Cortes went 2-for-2 with an RBI in Monday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

Cortes picked up a pair of singles, including an RBI knock in the fourth inning, before being subbed out for Denzel Clarke when lefty Brendon Little took the mound in the sixth frame. Since the All-Star break, Cortes has struggled to a .224/.271/.327 slash line with two homers, 16 RBI, seven runs and a stolen base across 36 contests. Overall, the 29-year-old is hitting .262/.329/.397 with eight homers, 39 RBI, 27 runs and two stolen bases in 109 games.

Bolte went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks, three stolen bases and three runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Bolte is batting .346 (9-for-26) with three homers and five steals over seven games in September. The rookie outfielder had appeared to hit a wall in July, but he's gotten back on track and maintained a starting role late in the year. Overall, he's batting .275 with a .753 OPS, nine homers, 19 steals, 32 RBI, 46 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple over 102 contests.

Larnach went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's loss to Detroit.

Larnach was part of a bottom-third of Minnesota's order that produced five of the Twins' eight hits and plated three of the team's four runs. His long ball in the fourth inning cut his club's deficit to one run, but Minnesota was never able to fully catch up. Larnach notched his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 28, and the long ball was his first since Aug. 26. He's starting on a near-everyday basis and is on pace for a career-best OPS with a .774 mark through 118 games.

Santander (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Santander will serve as the designated hitter initially before playing defense, as the Blue Jays plan to have the veteran mainly be an outfielder with the big-league club. In two seasons with Toronto, Santander has appeared in just 54 games, including zero this season. He slashed a miserable .175/.271/.294 in 2025 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 25:61 BB:K across 221 trips to the plate. Any production the team gets from the soon-to-be 32-year-old should be viewed as a bonus.

The Yankees activated Judge (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Judge looks set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Rockies, marking the 34-year-old's first game action since May 31. He landed on the injured list five days later after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in a rib on his right side. Judge faced live pitching Monday at Yankee Stadium, and with the workout going well, New York has elected to reinstate him without sending him out on a rehab assignment beforehand. Prior to hitting the shelf, Judge slashed .248/.375/.533 with 17 home runs, five stolen bases, 38 RBI and 43 runs scored across 261 plate appearances.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Greene connected for his 19th home run of the season in the fifth inning to help extend Detroit's lead to 5-2. The talented outfielder is heating up, as he's gone 9-for-13 over his last three games with three long balls and eight RBI. Greene isn't going to match last year's 36 homers or 111 RBI, but he remains a productive fantasy asset whenever he's in the lineup for the Tigers.

Clarke is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Clarke started the first two games upon his activation from the injured list last week, but since then he's been in the lineup only once in the Athletics' last five contests. Henry Bolte is in center field Monday, and it seems Clarke is slated for a secondary role down the stretch.

Callahan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Callahan will exit the starting nine after he struck out in all four of his at-bats during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians, bringing his slash line down to .231/.279/.385 through his first 43 plate appearances in the big leagues. Now on the bench for the fifth time in seven games, Callahan appears to have faded into a reserve role following Riley Greene's recent return from the injured list.

Malgeri is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Malgeri will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the Tigers' last four games -- three against left-handers, one against a righty -- while going 4-for-14 with a double, two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and one run. The 26-year-old has maintained a respectable .732 OPS over his first 108 plate appearances in the big leagues, but he appears unlikely to break out of his short-side platoon role in the outfield anytime soon.

White will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Angels.

White will draw a fifth straight start in center field and looks set to handle a regular role at the position for as long as Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) remains on the injured list. Since being acquired from Atlanta on Aug. 3, White has produced a .280/.308/.400 slash line with one home run, one stolen base, 11 RBI and 10 runs across 52 plate appearances with Boston.
