Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

Arozarena put the Mariners on the board early with a solo home run off Kumar Rocker in the second inning. Arozarena has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to 13 home runs on the year. He has gone 10-for-38 (.263) with two solo home runs and seven runs scored in 10 games since the All-Star break.

Carter went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 win over the Mariners.

Carter, who made a fourth consecutive start Monday, has a steal in each of his last two games, upping his total to 13 for the season (caught once). He's provided offense during the four-start run, going 4-for-12 with two doubles, four walks, two RBI, two steals and three runs scored. Carter should find his name in the lineup whenever the Rangers face a right-hander

Kirby (8-9) took the loss against the Rangers on Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits while striking out three across four innings.

Kirby tied a career high with four home runs allowed in Monday's game, two of which came off the bat of Joc Pederson, and the seven runs that the former allowed were his most of the season and his most since Sept. 3, 2025. It broke Kirby's streak of quality starts at six, and it was just the second time this season that he completed less than five innings. He'll take a 3.98 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 120 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against Minnesota.

The Tigers placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Monday with left foot plantar fasciitis.

He exited Sunday's game versus the Royals with what was initially referred to as an aggravation of a bruised right heel, but after being evaluated further, Carpenter has been tagged with a plantar fasciitis diagnosis. It's an injury with the potential to lead to a lengthy absence, though it could be a pain tolerance issue for Carpenter. Matt Vierling, Hao-Yu Lee and Eduardo Valencia are candidates for more reps for the Tigers while Carpenter is out.

Smith started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 win over Seattle.

Smith made a third consecutive start at third base, where he's filling in for the injured Josh Jung (calf). The steal was the third (caught once) over 42 games for Smith, who posted double-digit steals in each of the last two seasons. With both Jung and shortstop Corey Seager (back) on the 10-day injured list, Smith could see regular at-bats in the short term.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

He'll join fellow left-handed hitters Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon on the bench while southpaw Noah Schultz toes the rubber for the White Sox in the series opener. Grisham will be getting his first day off since July 8, breaking a streak of 13 consecutive starts during which he went just 7-for-49 (.143 average) with two home runs, no stolen bases, four RBI and five runs.

Kurtz is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Monday.

Kurtz has gone 1-for-7 with a three-run home run and five strikeouts in his two games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday. He'll take a seat for Monday's series opener while Jeff McNeil starts at first base and Tyler Soderstrom serves as the designated hitter.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Bellinger is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Bellinger suffered the injury during Saturday's game versus the Phillies and was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. It's another significant blow to a Yankees offense that's already missing Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf). Spencer Jones will get plenty of reps in the outfield while Bellinger is out, and Max Schuemann will see some action versus lefties.

Benge is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

The left-handed-hitting Benge isn't always shielded from left-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench Monday while Atlanta sends southpaw Martin Perez to the bump. With Benge out of the lineup, Tyrone Taylor will pick up a start in left field and will bat seventh.

Susac is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Susac will be idle for a second consecutive game while Jesus Rodriguez starts behind home plate and bats ninth while forming a battery with right-hander Tyler Mahle. Since the All-Star break, Susac has gone 2-for-14 with one steal and one RBI.
