Murray is getting the boot from the active roster and will be replaced by Alimber Santa on Friday. Murray will likely be up-and-down for the remainder of 2026.

Bericoto appears to have avoided serious injury when he collided awkwardly with the left-field wall at Fenway Park during Saturday’s game against the Red Sox. Still, he’s going to need some time off to rest and recover.

Brubaker suffered the injury while diving to catch a foul ball during Sunday’s game against the Red Sox. He’s recorded a pair of saves to accompany a strong 3.58 ERA across 60 1/3 innings this season. It’s unclear how much time he’ll miss, but it shouldn’t be a lengthy absence.

Bonemer has played shortstop and third base exclusively at the outset of his professional career, but the White Sox want to expose him to the outfield to add some defensive versatility to his toolbelt and give him additional avenues to at-bats at the highest level. The 20-year-old top prospect has put together an outstanding season, hitting .249/.381/.556 with 33 home runs and 16 steals between Double-A Birmingham and High-A Winston-Salem this season. It’s an interesting wrinkle to monitor as Bonemer heads to the Arizona Fall League in a couple weeks.

The first move of the Jim Crane era is in the books. Velázquez winds up back with the Astros on a new deal after being designated for assignment last week. He went 0-for-4 during a brief three-game stint after being claimed off waivers from the Cardinals earlier this month.

Delgado was brought up over the weekend as extra insurance in case Jeremy Peña (hand) required a trip to the injured list. This move feels like a pretty clear indication that he’ll be ready for Tuesday’s series opener against the Yankees.

The Phillies have their full lineup ready to roll as they attempt to win their 10th consecutive game in this one. Bohm is back at first base and hitting fifth after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Cardinals with a hamstring issue. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern at the moment.

Arraez is at second base and hitting cleanup after missing Sunday’s series finale against the Cardinals with a lower-body issue. The contact-oriented 29-year-old is batting .311 (23-for-74) with two homers and 11 RBI in 18 games since coming over from the Giants at the trade deadline.

Stott appears to have checked out fine with precautionary X-rays coming back negative after fouling a ball off his right foot during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old second baseman has been swinging a hot bat recently, hitting .294 (20-for-68) with one homer, 10 RBI and five steals in 21 games since the start of August.

Gausman will take the ball after making an early exit from his previous start against the White Sox with a cramp in his non-throwing hand last week. It doesn’t appear to be a concern heading into Monday’s road tilt against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

Lawlar has started five of seven games since returning from the injured list, going 4-for-18 with one homer and three RBI during that span. He’ll continue splitting time with fellow rookie Ryan Waldschmidt, who is in center field on Monday night at Chase Field with righty Kevin Gasuman toeing the rubber for Chicago.
