  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Absence continuing Tuesday

    Baldwin (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Baldwin hasn't seen the field since Aug. 27 due to a right hand injury, and he's absent from the starting nine once again Tuesday. It's unclear when the 24-year-old will return to the lineup, but the lack of IL move indicates he should still be considered day-to-day.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Tallies three hits Monday

    Torres went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Monday's 8-4 win against Texas.

    Torres kicked off the scoring in the contest with a two-run double in the third inning. He had two additional hits for his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 26. Torres has been hitting well for the past few weeks, slashing .327/.393/.490 with two homers, nine RBI and nine runs over his past 12 games.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Out of Pittsburgh lineup

    Kiner-Falefa is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

    Alika Williams will start at shortstop and bat ninth, while Nick Gonzales will be elevated to the leadoff spot. Kiner-Falefa is slashing only .223/.263/.321 since joining the Pirates, but this is his first day off since he arrived in Pittsburgh.

  • Nick Sogard SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Getting rest Monday

    Sogard isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Sogard has gone 2-for-16 with seven strikeouts over his last five contests, and the Red Sox will now give him a chance to clear his head Monday. Enmanuel Valdez will pick up a start at the keystone as a result while batting eighth.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Could return this week

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Marte (ankle) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's upcoming road trip, which begins Tuesday in San Francisco and ends Sunday in Houston, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Marte has been ramping up workouts in recent days and appears to be making significant progress. The second baseman has been sidelined since Aug. 19 due to an ankle sprain but looks to be on track for activation either mid-week or during the weekend.

  • Gavin Lux SS | CIN

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Sitting versus southpaw

    Lux is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    It's southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez toeing the rubber for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed hitting Lux will begin this one on the bench. Chris Taylor will start at second base and bat ninth for the Dodgers.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out again Monday

    Baldwin (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.

    Baldwin hasn't played in nearly a week while battling a right hand injury. The hope is that he'll be ready to go Tuesday, but it's not a given he's back in the lineup. Jacob Amaya and Nicky Lopez will form the White Sox's double-play combination Monday.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Orioles' Nick Maton: Added to roster

    The Orioles selected Maton's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Maton will provide some additional infield depth with Ramon Urias (ankle) landing on the 10-day injured list. David Banuelos was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Productive in easy win

    Hoerner went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.

    Hoerner is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, with multi-hit performances in his last two contests. The shortstop has three extra-base knocks during the stretch, all of them doubles, but he continues to derive much of his fantasy value from his ability on the bases. Hoerner has four stolen bases over the last eight games and a team-high 27 for the season.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Logs three hits in win

    India went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win over Milwaukee.

    India was back in the lineup at leadoff after getting a day of rest Saturday. He opened September in style with three hits after batting just .194 during the month of August.
