Brailer Guerrero RF | TB
Rays' Brailer Guerrero: Returns to action for Single-A club
Guerrero (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs in three games since being reinstated from Single-A Charleston's 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Guerrero hadn't played for Charleston in more than two months before being activated from the IL after making one rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 19-year-old outfielder remains one of the Rays' more talented lower-level prospects, but durability issues have caused his stock to take a tumble since he debuted in North America in 2024.

Yankees' Brennen Davis: Back in action at Triple-A
Davis (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-14 with two home runs and three RBI in four games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Davis had been sidelined for approximately two months due to the undisclosed injury before making his return to the Triple-A lineup. Once a top prospect in the Cubs system who saw his rise to the big leagues get derailed by injuries, the 25-year-old Davis has revived his stock with a strong showing in the Yankees organization this season. Through 27 games between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset, Davis has hit .293 with 11 home runs and two stolen bases.

Aaron Judge RF | NYY
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Clears hurdle in throwing program
Judge threw from the outfield to the bases and a cut-off man prior to Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Judge confirmed following the pregame workout that he "checked a box" in his throwing progression by tossing a baseball to the bases for the first time since he was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow July 26. Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone said that Judge looked good during the throwing session, but the Yankees aren't putting a timeline on when the two-time AL MVP might be ready to play the outfield in a game. Judge will remain in the lineup as the Yankees' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Angels' Matthew Lugo: Back in majors
The Angels recalled Lugo from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
The 24-year-old will take the roster spot of Nolan Schanuel (wrist), who was placed on the injured list Sunday. Lugo received his first taste of the majors earlier this season and had an .804 OPS in 17 games. He'll likely serve as the Angels' fourth outfielder behind Taylor Ward, Jo Adell and Bryce Teodosio.

Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Absence continuing Sunday
Canzone (arm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Canzone was hit by a pitch on the left arm Monday and has yet to rejoin Seattle's lineup despite having X-rays come back negative. According to MLB.com, the outfielder was able to take swings Friday and has apparently been available off the bench versus the Athletics, though he has yet to see the field.

J.J. Bleday LF | CIN
Athletics' JJ Bleday: Playing time trending down
Bleday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
The left-handed-hitting Bleday is on the bench for the third time in four matchups with right-handed pitchers and looks to have lost hold of a strong-side platoon role in the Athletics outfield. Until Denzel Clarke (adductor) returns from the injured list, the Athletics may continue to take a committee approach to right field rather than relying on Bleday or another player on an everyday basis.

Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Taking seat Sunday
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Baldwin has handled a near-everyday role for much of August, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in three games while the White Sox welcome Mike Tauchman (lower body) back to the lineup following a one-game absence. Over 17 games on the month, Baldwin is slashing .314/.375/.529 with three home runs, one steal, three RBI and six runs. Look for the White Sox to continue to find ways to keep the versatile 25-year-old's bat in the lineup over the final month of the season.

Matt Wallner RF | MIN
Twins' Matt Wallner: Hitting bench Sunday
Wallner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Wallner doesn't yet appear to be in danger of losing a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in four games while Kody Clemens handles right field. Since returning to action Aug. 12 after a stint on the paternity list, Wallner has gone 4-for-28 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate in nine games.

James Outman CF | DET
Twins' James Outman: Sitting after four straight starts
Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
After starting four straight games and going 3-for-13 with two doubles, two runs, one RBI and a 1:7 BB:K, Outman will head to the bench. Austin Martin will replace Outman in left field and bat ninth.

John Rave RF | KC
Royals' John Rave: Losing out on playing time
Rave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Rave will hit the bench for a second straight game. His playing time will get squeezed further when Jac Caglianone (hamstring) returns from the injured list, likely during the upcoming week. Rave has gone hitless over his last four games and is batting just .199 over 156 plate appearances on the season.
