McGonigle has been sizzling-hot in the desert recently, batting .462 (6-for-13) with three homers and seven RBI over his last three games. The 21-year-old prodigy is batting .385/.494/.754 with five round-trippers and three steals across 17 games this fall. He’ll enter next season as one of the top prospects in the fantasy landscape and should reach Detroit at some point soon. Here’s the full lineup: McGonigle (SS), Braden Montgomery (CF), Max Anderson (3B), Jonny Farmelo (LF), Blake Mitchell (C), Tommy White (1B), Sam Antonacci (2B), Raudi Rodriguez (DH), Enrique Bradfield Jr. (RF) and Luis De Leon (P).

No word yet on the results of the tests that the 28-year-old shortstop underwent after being lifted from Saturday’s game with right posterior knee tightness. He has yet to be placed on the injured list yet though, which could mean that he’s facing a day-to-day type of situation. Stay tuned as the Astros should have an update on his status shortly.

There was a report from Noah Phalen of Sox Showdown on Sunday morning that Antonacci would be recalled along with top pitching prospect Noah Schultz on Tuesday, but it appears that’s not a guarantee just yet. Either way, the versatile 23-year-old is off to an outstanding start at the Triple-A level and should get a shot with the White Sox before long, even if it’s not during the upcoming week.

Donovan missed each of the team’s previous two games while battling an illness. He’ll start at third base and bat leadoff against Cody Bolton and the Astros on Sunday afternoon in Seattle.

He’ll add some depth in the outfield for the Orioles as Tyler O’Neill lands on the 7-day concussion injured list. The 26-year-old was hitting .333/.485/.375 with zero homers, two RBI and an 8/8 K/BB ratio in his first eight games at Triple-A Norfolk.

It turns out it’s not just an illness that O’Neill has been battling, it has actually been a concussion. Johnathan Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take his place on the active roster. O’Neill will have to clear the concussion protocol before he’s eligible to return to action.

Zach Pop will start in his place in what will end up being a bullpen game for the Phillies. Expect Painter to slot back into the Phillies’ rotation at some point next week.

If you’re going to have to take a day off, doing so in a matchup against Jacob deGrom isn’t a bad idea. Alex Call will start in his place in left field and will bat eighth for the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.

Harrison suffered a knee injury during Saturday’s start against the Nationals. While Harrison noted on Sunday that he was cautiously optimistic about how he was feeling, the team will wait to get the results on that exam before making a determination on his status going forward. Stay tuned.

O’Neill winds up missing all three games of the weekend series against the Giants. He’s still considered day-to-day, so expect that he’ll return to action early next week. Leody Taveras will draw another start in his place on Sunday and will bat sixth against Giants’ right-hander Adrian Houser.

Barnes will add a fresh arm and length to the Cubs’ bullpen with Hunter Harvey (triceps) landing on the injured list on Sunday. The 30-year-old right-hander hasn’t appeared in a big league game since way back in the 2021 season with the Twins.
