Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Carpenter (hamstring) completed running drills at full speed Monday at Comerica Park, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports.

Hinch noted that if Carpenter's right hamstring responds well to the workout when he's re-evaluated Tuesday, the next step for the outfielder/designated hitter will be to head out on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo later this week. Carpenter has been on the shelf since July 2, so he'll likely need at least a couple of games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate before he makes his return to the Detroit lineup, perhaps early next week.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Monday against the White Sox.

Diaz slugged his 16th home run of the season in the seventh inning to continue his strong performance in July. He's hit .306 across 72 plate appearances during the month with three homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs.

Robert went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Rays.

Robert extended his hitting streak to eight games, pre-dating the All-Star break. He has hit .393 with two home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and three stolen bases in that span. Robert remains in the lower half of the White Sox's batting order, but that could change if he keeps up his recent caliber of production.

Rafaela went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Rafaela, who saw an end to a 12-game hit streak Sunday, was back at it Monday with a two-hit night. He's been on a tear the last month, going 31-for-94 (.330) with 10 doubles, eight home runs, 22 RBI, four steals and 19 runs scored over the last 25 contests.

Bregman is not at 100 percent when running the bases, but he's still expected to continue handling a near-everyday role, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Bregman's abilities on the bases appeared to be compromised during Monday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies, when he was unable to score from first base on a Roman Anthony double down the right field line. He eventually scored two pitches later, so his tentative baserunning didn't end up costing the Red Sox. As Cotillo reported when Bregman returned to action prior to the All-Star break, manager Alex Cora said that the veteran third baseman would not be running hard in certain situations as the Red Sox aim to preserve his health. Since Bregman was activated from the injured list July 11, the Red Sox have managed his workload by giving him a day off following two consecutive starts. He'll start Tuesday's game in Philadelphia but is likely to rest in Wednesday's series finale.

France (shoulder) threw 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out two in a Florida Complex League rehab start Monday.

France has slowly ramped up his throwing intensity, most recently throwing live batting practice in mid-July. He's been sidelined the entire 2025 season, so he's likely to have a lengthy rehab stint. An exact timeline for his return has yet to be established, but France should debut at some point late in the season.

Semien went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Semien stole his eighth base of the season in the first inning but was stranded there. He's yet to garner a hit in the second half, going 0-for-14 with two walks in the four games following the All-Star break.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that Arias (ankle) should be back "pretty soon," if all continues to go well, MLB.com reports.

Arias began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Friday and played another game Sunday before the Clippers had Monday off. He started at shortstop in both but has yet to play a full game.

Kwan went 2-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Monday's 10-5 win over the Orioles.

Kwan missed the first three games following the All-Star break with pain in his right wrist. He was back in his normal role Monday, starting in left field and batting leadoff. He batted .138 (4-for-29) in the seven games leading up to the All-Star Game.

Bieber (elbow) will make a rehab start Tuesday at High-A Lake County, MLB.com reports.

Bieber, who threw two innings (32 pitches) in a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League last week, is targeted for three innings and between 40 and 45 pitches Tuesday. That path suggests at least two more rehab outings for the right-hander before he rejoins the Guardians' rotation.
