  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Mets' Pablo Reyes: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Mets designated Reyes for assignment Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Reyes was with the Mets for one week and appeared in just one game as a pinch runner. He was replaced on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster by fellow utility player Eddy Alvarez, whom the Mets acquired from the Red Sox on Sunday.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Heads to bench as Dominguez returns

    Stanton is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Aaron Judge will occupy the designated-hitter spot Monday while Jasson Dominguez picks up a start in the outfield after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stanton is in the midst of a 1-for-19 slide at the plate and could see his playing time dip upon Dominguez's arrival, though manager Aaron Boone told Laura Albanese of Newsday that Stanton will serve as the Yankees' DH more often that not. With that in mind, Alex Verdugo -- who will start in left field Monday -- could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup more frequently than Stanton.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Taking seat against lefty

    Yoshida is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Yoshida has mostly been an everyday player this season when healthy, but he'll hit the bench for a second straight matchup with a lefty (Cade Povich). Tyler O'Neill will get a start at designated hitter for Boston.

  • Jair Camargo C | ATL

    Twins' Jair Camargo: Rejoins major-league club

    The Twins recalled Camargo from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

    Camargo will give the Twins a second catcher behind Ryan Jeffers for the next few days while Christian Vazquez is on the paternity list. He's a good bet to be sent back down later this week once Vazquez is ready to return.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Matches career high with 46th HR

    Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Ohtani took Tanner Bibee 450 feet to right field in the fifth that was calculated at 116.7 MPH off the bat. The home run brought him up to 46 for the year, which ties his career high from 2021. He's also now at 101 RBI for the season, which is a new career high. Ohtani is the first player in MLB history to have 46 home runs and 46 stolen bases in the same season and he's knocking on the door of history with a 50-50 campaign. For the year, Ohtani is slashing .291/.374/.618 with 83 extra-base hits, 113 runs and a 72:145 BB:K in 642 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Crushes 19th homer

    McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Nationals.

    McCutchen's third-inning blast was his 19th of the season, placing him just one shy of reaching the 20-homer milestone for the second time since 2018. The 37-year-old veteran has been battling a knee issue but has been productive when in the lineup, batting 17-for-53 (.321) with six home runs and 17 RBI over 15 games since the start of August.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Hitting bench Sunday

    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Though Manzardo is on the bench for the second game in a row, he ended up recording a double over two at-bats in Saturday's 7-2 loss. The Guardians may be looking to give Manzardo a proper rest day Sunday, with Jose Ramirez getting a day out of the infield and replacing the rookie as Cleveland's designated hitter.

  • Justin Foscue 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Not starting against righty

    Foscue is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Though he was deployed at designated hitter both of the past two days when the Angels sent left-handed starters to the hill, the right-handed-hitting Foscue will hit the bench for a fourth straight matchup with a right-hander (Caden Dana). Even with the recent move of Corey Seager (hip) to the injured list opening up a spot in Texas' everyday lineup versus righties, the Rangers seem inclined to rotate a number of players at DH rather than committing to Foscue in a full-time role.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Mets' J.D. Martinez: Not starting Sunday

    Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Martinez started the past two games after returning from the paternity list, and he'll receive a day off after going 2-for-8 with a double, three RBI and three strikeouts. Jesse Winker will shift to designated hitter while Harrison Bader picks up a start in the outfield.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Brewers' Gary Sanchez: Blasts 10th home run

    Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.

    Sanchez set the tone for the Brewers early, following up Willy Adames' solo homer in the first inning with a shot of his own. His 10th homer of the year was just his third in 36 home games thus far. Sanchez got his first hit since Aug. 25, after he had gone 0-for-15 in his previous five games. The 31-year-old catcher has now hit 10 or more home runs in each of the last nine seasons.
