Robles went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.

Robles generated the only multi-hit effort of the contest for Seattle, accomplishing the feat for the fourth time in the last six games overall. The late-August/early-September surge has boosted Robles' season average 19 points to .299, and with current primary leadoff hitter J.P. Crawford now sitting on a .195/.301/.331 slash line for the season, Robles could conceivably retake the top spot in the order if both hitters' trajectories remain the same.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.

Raleigh squared up an Osvaldo Bido four-seam fastball in the first inning with J.P. Crawford aboard, giving the Mariners an early 2-0 lead via a 386-foot shot to right field. The power-hitting backstop snapped a 12-game homerless drought in the process, not to mention an 0-for-18 skid that had encompassed the previous four games. Raleigh now sits just three home runs away from surpassing the career-high 30 he belted in 2023, while his total of 82 RBI is already a new personal best.

Schmidt (lat) covered 4.2 innings in his rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Monday, giving up two earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out seven.

Making what was likely the third and final start of his rehab assignment, Schmidt kept Binghamton off the board for the first four innings before running into some trouble in the fifth. His final line was still strong, and the right-hander built up to 70 pitches (46 strikes) in the outing. On Sunday, manager Aaron Boone suggested that Schmidt has a good chance of coming off the 60-day injured list and slotting back into the rotation during this weekend's series in Chicago versus the Cubs, with Sunday looking to be his most likely return date. Luis Gil (back) also appears on track to return from the IL to start this weekend, so the Yankees are likely to go with a six-man rotation for at least one turn.

The Twins outrighted Richards to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Richards had been designated for assignment following a 4.15 ERA with 11 walks and seven wild pitches in 13 innings after being acquired at the trade deadline. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as relief depth at St. Paul.

Devers went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Mets.

Devers worked through discomfort in his shoulders all season, and it may finally be taking its toll on him. Earlier in the season, rest served Devers well, but a three-game sabbatical at the end of Boston's recent homestand hasn't had a similar effect. He's 1-for-17 in four games since returning to the lineup.

Story (shoulder) started at shortstop and went hitless in three at-bats during a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Story played the field for the first time while on rehab and was pulled after five innings. He served as the designated hitter in his first rehab outing Sunday and has gone 2-for-7 between the two games. Story likely needs a couple of weeks to get his timing back at the plate, but he could be available over the second half of September as the Red Sox make a push for the postseason.

Lowe went 1-for-4 in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Lowe was back in the lineup after getting a breather Sunday in favor of prospect Justin Foscue, which was notable. Given the plight of the Rangers, who are 9.5 games back of the final wild-card spot, the club may use the final month of the season to develop its younger talent, and Lowe could lose playing time as a result.

Langford went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

Langford brought Texas to within four runs with his two-run blast in the seventh inning. The multi-hit effort was his first in over a week -- the rookie outfielder had gone 3-for-20 over his previous six games. Langford hasn't lived up to the hype that carried many Rookie of the Year predictions prior to the start of the season, but he hasn't completely withered in his first foray against major-league pitching, slashing .244/.314/.377 with nine homers, 56 RBI, 51 runs and 12 stolen bases along with a mature 20.6 percent strikeout rate through 452 plate appearances.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 win against the Rangers on Monday.

Stanton drilled a 418-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in each of his first two games in September and has knocked in five runs across his past three contests. Stanton's 25 homers and 62 RBI in 2024 are each more than he posted last season, and he's improved his slash line considerably to .244/.303/.503 through 383 plate appearances.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Henderson helped Baltimore bounce back from an early 2-0 deficit, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot. It was his 34th homer of the year, 28 of which he's hit when he's slotted in atop the lineup. His other RBI came on a sacrifice fly and a groundout. Henderson snapped a 13-game homer drought Monday and now has a .276/.362/.530 slash line with 83 RBI, 103 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 137 contests. The shortstop has batted leadoff the last two times the Orioles have faced a right-hander, which suggests manager Brandon Hyde is going back to what worked well earlier in the season.
