Gray went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Gray hit his third home run of the season, tagging Tyler Alexander for a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning. It was the 29-year-old's third home run of the campaign. In his last nine games, Gray is 9-for-27 (.333) with three home runs and two doubles.

Wetherholt will return to the lineup at Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday after missing five games with general soreness, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Woo writes that Wetherholt has been dealing with a "non-baseball ailment" but will be back in action at designated hitter Wednesday before returning to the field later this week. Wetherholt is slashing .309/.423/.519 with 16 home runs, 21 stolen bases and a 67:66 K:BB over 100 games this season between Double-A Springfield and Memphis. The top prospect is not expected to be promoted to the majors this month.

Gelof went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Red Sox.

The steal was Gelof's first of the season. The second baseman has hit .300 (9-for-30) to begin September, but he's also racked up 12 strikeouts over eight games in that time. For the season, he's batting .195 with a .553 OPS, two home runs, seven RBI and 11 runs scored across 83 plate appearances.

Jackson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Pirates after getting hit on his right elbow by a pitch, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Jackson took a 95.5-mph pitch off his elbow in the eighth inning and was immediately taken out of the game in favor of a pinch runner. The severity of the outfielder's injury will come into focus once Baltimore's trainers examine him further, but it's possible he sits out a game or two at the very least as a precaution.

The Red Sox recalled Grissom (foot) from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday while he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The 24-year-old landed on Worcester's IL on Aug. 20 due to an injury initially labeled as right foot inflammation, and his move to Boston's 60-day IL will officially spell an end to his season. Grissom spent the entire season at Triple-A and produced a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 home runs and nine steals in 96 games.

Kim isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

After starting three straight games against right-handed starters, Kim will step out of the lineup Tuesday despite right-hander German Marquez taking the mound for Colorado. Miguel Rojas will get the nod at the keystone while batting ninth.

Rivas isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Rivas will receive a day to rest Tuesday after going 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored over his last five games. Jorge Polanco will cover second base in Rivas' absence while Mitch Garver serves as the DH.

The Royals reinstated India (wrist) from the 10-day injured list, and he's batting seventh as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Guardians.

India hasn't seen the field since late August due to a wrist sprain, but he's back with the Royals for the second game of the series in Cleveland. It's been a disappointing campaign for the 29-year-old with a career-worst .666 OPS through 124 games, and he batted just .195 across 24 contests in August.

Castro will start in right field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Castro will cover right field on the same day that Kyle Tucker was placed on the injured list due to a calf strain. While Tucker was out of the lineup for Monday's series opener, Seiya Suzuki drew the start in right field, and Castro played center field while Pete Crow-Armstrong occupied the designated-hitter spot. Crow-Armstrong should patrol center most days moving forward with Suzuki as the DH, which should open up right field for Castro on a near-everyday basis. Castro is batting just .164 in 24 games for the Cubs, but his playing time and fantasy value could get a temporary boost with Tucker on the IL.

Koss went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a double in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Koss did most of his damage in the sixth inning, hitting a two-run double to right field before coming around to score. The 27-year-old infielder drew the start at second base after going four consecutive games without a plate appearance, delivering his 10th multi-hit performance of the season. He's slashing .258/.299/.361 with 20 RBI, 19 runs scored, three home runs and three stolen bases across 170 plate appearances in 67 games during the 2025 campaign.
