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.

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

The Rangers will keep Lopez on the bench for a fifth consecutive game. Two of his absences from the lineup have come against right-handed pitchers, so the left-handed-hitting Lopez may have lost his grip on a strong-side platoon role in the Texas infield. Lopez's downturn in playing time comes while he's struggled to a .111/.167/.148 slash line over his last 23 games.

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

Since coming off the 60-day injured list last Tuesday, Jansen has yet to start consecutive games behind the plate. Jansen -- who has posted a career-worst .548 OPS over 152 plate appearances on the season -- looks like he could be part of a three-headed timeshare at catcher with Elias Diaz and Logan O'Hoppe.

Whitlock (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday in Miami, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Whitlock has bounced back quickly after landing on the 15-day injured list in mid-August with right elbow inflammation. If all goes well when he faces hitters Wednesday, Whitlock has a chance to avoid a rehab assignment and return to the active roster as soon as this weekend. The right-handed reliever has been terrific this season in a setup role, authoring a 2.05 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB across 44 innings.

The Athletics announced Monday that Langeliers (knee) has begun hitting and throwing progressions, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Langeliers is four weeks removed from undergoing a meniscectomy for his right knee. The Athletics haven't ruled out a late-season return for the All-Star catcher, but even in a best-case scenario, he would likely make it back for only a handful of games. Langeliers has clubbed 23 home runs while collecting an .829 OPS across 93 contests this season.
