McCray went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 7-2 win over Arizona in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

McCray didn't play in the matinee but hit a leadoff single in the fifth inning of the nightcap before coming around to score, giving the Giants a 2-1 lead. The 25-year-old outfielder has recorded a hit in three of his last four games, batting .214 with a triple and a double in 15 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .118/.237/.235 with eight runs scored, four stolen bases, two RBI and a home run across 62 plate appearances this season.

The Padres activated Taylor (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Taylor will make his first appearance in the majors since going down with a right oblique strain July 8. In 102 major-league plate appearances this year, the 27-year-old is batting .330/.410/.398 with one homer, 11 RBI and six stolen bases. San Diego transferred Luis Rengifo (knee) to the injured list, making room for Taylor on the active roster.

The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Gonzalez will get his second stint with the big-league club in 2026 after appearing in one game against Boston in late May. With St. Paul, the 22-year-old has a slash line of .254/.318/.423 with 15 homers and 51 RBI over 444 plate appearances this season. The Twins sent Byron Buxton (hip) to the injured list in a corresponding move.

Foley picked up a hold in a 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning.

Foley entered in the seventh inning, surrendering three singles and a run across the first four batters he faced. The right-hander threw eight of his 14 pitches for strikes before being pulled. The 30-year-old owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 14 innings in 14 outings on the year. He earned his first hold of the season Saturday.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

The veteran outfielder started the previous 13 games against right-handed pitching but will hit the bench Sunday against Colorado righty Mason Adams. Yastrzemski has slumped hard since Aug. 14, as he's batting .156 (5-for-32) with no extra-base hits and 10 strikeouts.

Gonzales is absent from Pittsburgh's lineup against St. Louis on Sunday.

Despite reaching base three times Saturday against the Cardinals, the Pirates are moving Gonzales to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Nick Yorke will take over at the hot corner and bat ninth.

McMahon (thumb) is likely to be activated from the injured list Tuesday, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network.

McMahon expects to return to the big-league club just 11 days after being sidelined by a thumb sprain. The 31-year-old is slashing .216/.282/.367 with 10 home runs and 32 RBI over 306 plate appearances this season. With rosters expanding Sept. 1, McMahon should be able to rejoin the big-league club with no corresponding move.

Conteras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

It's likely just a maintenance day for Contreras, who batted a blistering .455 (15-for-33) with three doubles, a homer, seven RBI and five runs while starting the previous eight contests. Gary Sanchez is working behind the plate and batting sixth in the series finale versus Texas.

The Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

After appearing in both games during Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, the Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A. Since being called up Aug. 4, the 28-year-old yielded just two earned runs over 11.1 innings out of the bullpen for New York. The Yankees promoted Luis Gil from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace De Los Santos on the active roster.

The Yankees promoted Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Gil hasn't made an appearance in the majors since late April. The 28-year-old has mainly been working out of the bullpen at Triple-A and should take on the same role with the Yankees. In four outings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since returning from a shoulder issue, the right-hander owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over nine innings. New York optioned Yerry De Los Santos to make room for Gil on the active roster.
