Baz (elbow) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

The right-hander was removed from his previous start Tuesday versus the Mets after being struck in the elbow by a comebacker, but he's ready to make his next turn through the rotation. Baz has surrendered eight runs on 13 hits with a 7:3 K:BB in his past two starts, which has inflated his season-long numbers to a 4.11 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 30 starts.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Grisham (hamstring) isn't expected to come off the injured list before the end of the regular season but could return for the playoffs, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The veteran outfielder landed on the shelf in early September due to a hamstring strain, and it appears he won't be rejoining the active roster during the final week of the regular season. Grisham has a .703 OPS in 483 plate appearances this year and a .170/.261/.352 slash line in 45 games since the All-Star break, so he may not reclaim a starting role even if he's added to the postseason roster.

Guerrero was removed from Sunday's game against the Rangers due to lower-back tightness, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

The veteran slugger went 1-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the bottom of the fourth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but any absence for Guerrero would be significant for Toronto with just one week left in the regular season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Chisholm (thumb) could be reinstated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The second baseman landed on the shelf after sustaining a thumb sprain Sept. 8 versus Colorado, and it appears he'll be able to rejoin the Yankees after missing a little more than the 10-day minimum. Chisholm had a hot start to September prior to the injury, going 6-for-18 with a homer, two walks and three runs through five games.

Jones (foot) is starting in center field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The 25-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday due to some soreness in his left foot, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine after missing just one start. Jones has gone 1-for-19 across his past four games but overall has been productive in September with a .788 OPS in 57 at-bats this month.

Montero is scheduled to pitch Monday against the Nationals, piggybacking with starter River Ryan, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Montero has lasted exactly four frames in each of his past three starts, surrendering 10 runs on 16 hits with a 10:5 K:BB. The right-hander will be bumped from the rotation, but he could still have a sizable workload Monday since Ryan is likely to have a limited workload in his Tigers debut.

The Rangers recalled Santos from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander had two brief stints with Texas earlier this season and allowed two earned runs in two innings during his lone appearance. Santos is filling the roster spot vacated by Cal Quantrill (lat), who was placed on the injured list.

Texas scratched Nimmo from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to an illness.

Nimmo will now have two days to recover from the ailment thanks to Monday's team off day. Alejandro Osuna will replace Nimmo in right field and bat fifth.

The Rangers placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Quantrill exited Saturday's start against the Blue Jays after 1.1 scoreless frames due to lat tightness, and the injury will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. It brings an early end to a resurgent campaign for the right-hander, who posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings. The Rangers currently have a one-game advantage in the AL West, though it's unclear if Quantrill will be ready to return during a potential playoff run.

The Tigers will call up Ryan from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday's game against the Nationals, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander made four appearances for the Dodgers in 2024 and is now set to make his Tigers debut after being acquired at the trade deadline this summer. Ryan was sidelined nearly three months by a hamstring injury but was recently given a clean bill of health and made two starts for Toledo. The 28-year-old topped out at 2.2 frames in those outings and should have a limited workload again Monday, with Keider Montero expected to piggyback him.
