Guerrero was removed from Sunday's game against the Rangers due to lower-back tightness, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

The veteran slugger went 1-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the bottom of the fourth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but any absence for Guerrero would be significant for Toronto with just one week left in the regular season.

Bregman was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds after being struck in the face by a foul ball while in the on-deck circle, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

A check swing by Michael Busch resulted in an unusual trajectory for the foul ball, and Bregman had minimal time to protect himself. The veteran third baseman immediately headed to the clubhouse and was replaced by a pinch hitter. According to Montemurro, Bregman had a laceration, a bloody nose and a swollen cheek. He was sent to the hospital to be evaluated further.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Chisholm (thumb) could be reinstated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The second baseman landed on the shelf after sustaining a thumb sprain Sept. 8 versus Colorado, and it appears he'll be able to rejoin the Yankees after missing a little more than the 10-day minimum. Chisholm had a hot start to September prior to the injury, going 6-for-18 with a homer, two walks and three runs through five games.

Karros was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to back spasms.

Karros was penciled in at third base but will instead remain on the bench due to the back issue. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery. Connor Norby will shift to the hot corner while TJ Rumfield enters the lineup at first base.

The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander is scheduled to pitch behind opener Jack Dreyer against the Giants on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Sheehan made two starts for Los Angeles during the first half of September but was an unfortunate roster casualty despite allowing just one run with a 15:2 K:BB over 11.2 innings. The right-hander will now get another look in the majors, this time as a bulk reliever.

The Dodgers placed Skubal on the bereavement list Sunday.

The left-hander will step away from the team for a few days in order to handle a personal matter. Skubal pitched Saturday against the Giants, surrendering four runs over five innings but getting the win, and he should be back for his next turn through the rotation.

Edwards (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Edwards departed Saturday's game due to discomfort in his left thumb, which was initially checked out after he hit a foul ball. The 27-year-old returned from the injured list last weekend after missing two weeks due to a sprain in the same thumb, so he may have aggravated the injury. Javier Sanoja will shift to second base while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner.

Jones (foot) is starting in center field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The 25-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to some soreness in his left foot, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine after missing just one start. Jones has gone 1-for-19 across his past four games but overall has been productive in September with a .788 OPS in 57 at-bats this month.

Montero is scheduled to pitch Monday against the Nationals, piggybacking off starter River Ryan, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has lasted exactly four frames in each of his past three starts, surrendering 10 runs on 16 hits with a 10:5 K:BB. Montero will now be bumped from the rotation, but he could still have a sizable workload Monday since Ryan is likely to have a limited workload in his Tigers debut.

The Rangers recalled Santos from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander had two brief stints with Texas earlier this season and allowed two earned runs in two innings during his lone appearance. Santos is filling the roster spot vacated by Cal Quantrill (lat), who was placed on the injured list.
