McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals.

McGonigle did all he could to keep the Tigers in the game, including hitting his 14th home run of the season in the fifth inning. The young infielder has four of those long balls in 20 games this month, and he's also recorded 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts this year, making him a well-rounded fantasy asset. McGonigle continues to bolster his case for the AL Rookie of the Year award with his strong performance.

Rocchio went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Rocchio returned to the lineup after riding the bench the last two games. The steal was his 16th of the season and first since July 4. Rocchio has slumped since the All-Star break and entered Sunday with a .183 average over the last 30 games, which could lead to more starting opportunities for Angel Genao.

Caballero will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Caballero had faded at the beginning of August, but he looks to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup following Ryan McMahon's (thumb) recent move to the injured list. Despite going 0-for-9 with two RBI over the previous three contests, Caballero will handle a starting role in the New York infield for a fourth consecutive game Sunday.

Gimenez (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Toronto will keep Gimenez on the bench for a third straight game while he manages a tight right hamstring, but the club has no plans to send him in for an MRI and is optimistic that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, per MLB.com. Ernie Clement will slide over to shortstop as Charles McAdoo covers second base while Gimenez gets another day off.

Duran moved from third base to first base Saturday when Jake Burger (wrist) was removed after getting hit by a pitch.

Duran has played defense at four different positions over the last four contests and made his second appearance at first base. He hasn't been able to call any one position home this season but has thrived in a utility role and as a fill-in for injured starters. Lately, Duran has been filling in at the hot corner for Josh Jung (calf), but Cody Freeman could see more action there if Duran is needed across the diamond.

Culpepper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

This was Culpepper's first homer since he hit one in his major-league debut Aug. 7. The infielder has adjusted well to the big leagues so far, batting .286 over 12 contests. He's added three RBI and five runs scored, but he has yet to attempt a stolen base after swiping 17 bags on 20 attempts over 74 games with Triple-A St. Paul to begin the year.

Neto went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Neto was an extra-base machine, scoring the Angels' first and final runs. The shortstop has now hit safely in five straight games, posting three multi-hit efforts and piling up six extra-base hits in that span. On the season, he's slashing .235/.316/.430 with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 80 runs scored and 18 steals across 563 plate appearances.

Cholowsky is battling right wrist soreness and is being shut down for the remainder of the campaign, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Cholowsky last logged game action Aug. 15 and has subsequently been sidelined by the wrist issue. The White Sox are opting to give him time to heal, thus concluding his first professional campaign. After being taken first overall in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft, Cholowsky played in nine games for High-A Winston-Salem, slashing .167/.326/.333 with one home run, three doubles, four runs, 10 RBI, three stolen bases and a 7:9 BB:K.

Carlson (skin infection) won't play again in 2026, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Carlson fractured his thumb in late May but was able to return less than two months later. However, he's now dealing with a skin infection and is slated to miss the remainder of the campaign. The 20-year-old saw the bulk of his action with Single-A Kannapolis and slashed .256/.388/.338 with no homers, 36 runs, 20 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a 41:58 BB:K over 57 games.

Rodden isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs.

Rodden started seven straight contests at shortstop after getting called up Aug. 14, but he'll hit the bench Saturday despite holding his own with a .250/.321/.417 slash line and three RBI during his time in the big leagues so far. Leo Rivas is stepping in to start at shortstop Saturday.
