The Angels recalled Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

He will join Jack Lopez and Michael Stefanic as utility options in the Angels infield, but it may take an injury or two for Leblanc to see steady playing time. Aside from a brief stint with the Halos in August, Leblanc had spent the entire season at Salt Lake, producing an .816 OPS over 414 plate appearances.

Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

Ortiz did a little bit of everything Sunday, scoring two of Milwaukee's three runs and belting his 20th double of the season. Ortiz is looking to rebound from a rough August in which he slashed .195/.290/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a .732 OPS with nine home runs, 45 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 418 plate appearances.

The Orioles released Segura on Sunday.

Segura signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Aug. 9 but created little momentum for a September call-up, as he slashed just .137/.250/.196 with one stolen base across 60 plate appearances in 14 games for Triple-A Norfolk. After struggling in Norfolk and producing a lowly .556 OPS over 85 games in the majors with Miami in 2023, the 34-year-old infielder's time in the big leagues may have come and gone.

Bohm (hand) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Though Bohm is on the bench for the third day in a row, he seems to be progressing in his recovery from left hand discomfort. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Bohm was spotted on the field doing some work prior to Sunday's game, and the Phillies have suggested that he could be ready to return to the lineup following Monday's off day. He'll give way to Edmundo Sosa at third base for at least one more game, however.

Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Norby will take a seat for the first time since he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 19 in advance of his Marlins debut. Jose Devers will enter the lineup and pick up a start at second base in place of the resting Norby, who has produced a 1.002 OPS with two stolen bases and three home runs through his first 12 games with Miami.

The Orioles recalled Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk, and he will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Rockies.

The 22-year-old has joined the Orioles with MLB active rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday, and placement of Ramon Urias (ankle) on the injured list could open up everyday playing time for Mayo at third base. Mayo struggled in his first taste of the majors, going 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his first seven games, but he appears poised to get plenty of chances in September while Urias is sidelined.

The Orioles placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right ankle sprain.

The 30-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's contest in Colorado and will be sidelined for at least the next week and a half. Coby Mayo, who is one of Baltimore's top prospects, was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move Sunday and should see some run at third base while Urias is sidelined.

The Blue Jays recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Buffalo. He will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Twins.

The 26-year-old received his first taste of the big leagues in late July and early August, though he was sent back to Triple-A after appearing in just three games. De Los Santos has been productive at Triple-A this season with six home runs and a .260/.375/.441 slash line in 43 games.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

DeJong started the past six games and will receive a breather after going 5-for-21 with three homers and 12 strikeouts during that span. Maikel Garcia will step in at the hot corner in the series finale at Houston.

Bregman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Bregman will stay on the bench for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a sore elbow. The 30-year-old missed a handful of games in mid-August due to the elbow issue, and he'll likely need to contend with the injury for the rest of the season. Shay Whitcomb is starting at third base Sunday, but Bregman should be back in action before long. In fact, manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that the swelling in Bregman's elbow has almost dissipated, and the 30-year-old might be available off the bench Sunday.
