Morales will have his contract selected from Triple-A Rochester prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Yordano Carmona of Pelota Cubana USA reports.

Morales has put together a strong campaign at Triple-A, where he's hitting .286 with 25 home runs, 76 RBI, six stolen bases and 82 runs over 104 games. The 24-year-old's promotion will be made official Tuesday when rosters expand. Morales made 47 starts at first base, 40 starts at the hot corner and 17 starts as the designated hitter for the Red Wings this season, so he'll likely have a few different paths to playing time with the Nationals.

Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

Lee provided all of Detroit's offense in the lopsided loss with a sixth inning solo shot, his eighth home run of the season. The rookie, who started at third base Monday before shifting over to second, has settled into a regular infield role recently for the Tigers. Detroit is now sitting at 63-74 and falling out of the playoff race, which means Lee is likely to hold onto the increased playing time, with veteran Gleyber Torres in line to see his opportunities decrease. Lee has played well so far at the MLB level and is only boosting his fantasy stock heading into 2027, when he could be a full-time starter to begin the year.

Massey (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

It's not exactly clear as to when Massey underwent UCL surgery, but he was placed on the 7-day injured list to begin the 2025 campaign and was then transferred to the 60-day IL in April 2025. He's since made a full recovery and made his professional debut at Single-A Lakeland on Friday, where he allowed two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings.

Watson (oblique) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Watson, who landed on the injured list in May due to an oblique injury, wrapped up a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn on Aug. 21 and has since returned to Double-A Binghamton. He's struggled at Double-A so far this season, accruing a 7.83 ERA and 1.78 WHIP with a 21:14 K:BB across 23.0 innings.

Serrano (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Serrano ended up missing just over 10 weeks after picking up a shoulder strain in mid June. He reported to Double-A Binghamton following his activation and is 5-for-20 with two home runs and five RBI in five games since his return.

Hernandez will have his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Guardians Prospective reports.

Hernandez has been decent at Triple-A since being activated from the 60-day injured list near the end of July, though one blowup outing against Saint Paul on Aug. 20 has inflated his ERA to 5.40 over 13.1 innings (12 appearances). He'll be called on to provide bullpen support for the Guardians once rosters expand Tuesday.

Jackson (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-25 (.200 average) with two doubles, two steals and a 2:5 BB:K in six games for Double-A Somerset since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 23.

Jackson ended up missing just over a week due to an unspecified injury. The 22-year-old infielder owns a .238/.327/.333 slash line and has gone a perfect 6-for-6 on stolen-base attempts over 49 plate appearances at Somerset since being promoted from High-A Hudson Valley on Aug. 11.

Hassell (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games for Triple-A Indianapolis since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

The 25-year-old outfielder has spent time at three levels since joining the Pirates organization in a July 16 trade, slashing .256/.373/.326 with three stolen bases over 12 contests.

Schneemann will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Guardians Prospective reports.

Schneemann was optioned to the minors July 24 but has impressed at the dish since the demotion, slashing .326/.457/.533 with three home runs, 10 RBI, four stolen bases and 32 runs over 25 games. He'll serve in a utility role for Cleveland and has started at six different positions this season in the big leagues, primarily manning third base and center field.

Double-A Midland placed Baez on the 7-day injured list Aug. 5 due to an unspecified injury.

Baez has hit the shelf on two occasions this season, with another injury costing him about five weeks of action earlier in 2026. The 23-year-old righty possesses a spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster, but he's not believed to be in the mix for a September call-up, especially while he's on the mend from another injury. Baez owns a 7.09 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 53.1 innings over his 14 starts for Midland on the season.
