Gavin Lux SS | TB
Rays' Gavin Lux: Return unlikely this year
Lux (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, per MLB.com.
Lux's most recent setback saw him get shut down in mid-July after receiving an injection in his right shoulder. His initial rehab assignment in April was halted by a sprained left ankle, and the infielder was later pulled off another minor-league stint with left shoulder inflammation. The Rays haven't officially ruled out Lux for the remainder of the year, but his status for the rest of 2026 is in major doubt.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Nursing knee soreness
Perdomo left Monday's game against Colorado due to left knee soreness.
This appears to be a minor issue for Perdomo, who went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run before exiting. He'll presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday morning and can be considered day-to-day. Manager Torey Lovullo stated after the game that Perdomo is fine, but he could get the next day or two off as a precaution, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic. Ildemaro Vargas would be in line for more looks at shortstop if Perdomo misses additional time.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Lifted early Monday
Perdomo was removed during the fifth inning of Monday's game against the Rockies for an undisclosed reason, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
It's not yet clear if Perdomo left with an injury, though it would be a bit odd to pull him at this stage in the game to get him off his feet, even with a 7-0 lead. The team could provide more information about the shortstop's removal after the game.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Homer, three hits in win
Lindor went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Monday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.
Lindor set the tone from the top of the order, highlighted by a 420-foot blast off Bryce Elder in the third inning. The shortstop finally appears to be heating up, hitting safely in nine of his past 11 contests with four multi-hit efforts, five extra-base hits, seven RBI and 10 runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .242/.327/.439 with 11 homers, 30 RBI, 36 runs scored and three steals across 275 plate appearances.

Carson DeMartini SS | PHI
Phillies' Carson DeMartini: Back in action at Double-A
DeMartini (wrist) has gone 3-for-13 with a solo home run, three walks, four stolen bases and three runs in four games for Double-A Reading since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 4.
Before returning to action for Reading last week, DeMartini had been out of commission for nearly three months due to a left wrist sprain. The 23-year-old infielder has posted a .798 OPS with five home runs and 10 steals over 28 games at the Double-A level in 2026.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Progresses to tee work
Correa (ankle) has been cleared to hit off a tee, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Correa was given the green light to swing a bat nearly one week ago, and he's since been able to progress to tee work. It remains to be seen whether he'll be able to return before the end of the season after undergoing ankle surgery in May, but a timeline should come into focus as he continues to ramp up baseball activities.

Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Held out again Monday
Ortiz (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.
Ortiz will miss a second straight start with an upper-back injury. He's being considered day-to-day but appears to be trending in the right direction. Ortiz was able to do some running on the field before Monday's game, and he mentioned that he'd be available off the bench if needed, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. David Hamilton will again slide over to shortstop, while Andrew Vaughn will grab a start at third base.

Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Idle for series opener Monday
Tovar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Cole Carrigg will draw the start at shortstop while Tovar retreats to the bench for the Rockies' series opener in Arizona. Tovar had started in each of the last seven games, going 8-for-24 with one home run, one double, two walks, five runs and three RBI.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Resting up Monday
Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Turner will head to the bench for the first time since July 8 in what appears to be a planned rest day. Edmundo Sosa will receive the starting nod at shortstop in place of Turner, who has been running hot at the plate since the All-Star break with a .298/.337/.585 slash line, seven home runs, one stolen base, 18 runs and 14 RBI in 22 games.
