Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

He opened the scoring in the top of the first inning by crushing a Hyun Jin Ryu fastball deep to left field, but it was the last lead the Guardians would have on the afternoon. Since returning from his two-game suspension, Ramirez is slashing a tepid .233/.298/.442 over 11 contests, but his two homers during that stretch have gotten him to 20 on the year -- the third straight season, and the sixth time in his career, he's reached that mark.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two walks, a two-run homer, two additional RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's win over Detroit.

In total, Bregman reached safely in five of his six at-bats, being walked twice on top of his three hits. He finished the day with three extra-base hits after failing to record one in any of his last four appearances. Bregman's been on a heater of late, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers, 10 runs scored and eight RBI while striking out just four times in 39 plate appearances (10.3 percent).

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

Moncada took JP Sears yard in the third inning for his fifth long ball of the season, driving in Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez. The third baseman has now hit safely in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's batting 8-for-28 (.286) with six RBI but striking out 31 percent of the time.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

Suarez had some timely hitting Friday, knocking a go-ahead two-run single in the fourth inning and adding insurance with an RBI double in the eighth. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he's gone 10-for-30 (.333) with eight RBI. For the season, he's at a .238/.330/.394 slash line with 18 home runs, 83 RBI, 51 runs scored, two stolen bases and 20 doubles over 128 contests.

Henderson went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Rockies.

Henderson belted a two-run blast over the right-field wall in the eighth inning that turned a one-run deficit into the winning margin for the O's. It's been a solid month for the elite prospect, and he's batting .286 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 15 runs scored since the calendar turned to August. The talented rookie is now up to 22 homers on the season.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs Friday in a 6-2 win over the Rays.

The multi-homer effort was the seventh of LeMahieu's career but his first since May of 2021. He also added a single and a walk and scored an additional run. It's the third home run this week for LaMahieu, who has assumed leadoff duties for the Yankees of late.

Walls (oblique) is on track to be activated from the injured list Sept. 1, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Walls recently turned a corner in his recovery from the left oblique strain that sent him to the injured list four weeks ago. He'll take another round of live batting practice Sunday before then embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham that is slated to run from Tuesday through Thursday. Walls could see significant action at shortstop upon his return with Wander Franco on administrative leave.

Donaldson (calf) is nearing a rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Donaldson is performing all baseball activities without issue as he nears the completion of his recovery from the severe right calf strain that has kept him on the shelf since mid-July. He could return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible in mid-September if all goes well during his minor-league rehab stint, but the 37-year-old might only be a bench bat for New York in the closing weeks of the 2023 campaign.

The Angels recalled Cabbage from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

With Mike Trout (wrist) headed back to the injured list, Cabbage will come up from the minors to take Trout's place and provide additional depth to Los Angeles' outfield. The 26-year-old has slashed .406/.443/.688 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 71 plate appearances since being optioned to Salt Lake at the end of July, though his minor-league success has yet to translate to the big leagues.

McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday against the Astros.

With southpaw Framber Valdez starting on the bump for Houston, McKinstry will begin Friday's contest on the bench. Andy Ibanez will start at the keystone and bat second.
