  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting Sunday

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Orioles will give Holliday a couple of days to catch his breath with a team day off coming Monday. Holliday had made 12 consecutive starts at second base, but he'll yield to Luis Vazquez on Sunday.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Receiving rare day off

    Bichette is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Bichette started the previous 55 contests and will receive a break Sunday after going 9-for-19 with four doubles and two homers in the first five games of September. He appeared to get a bit banged up during Saturday's contest on a slide into home plate, though no injury has been announced and the shortstop never exited the contest. Monday's team off day will provide Bichette with two consecutive days to rest ahead of a stretch of a stretch of 13 games in 13 days.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Sitting Sunday

    Witt (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Witt left Friday's 2-1 win with low back spasms and will close out the weekend with two straight absences while he manages the injury. On an encouraging note, an MRI on Witt's back returned clean Saturday, so he should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Could return Tuesday

    Manager Will Venable said Saturday he "wouldn't be surprised" to see Vargas (hand) be activated from the 10-day injured list during a three-game series against the Rays that starts Tuesday.

    Vargas has been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to a sprained left hand he sustained during a collision with a baserunner while playing first base. According to Venable, Vargas' rehab has been going well, and the 25-year-old could rejoin the active roster as soon as Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Closing in on 40 steals

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

    The Guardians made Shane Baz pay for the HBP in the fourth inning, as Ramirez stole second base and scored Cleveland's first run. The stolen base was his first in 16 games and 37th of the season, putting him within reach of a second consecutive campaign with at least 40 steals.

  • Pierson Ohl RP | MIN

    Twins' Pierson Ohl: Promoted Sunday

    The Twins recalled Ohl from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Ohl was called up for his MLB debut in late August and had a 5.66 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings (seven appearances) before being sent back to Triple-A. The right-hander is now back in the big leagues and is likely to operate as a long reliever.

  • Mike Tauchman RF | CHW

    White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Back in lineup

    Tauchman (soreness) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against Detroit.

    Tauchman will return to the lineup for the first time since Tuesday, after general soreness had kept him out of commission for a few days. The veteran outfielder should continue to set the table for the White Sox against right-handed pitching, though he'll likely be held out of the starting nine versus most left-handed pitchers.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Sitting Sunday

    Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The 20-year-old departed Saturday's game after taking a foul tip off his right hand. X-rays on his hand came back negative, so it appears Basallo won't miss extended time. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Sunday.

  • Twins' Carson McCusker: Called up from St. Paul

    The Twins recalled McCusker from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    McCusker will join the 28-man active roster as a replacement for catcher Ryan Jeffers (concussion), who was placed on the 7-day injured list. The 27-year-old outfielder has slashed .246/.316/.479 with 22 home runs and five stolen bases in 434 plate appearances with St. Paul this season.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Goes on IL with concussion

    The Twins placed Jeffers on the 7-day injured list Sunday with a concussion.

    Jeffers took a foul tip off the mask Thursday and had been held out of the lineup for Minnesota's ensuing two games. With the backstop now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Twins until next Friday. Mickey Gasper and Jhonny Pereda will serve as the Twins' options behind the plate while both Jeffers and Christian Vazquez (shoulder) are on the shelf.
