Brujan went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Getting a start in center field and batting eighth, Brujan recorded his first multi-hit performance since May 17. The 26-year-old utility player could find himself in a much more prominent role if Jazz Chisholm gets moved at the trade deadline, but Brujan doesn't offer much fantasy appeal given his .228/.305/.328 slash line over 201 plate appearances and a poor 4-for-7 showing on the basepaths.

Atlanta placed Albies on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured left wrist.

Albies suffered the unfortunate injury during Sunday's game versus the Cardinals while attempting to apply a tag on a stolen-base attempt. The expectation is that he will miss about eight weeks of action, which would put Albies on the shelf until mid-September. Rookie Nacho Alvarez will get a chance to cover second base in Albies' absence, with Whit Merrifield and Zack Short also around to provide depth.

Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

After seeing his four-game hitting streak come to an end while also committing a costly error in the field in Sunday's 6-4 loss, Torres will head to the bench as the Yankees wrap up their series with the Rays. Oswaldo Cabrera will check in for Torres at the keystone.

Polanco went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Astros.

Polanco got going with a 394-foot solo blast to right center off Ronel Blanco in the fourth inning, extending the Mariners' lead to 3-1. He later singled in the sixth and came around to score on a three-run homer by Luke Raley. Polanco's home run was his first since May 3 and his sixth on the year. He has three multi-hit games since July 9 after having after having just two such games entering the month. It's been a struggle overall for the 30-year-old, as he's slashing .205/.291/.304 with 19 RBI, 20 runs and a 24:79 BB:K in 251 plate appearances.

Grissom (hamstring) started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Grissom played six innings in the field before being removed. He began his rehab assignment Saturday, serving as the designated hitter and going hitless in two at-bats with two walks and a stolen base. The Red Sox believe Grissom could need close to the maximum 20 days for his rehab assignment, pushing his potential return from the 10-day injured list into the second week of August.

Foscue started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-2 win over Baltimore.

Foscue made his second straight start since being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday and has gone 1-for-7 with a double and a run scored between those two contests. Both starts have come against right-handed pitching, and Foscue appears to have overtaken the lefty-hitting Travis Jankowski as the preferred option at DH.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Giants.

Rodgers accounted for all of Colorado's offense with his seventh home run of the season. Despite playing in Coors Field for nine of his 16 games in July, he has hit just .197 with two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored for the month.

Atlanta announced that Albies is expected to miss approximately eight weeks after he underwent X-rays following Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals that revealed a left wrist fracture.

Albies suffered the injury while attempting to apply a tag on a stolen-base attempt in the ninth inning of Sunday's game. He'll now be forced to miss approximately two months of action, making him a cut candidate in most redraft leagues and leaving a major hole in the middle infield for Atlanta. The team is expected to call up Nacho Alvarez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, and the latter will replace Albies on the major-league roster -- and potentially as the club's everyday second baseman -- once Albies is officially placed on the injured list.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

Bogaerts has been hot at the plate since his return from a fractured shoulder, with multiple hits in four of five games since being activated. Bogaerts is now 8-for-21 since his return, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit since May. The stolen base was his fifth of the season, and he could present value in the second half of the season if he keeps up this type of production.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after Sunday's loss to the Cardinals that Albies will go on the injured list due to a left wrist injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The specifics of the issue are unclear as Albies continues to be evaluated, but he suffered the injury while applying a tag on a stolen base during the ninth inning Sunday. The 27-year-old will be out for at least the rest of July but could face a longer absence, depending on the diagnosis.
