The Rays reinstated Walls (personal) from the paternity list Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Walls was away for a couple of days while tending to more important real-life matters. Tristan Gray had replaced Walls on the roster but will now head back to Triple-A Durham with Walls back in tow.

Senzel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Mets.

Senzel has seen an uptick in plate appearances of late, as Reds manager David Bell gets him into contests whenever a lefty is throwing -- be that a starter or reliever. He's started four of the last six and entered as a pinch hitter in the two games he did not start. The infielder/outfielder has responded well to the increased usage, posting a .391/.391/.696 slash line with two home runs over the last eight games.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Bohm swatted his first home run since Sept. 3 with a solo blast in the eighth inning and extended his hitting streak to seven games. He has 11 hits and five RBI over those seven games and is now up to 91 RBI on the year, giving him a chance to reach 100 RBI for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old has provided a steady bat for the majority of the season, as he's now slashing .281/.337/.439 with 17 home runs, 69 runs and a 41:87 BB:K in 563 plate appearances.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rangers.

Ramirez celebrated his 31st birthday with a fourth-inning solo shot, which sparked the Guardians' nine-run rally in the frame. He also contributed an RBI on a groundout in his second at-bat of the inning. Ramirez is batting .292 (19-for-65) in September, and he's at a .278/.352/.486 slash line with 24 homers, 78 RBI, 83 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 144 games overall.

Jung (thumb) will rejoin the Rangers on Monday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the team's series opener with the Red Sox after an encouraging weekend of rehab, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. "He had a really good day yesterday, a really good day," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. "A lot of improvement from the day before as far as comfort, seeing the ball, hard contact."

Jung, who worked out at the Rangers' complex in Arizona this weekend, faced live pitching and played a three-inning simulated game Saturday. He'll fly back to Texas on Sunday, rejoin the club on Monday and be further evaluated. Jung met with Arizona-based hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan on Thursday and was given full clearance to return to baseball activities. He's been sidelined since Aug. 7 with a fractured left thumb that he had surgically repaired.

Madrigal is absent from the lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks with a hamstring injury, Maddie Lee of The Sun Times reports.

Madrigal exited Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to Arizona early with an apparent hamstring injury. Manager David Ross said Sunday that "it was just some cramping and tightness" and that Madrigal is not expected to require a stint on the injured list. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being with the Cubs having a day off Monday.

Madrigal is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a run scored over the first two games of the series. Patrick Wisdom will take over at third base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Devers went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Sunday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Devers tied the game 2-2 in the top of the ninth inning with a homer off Erik Swanson, his 33rd of the season and his second is any many days. The 26-year-old Devers has been red hot of late, going 13-for-30 (.433) with three homers in his last nine games. Overall, he's batting .276 with an .876 OPS, 98 RBI and 87 runs scored through 614 plate appearances this season.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy has a 1.015 OPS during his eight-game hit streak but will hit the bench Sunday after the Dodgers clinched the NL West crown Saturday in Seattle. Chris Taylor will start at third base and bat leadoff.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with a stolen base, two walks and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Astros.

Garcia went hitless for the seventh time in his last nine games, but the two walks allowed him to generate some production anyway. The infielder is at a .273/.325/.368 slash line with 22 steals, four home runs, 49 RBI and 53 runs scored through 112 contests this season. While he's seen the bulk of the playing time at third base throughout the campaign, his recent struggles at the plate have opened the door for utility man Nick Loftin to earn time at the hot corner.
