Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Should begin rehab stint next week
Santander (shoulder) will continue his workout program with the Blue Jays this weekend in New York and could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The veteran outfielder has been sidelined over three months while recovering from a dislocated shoulder, but he's in the final stages of his rehab program. Santander will need at least five games in the minors to get back up to speed, which means that the earliest he'll be able to rejoin the Blue Jays will be Sept. 14 versus the Orioles.

Angels' Mike Trout: Remains out Wednesday
Trout (skin infection) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Trout was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 5-1 win as he deals with a skin infection, and he'll now miss a second straight start. Taylor Ward (forehead) will return from the two-game absence to start Wednesday and will fill in for Trout at designated hitter.

Guardians' David Fry: Homers versus Crochet
Fry went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
Fry collected his first hit since Aug. 14 with a two-run blast off Garrett Crochet in the sixth inning. It's been a struggle for Fry when in the lineup. He has just five hits in 40 at-bats since the beginning of August and is hitting .159 overall for the season. Fry posted an .804 OPS in 122 games for the Guardians in 2024 but just has not been able to get going following elbow surgery in the offseason.

Blue Jays' George Springer: Two more homers Tuesday
Springer went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-9 win over the Reds.
The veteran outfielder led off the game with a solo shot off Scott Barlow, and then muscled a Brent Suter fastball over the center-field fence for a two-run blast in the fourth. It's the second two-homer performance from Springer in his last seven games, and since returning from a concussion Aug. 16 he's been on an absolute tear, slashing .381/.466/.794 over 16 contests with eight home runs, four steals, 14 RBI and 21 runs. With 23 games left on Toronto's schedule, Springer needs four more long balls to reach 30 for the third time in his career, and four stolen bases to tie his career high of 20.

Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW
White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Knocks in two in first start
Ramos went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.
Ramos was recalled when rosters expanded Monday and was in the big-league lineup for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday. He struck out three times but also delivered a two-RBI double in the fifth inning. Ramos figures to be primarily a bench bat, but he could get mixed in against right-handed starters while Miguel Vargas (wrist) is sidelined.

Yandy Diaz 1B | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Scores twice Tuesday
Diaz went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored Tuesday against the Mariners.
Diaz reached base on a walk in both the first and seventh innings while coming around to score on each occasion. He's reached base multiple times in 15 of his last 25 starts dating back to Aug. 1. In that span, he's hit .302 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored while maintaining an .856 OPS.

Jorge Polanco 2B | SEA
Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Reaches in all four PA
Polanco went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Rays.
Polanco walked twice in addition to his pair of hits, reaching base in each of his plate appearances Tuesday. A fourth-inning solo home run off Drew Rasmussen marked Polanco's third long ball in five games and his fifth round tripper in his last 11 games. The 32-year-old is slashing .254/.319/.472 in 2025.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Scratched Tuesday
Trout was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a skin infection.
Trout's infection will prevent him from starting Tuesday, and it's currently unclear if his absence will extend further into the Angels' series against Kansas City. Jo Adell will fill in as the Halos' designated hitter while Trout sits, opening up right field for Chris Taylor.

Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU
Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Getting breather Tuesday
Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
It's the second day off Alvarez has received since he returned from the 60-day injured list a week ago, as the Astros don't want to overload him following a long absence. Yainer Diaz is in the designated hitter spot and Jose Altuve is playing left field Tuesday.

Jahmai Jones 2B | DET
Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Goes deep in four-hit game
Jones went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 10-8 loss to the Mets.
Batting first against New York southpaw Sean Manaea, Jones continued to torment left-handed pitching with his first career four-hit game. The 28-year-old now has a .913 OPS against lefties this year, and he's hit all five of his home runs in those matchups, including one to lead off the contest Monday. Jones doesn't typically play against righties, which limits his fantasy upside, but he's worth using when he has the platoon advantage.
