Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Ramos has gone 2-for-7 with a walk over two games since he returned from a quadriceps strain. He played Monday's full game in right field, and that's expected to be his spot in the field for the foreseeable future. The outfielder is batting .267 with a .746 OPS, five homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 46 contests this season.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Twins on Monday.

Smith accounted for Houston's only run off Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews with a solo blast to left field in the fifth inning. With the Astros down to their last out in the ninth, Smith struck again, clubbing a solo shot off closer Yoendrys Gomez to bring his team within a run. Smith missed Sunday's game against Detroit due to a sore foot, but he looked none the worse for wear upon his return to the lineup. Of the outfielder's past six hits, four have left the park, bringing him up to 11 homers through 85 contests on the campaign. That's a big improvement over the nine long balls he swatted across 134 regular-season contests during his rookie 2025 season.

Wood went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to Boston.

Wood's first swing of the day was a memorable one, as he launched a 2-0 sinker from Ranger Suarez well over the right-field wall for a leadoff homer. The 441-foot blast snapped a 13-game homer drought, marking the big outfielder's first long ball since June 15. The star 23-year-old has been as good as advertised in 2026, slashing .258/.383/.509 with 21 homers, 20 doubles, 50 RBI, 73 runs and 13 stolen bases across 86 games.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

Crow-Armstrong seems to be seeing the ball well lately as he puts the finishing touches on an excellent month of baseball. In June, the star outfielder is batting .376 across 25 games, and he's contributed eight stolen bases, 10 home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong has emerged as the catalyst of Chicago's offensive attack over the past two seasons, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Buxton is being considered day-to-day due to a right hip impingement, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

It initially look as though Buxton was set to receive a scheduled night off Monday, but skipper Derek Shelton stated after the game that the star center fielder was sent for an MRI, which showed a right hip issue. This appears to be a minor injury for Buxton, who will likely be re-evaluated Tuesday to determine his status for the second game of the series.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

Suzuki provided a sac-fly RBI in the fifth inning before really delivering in the bottom of the ninth with a long walkoff, two-out single against star San Diego reliever Mason Miller. The winning hit reached the Wrigley Field wall and was almost snagged by a leaping Jase Bowen in left. Suzuki is now riding a four-game hitting streak, and he's batting .317 over his last 10 contests with two home runs and 11 RBI.

Marsh went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Monday's 11-7 loss to Pirates.

It was Marsh's fourth career multi-homer game and his second of the season. The 28-year-old outfielder has gone deep five times in his past eight games as well. Making a strong case for his first career All-Star selection, Marsh is batting a torrid .322 with 14 long balls, 15 doubles, 44 RBI and eight stolen bases over 295 at-bats.

Myers (shoulder) was sent to the hospital for further evaluation after he was carted off the field in the fourth inning of Monday's game against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI prior to departing the contest.

Myers' left shoulder absorbed the brunt of a collision with a fence while making a spectacular catch in center field. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona noted after the game that Myers was in a significant amount of pain, so the team sent him to the hospital to get checked out. Francona added that initial X-rays on Myers returned negative, but the outfielder is expected to undergo further testing. The club should have an update on Myers' status Tuesday, but even if he avoided a major injury, he seems likely to require a stint on the injured list.

Nimmo was diagnosed Monday with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and could require a stint on the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Nimmo suffered the shoulder injury during a 3-2 win over Toronto on Sunday, when he collided with the outfield wall while securing the game's final out. The Rangers held Nimmo out of the lineup for Monday's series opener in Cleveland while he awaited the results of his medical tests, which revealed the shoulder sprain. Manager Skip Schumaker said that while a trip to the IL is a possibility for Nimmo, the team won't make a final decision until sending him in for more imaging Tuesday.

Thomas will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.

The right-handed-hitting Thomas will stick in the lineup for a third straight game while the Athletics face another lefty starter (Eric Lauer), but the 25-year-old could begin to get more looks versus right-handed pitching, too. The Athletics deactivated Tyler Soderstrom (hip) and Jacob Wilson (thumb) on Monday, with the two joining Brent Rooker (knee) and Zack Gelof (hand) on a growing injured list. Thomas could end up serving as the primary replacement in left field for Soderstrom, though the Athletics might prefer to give Carlos Cortes another look in a strong-side platoon run.
