Athletics shelve Jeffey Springs due to sore hip

Rojas told reporters he didn’t require an injection in his shoulder after aggravating an existing labrum team while diving for a ball during Sunday’s game against the Marlins. It’s an encouraging sign that the 37-year-old infielder, who is expected to retire at the conclusion of the year, is already back in the lineup without missing any additional time. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern moving forward.

Torres has ceded a considerable amount of playing time to youngster Hao-Yu Lee recently, starting just four of Detroit’s last 12 contests at second base. He’s back at the keystone and hitting second against Blue Jays righty José Soriano in this one.

As expected, Freeman takes a seat with the Dodgers managing a relatively minor right knee issue that he’s been playing through recently. The 37-year-old first baseman missed a pair of games last week due to the lingering issue, but was feeling much better over the weekend. It’ll be versatile Enrique Hernández taking over at the cold corner in his place on Monday night.

McLain takes a seat for the third consecutive game due to lingering left shoulder soreness. It seems unlikely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list with less than two weeks left in the season, but the Reds aren’t going to rush him back too quickly and risk a setback. It’ll be Juan Brito drawing another opportunity at the keystone in his absence.

Sánchez heads out west to help Arizona as a platoon option for the remainder of their late-season playoff push. The 28-year-old corner outfielder was designated for assignment by Toronto last week after hitting just .260/.318/.416 with eight homers and one steal in 299 plate appearances. The lackluster offensive production was manageable for the Blue Jays, but it became unpalatable when paired with utterly abysmal defense. He’ll split time in the outfield corners, in addition to spending some time at DH, for the Diamondbacks over the final two weeks of the season.

Nick Lodolo is on the mound for the Reds, so De Paula moves down to ninth in the order, but it’s nice to see that he will remain in the lineup, even against lefties. He hit .267 off lefties in Double-A, but had just eight extra-base hits all season, so we’ll watch closely to see how he handles Major League lefties.

Basallo has been struggling with the bat over the final month of the season as he attempts to play through a shoulder injury. With both Coby Mayo and Christian Encarnacion-Strand hitting well, there are no DH at-bats for Basallo, so he has simply been playing every other day as a catcher. That makes him hard to trust in fantasy leagues. Carlos Narvaez will catch and hit ninth on Monday.

Genao has now sat versus each of the last two left-handed starters. The 22-year-old is slashing .236/.300/.327 in 120 plate appearances for the Guardians with just six RBI, two home runs, and one steal. He does not need to be held in redraft fantasy leagues. Travis Bazzana will start at second base, with Angel Martinez in left field and Chase DeLauter at DH.

Williams, who has been out since August 10th with a shoulder strain, threw off a mound on Monday at Citi Field. He will do so again on Thursday against live hitters and “could come off the injured list as soon as this weekend if all continues to go well.” Given how long he has missed and how poorly he was pitching before getting hurt, we wouldn’t be rushing to add him in fantasy leagues for the final week of the season.

McCoy was up with Ty France landing on the Paternity list. He didn’t appear in any of the games over the weekend.
