Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.

Jordan Lawlar 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Soft stick wins it
Lawlar went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 win over San Francisco.
Lawlar entered in the sixth inning and stayed in the game as the designated hitter. His 44.7-mph, check-swing roller to first base with the bases loaded was enough to plate the winning run and walk off the Giants. The 23-year-old prospect has produced following an 0-for-30 run in the majors this season. Lawlar has hit safely in eight of his last 10 appearances (six starts), going 9-for-26 (.346) with six doubles, five RBI, two steals and five runs scored.

The Angels selected Kieboom's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake, and he's starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Brewers.
The 28-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Angels in February and will receive a look in the majors with less than two weeks left in the regular season.

Jordan Westburg 3B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Activated from 10-day IL
The Orioles activated Westburg (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Westburg wound up missing nearly a month of action with a right ankle sprain but is ready to roll after playing three rehab contests with Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old will retake his third-base job, with Jeremiah Jackson likely reverting to a utility role.

Nacho Alvarez Jr. 3B | ATL
Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Sitting out matinee
Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Nationals.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Lifts 18th homer
Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.
Muncy has been scuffling since returning from an oblique injury, going just 2-for-16 with three walks and five strikeouts over five games since he was activated Sept. 8. The infielder has managed to record 18 homers over 94 contests in an injury-riddled campaign. He's added a .251/.386/.481 slash line, 65 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases through 368 plate appearances, serving as the Dodgers' primary third baseman versus right-handed pitchers when he's healthy.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Goes yard Monday
Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.
This was Jung's first homer over 13 games in September, and he's batting just .184 (9-for-49) this month. The third baseman's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning. Jung had six multi-hit efforts over his last eight contests in August, so the slowdown in September is discouraging. He's at a .251/.294/.394 slash line with 14 homers, 57 RBI, 48 runs scored and four stolen bases over 120 games this season.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Travels with team to LA
Bohm (shoulder) traveled with the team to Los Angeles with the hope of returning after a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Bohm landed on the 10-day injured list Sept. 8 due to a cyst in his left shoulder, but it appears he's still on track for a minimum stay. If all goes according to plan during the week, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Bohm back in the lineup for Friday's matchup in Arizona.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back at full strength
The Marlins reinstated Pauley (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Pauley had been on the shelf since Aug. 18 due to a right oblique strain, but he's been deemed ready to rejoin the big club after he went 3-for-10 with a home run and a double over a three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville. He's made 48 starts at third base so far this season, but with the Marlins also bringing back Connor Norby (quadriceps) from the IL on Monday, Pauley may have to settle for limited at-bats over the final two weeks of the campaign.
