Chisholm was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies due to a thumb injury, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Chisholm injured his thumb while sliding into second base during the top of the ninth, and he was removed from the game in the bottom of the inning. Manager Aaron Boone said the 28-year-old's thumb was still feeling numb after the game, so the team will wait to see how he feels Wednesday before determining his availability. Jose Caballero would presumably pick up starts at second base if Chisholm is unable to play.

Neto went 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during the Angels' 6-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Neto's four hits Tuesday were his second most of the season, and he capped off his night with a two-run home run over the Green Monster to give the Angels a five-run lead. The 25-year-old shortstop has had his ups and downs this season but is enjoying a productive season overall. Neto has a .242/.321/.436 slash line with 19 steals (in 30 attempts), 24 home runs and 69 RBI over 626 plate appearances this year.

Alexander was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to back spasms, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Alexander went 1-for-3 with a run scored before his back forced him out of the game in the ninth inning. The team hasn't provided any details regarding the severity of his injury, but if the 27-year-old needs to miss time, Jackson Holliday would be next in line to start at second base.

Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during the Yankees' 5-3 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Judge was officially back in the lineup Tuesday after missing more than three months while on the IL due to a stress fracture in his ribs. He didn't have the performance he wanted in front of the home crowd, striking out in both his first and third plate appearances while flying out to center field in the fourth inning. Judge is expected to be eased back into action given his lengthy absence and lack of a rehab assignment, so he'll see some extra days off and occasionally serve as the designated hitter over the final weeks of the regular season.

Detmers (5-8) earned the win against Boston on Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out nine across six scoreless innings.

Detmers allowed only three baserunners during his start (including a hit-by-pitch) and generated 14 whiffs on a career-high 112 pitches (73 strikes). It was seventh time this season (and third time since the All-Star break) that Detmers struck out at least nine batters, and his 191 punchouts (over 168 innings) are fourth most in the American League this season. He'll take a 3.32 ERA and 1.03 WHIP into his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Mariners in what currently projects as a two-start week for the 27-year-old southpaw.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

McGonigle provided all of Detroit's offense in the fifth inning with his 16th home run of the season, which was his second long ball in as many nights. After slowing down a bit in August with a .231 batting average and .697 OPS across 27 games, the rookie infielder is aiming to wrap up his debut campaign with a flourish. No matter how he finishes the year, McGonigle has done more than enough to establish himself as a rising fantasy star heading into 2027.

Henderson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent foot injury, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Henderson fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the eighth inning. He initially remained in the game, drew a walk and advanced to second on a Coby Mayo groundout, but he was then pulled after a visit from a trainer. He'll likely undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Orioles may provide more information on his health after the game.

Langeliers (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Langeliers has missed most of the second half after undergoing a meniscectomy on his right knee July 28, but after a speedy recovery, the 28-year-old backstop could be ready to return to the Athletics' lineup by the time the team begins its next road trip next Tuesday. He is expected to work exclusively as a designated hitter for the rest of the season, which means Jonah Heim and Brian Serven will continue to split starts behind the plate after Langeliers is activated.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

Freeman will get a breather after going 0-for-10 over his last four games. Nicky Lopez will fill in at third base and bat ninth.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Diaz will take a seat Tuesday after collecting a base hit in each of his last five starts. Danny Jansen will fill in as Texas' catcher and bat ninth.
