Smith started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Smith has started four consecutive games in right field, a spot that normally is filled by the injured Adolis Garcia (ankle). Smith makes a good living in Texas as a fill-in for injured players regardless of position. He's started games at first base (24), third base (28), shortstop (31) and all three outfield spots (13).

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Henderson launched a missile off Dustin May in the third inning to open the scoring Monday to snap a seven-game homer-less streak. He then added a scorching triple in the seventh inning to drive in another run. Despite Baltimore's disappointing season, the star shortstop has been great, posting an .824 OPS with 29 doubles, five triples, 15 homers, 57 RBI and 16 steals in 118 games.

Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Rocchio is up to three homers on the year, with two of them coming over his last three games. The infielder has put together a strong August, going 17-for-54 (.315) across 16 games this month while occupying a starting role, primarily at second base. He's up to a .237/.289/.348 slash line with 31 RBI, 20 runs scored and six stolen bases through 77 contests this season, though he is trending upward.

Montgomery left Monday's game against Atlanta with left side soreness.

Montgomery can be tagged as day-to-day until the team has more information on the extent of the injury. If he needs to be shut down, look for Brooks Baldwin to see opportunities at shortstop. After the game, Montgomery stated "I just took a swing on a foul ball and I kind of felt a little bit of a stretch. But I mean nothing crazy or anything like that. Got on first and they saw I was feeling for it and they asked me if I felt something and I was like yeah, but nothing too serious," per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

Sweeney went 2-for-4 with a triple, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Astros.

Sweeney chipped in his second triple of the season, but his key swing came in the seventh inning, when he launched his sixth home run of the year with two runners on. It was the young shortstop's first long ball since July 6 and gives him something to build on, as he's currently seeing regular playing time with Javier Baez focusing on center field as Detroit deals with injuries to Matt Vierling (oblique) and Parker Meadows (quad).

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Aug. 6 that Mateo (hamstring) has resumed running and appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list in early September, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo was initially placed on the IL on June 10 due to left elbow inflammation, but he sustained a left hamstring strain a few weeks later during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk that has significantly delayed his return to the active roster. The utility player has begun to make some strides in his recovery and is "starting to get up to some higher speeds on the ground," according to Mansolino, but a more definitive timeline for Mateo's return from the IL likely won't become available until he's cleared to resume playing in minor-league games.

Kasevich (back) has gone 1-for-7 with a walk in two games for Triple-A Buffalo since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Kasevich had been on the shelf all season due to a stress reaction in his lower back, which he suffered during spring training. The 24-year-old started up a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on May 20, but he suffered a setback at some point along the way, as he didn't appear in any games after May 27 before resuming his assignment in mid-July. Kasevich finally received clearance to rejoin the Triple-A club after he played in eight games and went 8-for-20 with a 6:3 BB:K during his second rehab assignment, which included stops in the FCL and with Single-A Dunedin.

In 12 games this month for Double-A Erie, McGonigle has five home runs and a 1.082 OPS.

In his first 14 games for Erie following a promotion in early July, McGonigle posted a solid .302 batting average but only went deep once. The 21-year-old has displayed increased power since the calendar flipped to August, however, with the five long balls, including four homers in his last five games. McGonigle has quickly established himself as a top-five prospect and the Tigers' shortstop of the near future, although it's unclear how aggressively he'll be pushed over the rest of the season.

Duran entered Sunday's game in the seventh inning after first baseman Jake Burger was removed with a wrist injury. Duran finished out the game at first base and went 0-for-1 with a walk in a 10-4 victory over the Blue Jays.

There's no shortage of players on the roster that can play first base, and Duran could be the choice against lefties should Burger miss any time. Against right-handers, manager Bruce Bochy has Josh Smith, Rowdy Tellez and Joc Pederson that hit from the left side of the plate.

Brito (hamstring) is running, fielding and hitting following a significant left hamstring strain sustained in early July, MLB.com reports.

It's been six weeks since Brito landed on the injured list, and the estimated recovery time for strains like his is between eight and 12 weeks. That gives him a chance to return to action at some point in September. The hamstring and an earlier thumb injury put a damper on an important year of development for Brito, who has played 24 games at Triple-A Columbus and another seven in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
