Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Contributes three RBI in win
Seager went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI, a run scored and a walk during Monday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.
With the three base knocks Monday, Seager has now recorded multi-hit performances in eight of his last nine games. The 32-year-old helped out early, lining a two-run double to extend the lead to three. He later added on some insurance, smacking an RBI double to center field. Over his last 15 games, Seager is slashing .357/.419/.607 with three homers and eight RBI in 61 plate appearances.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Continuing rehab assignment Tuesday
Story (sports hernia) will continue his rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Story had been viewed as candidate to return from the 60-day injured list Monday, but he didn't join the Red Sox for the start of their road trip and looks like he'll remain out for all three games of the team's series in Miami to begin the week. If all goes well during Tuesday's rehab contest, Story -- who has been on the shelf since May 16 -- could be activated at some point during the Red Sox's weekend series in New York versus the Yankees. Since kicking off his rehab assignment with Worcester on Aug. 16, Story has gone 4-for-21 with a 0:5 BB:K while playing exclusively in the field at shortstop.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Blasts homer No. 10
Tovar went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double before being lifted in the sixth inning after injuring his wrist during Monday's 13-3 loss to the Nationals, Eli Whitney of Purple Row reports.
In Tovar's second at-bat against Cade Cavalli, he took the right-hander deep to center field for a solo shot to extend Colorado's lead. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless drought. The 25-year-old was lifted in the bottom of the sixth after straining his left wrist on a diving play in the fifth inning. On the campaign, Tovar is slashing .209/.257/.596 with 10 homers and 39 RBI in 429 plate appearances. Ryan Ritter replaced Tovar at shortstop.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Lands on 10-day IL
Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left elbow sprain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Adames picked up the injury during Sunday's series finale against Boston, and it'll cost him at least the next 10 days. The Giants will presumably turn to Christian Koss and Osleivis Basabe at shortstop while Adames is on the mend. The club has classified Adames' injury as a moderate sprain, and he'll likely need longer than the 10-day minimum before being activated, per Rubin.

Caleb Bonemer SS | CHW
White Sox's Caleb Bonemer: Will be used in center field this week
Bonemer will get some starts in center field later this week with Double-A Birmingham, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
To this point in his pro career, Bonemer has played only shortstop and third base. However, with Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas holding down the left side of the infield for the White Sox, Bonemer will get some exposure to the outfield. The 20-year-old has slashed .249/.381/.556 with 33 home runs and 16 stolen bases between Birmingham and High-A Winston-Salem this season.

Colt Emerson SS | SEA
Mariners' Colt Emerson: Set for season-ending wrist surgery
Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will undergo season-ending left wrist surgery Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
The exact nature of the procedure isn't clear, but Emerson is expected to be 100 percent recovered in time for spring training. The rookie infielder finishes his season having slashed .190/.246/.335 with eight home runs, three stolen bases and a 15:83 BB:K over 69 games. Despite the lackluster first stint in the big leagues, Emerson is the odds-on favorite to open the 2027 campaign as the Mariners' starting shortstop.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Could be activated Tuesday
Crawford (wrist) has rejoined the Mariners in Seattle and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Crawford has been out for all of August due to left wrist inflammation, but he's nearly ready to roll after going 4-for-11 with one home run in three rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. With Colt Emerson (wrist) and Brendan Donovan (concussion) shelved, Crawford should see plenty of playing time on the left side of the Mariners' infield, once he's activated.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Returning to Washington lineup
Abrams (ankle) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Rockies.
Abrams missed the last four contests while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but he's feeling well enough to at least hit in Monday's series opener. When Abrams does return to playing a position, he's expected to serve as the Nationals' primary second baseman down the stretch.

Andruw Monasterio SS | BOS
Red Sox's Andruw Monasterio: Exiting starting lineup
Monasterio is out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Miami.
Monesterio had started at shortstop in each of Boston's last 11 games, but he will get a breather Monday as the Red Sox open up a road trip. Nick Sogard has shifted over to shortstop in Monesterio's stead, and Anthony Seigler will grab a start at second base. Monasterio could soon be headed for a full-time utility role, as Trevor Story (sports hernia) is expected to take over as the Red Sox's primary shortstop once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list later this week.

Leo De Vries SS | ATH
Athletics' Leo De Vries: Shut down with shoulder injury
Double-A Midland placed De Vries on its 7-day injured list Tuesday while he recovers from a sore right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The Athletics sent De Vries to their facility in Arizona to conduct his rehab and have shut him from throwing for four weeks, effectively bringing an end to his season. One of the top prospects in all of baseball, De Vries has spent his entire age-19 season at Midland, slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 home runs and 34 stolen bases over 431 plate appearances. Assuming DeVries is ready to start throwing without issue by the end of September, he could pick up some additional at-bats in fall instructionals and/or the Arizona Fall League. The switch-hitting infielder doesn't have much left to prove in the minors, so he should be ready to make his MLB debut for the Athletics early in the 2027 season.
