Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: May avoid rehab assignment
Ramirez (hand) may not require a rehab assignment before his activation from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies four hits Saturday
Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.
All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Searching for rhythm
Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.
Despite Saturday's productive showing, Bohm has still struggled overall in what's arguably been a career-worst season so far. The multi-hit game was his first since July 4 in Kansas City, and the RBI was his first since July 6. Through 383 trips to the plate to this point, the third baseman is slashing a miserable .216/.277/.351 with 11 home runs, 14 doubles, 48 RBI and 31 runs scored.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Progressing to baseball activities
Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof landed on the IL right before the All-Star break due to a right knee laceration. He'll resume baseball activities after his stitches are removed, and it's possible that Gelof may not need to embark on a rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day IL. He is slashing .273/.327/.476 with eight steals, 11 home runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances this season.

Mead will get a chance to catch his breath after beginning the second half by going 4-for-6 with three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored during Friday's 23-4 rout. Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat eighth.

Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Sitting down in Game 2
Arias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
