Judge went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored during the Yankees' 9-3 win over the Tigers on Thursday.

Judge kick-started the Yankees' offensive barrage with a solo home run off Tyler Holton in the first inning and followed that up with another solo shot in the third to give the Bronx Bombers a 4-1 lead. Judge's second homer was the 361st of his major-league career, which tied Yankee great Joe DiMaggio for fourth most in franchise history. Judge struggled at the plate after returning from an elbow strain in early August, but he has a 1.179 OPS with four solo home runs and 10 runs scored over his last 10 games

O'Hoppe (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup during the Angels' upcoming series at Milwaukee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

O'Hoppe has been sidelined with a concussion since Monday and is reportedly feeling better. It's unclear if he'll be activated for the start of the series against the Brewers when first eligible Tuesday, but his absence should be relatively brief.

Rengifo will start at second base and bat sixth against the Mariners on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo was originally slated to have a day off Thursday withChris Taylor manning the keystone. However, Taylor will now be sent to right field to cover for a scratched Jo Adell (illness), and Rengifo will start at second base. The 28-year-old owns a .577 OPS since the start of September and has logged just two hits in his last five games.

Adell (illness) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Adell returned to action Wednesday after missing two games due to vertigo, but renewed symptoms will force him to miss Thursday's contest as well. Chris Taylor will move to right field to cover for Adell, and Luis Rengifo will enter the lineup to start at second base.

The Blue Jays reinstated Manoah (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

The Blue Jays have five starters that are healthy in their rotation as of Thursday, and Manoah will not be joining them as a sixth man at this time. If he does not rejoin the big-league club in 2025, he should have a path back into the rotation in 2026 with Shane Bieber holding a player option while Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are set to become free agents. Manoah had a 3.09 ERA with a 18:12 K:BB in 23.1 innings across five games for Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment, which is where he is set to continue to pitch. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays designated Orelvis Martinez (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Halos will give Rengifo a day off after the 28-year-old went 2-for-16 with three RBI over his last five games. Chris Taylor will man the keystone instead Thursday and bat sixth.

Peraza isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peraza will receive a day to recollect himself Thursday after beginning September with a .572 OPS through 10 games. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Logan Davidson to step in as Los Angeles' first baseman and bat eighth.

Rivero isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rivero started three straight games behind the plate upon coming up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, going 3-for-11 with two RBI and three runs scored in the process. He'll now receive a day off with Travis d'Arnaud set to catch for Jose Soriano.

Arias (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Kansas City.

Arias is expected to play through his wrist injury to help the Guardians push for a spot in the postseason, but not before he misses a third consecutive start Thursday. Brayan Rocchio will fill in at shortstop in Arias' absence, putting Daniel Schneemann at second base and opening a spot in the lineup for George Valera to serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.

Seymour (3-2) took the loss Thursday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

It's the second straight loss for Seymour, who gave up five runs (though just one earned) over four innings in a relief appearance against the Guardians last Friday. Despite his recent stumble, Seymour has been solid when working in the rotation, allowing just four earned runs across 15.1 innings in three starts. The left-hander is currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home his next time out, should Tampa elect to keep Seymour in the rotation.
