The Tigers recalled Ryan from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Ryan will make his Tigers debut Monday with a start against the Nationals, though he will be limited after topping out at 2.2 innings and 39 pitches over two starts at Triple-A Toledo upon returning from the 7-day injured list. Acquired from the Dodgers on Aug. 2, Ryan missed all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery and was shelved for nearly three months by a hamstring injury in 2026. The 28-year-old has flashed electric stuff when on the bump, however, and logged a 1.33 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 frames in four starts for Los Angeles in 2024. Ryan is in line for a second start this week on Sunday versus the Pirates, though his workload will be limited in that outing as well.

The Tigers placed Keith on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.

He missed a couple games last week with thumb soreness, and subsequent testing revealed a sprain. The injury will bring an end to the season for Keith, who finishes with a .258/.322/.406 batting line and 10 home runs over 140 contests for the Tigers. Gleyber Torres and/or Eduardo Valencia could handle designated-hitter duties for the Tigers in the final week while Keith is out.

The Tigers placed Melton on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right arm fatigue.

While it's unfortunate that Melton's season will end with him on the IL, it's good news that he appears to have avoided any structural issues with his pitching arm. He had a 7.79 ERA in four September starts, so the fatigue could be something that's nagged at Melton for a little while. Even after the poor final month, Melton will finish with a 2.76 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 94:37 K:BB over 114.1 innings covering 20 starts for the Tigers.

Bell is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

Bell will retreat to the bench for the series opener against the Giants after starting each of the previous seven contests. Alan Roden is in the designated hitter slot and will bat sixth for the Twins while Bell rests.

Lewis is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

Lewis has slashed just .183/.207/.243 with one home run and a 4:28 BB:K over his last 30 games to drop his season batting line to .227/.290/.381. Aaron Sabato is starting at first base for the Twins on Monday, and he could continue playing over Lewis at the position during the final week of the regular season.

Jenkins will start in center field and bat leadoff in Monday's contest versus the Giants.

It's the second straight day in the leadoff spot for Jenkins, who had not hit higher than eighth in any starts prior to this two-game stretch. After going 4-for-45 (.089) in his first 16 major-league games, Jenkins is 9-for-17 with a pair of home runs across his last four contests.

The Tigers will recall Jung from Triple-A Toledo prior to Monday's game versus the Nationals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Jung has spent almost all of the 2026 campaign at Toledo, slashing .227/.344/.421 with 22 home runs over 133 contests. The 25-year-old can handle first base, second base and third base, but his playing time in the final week of the regular season will not be assured.

Bregman has been diagnosed with multiple facial fractures after being struck on the left side of the face with a foul ball while on the on-deck circle during Sunday's game versus the Reds, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The injury will end Bregman's regular season, but he does not need surgery and is hopeful of returning at some point during the postseason. When exactly that return might happen is unclear, but more could be known later this week after the Cubs see how the third baseman progresses. Bregman overcame a slow start to finish with a .262/.352/.452 batting line and 26 home runs over 153 games in his first season with the Cubs. With Bregman out, the Cubs could turn to Pedro Ramirez at third base.

Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Monday on 680 The Fan that it's "highly likely" Suarez (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday or Thursday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

Suarez made a rehab appearance with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, striking out one in a scoreless inning. It was the veteran reliever's first outing in three months, as he's been slowly working his way back from right elbow inflammation. A healthy Suarez should be a big boost to the Atlanta bullpen, though it's unlikely he'll be available to pitch on back-to-back days for a bit.

Davidson will join the Giants in San Francisco and is likely to be added to the roster before Monday's game against the Twins, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

There's no word on whose roster spot he will take, but Jung Hoo Lee (groin) and Bryce Eldridge (head) are both banged up. Davidson has slashed .290/.361/.527 with 29 home runs, 20 stolen bases and a 53:118 BB:K over 125 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season to earn his first promotion to the big leagues. The 24-year-old outfielder has experience at all three outfield spots but has primarily played center field in the minors.
