Okamoto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during Sunday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.

George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Okamoto smacked three consecutive solo homers off Trevor Rogers in the fifth inning, resulting in a 4-1 lead for the Blue Jays. Okamoto has four home runs over his last six games and is up to 32 homers on the year. He is three home runs shy from tying the 10th-most home runs in a season by a major-league rookie.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 14-4 loss to the Rays.

Paredes got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has been stellar in September, recording a hit in 11 of 12 games this month with seven extra-base hits, 12 RBI and eight runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .260/.359/.435 with 21 homers, 85 RBI and 62 runs scored across 607 plate appearances.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Ramirez is batting .111 (5-for-45) through his first 11 games of September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the previous five contests. Angel Genao will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale at Minnesota.

Wilson went 5-for-6 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

The Mariners racked up 23 hits, and Wilson did more than his fair share of damage from the bottom of the order. He had gone just 8-for-53 (.151) over his previous 21 games since the start of August before breaking out Saturday. Wilson has been seeing a short-side platoon role at third base lately, sharing the position with switch-hitter Brock Rodden. On the year, Wilson is batting .217 with a .636 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, five doubles and six stolen bases over 160 plate appearances between the Mariners and the Orioles.

Jung went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Before coming off the injured list Saturday, Jung last played July 21 versus the White Sox before he was shelved by a calf strain. The injury put a damper on what was shaping up be a strong season for the third baseman. Through 93 contests, Jung is batting .295 with an .802 OPS, nine home runs, 36 RBI, 47 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and one stolen base.

Moncada (knee) isn't expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports.

Moncada underwent right knee surgery in early June. He's been rehabbing at his home in Florida but isn't close to a return to game action. In the likely event that Moncada's campaign is indeed over, he'll finish with a .189/.308/.297 slash line, three homers, nine runs, 10 RBI and one stolen base over 41 games.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy had started in seven of the Athletics' previous eight games -- six at designated hitter, one at third base -- and slashed .385/.407/.615 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs over that stretch, but he could see fewer opportunities over the final two weeks of the season. The Athletics reinstated Shea Langeliers (knee) from the injured list Saturday, and he's expected to operate as the team's primary DH the rest of the way, closing off Muncy's primary path to playing time.

White isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

White has notched a hit in back-to-back games, but the A's will keep him on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Jeff McNeil will shift to first base to cover for White, opening up the keystone for Donovan Walton.

The Rangers reinstated Jung (calf) from the injured list Saturday.

Jung has been sidelined for almost all of the second half due to a left calf strain, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday and has since gone 3-for-15 with a homer in four games. Now fully healthy, he figures to reclaim his job as Texas' everyday third baseman. Logan O'Hoppe was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Garcia (hamstring) went 1-for-5 with an RBI in a rehab game with Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

After playing five innings at third base Thursday, Garcia served as the designated hitter Friday in his second rehab game while recovering from a left hamstring strain. It's been a disappointing 2026 campaign for the 26-year-old, who has dealt with multiple injuries and is slashing .269/.324/.385 with three homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs and five stolen bases in 73 contests. How much time he'll need on his rehab assignment hasn't been specified, but if no setbacks emerge with the hamstring, Garcia could be back with the Royals in the next few days.
