Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Out of lineup with wrist soreness
Naylor is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees due to right wrist soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Naylor tweaked it on a swing during the Mariners' previous homestand and will get the night off Tuesday versus Yankees lefty Ryan Weathers. Weston Wilson is starting at first base and batting eighth for Seattle. Since the All-Star break, Naylor is slashing .312/.376/.455 with five doubles, two homers, six RBI, nine runs scored, five stolen bases and a 7:10 BB:K across 85 plate appearances.

Charles McAdoo 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Homers in return
McAdoo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.
In his first major-league game since June 19, McAdoo broke a scoreless tie with a solo blast off Sonny Gray in the fifth inning. He also drew a walk in the sixth and was lifted for Ernie Clement as a defensive replacement in the eighth. The 24-year-old has gone just 5-for-27 with two homers in nine games with the Blue Jays but posted a solid .832 OPS with 16 homers and 12 steals across 385 plate appearances with Triple-A Buffalo this season.

Vinnie Pasquantino 1B | KC
Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Heading out on rehab stint
Pasquantino (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Pasquantino, who landed on the 10-day injured list July 29 due to wrist soreness, should only need a handful of at-bats at Triple-A before being activated from the shelf. If all goes according to plan, it seems likely that he'll be back with the big-league club before the end of the week.

Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Returns to majors
The Blue Jays recalled McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. He'll start at third base and bat seventh in the Blue Jays' series opener versus the Red Sox.
Toronto optioned Davis Schneider to Triple-A to open up a spot on the active roster for McAdoo. Like Schneider before him, McAdoo protects to serve as a utility player and will likely see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching. McAdoo was previously up with the Blue Jays for about three weeks earlier this season, appearing in eight games while going 4-for-25 with one home run, three RBI and two runs.

Kody Clemens 1B | MIN
Twins' Kody Clemens: Idle against southpaw Monday
Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Left-hander Trevor Rogers is on the hill for the Orioles in the series opener, so the Twins will send Clemens and fellow left-handed hitters Trevor Larnach and Alan Roden to the bench to stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Clemens owns a 76 wRC+ against left-handed pitching over parts of five seasons in the majors but has been more effective in those matchups in 2026, slashing .229/.282/.448 over 104 plate appearances.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Orioles' Pete Alonso: Erupts for two homers
Alonso went 3-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, four RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.
Alonso reached base in all five of his plate appearances and recorded his first multi-homer game as an Oriole, launching two-run shots in back-to-back at-bats. The huge performance came after Alonso entered Sunday with just one extra-base hit while batting .160 through seven August games. With 25 on the season now, he's on pace to reach 30 home runs for the seventh time in his career and sixth consecutive season, though his overall production has slipped compared to his usual standards, with a .472 slugging percentage and .818 OPS.

Ben Rice 1B | NYY
Yankees' Ben Rice: Snaps homer drought Saturday
Rice went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a 5-4 win over Atlanta.
Rice bashed a 431-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning, providing what ended up being the decisive run in the narrow victory. The long ball snapped a season-long 11-game homer drought for the slugger -- a stretch during which he batted just .132 (5-for-38) with a 9:15 BB:K and only two RBI. Rice has already established career-best marks with 32 home runs and 75 RBI on the campaign, though he's struggled to a .611 OPS with a 32.6 percent strikeout rate over 21 games since the All-Star break.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Big game in loss
Naylor went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.
Naylor was the engine of the Mariners' offense in this contest, accounting for three of their eight hits. He had gone 0-for-9 over his previous three games, but he was batting .328 over the first 16 contests after the All-Star break before he hit the mini-slump. Naylor has struggled in the power department this season -- Saturday's performance finally got him to the 10-homer mark. He's added 23 steals, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored and 17 doubles while batting .262 with a .698 OPS through 110 contests.

Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE
Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Blasts homer in loss
Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.
This was Hoskins' first multi-hit effort since July 20 versus the Twins. The first baseman continues to fill a part-time role, now working as a platoon partner with Nathaniel Lowe, who was acquired from Cincinnati at the trade deadline. Hoskins is batting .183 with a .703 OPS, 13 homers, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored, 13 doubles and a stolen base over 304 plate appearances this season. Considering Hoskins hasn't started against a right-hander since July 23, expect him to be platooned heavily for the remainder of the year.
