    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Exits Game 2 with ankle issue

    Rojas left the night cap of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with an apparent ankle injury, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas grabbed his ankle after being thrown out on a play at third base. The severity of the issue should be revealed after further evaluation, but he'll be considered day-to-day for now. Yadiel Rivera entered the ballgame at third base to replace the injured Rojas.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Late scratch from starting nine

    Gordon (shoulder) was removed from Monday's lineup against the Athletics prior to game time, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Gordon was originally penciled into the lineup at second base and he was slated to bat eighth, but Andrew Romine will be forced into action instead. Gordon has been dealing with a shoulder issue as of Sunday, and it appears the injury is still bothering him, so the Mariners will hold him out as a precaution. Expect the 30-year-old to be evaluated once he arrives at the ballpark ahead of Tuesday's tilt.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Returns to lineup

    Gordon (shoulder) is starting at second base and hitting eighth Monday against the A's, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Gordon has been cleared to rejoin the lineup after being withheld from the starting nine Sunday due to a shoulder issue. The speedster was able to collect a hit -- and eventually score the winning run -- in a pinch hit appearance in the 10th inning Sunday, so fantasy owners should feel safe deploying him this week. Gordon is off to a slow start to the second half of the season (.256/.293/.308), but he's still hitting .278/.300/.339 with 27 stolen bases through 107 games this season.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Makes pinch-hit appearance

    Gordon (shoulder) entered the Mariners' extra-inning win over the Astros on Sunday as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning, singling and subsequently scoring the go-ahead run.

    Gordon's shoulder issues didn't prevent him from hitting successfully for Andrew Romine in the 10th, setting him up to eventually score what would turn out to be the winning run on Mitch Haniger's double. Gordon may be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Athletics, although manager Scott Servais could opt to give him consecutive days off for the second time this month.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Out for Game 1

    Rojas is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

    Rojas is riding a five-game hitting streak. He could get a chance to extend that in the evening portion of Monday's doubleheader, but likely not in the afternoon game, as J.T. Riddle will get the start at shortstop.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Rested for afternoon game

    Swanson is not in the lineup for the afternoon portion of Monday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

    Swanson is hitting just 4-for-29 in the month of August. Charlie Culberson will get the call at shortstop in his place.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Collects multi-hit game, swipes base

    Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss against the Blue Jays.

    Adames pushed across Tampa Bay's only run of the contest in the fourth inning by singling to left field. The bullpen would later allow runs in the sixth and eighth innings on the way to a one-run loss. Adames has put together a modest six-game hitting streak over the course of the Rays' last two series, going 11-for-23 with three extra-base hits and three RBI during that stretch. Tampa Bay is slated to begin a three-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Gets first hit since return

    Correa went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

    Correa's check-swing dribbler in the eighth inning eluded the defense and ended up being a run-producing single. It was his first hit since being activated off the disabled list last week. Correa's 1-for-11 with two walks and four strikeouts since his return.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Launches two-run homer

    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the 8-2 win over Kansas City on Sunday.

    DeJong has three homers in his last five games, bringing him to 12 on the season alongside his 35 RBI. He owns a disappointing .760 OPS in just 305 plate appearances this season after registering a .857 number in his rookie campaign last year.

  • Giants' Chase d'Arnaud: Seems healthy, but not in Sunday's lineup

    d'Arnaud (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    A knee bruise had been affecting d'Arnaud since Tuesday, but he was used as a defensive replacement for the ninth inning in Friday's game, so he appears to be healthy. Evan Longoria and Joe Panik will start at third and second base Sunday, respectively.
