Frelick is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Pirates.

After starting four straight games versus righties, Frelick will sit out for the second time in a row against a right-hander Tuesday. Luis Lara will get the call again in right field for the Brewers.

Montgomery is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

He's now been absent from the lineup for two of the past three games, and his last two starts have come from the No. 9 spot in the lineup. Montgomery is just 4-for-34 (.118) at the plate in September. Tristan Peters will slide over to right field, and Brenton Doyle will start in center field Tuesday against Cleveland southpaw Foster Griffin.

The Rays recalled Melton from Triple-A Durham and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday due to a right hamstring strain.

The 26-year-old missed most of August due to a right hamstring strain and appears to have aggravated the injury, which will bring an early end to his 2026 campaign. Melton was acquired from the Astros last winter and was limited to 45 games during his first year in the Rays organization. However, he was productive for Triple-A Durham when available, finishing with a .253/.346/.475 slash line, seven homers and 26 stolen bases.

The Rays activated Fraley (hernia) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Fraley is finally ready to return after completing his rehab from May hernia surgery. Victor Mesa has emerged as the Rays' primary right fielder, leaving the 31-year-old Fraley without a clear path to regular playing time.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a walk and a stolen base against the Reds in a 4-1 victory Monday.

Hernandez gave Dodgers starter Tarik Skubal all the breathing room he needed with a two-run blast in the fourth inning to make the score 3-0. The veteran outfielder has had a great September so far, slashing .405/.500/.667 with two long balls, six runs, 14 RBI and three thefts through 12 contests. That's pushed Hernandez's OPS up to .757, which is on pace for his second-highest regular-season mark over the past four years.

Tucker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run, a stolen base and two walks Monday in a 4-1 win against Cincinnati.

Tucker plated the first run of the game with a solo blast to right field in the second inning. The long ball was his third over his past five games, a span in which the veteran outfielder is batting .389 (7-for-18) with seven RBI, seven runs, one stolen base and a 3:3 BB:K. It's almost certainly too late for Tucker to entirely rescue what has been a rough first season in Los Angeles, as his .702 OPS is far below his .841 mark last year and over 100 points less than his previous career-low mark over a full season. Still, fantasy managers who are still alive in head-to-head playoffs with Tucker on their roster are at least reaping some benefits at the most important time of the year.

McCray went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

McCray logged San Francisco's only extra-base hit with a leadoff double in the sixth inning, and he came around to score the team's lone run later that inning. The 25-year-old has recorded at least one hit in three of his last five games and is batting .235 with four runs scored, a home run and a stolen base in 19 plate appearances this month. Overall, he's slashing .147/.256/.294 with 12 runs scored, five stolen bases, three RBI and two long balls across 81 plate appearances this season.

Schneemann went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance during Monday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Schneemann entered the game after Angel Martinez was pulled in the seventh inning with a side injury. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said the decision to pull Martinez was precautionary. Schneemann has not yet started a game since his return to the majors Sept. 1 and is 1-for-6 with an RBI and three strikeouts in fill-in work.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in an 8-3 victory against Minnesota.

Judge was hitless with two strikeouts through three plate appearances, but he rescued his stat line in a big way by clobbering a 415-foot, three-run homer to left field in the eighth inning. It was his first long ball in his sixth game since returning Sept. 8 from a three-plus-month stay on the injured list. Judge is slated to get a day off Wednesday, but he should still have ample time to shake off any residual rust ahead of the postseason after the Yankees clinched a playoff berth with Monday's victory.

Marsee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Marsee put together a strong performance at the dish, clubbing a solo homer in the fourth inning as part of a three-hit effort. The young center fielder has been locked in offensively this month, slashing .370/.453/.587 with two homers, six RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base across 13 September contests. On the year, he's hitting .226/.342/.350 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 76 runs and 22 stolen bases in 145 games.
