The Twins selected Ross's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Ross has slashed .274/.378/.506 with 20 homers and 20 steals between Double-A Wichita and St. Paul this season to earn his first big-league promotion. The 25-year-old can play all over the diamond, giving the Twins depth at multiple positions.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Lombard (knee) will remain out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

Nursing right knee inflammation, Lombard ran and took grounders pregame Monday and will likely do so again Tuesday, but he will be held out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest. Boone reiterated Tuesday that he does not anticipate Lombard requiring a stint on the injured list, though he didn't completely rule it out. The Yankees wrap up their series against the Angels on Wednesday and are idle Thursday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Lombard is held out until Friday in San Diego. Jose Caballero has been filling in at shortstop for the Bronx Bombers.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Bogaerts delivered a two-run double in the fourth inning to extend San Diego's lead during a four-run frame. Despite the timely hit, his production has continued to trend downward during a difficult season, with his .217 average representing a career-low mark. Bogaerts owns a .638 OPS across 519 plate appearances this season.

Montgomery went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two walks and two runs scored Monday against the Astros.

Montgomery was the key offensive contributor for the White Sox, first doubling in the fourth inning before coming around to score. Three frames later, he smacked his 29th home run of the season and his third in his last nine starts. Montgomery continues to display an extreme skill profile, as he's also hitting just .214 while striking out at a 33.9 percent clip across 545 plate appearances on the campaign.

Pratt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 17-3 loss to the Cubs.

Pratt launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, though it had little impact on the result as the Cubs cruised to a blowout victory. It marked the shortstop's first homer since July 25. Through 187 plate appearances, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing .270/.339/.371 with three homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and 12 stolen bases.

Ross is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Saint Paul ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ross is expected to join the Twins as one of the club's September call-ups when rosters expand Tuesday. He's slashing .249/.353/.458 with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 56 runs in 102 games in his first season at Triple-A and has primarily played third base, shortstop and center field for the Saints in 2026.

Jackson (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-25 (.200 average) with two doubles, two steals and a 2:5 BB:K in six games for Double-A Somerset since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 23.

Jackson ended up missing just over a week due to an unspecified injury. The 22-year-old infielder owns a .238/.327/.333 slash line and has gone a perfect 6-for-6 on stolen-base attempts over 49 plate appearances at Somerset since being promoted from High-A Hudson Valley on Aug. 11.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

On the bench for the third time in six games, Ortiz has begun to find himself as the odd man out on the left side of the Milwaukee infield. Ortiz should continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching, but Cooper Pratt and David Hamilton are likely to be prioritized ahead of him versus righties.

Lombard (knee) is not listed in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

Lombard will miss his second consecutive game after injuring himself during Saturday's matchup against Boston. Jose Caballero will once again man shortstop and bat eighth for New York. Manager Aaron Boone noted before the matchup that Lombard did some running earlier in the day, and he's unsure if the rookie will be available off the bench, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

Monasterio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

After starting in all but three games from July 22 through Saturday, Monasterio will remain on the bench for the second day in a row in the wake of Trevor Story's return from the 60-day injured list. Though Story could have his workload monitored to some degree following his return from sports hernia surgery, he'll still be in store for the lion's share of starts at shortstop while Monasterio transitions into more of a utility role.
