  • Ji-Man Choi 1B | NYM

    Rays' Ji-Man Choi: Resting versus lefty

    Choi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

    After going 2-for-9 with three walks and a run while starting in each of the Rays' final three games of their weekend series with the Tigers, the lefty-hitting Choi will head to the bench Monday with southpaw Robbie Ray on the mound for Toronto. Jordan Luplow replaces Choi at first base.

  • Harold Ramirez DH | WAS

    Indians' Harold Ramirez: Out for Game 1 of twin bill

    Ramirez (shoulder) is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Kansas City.

    Ramirez could rejoin the starting nine for the nightcap, but Cleveland may prefer to stay away from the 27-year-old for the day after he injured his right shoulder in Sunday's blowout win over the Yankees. Before departing, Ramirez enjoyed a nice day at the dish, going 2-for-2 with four RBI and a run. Oscar Mercado will spell Ramirez in left field as Cleveland kicks off a nine-game week that includes a pair of doubleheaders.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Angels' Shohei Ohtani: Fans 10 across eight frames

    Ohtani got a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Oakland, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts in eight innings.

    Ohtani was in his customary dominant form on the mound Sunday and shut Oakland down aside from two solo home runs surrendered. The 10 strikeouts ties Ohtani's season high, while his 108 pitches thrown are his second most in any start this season. The outing was a nice rebound from his last start, when he permitted six runs against the Astros on Sep. 10. There's been no word yet on when Ohtani might take the mound next.

    Phillies' Brad Miller: Idle versus lefty

    Along with Miller, fellow left-handed hitters Didi Gregorius and Odubel Herrera will bow out of the starting nine with the Mets bringing southpaw Rich Hill to the mound. J.T. Realmuto will replace Miller at first base, while Andrew Knapp picks up a start behind the plate. Miller was in the lineup for each of the past three contests, going 4-for-11 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs.
