  • Michael Toglia 1B | CIN

    Reds' Michael Toglia: Undergoing shoulder surgery

    Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Toglia will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Toglia dislocated his shoulder while making a diving catch during Friday's win over the Diamondbacks, and after further tests and consultations, surgery has been determined to be the best option for the 28-year-old. He wound up playing just 10 games at the big-league level this season, going 3-for-26 (.116 average) with two doubles, two walks and an RBI. Toglia is a likely non-tender candidate this offseason.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Cleared to play Monday

    Stott (foot) is starting at third base and batting sixth against the Mariners on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Stott was removed during the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a right foot contusion. X-rays following the contest came back negative, and the 28-year-old third baseman has been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Stott is in the midst of a mini-slump at the plate, having gone 0-for-12 with a walk and a run scored over his last four outings.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Returning Monday

    Bohm (hamstring) is starting at first base and batting fifth against Seattle on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Bohm was held out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to hamstring/groin tightness, but he's been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Bohm has been on a heater at the plate recently with six multi-hit games over his last nine outings, going 18-for-38 (.474) with 12 RBI, seven extra-base hits and 10 runs scored in that span.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Luis Arraez: Back in lineup Monday

    Arraez (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mariners on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Arraez was not in the lineup for the Phillies' series finale against the Cardinals on Sunday due to hamstring cramps, though he did enter the game in the eighth inning. Through 20 games in August, he has a .291 batting average (23-for-79) with two home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored.

  • Jordan Lawlar CF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Sitting again versus righty

    Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

    Lawlar has started all five games versus left-handers since he returned from the injured list one week ago, but he has been out of the lineup both times the Diamondbacks have gone up against a righty. It's unlikely Lawlar will remain stuck in a short-side platoon indefinitely, but for the time being his playing time could remain unreliable.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Set for season-ending wrist surgery

    Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that Emerson will undergo season-ending left wrist surgery Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    The exact nature of the procedure isn't clear, but Emerson is expected to be 100 percent recovered in time for spring training. The rookie infielder finishes his season having slashed .190/.246/.335 with eight home runs, three stolen bases and a 15:83 BB:K over 69 games. Despite the lackluster first stint in the big leagues, Emerson is the odds-on favorite to open the 2027 campaign as the Mariners' starting shortstop.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Minimum-length IL stint expected

    Marte (knee) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Diamondbacks' series opener against the Phillies on Aug. 31, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Marte is increasing his baseball activities this week while recovering from left knee inflammation, which forced him to the IL last Thursday. The injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and the expectation is that the veteran second baseman will be available for the final month of the regular season. Ildemaro Vargas has been serving as the Diamondbacks' primary option at the keystone in Marte's absence over the past week.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Confident he'll start Wednesday

    Woo (shoulder) said Monday that he's "100 percent confident" he will make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies at T-Mobile Park, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Woo last pitched Aug. 16 against the Astros, with a sore right shoulder causing him to miss his most recent turn through the rotation this past weekend. He felt optimistic about his shoulder after throwing a bullpen session Sunday, and barring any setbacks, the right-hander looks set to re-enter the rotation for Wednesday's series finale. Over 24 starts this season, Woo has gone 9-8 with a 4.10 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 137:29 K:BB across 138.1 innings.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Could be activated Tuesday

    Crawford (wrist) has rejoined the Mariners in Seattle and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Crawford has been out for all of August due to left wrist inflammation, but he's nearly ready to roll after going 4-for-11 with one home run in three rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. With Colt Emerson (wrist) and Brendan Donovan (concussion) shelved, Crawford should see plenty of playing time on the left side of the Mariners' infield, once he's activated.

  • Reds' Hector Rodriguez: Sitting Monday

    Rodriguez is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

    Rodriguez has gone 4-for-10 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored over his last three outings, but he'll be on the bench for Monday's series opener. Ivan Johnson, Dane Myers and JJ Bleday will man the Reds' outfield from left to right.
