Jang (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 6.

It's not clear at this time what forced Jang to the injured list for the last four-plus weeks, but he was cleared to return for one of his club's final games of the 2026 campaign. He was knocked around for two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two across one inning Sept. 6 against High-A Lake County.

Monegro (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Monegro made his Double-A debut Friday after undergoing Tommy John surgery during the summer of 2025. He put together a decent showing against the Rumble Ponies, surrendering one run on three hits and two walks while striking out one over three innings of work.

The Dodgers recalled Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Miller made one appearance for the Dodgers earlier this month, allowing one run over three innings of work. He was knocked around for five runs over 1.2 innings in his last outing at Oklahoma City and will be utilized in low-leverage situations in the Dodgers bullpen.

The Dodgers placed Henriquez on the 15-day injured list Monday with low-back discomfort.

The transaction means Henriquez's regular season is over, though there's a good chance he will be back once the playoffs roll around. Manager Dave Roberts stated the right-hander will be sent for imaging to get a better idea of the severity of the injury, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Henriquez has had a breakout season in the Dodgers' bullpen, accruing a 2.85 ERA and 71:25 K:BB over 60 innings.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Smith-Shawver is moving to the team's bullpen, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Shawver has struggled in his five starts with the big club this season, collecting a 7.71 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB over 21 innings. His stuff could play up in the bullpen, and Atlanta wants to give Smith-Shawver a trial run in a relief role down the stretch to see if he can help in that capacity in the playoffs.

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.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Diaz (neck) "hasn't been good" on his rehab assignment and "needs to pitch better" before the team considers returning him to the active roster, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Diaz gave up five runs on two hits and three walks while recording only two outs in his last rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, and he's allowed six runs with a 4:7 K:BB in 3.1 rehab innings. Diaz has been out since mid-August with neck inflammation, and while his health no longer is a concern, the Dodgers need to see the reliever pitching better before activating him. If/when Diaz does return, he will likely be used in low-leverage spots, at least initially.

Keith was scratched from Monday's lineup against Toronto due to left thumb soreness.

The injury may have flared up during the Tigers' weekend series against the Rockies, and Hao-Yu Lee will now start at third base Monday. Keith will undergo more tests so that the medical staff can determine a recovery timeline, but the 25-year-old infielder can be considered day-to-day for now.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sasaki (finger) threw a bullpen session Monday and is under consideration to return from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday's game in Cincinnati, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Sasaki wore Dermabond on his right middle finger to protect against a recurrence of the blister that sent him to the IL on Aug. 27. While Sasaki seemed to come out of his bullpen session OK, Roberts wasn't ready to lock him into Thursday's start yet. Sasaki threw a simulated game last week but would likely have workload restrictions if he's cleared to start Thursday.

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.
