Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Placed on paternity list
The Guardians placed Schneemann on the paternity list Monday.
Schneemann will likely miss all three games of his team's three-game set against the Rays that begins Monday as he welcomes a new addition to the family. Will Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Schneemann's spot on the active roster.

Michael Massey 2B | KC
Royals' Michael Massey: Makes return from IL
The Royals reinstated Massey (wrist/ankle/back) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Massey will make his return to the Royals for the first time since early June, after he was initially deactivated due to a left ankle sprain before being pulled off two separate rehab assignments on account of a fractured right wrist and a tight back. He began a third rehab assignment Aug. 9 and emerged from his two-week stint in the minors unscathed while slashing .245/.310/.415 with a pair of home runs in 12 games for Triple-A Omaha. With Kansas City optioning John Rave to Triple-A in a corresponding move, the left-handed-hitting Massey could be in line for a regular spot in the lineup versus righties, though he may eventually move to the bench on a more frequent basis once the Royals reinstate Jac Caglianone (hamstring) from the IL.

Royals' Michael Massey: Enjoys productive weekend in minors
Massey (wrist/ankle/back) has slashed .245/.310/.415 with two home runs, three doubles and a 4:14 BB:K in 12 games since beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 9.
Initially placed on the 10-day injured list June 10 due to a left ankle sprain, Massey then sustained a hairline fracture to his right wrist while rehabbing with Omaha in late June. He started up a new rehab assignment after the All-Star break, only to be shut down again when he developed back tightness. Now in the midst of his third rehab assignment, Massey is looking healthy and turned in a productive weekend with Omaha, going 4-for-14 with a pair of home runs and a double from Friday through Sunday. He's been rotating between second base and left field during his time in the minors and could contend for playing time at either position with the Royals once he's activated from the IL.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Opens, closes scoring with homers
Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.
Chisholm opened the scoring in the second inning with a blast off Dustin May, and he provided the last runs of the game in the eighth, when he took Walker Buehler deep. Power has been on the rise for Chisholm lately, as he has now homered five times over his last 12 games, though he's batting a modest .256 (10-for-39) in that span. On the year, the infielder is at a .239/.333/.484 slash line through 98 contests. He's matched his career-high total in homers (24) in 49 fewer games than last year while adding 62 RBI, 59 runs scored and 22 stolen bases in 2025.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Could be done for season
Semien said after Sunday's 5-0 win over the Guardians that he has been diagnosed with a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, which will likely require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Texas placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday with what the team listed as a left foot contusion, but follow-up tests on the foot evidently revealed that he was dealing with structural damage. With five weeks left in the regular season, the 34-year-old now appears at risk of being shut down for 2025, unless the Rangers are able to clinch a playoff spot and make a deep run in October. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at second base Sunday, and he could handle the bulk of the work at that position while Semien is on the shelf.

Cole Young SS | SEA
Mariners' Cole Young: Idle for series finale
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The left-handed-hitting Young had started in each of Seattle's last three games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while the Athletics send southpaw Jacob Lopez to the hill. Jorge Polanco will replace Young at second base and will bat seventh.

Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Athletics' Luis Urias: Moves into utility role
Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Urias will take a seat for the third time in four games and appears to have moved into a utility infield role in the wake of Jacob Wilson's recent return from the injured list. With Wilson taking back control of an everyday role at shortstop, the Athletics seem to be prioritizing Darell Hernaiz and Brett Harris over Urias at second and third base, respectively.

Christian Koss SS | SF
Giants' Christian Koss: Returning to bench role
Koss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
After starting nine consecutive games, Koss now finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. He'll likely be limited to a utility role with third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) getting reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Not in Sunday's lineup
Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Sosa started the previous 20 games but will receive Sunday off after going 2-for-12 with two RBI and five strikeouts in the past three contests. Miguel Vargas will shift to first base, opening up the hot corner for Curtis Mead.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Hitting bench Sunday
Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Torres will receive a breather after starting five straight games and going 5-for-17 (.294) with one double, six walks, four runs and two RBI. Javier Baez will cover second base in Torres' stead.
