Williamson (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 due to hamstring soreness but seems to be feeling well enough to play in the nightcap after a few extra hours of rest. The 25-year-old spent about six weeks on the injured list due to hamstring problems before returning Sunday. He went 0-for-3 in his first game back.

Aranda isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Aranda will get a chance to rest during the latter half of Tuesday's festivities after going 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1. Ryan Vilade will fill in as the Rays' first baseman and bat second.

The Astros returned Burrows (elbow/shoulder) from his rehab assignment Monday.

Burrows landed on the injured list in mid-July with right elbow inflammation, and he suffered a setback with his shoulder at the beginning of September that has extended his stint on the IL. He was cleared to restart his rehab assignment Saturday and pitched two shutout innings, but the fact that the Astros have again halted his assignment without activating him doesn't bode well for his chances of returning in the regular season.

The Athletics transferred Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

In a pair of corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Ginn faced the possibility of returning at the end of the 2026 season, but he was behind schedule in his recovery program, which inevitably led to his season concluding early. The starting pitcher landed on the 15-day injured list at the beginning of September due to a right elbow impingement.

The Athletics reinstated Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kuroda-Grauer had been out since suffering a testicular contusion July 20 against the Diamondbacks. He got surgery to address the testicle that was ruptured and was able to start rehab in the middle of August. As the young prospect returns to action Tuesday, the Athletics placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-injured list in corresponding moves.

Pederson (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, the veteran slugger hit off a tee Tuesday afternoon and is scheduled to do so again pregame. Pederson continues to deal with soreness in his fractured left hand and has some more hurdles to clear before returning to game action. He likely would have been on the bench Tuesday regardless of the injury since lefty Sean Manaea is starting for New York.

The Athletics placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee chondromalacia.

Muncy's 2026 season has come to a close with him landing on the 10-day injured list. He finished the year with a .230/.296/.387 slash line and nine home runs across 284 plate appearances in 82 games. In corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

The Rangers optioned Macko to the club's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday.

The left-hander was called up by Texas over the weekend and will return to the minors after firing 2.1 scoreless frames Sunday against the Blue Jays. Macko won't be eligible to be recalled by the Rangers before the end of the regular season unless the corresponding transaction is injury related.

The Rangers activated Gray (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Gray has been shelved for all of September with right elbow inflammation, but he'll go back directly onto the active roster without having made a rehab appearance. The rookie reliever has pitched well out of the Texas bullpen this season, logging a 3.93 ERA and 58:16 K:BB over 55 innings.

Peters (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

It's the third straight absence due to a bruised left shoulder for Peters, who sustained the injury on a collision with the outfield wall Friday versus Detroit. Brenton Doyle is picking up another start in center field and is batting seventh against Kansas City lefty Daniel Lynch.
