Tauchman went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Monday against the Twins.

Tauchman singled in a run in the fifth inning and then drove in a second run in the eighth frame on a double. He has multiple hits in five of his last 10 starts, also recording four RBI and five runs scored. Tauchman remains the White Sox's primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching and has an impressive .776 OPS across 337 plate appearances for the season.

Smith went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Monday against the Angels.

Smith performed poorly in August, hitting only .147 across 22 games and 68 at-bats. His performance Monday marked his first multi-hit game since Aug. 11, a span of 12 starts. Smith has started to lose playing time against right-handed pitching and that will likely continue unless he can get back on track at the plate.

Garcia suffered a quadriceps injury in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Garcia torqued his quad while beating out a potential double play at first base in the top of the ninth inning, ultimately remaining in the contest. The outfielder is set to be evaluated Tuesday, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Langford went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Langford has homered five times and added 10 RBI over his last 15 games, batting .340 (18-for-53) in that span. He tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth inning with his homer Monday. For the season, the outfielder has 21 homers, 58 RBI, 68 runs scored, 18 stolen bases and 22 doubles while slashing .249/.343/.444 over 117 contests.

Soderstrom went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Soderstrom was a big factor in pushing the Athletics' lead into blowout territory Monday. The 23-year-old has spent most of his defensive time in left field this season but started at first base with Nick Kurtz (oblique) still sidelined. Regardless of where he's positioned, Soderstrom's bat has been a constant, as he's hitting .271/.344/.470 with an .814 OPS, 28 doubles, 23 homers and 81 RBI across 138 games this season.

Bleday went 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-3 win over St. Louis.

Bleday delivered his first multi-homer game of the season Monday in a blowout win. The outfielder has bounced between Triple-A Las Vegas and Sacramento this year with uneven results, but the power has creeped up lately as he's slashed .230/.302/.460 with five homers and 11 RBI over his last 30 games.

Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays.

Arozarena secured his first 25-25 campaign with the theft. The outfielder has gone 12-for-39 (.308) across his last nine games, adding seven extra-base hits and seven RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .244/.339/.455 slash line with 26 home runs, 25 steals on 30 attempts, 66 RBI, 82 runs scored, 29 doubles and one triple over 136 contests. Arozarena's recent power gives him a chance to close 2025 with a 30-30 season if he can pick up the pace on the basepaths -- his steal Monday was his first since Aug. 15.

Mangum went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Mangum has hit well lately, going 12-for-23 (.522) over his last six games. Despite the hot bat, he's still confined to a strong-side platoon role for the Rays, primarily sharing center field with Everson Pereira. Mangum is up to 21 steals on 25 attempts this season, and he's added a .291/.324/.364 slash line with two home runs, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored, 16 doubles and one triple through 344 plate appearances.

Perez went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 10-8 loss to the Mets.

Perez launched a two-run home run in the third inning against New York southpaw Sean Manaea, his 12th long ball of the year, then added an RBI ground out in the eighth. The outfielder has already set a new career high in homers, and he needs just two more RBI to match the 37 RBI he tallied during the regular season as a rookie in 2024. Perez is most dangerous against lefties, as he's sporting a .979 OPS in those matchups this year, but he still has a respectable .719 OPS versus righties.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

Cowser had started 14 straight contests upon his return from a concussion Aug. 17, but he'll get a day off for the Orioles' series opener versus the Padres. Dylan Carlson will start in center field and bat sixth Monday.
