Seager went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-4 loss to Boston.

The veteran shortstop tied the game at 3-3 when he launched a 384-foot, two-run homer off southpaw reliever Bailey Horn in the seventh inning. Seager has tormented the Red Sox this season, hitting .438 (7-for-16) with four homers, six RBI and five runs scored in four games against them. Overall, the 30-year-old now sports a .277/.356/.506 slash line with 63 RBI and 59 runs scored across 458 plate appearances.

Bello did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win over Texas, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.

The 25-year-old notched his eighth quality start of the season -- and third since the All-Star break -- with this 95-pitch appearance. Bello held the Rangers to no extra-base hits, as the only run he yielded came on a Marcus Semien knock in the fifth inning. Post-break, the Boston right-hander has pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 29 innings across five starts. He lines up to face the first-place Orioles in Baltimore for his next outing this weekend.

Mahle did not factor into the decision in Monday's loss to Boston, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

The Texas righty generated 15 whiffs en route to his seven punchouts, as he fired 92 pitches in this performance. However, Mahle did struggle with his control at times -- a hallmark of those returning from an elbow injury -- as he allowed three free passes against a patient Red Sox team that took walked nine times total in the contest. After his first 9.2 innings with the Rangers, Mahle's ERA now stands at 2.79 with 9:4 K:BB. He is scheduled to make his next start against the Twins at home this weekend.

Witt was diagnosed with a bruise after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm/wrist during Monday's loss to the Twins, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The team sent Witt for imaging after the game likely as a precaution, and the results came back negative. Kansas City's medical staff figures to give the star shortstop a quick look Tuesday to make sure there isn't any significant swelling, but all signs point to him being in the starting lineup for the second game of the series.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Royals.

The Twins slugger manned the hot corner and capped a six-run second inning with his 389-foot, two-run blast off Brady Singer. Lewis later scored his 27th run of the season in the seventh inning via a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly. When playing, the 25-year-old has been a fantasy star, as he now boasts a .279/.356/.664 slash line with 15 homers and 34 RBI across 160 plate appearances in 40 games.

Chisholm will undergo imaging Tuesday after suffering a left elbow injury during Monday's game against the White Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Chisholm picked up the injury in the fifth inning on a slide at the plate, and he was lifted right before his turn to bat in the seventh. Oswaldo Cabrera or DJ LeMahieu could start at third base Tuesday if Chisholm can't go.

The Rays plan to recall Caminero from Triple-A Durham ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero missed a good chunk of the season at Triple-A while dealing with a quadricep injury, but he was activated from the 7-day injured list July 19 and is now on his way to join the big-league club. Prior to Monday's promotion, he was batting .276 with 13 home runs, 34 RBI, one stolen base and 33 runs scored in 53 games for Durham. Caminero has been featured primarily at third base this season (43 games) but also has experience at second base (eight games). The 21-year-old also logged 29 games at shortstop a season ago.

Castro went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's 8-3 win versus Kansas City.

The 27-year-old drew his fourth consecutive start in the leadoff spot and cracked a 386-foot, three-run blast off Brady Singer in the second inning to give the Twins a 4-2 lead. Castro has now equaled his career high in long balls with nine, also achieved in 2021 and 2023. The utility man continues to find plenty of playing time in Minnesota thanks to his versatility and is now slashing .259/.342/.407 with 12 steals, 68 runs scored and 44 RBI across 480 plate appearances.

Chisholm was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to an apparent left arm/shoulder injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Ben Rice pinch hit for Chisholm in the seventh inning and Hoch notes that the broadcast captured video of the 26-year-old moving his arm around in the dugout after scoring in the fifth. The team has yet to reveal any additional details on Chisholm's injury, so he'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Lopez (11-8) earned the win Monday against the Royals, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out five.

The Minnesota righty picked up his 12th quality start of the season with this 96-pitch effort. He looked to be in for a rough outing after allowing a solo homer -- his 22nd given up this season -- to Bobby Witt in the opening frame. However, Lopez settled in and generated a solid 15 whiffs en route to his fifth career win against Kansas City. The 28-year-old has been dependable since the All-Star break, going 3-1 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 31 innings. He is currently slated to face the Rangers on the road for his next start this weekend.
