Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW
White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Moves up from Triple-A
The White Sox recalled Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
The 23-year-old third baseman got his first taste of the big leagues last season, appearing in 32 games with Chicago and slashing .202/.252/.333 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 7:22 BB:K across 108 plate appearances. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, producing a .218/.317/.391 slash line with 14 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 392 trips to the plate. Ramos is unlikely to be in line for regular playing time with the White Sox in September, at least not right away.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Out of lineup versus lefty
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Yoshida had started in all three of the Red Sox's games versus Pittsburgh over the weekend and went 2-for-10 with two walks and one run, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send lefty Parker Messick to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will replace Yoshida in the lineup at designated hitter.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting against southpaw
Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
After starting in each of the Tigers' last six games, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill for the series opener. Keith is slashing just .143/.200/.167 over 45 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

Masataka Yoshida LF | BOS
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Finishes month on sour note
Yoshida served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.
Yoshida ended August on a down note. Over the final 12 games of the month, he had a .412 OPS with one extra-base hit and zero RBI. He's now batting just .224 with a .609 OPS and two home runs since his return to Boston in early July. It's fair to wonder how long Yoshida's leash is at DH given the limited impact his bat has made. Once Wilyer Abreu (calf) is ready to come off the IL, Yoshida's playing time should take a hit.

Joc Pederson DH | TEX
Rangers' Joc Pederson: Goes yard again
Pederson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
The 33-year-old tagged J.T. Ginn for a two-run homer in the first inning, marking Pederson's fourth home run in his last 38 plate appearances spanning nine games. He had gone yard just four times in 195 plate appearances before the stretch. In those nine games, Pederson is 12-for-38 (.316) with 12 RBI and three doubles.

Yandy Diaz 1B | TB
Rays' Yandy Diaz: Receiving rest Sunday
Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Diaz will receive a breather after starting six stright games while going 8-for-23 with a solo home run, three doubles, two walks and two additional runs. Bob Seymour will start at first base and Brandon Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Joc Pederson DH | TEX
Rangers' Joc Pederson: Runs hit streak to eight games
Pederson went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.
Pederson smacked a seventh-inning double to extend a hit streak to eight games, easily his best stretch of a trying season. He's gone 10-for-33 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and six runs scored during the streak. The Rangers are finally getting what they paid for when they signed Pederson to a one-year, $18.5 million contract this past winter with a player option for 2026 -- he's slashing .277/.338/.554 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 23 contests in August.

Trevor Larnach LF | MIN
Twins' Trevor Larnach: Resting Sunday
Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
The Padres are having right-hander David Morgan open the contest, but since lefty Kyle Hart is projected to work in bulk relief, Larnach will take a seat. His absence will open up the DH spot for Byron Buxton.

Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE
Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Belts big homer Saturday
Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a 4-3 win against Seattle.
Manzardo's sixth-inning long ball gave Cleveland a 3-0 lead and proved critical in a one-run game. It also marked the second straight contest in which the slugger has gone deep following a 13-game homer drought. Manzardo is up to 23 home runs and 60 RBI on the season while slashing .235/.316/.464 over 431 plate appearances.

Brent Rooker DH | ATH
Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers in three-hit effort
Rooker went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.
Rooker has gone 7-for-14 with four extra-base hits over his last four games. The designated hitter has added four RBI in that span. While he hasn't had a longer hit streak during August, he's also been able to keep his slumps short. The 30-year-old is up to 27 homers, 78 RBI, 86 runs scored, five stolen bases, 34 doubles, three triples and a .273/.345/.500 slash line across 137 games this season.
