Rivas (finger) will miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rivas is eligible to return for the final few games of the season, but the tendon injury in his right middle finger will instead end his campaign. The 25-year-old appeared in 18 games during his first taste of big-league action and hit .318/.388/.409 with one homer, three RBI and seven runs. Assuming he's healthy in time for spring training, Rivas should have a chance to earn a spot on Chicago's Opening Day roster in 2022.

Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies in right field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Cody Bellinger was initially slated to start the contest, but he'll instead move to the injured list with a left rib fracture. Raley will take his spot on the 28-man roster and is set to enter Tuesday's lineup in right field, pushing Mookie Betts to center field. Raley went 10-for-59 with a double, homer and two RBI during his previous stints in the majors this season.

Rivas was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an injury to a tendon in his right middle finger, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Rivas was penciled in to start in the outfield Tuesday versus the Twins, but he'll instead move to the injured list. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return before the end of the season, but it would only be for the last few games of the campaign.

Mountcastle is not starting Tuesday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

With no DH at its disposal, Mountcastle started at first base in favor of Trey Mancini on Monday, and now the two will swap for the second game of the three-game set. Mountcastle should be a top option off the bench, however.

Lowe is not starting Tuesday against the Yankees.

Lowe has enjoyed a solid month of September in which he's gone 16-for-60 (five XBH) with 13 walks, 11 runs scored and seven RBI. He'll get his first day off since Aug. 28 as Andy Ibanez shifts to first base Tuesday.

O'Hearn remains on the bench Tuesday against Cleveland.

O'Hearn has filled a regular role at times this season, but he doesn't appear to have one now, as he's started just one of the team's last six games. The Royals appear to be going with eight everyday starters while rotating players through their ninth lineup spot, with O'Hearn seemingly slipping behind Kyle Isbel and Hanser Alberto for that role. O'Hearn owns a .624 OPS on the season, the third straight season he's been at or below .650 in that category, so he's not making a strong case for everyday at-bats.

Abreu (soreness) will bat third and play first base Tuesday against the Tigers.

Abreu sat Monday with what manager Tony La Russa called "sore spots all over." The issue didn't seem to be a major one, so it's no surprise to see him back in action one day later. The White Sox can afford to be generous with such maintenance days down the stretch, as they've all but clinched their division.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

The star first baseman has been mashing of late and extended his hitting streak to 10 games with another multi-hit performance -- his sixth during that stretch. Freeman is hitting .395 with a 1.073 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, three doubles, a triple and eight runs scored during his ongoing streak.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Monday's 6-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Diaz turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 advantage on one swing after he took Robbie Ray deep to left field in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old has found much better success against lefties than righties this season, slashing .291/.372/.456 with six homers, 23 RBI and 23 runs scored in 207 plate appearances against southpaws. Overall, Diaz is hitting .257/.356/.389 with 33 extra-base hits, 58 RBI, 59 runs scored and 66:81 BB:K over 511 plate appearances.

Calhoun did not play in Monday's 11-4 loss to Atlanta.

Calhoun was activated from the injured list last Friday and served as the designated hitter in all three games over the weekend in Houston, but he was held out of the starting lineup once Arizona was back in an National League city. Calhoun's usual position, right field, was occupied by Henry Ramos. The Diamondbacks are evaluating or giving opportunities to several players younger than Calhoun. It doesn't mean he won't play again this season, but the veteran may no longer be a regular presence on the diamond.
