  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Exits after HBP

    Schmitt exited Monday's game against the Rockies after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Schmitt appeared to take a 95 mph sinker from Chase Dollander off the right wrist or forearm. He took his base but was removed in favor of Christian Koss following a Patrick Bailey strikeout. Prior to leaving, Schmitt went 0-for-1 at the plate with the hit-by-pitch. Consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Back from IL

    The Dodgers activated Kim (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Back to full health after he had been on the shelf since July 28 due to shoulder bursitis, Kim will join the Dodgers following a nine-appearance rehab assignment in which he slashed .324/.368./412 with a 3:10 BB:K and a stolen base. During his time in the majors this season, Kim has seen playing time at second base, shortstop and center field, but he saw three starts in left field during his rehab assignment and could emerge as an option at the position with the Dodgers in September. Michael Conforto has served as Los Angeles' primary left fielder this season, but he's mustered a lowly .628 OPS through 414 plate appearances.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Quick ejection Monday

    Edwards was ejected from Monday's game versus the Nationals in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Edwards' plate appearance to lead off the contest ended on a groundout to the catcher, and he evidently said some choice words to home plate umpire Brennan Miller to warrant a quick ejection from the game. Javier Sanoja took Edwards' spot at second base in the bottom of the first inning.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Goes through full workout

    Donovan (groin) went through a full workout Monday and will do so again Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    If he's able to get through Tuesday's workout without any issues, Donovan could then be sent out on a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since mid-August with a left groin strain but could be activated from the 10-day injured list within the next week or so if all goes well.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Taking seat Monday

    Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Edouard Julien will step in at first base in place of Clemens, who had started in each of the Twins' last four games, facing off against two right-handers and two lefties. Though Clemens finished August with a lowly .536 OPS, Julien didn't fare much better on the month (.545 OPS), and Clemens' longer track record of success in the majors this season could be enough to make him the preferred option at first base during the final month of the campaign.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Gets call from Triple-A

    The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    Rivas was with the Mariners to begin the 2025 season but was dispatched to Triple-A on May 31 after he slashed .283/.411/.300 with no home runs and four stolen bases across 73 plate appearances. He'll provide depth in the infield for Seattle down the stretch but is unlikely to see frequent starts.

  • Scott Kingery 2B | LAA

    Angels' Scott Kingery: Back on big-league roster

    The Angels selected Kingery's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Kingery was booted off the 40-man roster last month but has found his way back with the Angels and will give the club a utility option down the stretch. The 31-year-old has gone 4-for-25 at the dish during his brief time with the Angels this season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Moore has mostly languished during his time in the majors to this point, slashing .195/.287/.336 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate. While Moore will have a good chance to open up next season as the Angels' primary second baseman, he will head back to the minors for now, and Luis Rengifo is expected to hold down the keystone during the final month of the campaign.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Hits IL with wrist sprain

    The Royals placed India on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left wrist sprain.

    India had been held out of the lineup in both of the Royals' previous two games, but the nature of his absence wasn't known until the team revealed Monday that he was dealing with an injury. The severity of the wrist sprain isn't known, making it difficult to speculate how quickly India might be able to return from the IL. While India is on the shelf, Michael Massey and Adam Frazier should be in line to see the bulk of the starts at second base.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Back with big club

    The Athletics recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Schuemann was sent down to the minors on Aug. 22 after slashing only .200/.303/.288 in 188 plate appearances, but he's back in the big leagues with the Athletics' active roster expanding to 28 men Monday. The 28-year-old will fill a utility role in September.
