Soroka (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Soroka has been shelved since the All-Star break with a right shoulder strain but is finally ready to test himself in a game setting. The right-hander had been pitching in relief before getting injured, and given how little time is left in the season, he'll likely return to a bullpen role when the White Sox think he's ready.

Gaddis (4-3) allowed a run on two hits over one-third of an inning, taking the loss in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Gaddis allowed a solo home run to Bobby Witt in the eighth inning, which put the Royals ahead 4-3. This was the third time Gaddis has been scored upon in August, and the last two instances have been solo homers. While he's been a little shaky lately, the right-hander still has an impressive 1.65 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 55:12 K:BB while racking up 28 holds over 60 innings this season.

Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada started his initial rehab assignment in early July but was pulled off after just five games due to general soreness. He's now ready to give it a go again, setting up a potential return from the 60-day injured list in early September if all goes well this time around. Moncada's last game with the White Sox before he suffered an adductor strain came back in early April.

Amaya was added to the 26-man roster by the White Sox ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Amaya was just claimed off waivers from the Astros on Monday and will report directly to the major-league club. The 25-year-old has hit just .223/.313/.336 across 291 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. Amaya is capable of handling shortstop, second base and third base and should see a decent amount of playing time down the stretch for the rebuilding White Sox.

The White Sox optioned Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

He was just recalled Monday but will be sent right back down in order to make room for waiver claim Jacob Amaya. Ramos did not make an appearance during his most recent brief stint in the big leagues.

Santos (biceps) has begun throwing at the Mariners' extended spring training in Arizona but remains without a timetable for return, MLB.com reports.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander noted Monday that the team's medical staff doesn't believe there's a kinetic chain issue with Santos after he also missed over three months earlier this season with a right latissimus dorsi strain. However, whether Santos can return before the end of the season remains an open question, and given his checkered medical history the last few months, the team may opt to play it safe.

Garcia (shoulder) has begun throwing at extended spring training in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander notes Garcia remains without a timeline for return, but there's still hope the right-hander will be able to pitch again at some point in September. Garcia was in the early stages of his Mariners tenure when the shoulder issue popped up, as he'd been acquired via trade from the Blue Jays on July 26 and had logged a total of nine innings across 10 appearances.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Monday.

After delivering a two-hit effort that also included a steal as a late addition to Sunday's lineup, Rojas drew another start at the hot corner and kept up the productivity. The 30-year-old's two-bagger was only his second extra-base hit of August, but after a dreadful start to the month, he's now sporting a .269 average and .745 OPS across the 28 plate appearances covering his last eight games.

Polanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Rays on Monday.

Polanco uncorked a 341-foot laser to right field in the second inning to answer a Josh Lowe homer for the Rays in the visitor half of the frame. Polanco's round tripper snapped an eight-game homerless drought, and he's now just four away from putting together his best season in that department since his outlier 33-homer campaign for the Twins in 2021.

Raley went 1-for-4 with a double in a win over the Rays on Monday.

Raley had been a late scratch from Sunday's lineup due to an illness, but he was well enough to jump back into the starting nine Monday and face his old Rays squad. Raley has picked up the pace at the plate in August, as Monday's two-bagger was his seventh extra-base hit out of 14 total knocks this month.
