Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Pulled early
Bohm left Monday's game against the Reds with an undisclosed injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
According to Gelb, Bohm hadn't appeared to be moving well all game, and he was ultimately removed after the seventh inning. It's unclear at this time whether the injury will force him to miss any additional game action.

White Sox's Jose Abreu: Reaches base five times
Abreu went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and two walks in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.
Abreu knocked three single and came around to score twice. He's produced 11 multi-hit games this month, resulting in a .367 average with 14 runs scored through 21 contests. Abreu's season slash line is up to .313/.389/.468 with 43 extra-base hits and 68 runs scored.

Josh Bell DH | MIN
Padres' Josh Bell: Homers in second straight game
Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over Washington.
Bell accounted for both Padres runs in the contest with a two-run blast to right field in the sixth inning. Bell went hitless in his first two contests of the four-game set against his former club, but he homered in each of the final two games of the series. He appears to be emerging from a slump that saw him go 7-for-58 over his first 16 contests with San Diego.

Darick Hall 1B | PIT
Phillies' Darick Hall: Remains out of lineup
Hall isn't starting Monday against the Reds.
Hall is on the bench for a fourth consecutive game since Kyle Schwarber has served exclusively as the designated hitter since returning from a multi-game absence due to a calf injury. The rookie has slashed .302/.333/.628 with four home runs, two doubles, five runs and five RBI over 14 games since the start of August, so he's at least made it tough for the Phillies to justify keeping him out of the lineup.

Vinnie Pasquantino 1B | KC
Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Managing right shoulder discomfort
Pasquantino was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to right shoulder discomfort, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Pasquantino appeared to be in pain while swinging his bat in the bottom of the second inning Monday, and he was replaced defensively in the top of the third. The 24-year-old will be further evaluated before the Royals determine his status for the team's upcoming two-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Vinnie Pasquantino 1B | KC
Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Suffers arm injury Monday
Pasquantino was removed in the top of the third inning of Monday's game against the White Sox with an apparent right arm injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored prior to departing.
Pasquantino appeared to sustain the injury in question in the bottom of the second, when he looked to be in pain while swinging the bat and flying out to end the inning. Nick Pratto was summoned from the bench a half inning later to replace Pasquantino at first base. The 24-year-old can viewed as day-to-day until the Royals provide more specifics about his injury.

Elehuris Montero 1B | COL
Rockies' Elehuris Montero: Homers again
Montero went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Giants.
Montero took Jakob Junis yard in the seventh inning and now has three home runs across his last three starts. It's been a mixed start to Montero's big-league career, as he has a strong .206 ISO but is striking out at a 33.3 percent clip. That has resulted in a .245/.267/.451 line across 105 plate appearances.

Nick Pratto 1B | TEX
Royals' Nick Pratto: Riding pine Monday
Pratto is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
The Royals will give veteran Ryan O'Hearn a rare look in the starting nine at designated hitter, leaving no room for Pratto in Monday's lineup. Pratto started in three of the Royals' four games at Tampa Bay over the weekend, going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts to drop his season average to .170.

Nate Lowe DH | CIN
Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Matches career HR mark
Lowe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Twins.
Lowe mashed an Emilio Pagan splitter beyond the seats in right field at a distance of 424 feet and a rate of 108.2 mph . The shot was his 18th of the season, tying the career high set in 2021. No longer a low launch-angle, groundball hitter, Lowe is enjoying career highs in slugging (.473) and OPS (.819).
