox have delayed his activation from the 60-day injured list. Chicago doesn't appear to have room for Thorpe in the big-league rotation, so the right-hander could remain with Charlotte through the end of his rehab window. Through his first seven minor-league appearances since starting up his rehab assignment following the All-Star break, Thorpe has delivered a 3.04 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 26.2 frames.

Anderson (ankle) has gone 4-for-17 with one home run, one walk, four RBI and three runs in five games for Double-A Chesapeake since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

After completing a six-game rehab assignment at High-A Frederick, Anderson received the green light to rejoin the Chesapeake lineup. The young backstop was on the shelf for just under two months due to a left ankle injury.

Manager Aaron Boone stated Monday that Judge (ribs) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during the Yankees' upcoming homestand, which runs from Sept. 8 - Sept. 13, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Boone isn't yet ready to commit to a firm date for Judge's return, but it's a positive development that he's inching closer. The slugger was cleared to begin a hitting progression almost two weeks ago and has more recently advanced to hitting in the batting cage. A more exact timetable for Judge's return could become more clear over the next week.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Though he'll be on the bench while the White Sox send southpaw Anthony Kay to the hill for the series opener, the left-handed-hitting Trammell appears to have usurped LaMonte Wade in the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield. Trammell cracked the lineup for each of the Astros' last five matchups with right-handed starters, but he went just 1-for-15 with a 1:2 BB:K during that stretch.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

The Astros will hand Diaz a day off after he had started behind the plate in three of the previous four contests. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Houston in its series opener versus Chicago.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Altuve will hit the bench for the first time since Aug. 12, ending a streak of 15 consecutive starts. He'll be spelled at second base by Nick Allen, who will bat eighth.

Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Carter will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw Gage Jump to the hill for the series opener. Ezequiel Duran will replace Carter in center field and will bat leadoff.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Pederson will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw Gage Jump to the hill for the series opener. Elias Diaz will replace Pederson as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Walton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

After making starts in the middle infield for the final two games of the Athletics' weekend series versus the Orioles, Walton will hit the bench for the first of three contests in Arlington. Jeff McNeil will cover the keystone and Darell Hernaiz will draw the start at shortstop Monday.

Leasure underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in August, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Leasure will miss the remainder of this season and likely all of next season while on the mend. Fegan notes that the right-hander hopes to be ready for spring of 2028. Leasure landed on the injured list in late May with a right flexor strain, and while he had been cleared to resume throwing side sessions at the beginning of August, it was ultimately determined that he needed to go under the knife to repair his UCL.
