Stott left Sunday's game against the Cardinals in the eighth inning due to a right foot contusion, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Stott sustained the injury when he fouled a ball off the side of his foot in the sixth inning, but he remained in the game for the seventh before being pulled. X-rays on his foot were negative following the contest, and the Phillies will re-evaluate the infielder ahead of Monday's series opener in Seattle. Edmundo Sosa could draw the spot start at third base if Stott, who has taken over as Philadelphia's primary third baseman since the acquisition of Luis Arraez (hamstring) at the trade deadline, needs a day off to heal.

McMahon said that he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left thumb sprain after the Yankees placed him on the 10-day injured list Friday, Randy Miller of NJ.com reports.

McMahon initially thought that he jammed the thumb when he slid into second base during the second inning of Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles, but imaging Friday revealed a moderate sprain. Per MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said that McMahon has a shot at returning in the minimum 10 days, though the 31-year-old would likely need to resume baseball activities within the next couple of days for that to be a realistic possibility. Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario are expected to share time at third base while McMahon is out.

Lopez (knee) struck out four and allowed three hits and one walk over four scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Lopez made his first rehab appearance since being placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 due to left knee inflammation. The 32-year-old handled a healthy workload in his return to the mound, tossing 35 of his 50 total pitches for strikes. Though it's unclear whether Atlanta intends to clear a spot in the rotation for Lopez upon his return, the club will at least give him the chance to build up as a starter during his rehab assignment. He'll likely make at least one more appearance in the minors prior to being activated.

Gausman (hand) is listed as the Cubs' probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

Gausman dealt with cramping in his non-pitching hand during his previous appearance in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox, but he apparently made it through his between-starts bullpen session without issue and will be able to take his next turn through the rotation on five days' rest. Since being acquired from the Blue Jays on Aug. 2, Gausman has gone 1-1 with a 6.19 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB in 16 innings through his first three starts with the Cubs.

Loftin went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-7 win over the Tigers.

Making his sixth straight start, Loftin piled up a season-high-tying four RBI on Sunday. With Maikel Garcia on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, Loftin has a chance to maintain an everyday role at third base for the time being. For the campaign, the utility player is slashing .238/.332/.387 with a career-high six homers, 20 doubles, 40 RBI and 35 runs scored across 332 plate appearances.

Mlodzinski allowed three runs on five hits, no walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out four over three innings of bulk relief in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

After two innings from opener Lake Bachar, Mlodzinski entered in bulk relief and wasn't overly effective against a well-regarded Dodgers offense. The right-hander has essentially taken over as the Pirates' fifth starter since Mitch Keller (arm) went down with a season-ending injury, but he's struggled to a 12.71 ERA over his past four outings. Overall, Mlodzinski owns a 6-6 record with a 4.17 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 85:36 K:BB across 105.2 innings and 29 appearances (12 starts). The 27-year-old is tentatively lined up to pitch Saturday against the Cardinals, though it remains to be seen if he'll be deployed as a traditional starter or bulk reliever.

Ryan (glute) completed a 35-pitch bullpen session in St. Paul on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

The Twins are in the midst of a West Coast road trip, and Ryan opted to stay behind in Minnesota to join the organization's Triple-A affiliate to continue his throwing progression. After tossing 25 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, Ryan upped his count and also made use of his full arsenal. The Twins haven't revealed whether Ryan will require a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the 15-day injured list, but he'll presumably need to throw an extended live batting practice session at the very least before slotting back into the big-league rotation. Ryan has been on the shelf since Aug. 7 due to a mild left glute strain.

Snell (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits, issuing three walks and logging a hit-by-pitch over six scoreless innings against the Pirates. He struck out six.

Snell's control wasn't perfect, but he handled the Pirates offense with relative ease, firing off six scoreless frames on 94 pitches (62 strikes). In three starts since returning from an almost three-month stint on the injured list following a procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, the two-time Cy Young Award winner has posted a 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 18 innings. Snell will look to stay hot on the bump next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Tigers.

The Rays will promote Bodine from Double-A Montgomery to Triple-A Durham during the upcoming week.

The 22-year-old catcher will jump up to the highest rung of the minors after slashing .316/.397/.447 with five home runs and five steals in 179 plate appearances at Montgomery. Liam Hicks is locked in as the Rays' primary backstop at the big-league level for the foreseeable future, but Bodine could be a candidate to work in tandem with him at some point in 2027.

Cox went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Cox connected on a solo homer in the second inning to extend the Giants' lead to 3-0, though the club would ultimately relinquish the advantage. It marked his first RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 14, with the 25-year-old going 5-for-21 (.238) with two extra-base hits and two runs across seven games since rejoining the big-league club. Overall, Cox is slashing .255/.255/.489 with five extra-base hits (two homers), four RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases in 50 plate appearances this season.
