Cabrera (ankle) said Monday that there's a "small window" for him to return this season, but it remains an unlikely proposition, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cabrera underwent surgery in mid-May to repair a fracture and ligament damage in his left ankle. He has been walking around lately without the aid of a scooter or boot, but he cannot jog yet or perform baseball activities. Even if the Yankees manage to make a postseason run, it's likely Cabrera will be held out until next season.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

It's a routine day off for O'Hoppe as the Angels kick off a series against the Dodgers. Travis d'Arnaud will do the catching and bat eighth for the Halos.

Moore is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Dodgers.

Moore is just 3-for-20 at the plate since returning from a thumb injury, and this will be the second time over the last three contests that he's began the game on the bench. Luis Rengifo will handle second base and bat seventh for the Angels.

Caglianone (hamstring) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Caglianone has resided on the 10-day injured list since late July due to a left hamstring strain, but he's been deemed ready for game action after he responded well to resuming baseball activities last week. Before landing on the shelf, the rookie produced a .147/.205/.280 slash line with five home runs, one stolen base, 10 RBI and nine runs over 161 plate appearances through his first 41 big-league games.

Ragans (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander will throw off the bump for the first time since he was shelved in early June with a left rotator cuff strain. Ragans will presumably be built back up as a starter during his throwing progression, and given how long he's been out thus far, a return from the 60-day injured list before the end of August could be ambitious.

The Angels designated Kingery for assignment Monday.

The move makes room on the Angels' 40-man roster for Shaun Anderson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake. Kingery has spent most of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he has a .256/.317/.424 slash line with one steal, three triples, five home runs and 21 RBI in 189 plate appearances.

The Red Sox designated Burdi for assignment Monday.

He will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to left-hander Jovani Moran, who was called up from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Monday's series opener in Houston. The 32-year-old Burdi had made just four relief appearances for Boston this season but has pitched well for Worcester, logging a 1.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB across 24 innings.

India is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

India will get his first day off since July 30 after slashing just .182/.308/.303 through the Royals' first nine games of August. With India on the bench, Adam Frazier will start at second base and Randal Grichuk will serve as the Royals' designated hitter.

The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Murphy spent the first three months on the injured list while completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery before being activated in late June. Over 14 appearances out of the Boston bullpen, Murphy submitted a 3.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 20.2 innings while being used mainly in lower-leverage spots. His demotion likely has less to do with his performance than it does Boston's desire to bring in a fresh arm, as Murphy had pitched three of the past five days while covering three innings in total. Boston called up left-hander Jovani Moran from Triple-A to replace Murphy in the bullpen.

Witt (back) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Nationals.

Witt sat out Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins due to back stiffness, but the day off was apparently all the superstar shortstop needed to move past the issue ahead of Monday's series opener. The 25-year-old is batting just .226 thus far in August, but he's still provided two home runs, two stolen bases, five RBI and five runs over that eight-game stretch.
