Jakob Marsee CF | MIA
Marlins' Jakob Marsee: On base four times in win
Marsee went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Mets.
The rookie put the finishing touches on a dynamite August that saw him slash .352/.430/.629 over 24 games with four homers, nine steals, 18 runs and 25 RBI. Marsee won't keep up that incredible pace, but after a Triple-A breakout that began back in June, the 24-year-old looks like he might be the long-term solution for the Marlins in center field.

Luis Garcia SP | NYY
Astros' Luis Garcia: Activated ahead of Monday's start
The Astros reinstated Garcia (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Monday against the Angels in Houston.
Garcia, who underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2023 and required a longer than usual recovery, is coming off his best rehab start, as he went six innings and allowed one earned run with five strikeouts for Triple-A Sugar Land this past Tuesday. He's tentatively set up for a two-start week in his return to the big leagues, with a matchup in Texas on tap for Sunday.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Athletics' Luis Severino: Returns from injured list
The Athletics activated Severino (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Severino is set to rejoin the rotation Tuesday with a start in St. Louis after missing more than three weeks with an oblique strain. The veteran right-hander didn't make a rehab start, instead throwing a simulated game last week. It's unclear how many pitches Severino threw in that sim game, but he'll likely be under a workload restriction against the Cardinals.

Paul DeJong SS | DET
Nationals' Paul DeJong: Sitting after three straight starts
DeJong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
DeJong will hit the bench after he had started in each of the last three games while going 2-for-11 with seven strikeouts. Though DeJong should be a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching throughout September, his playing time versus righties may be more sporadic so long as the Nationals stay committed to giving third baseman Brady House regular starts.

Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL
White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Moves up from Triple-A
The White Sox recalled Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
The 23-year-old third baseman got his first taste of the big leagues last season, appearing in 32 games with Chicago and slashing .202/.252/.333 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 7:22 BB:K across 108 plate appearances. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, producing a .218/.317/.391 slash line with 14 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 392 trips to the plate. Ramos is unlikely to be in line for regular playing time with the White Sox in September, at least not right away.

Dylan Crews RF | WAS
Nationals' Dylan Crews: Exiting starting nine Monday
Crews is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, Crews had started in each of the Nationals' ensuing 16 games and slashed .218/.317/.309 with no home runs and three stolen bases. Crews had mustered just four hits in 24 at-bats over his last seven starts, so he'll get a chance to clear his head in the series opener with Miami. With Crews on the bench, Daylen Lile will pick up a start in right field.

Riley Adams C | WAS
Nationals' Riley Adams: Receiving Labor Day off
Adams is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
The Nationals are kicking off a three-game set versus Miami with a day game, so Adams will receive a breather after he caught all nine innings of the team's 7-4 loss to the Rays on Sunday afternoon. C.J. Stubbs will draw the start behind the plate in the series opener.

Fraser Ellard RP | CHW
White Sox's Fraser Ellard: Called up, opening Monday's game
The White Sox recalled Ellard from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Per Jack Ankony of SI.com, Ellard will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's contest in Minnesota, likely covering an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Ellard was part of the late-inning mix for the White Sox last season but has collected a 5.87 ERA and 11:6 K:BB over 7.2 innings at the big-league level in 2025 and also holds a 6.48 ERA with Charlotte. Even with the continued uncertainty in Chicago's bullpen, Ellard will likely be kept away from high-leverage situations.

Spencer Steer 1B | CIN
Reds' Spencer Steer: Battling through leg issue
Reds manager Terry Francona said that Steer is not in Monday's lineup versus the Blue Jays in part due to a nagging leg injury that's bothered the player for two months, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
The injury doesn't sound like anything that will keep Steer out more than a day or two, but the call-up of top prospect Sal Stewart -- who is making his major-league debut Monday at first base -- allows Steer to get off his feet for a day. Consider Steer day-to-day.

Liam Hicks C | TB
Marlins' Liam Hicks: Taking seat against southpaw
Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
The Nationals are sending lefty Andrew Alvarez to the hill for the series opener, so Hicks will head to the bench along with another lefty-hitting lineup regular in Troy Johnston. Hicks closed August with a .267/.359/.344 slash line, one home run, eight RBI and 14 runs over 28 games.
