  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Headed for IL

    Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Chisholm suffered a UCL injury in his left elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Boone noted that the team is still trying to determine the severity of Chisholm's injury, but he will almost certainly need to spend time on the injured list and may require surgery. The 26-year-old has slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI in 61 plate appearances since joining the Yankees while primarily playing third base. Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see regular reps at the hot corner while Chisholm is out.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out Tuesday

    Chisholm (elbow) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Chisholm had to make an early exit from Monday's game after injuring his elbow sliding into home plate. Initial X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit out Tuesday's contest in order to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Absent from lineup again

    Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: Taking seat Tuesday

    Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Toro hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 23, going 6-for-45 (.133) during that stretch. He'll yield to Darell Hernaiz at third base for the second time in three games.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Officially called up

    The Rays recalled Caminero from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    The Rays' top prospect will make his 2024 MLB debut, taking Curtis Mead's spot on the active roster. Caminero missed time with a strained quad but has slashed .304/.325/.532 with five homers and an 18.1 percent K rate since coming off the minor-league IL on July 19. The right-hander should settle into a near-everyday role at third base, but he could mix in at second or shortstop if needed.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes bag, scores three runs

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Cubs.

    Ramirez is scorching in August, batting .340 with seven extra-base hits and six steals over 12 games. The third baseman scored multiple times Monday for the first time since Aug. 5. He's up to a .282/.333/.544 slash line with 31 home runs, 26 steals, 97 RBI and 89 runs scored over 116 contests.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Imaging comes back negative

    X-rays on Chisholm's left elbow returned negative Monday night, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The team initially reported that Chisholm would be sent for imaging Tuesday, and while he's still scheduled to undergo an MRI in the morning, this appears to be good news for fantasy managers. It remains unclear at this time whether the third baseman will be cleared to start Tuesday's game.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Goes yard in win

    Lewis went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Royals.

    The Twins slugger manned the hot corner and capped a six-run second inning with his 389-foot, two-run blast off Brady Singer. Lewis later scored his 27th run of the season in the seventh inning via a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly. When playing, the 25-year-old has been a fantasy star, as he now boasts a .279/.356/.664 slash line with 15 homers and 34 RBI across 160 plate appearances in 40 games.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Nursing elbow injury

    Chisholm will undergo imaging Tuesday after suffering a left elbow injury during Monday's game against the White Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Chisholm picked up the injury in the fifth inning on a slide at the plate, and he was lifted right before his turn to bat in the seventh. Oswaldo Cabrera or DJ LeMahieu could start at third base Tuesday if Chisholm can't go.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Set to join big-league club

    The Rays plan to recall Caminero from Triple-A Durham ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Caminero missed a good chunk of the season at Triple-A while dealing with a quadricep injury, but he was activated from the 7-day injured list July 19 and is now on his way to join the big-league club. Prior to Monday's promotion, he was batting .276 with 13 home runs, 34 RBI, one stolen base and 33 runs scored in 53 games for Durham. Caminero has been featured primarily at third base this season (43 games) but also has experience at second base (eight games). The 21-year-old also logged 29 games at shortstop a season ago.
