Garcia (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Garcia made three rehab appearances at High-A Greensboro in early September, and he's since been given the green light to return to action at Triple-A Indianapolis. He's gone 4-for-14 with a home run and three runs in four games since his return from the IL.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that he tentatively plans to give Judge a day off for Wednesday's series finale in Minnesota, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

The Yankees have eased Judge back into full-time duty since he returned from a three-plus month absence, giving him one day off and pulling him early from two games last week. Boone plans to give the slugger one more day off Wednesday, and after that Judge is expected to be full-go. Judge is 3-for-17 with a 1:9 BB:K in five contests since returning from his rib injury.

Taylor is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Monday.

Taylor will be on the bench for Monday's contest while Dustin Harris starts in left field and bats fifth. Taylor has gone 5-for-14 with two steals and three runs scored over his last four games and has a .775 OPS with nine steals, 11 RBI and five extra-base hits across 137 plate appearances this season.

Waldschmidt is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

It's the second straight day that Waldschmidt has been absent from the Diamondbacks' lineup with a righty on the mound for the opposiiton. Lars Nootbaar is in left field and Jordan Lawlar is in center field for Arizona.

Larnach is dealing with left wrist soreness and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

It's unclear when the injury flared up for Larnach, who has gone 6-for-13 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored over his last three outings. The MRI will provide the Twins' medical staff with more information to determine a recovery timeline for the 29-year-old outfielder, though a stint on the IL would likely mean the end to Larnach's 2026 regular season. The Twins are starting Emmanuel Rodriguez, Walker Jenkins and Luke Keaschall from left to right in Monday's series opener against the Yankees and right-hander Will Warren.

The Diamondbacks claimed Sanchez off waivers from the Blue Jays on Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The Diamondbacks will take on the $6.8 million remaining of Sanchez's 2026 salary, and they'll retain his rights for 2027 as well, though he is a likely non-tender candidate. Sanchez has slashed .260/.318/.416 with eight home runs over 99 contests this season and will provide manager Torey Lovullo with another option in left field and at designated hitter.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.

The left-handed-swinging Lee typically starts against most southpaws, but he will begin Monday's game on the bench as the Cardinals send lefty Quinn Mathews to the hill. Scott Bandura will play right field for the Giants.

Torres is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Torres had made nine straight starts against right-handed pitching, but he'll exit the lineup as the Giants send righty Landen Roupp to the bump. Thomas Saggese will handle second base and bat leadoff for St. Louis.

The Blue Jays placed Martin on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained left hamstring, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Martin was just called up to Toronto for his big-league debut this past weekend after spending the last decade-plus in the minors. Across three plate appearances, Martin went hitless with a walk and one strikeout. Davis Schneider has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays recalled Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Schneider is back with the big club after spending the past three-plus weeks in Triple-A. He's slashed an ugly .142/.295/.274 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, one stolen base and a 25:47 BB:K across 140 plate appearances at the big-league level this season.
