Paredes went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.

Paredes collected two of the team's 18 hits in the easy victory. The infielder has been struggling overall with his new team, batting just .184 with a .608 OPS across 29 games in Chicago, though he is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12. Paredes will continue to see regular playing time as he looks to build up further momentum with the Cubs.

Espinal (shin) entered as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Brewers.

Espinal walked off Milwaukee in the bottom of the 11th inning, when he rapped a pinch-hit single off the pitcher's leg to plate Rece Hinds with the winning run. He hasn't started a game since injuring the shin Friday, but Espinal has appeared as a pinch hitter in the subsequent two games.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Ramirez's homer was the 250th of his career. He ranks second only to Jim Thome (337) in Cleveland franchise history. Ramirez hit .269 in August but made an impact with six homers and 14 stolen bases over 29 contests for the month and will be chasing his first 40-homer season in September. Overall, the third baseman has a .275/.331/.531 slash line with 34 homers, 105 RBI, 100 runs scored. 34 stolen bases, 31 doubles and one triple through 134 contests this season. Through Sunday's action, only Ramirez and Aaron Judge have 100 each of RBI and runs scored in 2024.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

Suarez started Arizona's massive eight-run second inning with an RBI single, and he added a solo shot in the third to pad the lead to 9-0. The third baseman has been locked in for power with four homers and 16 RBI over his last nine games, going 12-for-35 (.343) in that span. Overall, he's produced a .238/.306/.438 slash line, 22 homers, 85 RBI, 68 runs scored and two stolen bases over 133 contests this season.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Rojas has four multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three extra-base hits and three steals in that span. The infielder hasn't been a big threat on the basepaths this year, going 9-for-13 on stolen-base attempts. Rojas has added a .234/.315/.351 slash line, seven home runs, 26 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 410 plate appearances, mainly serving as a strong-side platoon option at third base.

Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and three runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Chisholm stole multiple bases for the third time this season and is now up to 30 thefts on the year, a career best. Chisholm has excelled since returning from an elbow injury Aug. 23, batting .344 with five extra-base hits, seven runs scored and three stolen bases in 34 plate appearances.

Jung went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's extra-inning win over Oakland.

Jung was 1-for-4 with a single and two punchouts before he ripped a walk-off shot in the 10th inning. He snapped a 10-game homerless drought with his first long ball since Aug. 18. Through 32 games this season, Jung is slashing .260/.275/.425 with 10 extra-base hits and 12 RBI over 131 plate appearances.

Moncada (adductor) is expected to play in at least five more rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Moncada has been on the injured list since April while recovering from an adductor strain and a related setback that caused him to be pulled off a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. Though he's reported no setbacks since kicking off a second rehab assignment this past Tuesday, Moncada has looked rusty in his first game action in a month and a half, going 2-for-10 with a double and two strikeouts. Based on Romero's report, the White Sox are leaning toward keeping Moncada at Charlotte throughout the week, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the 60-day injured list until the second week of September. Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa will likely continue to share reps at third base until Moncada is back with the big club.

The Rangers recalled Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Ornelas' addition strengthens Texas' depth in the infield, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular at-bats so long as Corey Seager, Josh Jung, Marcus Semien and Josh Smith are able to maintain health down the stretch. Prior to his promotion, Ornelas had hit .252 with three home runs and nine stolen bases over 366 plate appearances with Round Rock this season.

The Mets recalled Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's 2-0 win over the White Sox. He appeared off the bench as a pinch runner and came around to score a run.

Reyes has seen action at all four infield spots as well as in right field between his time in the minors and his brief run in the big leagues with the Red Sox this season, so he'll provide the Mets with some versatility off the bench down the stretch. The 30-year-old utility man is unlikely to receive regular at-bats, however.
