  • Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Goes deep in win

    Ramos went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and a walk in Sunday's win over Oakland.

    Ramos' solo shot in the sixth inning proved to be the game-deciding run. It was his second career home run and both have come in his last six appearances. The rookie third baseman is slashing .209/.250/.343 with five extra-base hits through 22 games.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent

    Moncada (adductor) joined the White Sox on Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    The 29-year-old has been sidelined since April due to an adductor strain, but he's apparently ready to rejoin the active roster after a 12-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada played in just 11 games prior to the injury, but he'll look to finish the season strong as he likely heads into free agency this offseason, since the White Sox are a strong bet to decline his $25 million club option for 2025.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: On bench versus southpaw

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    The Mariners entered Sunday having faced nine straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Rojas posted a .397 OPS while starting all of those games. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner against Texas lefty Andrew Heaney.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung started the first 13 games of September and will receive Sunday off after he began the month with three homers and an .881 OPS. Ezequiel Duran will shift to the hot corner while Carson Kelly receives a start at designated hitter.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Bregman will receive a day off after a run of seven straight starts, during which he went 6-for-30 with two homers, six RBI and five runs. Mauricio Dubon will receive a look at the hot corner while batting ninth.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Losing work to Ramos

    Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Vargas will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in five contests. Bryan Ramos appears to have supplanted Vargas as Chicago's preferred option at third base, though both players could see their opportunities dry up if Yoan Moncada (adductor) is able to return from the injured list later in the week.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Sits for third time in four games

    Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds,

    On the bench for the third time in four games against a right-hander, Miranda looks as though he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role after the Twins recently welcomed Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa back from the injured list. Miranda should still have a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed pitching.

  • Jace Jung DH | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Jung has a .619 OPS through his first 24 big-league games and is hitting .227 over 22 at-bats in September, and he will head to the bench Sunday as southpaw Cade Povich takes the mound for Baltimore. Andy Ibanez will receive a start at third base and bat leadoff in the series finale.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Orioles' Nick Maton: Loses roster spot

    The Orioles designated Maton for assignment Sunday.

    He'll give up his spot on the roster to outfielder/designated hitter Heston Kjerstad (concussion), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 2, Maton saw action in five games for the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 35-homer mark

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.

    Ramirez ended an 11-game homerless drought with his eighth-inning solo shot, which got him to the 35-homer mark for the third time in his career. The third baseman has gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's made the most of his trips on base with five stolen bases in that span. Ramirez has a .270/.329/.514 slash line with 107 RBI, 106 runs scored, 39 steals, 33 doubles and one triple across 146 contests this season.
