Santander (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Santander will serve as the designated hitter initially before playing defense, as the Blue Jays plan to have the veteran mainly be an outfielder with the big-league club. In two seasons with Toronto, Santander has appeared in just 54 games, including zero this season. He slashed a miserable .175/.271/.294 in 2025 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 25:61 BB:K across 221 trips to the plate. Any production the team gets from the soon-to-be 32-year-old should be viewed as a bonus.

The Yankees activated Judge (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Judge looks set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Rockies, marking the 34-year-old's first game action since May 31. He landed on the injured list five days later after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in a rib on his right side. Judge faced live pitching Monday at Yankee Stadium, and with the workout going well, New York has elected to reinstate him without sending him out on a rehab assignment beforehand. Prior to hitting the shelf, Judge slashed .248/.375/.533 with 17 home runs, five stolen bases, 38 RBI and 43 runs scored across 261 plate appearances.

Jansen worked around a walk to pitch a clean ninth inning and secure the save in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Jansen needed 11 pitches to sit the Twins down and secure his 18th save of the season. The veteran reliever has now rattled off six straight appearances without allowing an earned run, lowering his ERA to 3.63. Jansen is far from the dominant option he was earlier in his career, and he's liable for a rough outing here and there due to diminished stuff, though he's in no real danger of getting replaced as the closer in Detroit.

McGonigle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

McGonigle hit his 15th home run of the season and first since Aug. 23 to help lead the Tigers to a win. Since that Aug. 23 long ball, the 22-year-old infielder is batting just .157, a sign that he's maybe starting to hit a wall in what's been a very productive debut campaign overall. Even with the recent slump, McGonigle remains the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year honors, and his future as a fantasy asset appears to be bright.

Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Greene connected for his 19th home run of the season in the fifth inning to help extend Detroit's lead to 5-2. The talented outfielder is heating up, as he's gone 9-for-13 over his last three games with three long balls and eight RBI. Greene isn't going to match last year's 36 homers or 111 RBI, but he remains a productive fantasy asset whenever he's in the lineup for the Tigers.

Clarke is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Clarke started the first two games upon his activation from the injured list last week, but since then he's been in the lineup only once in the Athletics' last five contests. Henry Bolte is in center field Monday, and it seems Clarke is slated for a secondary role down the stretch.

The Rangers optioned Peoples to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

He's being sent back down to accommodate the return of Robert Garcia (shoulder) from the injured list. Peoples has managed a 2.76 ERA in 16 appearances for the Rangers, but a 10:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings is not inspiring.

The Rangers activated Garcia (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Garcia has been sidelined since April with left rotator cuff inflammation, but he's been reinstated after making just one scoreless rehab appearance. The lefty reliever could be eased back into high-leverage situations for the Rangers.

Mayo went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.

Mayo crushed a solo shot in the third inning and walloped a two-run homer in the sixth to attain his first career multi-homer game. He should continue to see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching, having posted a ridiculous 1.136 OPS in 133 at-bats against southpaws this season. On the year, Mayo is hitting .224 with 21 long balls, 14 doubles, 58 RBI and three steals over 352 at-bats.

Walker recorded the final out to earn the save in Monday's win over Cleveland.

Nathaniel Lowe took Andrew Kittredge yard for a three-run jack earlier in the ninth inning, but Walker extinguished the fire to preserve the win for Baltimore. It was the first save of the season for Walker, who has a 2.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB with three holds over 22.1 innings. The southpaw doesn't figure to see many more save opportunities down the stretch.
