Torkelson went 4-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's loss against the Cubs.

Torkelson got the Tigers on the board with a solo homer off Javier Assad in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old Torkelson is up to 23 homers on the year, with eight in his last 12 games -- he's gone 17-for-43 (.395) over that span. With his recent hot streak, Torkelson's slash line is up to .239/.319/.452 with 69 RBI and 67 runs scored across 526 plate appearances in his sophomore campaign.

Bohm went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer and two additional runs scored in Monday's victory over the Giants.

It was a big night for the 27-year-old Bohm, who broke out of a 5-for-34 slump. He extended the Phillies' lead to 4-2 with a home run off Sean Manaea in the third inning, his 13th of the year to match a career high. Overall, Bohm's slashing .285/.338/.429 with 77 RBI and 58 runs scored across 464 plate appearances this season.

Cooper (wrist) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

A wrist injury bothered Cooper over the weekend, but he is feeling good enough to slot in as San Diego's designated hitter Monday night. He will hit eighth against Miami starter Ryan Weathers.

The Athletics reinstated Noda (jaw) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Noda will rejoin the big club after he recently completed a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas, during which he went 4-for-10 with two home runs and two doubles. Before fracturing his jaw in mid-July, Noda had been one of the Athletics' more productive hitters, and he should immediately reclaim a near-everyday spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. The Athletics demoted Tyler Soderstrom to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Since his big two-homer, five-RBI effort in a 11-3 win over the Angels on Aug. 11, Singleton has fallen into a 1-for-25 rut at the plate over his subsequent eight contests. Though Jose Abreu (back) remains on the injured list and without a clear timeline for a return, Singleton's ongoing slump may have cost him his role as the Astros' primary first baseman. Singleton will hit the bench for the second time in three games while the hot-hitting Yainer Diaz picks up another start at first base at his expense.

Wade (back) will start at first base and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Phillies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade is back in action after a back issue kept him on the bench for Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta. He'll likely remain an inconsistent member of the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but a healthy Wade should continue to serve as the Giants' main table setter against righties.

Vaughn is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a homer in Sunday's contest, but manager Pedro Grifol decided it was time for a day off. Gavin Sheets will get the nod at first base Monday night.

Casas (tooth) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Casas missed a pair of games with a tooth infection, but he was examined earlier Monday and was deemed ready to return to action. He'll occupy his usual spot at first base and look to continue his big post-All-Star break run. Through 32 second-half contests, Casas is maintaining a .323 average to go with 11 home runs, 21 RBI and 20 runs.

Rivas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Rivas will hit the bench for the third straight game while the Pirates face a left-handed pitcher (Drew Rom) for the second consecutive day. Connor Joe will step in for the lefty-hitting Rivas as the Pirates' starting first baseman.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

The slugging first baseman took Dakota Hudson deep in the fourth inning, Alonso's fourth homer in the last five games and his 39th of the year. He's been flexing his muscles in August, slashing .254/.376/.690 through 20 games with nine long balls and 19 RBI as he closes in on his third career 40-homer campaign. Alonso also sits six RBI shy of his third season in triple digits.
