Giants' Grant McCray: Summoned from Triple-A
The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
McCray appeared in 10 games for San Francisco last month and slashed just .100/.100/.200 with a 0:10 BB:K across 21 plate appearances. He owns a .746 OPS with 15 home runs and 27 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances with Sacramento this season.

Kody Clemens 2B | MIN
Twins' Kody Clemens: Taking seat Monday
Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
Edouard Julien will step in at first base in place of Clemens, who had started in each of the Twins' last four games, facing off against two right-handers and two lefties. Though Clemens finished August with a lowly .536 OPS, Julien didn't fare much better on the month (.545 OPS), and Clemens' longer track record of success in the majors this season could be enough to make him the preferred option at first base during the final month of the campaign.

J.T. Brubaker RP | SF
Giants' JT Brubaker: Joins big-league roster
The Giants selected Brubaker's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Brubaker inked a minor-league deal with San Francisco last month following his release from the Yankees. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for New York this season, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 16 innings. He'll likely work in relief for the Giants initially, but he could get a look in the rotation at some point in September with injuries having tested the team's starting depth of late.

Riley O'Brien RP | STL
Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Shut down from throwing
O'Brien will be shut down from throwing after undergoing an MRI on his sore right shoulder Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
The Cardinals have yet to provide word on the results of the MRI, but a move to the 15-day injured list for O'Brien feels inevitable. O'Brien has been used as a high-leverage reliever for the Cardinals over the last couple months and picked up a pair of saves in August, but now his health status is murky. JoJo Romero is the favorite to close games for the Cardinals in September, with Kyle Leahy also in the mix.

Craig Yoho RP | CLE
Brewers' Craig Yoho: Back in majors
The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Yoho came into the season as one of baseball's top reliever prospects, but his control has deserted him in the majors. He has an 8.22 ERA and 9:5 BB:K in 7.2 innings across three separate stints with the Brewers in 2025. Yoho has been as advertised at Triple-A, however, logging a 1.04 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 55 strikeouts and seven saves in 43.1 innings across 39 appearances. Yoho should work in low-leverage situations as he rejoins Milwaukee, at least initially.

Logan O'Hoppe DH | TEX
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Yielding to d'Arnaud again
O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Houston, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
O'Hoppe will give way to Travis d'Arnaud at catcher for the second day in a row after he had started each of the previous three games. The 25-year-old O'Hoppe had a dreadful August, slashing .129/.169/.194 with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate.

Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Reinstated from IL on Monday
The Brewers activated Ortiz (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday
Ortiz will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies, with his return from the shelf pushing Andruw Monasterio back into a utility infielder role. Though he holds a weak .612 OPS on the season, Ortiz has performed much better since the All-Star break, slashing .294/.330/.394 slash line with one home run and two steals in 32 second-half contests.

Donovan Solano 1B | TEX
Donovan Solano: Cut by Seattle
The Mariners released Solano on Monday.
After playing regularly against left-handed pitching for most of the first half of the season, Solano saw his at-bats fall by the wayside once the Mariners acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks on July 24 and installed him as their everyday first baseman. Since Naylor's debut, Solano has started just three times and appeared in only five games. The Mariners opted to cut him loose to make room on the roster for Leo Rivas, who brings more defensive flexibility to the table.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Taking seat Monday
Moncada is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Houston, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada started each of the first three games of the series but will take a seat in Monday's finale. Oswald Peraza will handle third base and bat second for the Halos.
