  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Snaps mini-skid

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Ramirez's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, the second-longest slump of the season for the third baseman. The steal was his 36th of the season.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Homers, swipes bag Monday

    Durbin went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 7-0 win against the Cubs on Monday.

    Durbin gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with a solo homer in the fifth inning. He added a run-scoring fielder's choice in the eighth, then stole second base. It was the first time this season Durbin has swiped a bag and homered in the same contest. The 25-year-old is slashing .255/.334/.377 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 46 runs and 11 thefts on the campaign.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Belts 12th homer in win

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Texas.

    Garcia has put together a five-game hitting streak, and he now has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 outings. The 25-year-old speedster is enjoying a career season in 2025 -- Garcia is slashing .302/.363/.473 with 12 homers, 56 RBI, 59 runs scored and 22 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances. He's also three RBI away from establishing a career-high mark.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Dealing with ankle discomfort

    Westburg left Monday's game against Boston due to right ankle discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Westburg is likely being taken for further testing after being forced from Monday's clash. Luis Vazquez entered the game in Westburg's place at third base Monday and could be in line for additional opportunities going forward if the 26-year-old is forced to miss more time, though Coby Mayo and Jeremiah Jackson would also factor into the mix for at-bats. The team believes Westburg's injury to be mild, per Kostka.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Progressing well in recovery

    Chapman (hand) will take grounders at third base Monday and hit on the field Wednesday in San Diego, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Chapman has been sidelined since Wednesday with right hand inflammation, but he's now quickly set to begin building back up. The third baseman is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and it's possible he'll be able to do so if his fielding and hitting work goes well in the coming days.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Exits early Monday

    Westburg left Monday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Westburg suffered the injury while scrambling back to first base after making a hard turn towards second, and after being checked out by the team trainer, it was determined that he couldn't continue. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more news on the severity of the injury.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Sitting Monday

    Rengifo is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Monday.

    Rengifo will be absent from the Halos' lineup for the third time in four games despite going 12-for-39 (.308) with two steals, two triples, 10 runs, two homers and six RBI since the beginning of August. Christian Moore will start at second base for Monday's series opener and bat seventh.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Out of lineup again Monday

    Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Royals.

    It's the second straight day Jung has been out of the lineup, though he did appear as a pinch hitter in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. Jung is in a 5-for-35 drought at the dish and will once again yield the hot corner to Cody Freeman.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Runs bases, still feels sore

    Riley ran the bases Sunday but still felt some abdominal discomfort, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    He will run again Tuesday, but a timeline for Riley's return to the Atlanta roster remains unclear. Riley has been sidelined for most of this month with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Nacho Alvarez will continue filling in at third base for Atlanta until Riley is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Cleared for rehab games

    Norby (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Norby needed surgery in mid-July to address a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, but he's now ready to test out the surgically repaired wrist in a game setting. If all goes well during his rehab assignment, he should rejoin the Marlins' 26-man active roster before the end of August.
