Chapman underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right hip labrum and has a four-month recovery timeline, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old finishes 2020 with a .232/.276/.535 slash line, 10 homers and 25 RBI in 37 games. If all goes well in his recovery, Chapman should be healthy for the start of spring training in February, though any minor setbacks could bring a delayed arrival to camp. Jake Lamb is likely to see the bulk of the time at third base for the A's since Chad Pinder (hamstring) is also sidelined.

Reynolds cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to the Royals' alternate training site.

Reynolds was designated for assignment Saturday, but he'll remain in the organization after failing to secure a spot on another 40-man roster. The 29-year-old went 0-for-11 during his four days on the major-league roster this year.

Urshela (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Urshela was sidelined with a bone spur in his right elbow, but he spent the minimum amount of time on the injured list. He participated in a simulated game Monday and will now be available to return to game action. Urshela should resume his role as the Yankees' primary third baseman going forward.

Urshela (elbow) is expected to return Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Urshela has served the required 10 days on the injured list while he recovers from a bone spur in his right elbow. He participated in a simulated game Monday and should be able to follow that up with a real game Tuesday.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

Moncada got the White Sox on the board with his RBI double in the second inning. The 25-year-old has three multi-hit performances in the last four games, bringing his average from .237 to .258 during that span.

The Yankees could activate Urshela (elbow) from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Urshela reported to the Yankees' alternate training site in Moosic, Pa. this weekend and has been getting in at-bats in simulated games as he prepares for a return to the big-league roster. The Yankees will presumably check back in on Urshela during Monday's off day, and if the team's medical staff determines that he's good to go after battling a bone spur in his right elbow, he'll slot back in as team's everyday third baseman right away. Before getting hurt, Urshela had more or less repeated his 2019 breakout, posting an .873 OPS over 120 plate appearances.

Madrigal is not in Sunday's lineup against the Tigers.

He is hitting .321 with zero home runs and zero steals in 28 at-bats this month, although he chipped in his lone extra-base hits of the season by hitting a pair of doubles Sept. 8. Danny Mendick will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Dodgers.

Bregman displayed a nice piece of two-strike hitting and delivered the go-ahead run as part of a five-run rally in the ninth inning. It was an important win for the Astros, who entered the game losers of eight straight. The base knock was Bregman's first in 14 plate appearances since returning from a hamstring injury

Moncada returned to the lineup and went 1-for-6 with a run scored in Saturday's 14-0 win over the Tigers.

Moncada was given a two-day break (the team's off-day Thursday and a rest day Friday) before returning to the lineup Saturday. Moncada has indicated feeling a lack of energy at times this season due to a bout with COVID-19, and the White Sox don't have any more scheduled days off through the end of the season.

Astudillo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday against Cleveland.

Astudillo took Zach Plesac yard in the second inning for a solo home run, his first long ball of the season. He has gotten only 11 plate appearances to this point in the campaign due to a combination of illness and being placed at the Twins' alternate site. With Alex Avila (back) on the injured list, Astudillo should have the chance to rack up some playing time as the backup catcher.
