Bliss (biceps) is starting a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Bliss has been ahead of schedule and is expected to make his return to the majors in mid-September. He will likely need 40-to-50 at-bats during his rehab assignment before he's activated to return to Seattle.

The Rangers are expected to select Moore's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

The Rangers are going to be without Corey Seager (appendectomy) for an extended period of time, so the team will turn to Moore to provide additional infield depth. Although he owns just a .622 OPS through 213 plate appearances from his time with the Mariners this year, Moore could be in line for regular playing time with the Rangers, and his extreme defensive versatility will only help his chances of sticking in the lineup.

The Guardians reinstated Schneemann from the paternity list Thursday.

After missing the entirety of Cleveland's last series against Tampa Bay while spending time with his growing family, Schneemann will return in time for the beginning of a stretch that sees the Guardians play 16 games in 16 days. He'll reclaim his role as the team's third baseman against right-handed starters and take the roster spot of Carlos Santana, who was released in a corresponding move.

Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 20-3 loss to the Rangers.

Moore provided one of the few bright spots for the Angels in the embarrassing loss when he stroked a solo homer to center field in the fifth inning. The rookie has started at second base in three of Los Angeles' past four games after starting just once in three games before that. It's worth noting, however, that both of the Angels' past two games have been against lefty starters, while Moore has began on the bench in three of the team's most recent five matchups with a right-handed starter. He may continue to be in and out of the lineup against righties given his rough .192/.304/.269 slash line against same-handed pitching this year.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Hamilton had started in each of the Red Sox's last three games and went 4-for-10 with a home run, a double and three RBI, but the left-handed-hitting infielder will hit the bench Thursday while southpaw Cade Povich takes the hill for Baltimore. Ceddanne Rafaela will get the nod at second base in the series finale, but Hamilton could continue to see the bulk of the starts at the keystone against right-handed pitching until Wilyer Abreu's (calf) eventual return from the injured list pushes Rafaela to the infield on a more frequent basis.

Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two total RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Twins.

Gimenez has gone 4-for-10 with a pair of homers in his last three games after going just 6-for-32 (.188) in his previous 12 contests, following a month-long stint on the IL. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .221/.305/.336 with seven homers, 34 runs scored, 27 RBI and 12 steals through his first 286 plate appearances with Toronto.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four total RBI In a 7-0 victory versus the Tigers on Wednesday.

Gelof crushed a two-run homer in the second inning and added a two-run double in the eighth. Those were his first hits since he returned to the majors Aug. 25 following a lengthy stint with Triple-A Las Vegas. Gelof has started at second base in each of the A's three games since his promotion and now appears to be the primary option there, while Darell Hernaiz has been moving around between third base and shortstop.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Hoerner gave Chicago a 3-1 lead with his three-run blast in the second inning, but the Giants responded with the game's next 11 runs. The long ball was Hoerner's first since July 29, though he did bat a decent .264 with an 8:6 BB:K and four steals during the 24-game homer drought. Hoerner has never been much of a power hitter, so it's not entirely surprising that he's hit just five home runs through 128 games this season. He's found other ways to contribute with a .290 batting average, 64 runs, 53 RBI and 23 stolen bases.

McLain will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

McLain looked to have faded into a part-time role around the middle of the August following a prolonged rough patch at the plate, and though he has yet to get dialed back in, the Reds are giving him the chance to hit his way out of the slump. He'll stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, though he'll need to heat up before he moves out of a bottom-third spot.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It's just a standard day off for Altuve, who started the previous 30 games and had a .250/.320/.405 slash line with three doubles, five homers, 11 RBI and 16 runs during that span. Mauricio Dubon will man the keystone Wednesday for the Astros.
