Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Back in big leagues
The Brewers recalled Sproat from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
He'll join the 28-man active roster as a replacement in the bullpen for Grant Anderson (biceps), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Sproat has primarily operated as a starter between stops with Milwaukee and Nashville this season, but he made his most recent Triple-A appearance as a reliever. The 25-year-old has posted a 5.27 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 100:48 K:BB over 95.2 innings with the big club in 2026.

Brewers' Grant Anderson: Out with biceps inflammation
The Brewers placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right biceps inflammation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Anderson has pitched well in his most recent stint in the majors, allowing two runs (one earned) with an 11:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings. However, he will now be out at least until the final week of the regular season. Brandon Sproat was called up from Triple-A Nashville to take Anderson's place in the bullpen.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Remains out with elbow injury
Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Caglianone will miss a second consecutive start after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left flexor strain. The Royals aren't anticipating Caglianone requiring a stint on the injured list, with manager Matt Quatraro noting that the 23-year-old is feeling "better" but not scheduled to do any hitting or throwing Monday, per Joel Penfield of KCSN.com. John Rave will play right field for the Royals in the series opener.

Braves' Sean Murphy: Taking seat Monday
Murphy is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.
Murphy has seen the bulk of the reps at catcher for Atlanta lately, with Drake Baldwin serving as the designated hitter those days. However, Murphy will be on the bench and Baldwin will do the catching as Atlanta wraps up its series against the Phillies.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Live BP session Monday

Justin Foscue 2B | TEX
Rangers' Justin Foscue: Involved in win
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 8-6 win over Tampa Bay.
Per usual, Foscue was in the lineup against a left-handed starter, and he delivered a game-tying double in the fourth inning to erase the Rays' early lead. He's hit safely in five straight games, going 5-for-14 with two doubles, one home run and five RBI during that streak. When not starting, he's often a mid-game replacement when opponents bring in a lefty reliever.

Brayan Bello RP | BOS
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Making start Monday
Bello will start Monday's game against the Angels.
Despite thriving out of the bullpen this season with a 2.03 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 62 innings, Bello will be deployed in a traditional starting role for the first time since June 4. In his prior eight starts, Bello has struggled mightily, logging a 10.35 ERA and 2.22 WHIP. Bello threw 69 pitches in his most recent relief appearance and threw 94 in the outing prior to that, so he's stretched out enough to provide significant length.
