R. Hoskins - LF

PHI

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's loss to the Rockies.

The altitude didn't seem to benefit any other Philadelphia hitter, as Hoskins' blast provided all their scoring in a 10-1 defeat. His team may be limping to the finish line, but Hoskins' power remains. He's hit six homers in his last 17 games, giving him 33 on the season, good for a share of fifth place on the NL leaderboard.

S. Bieber - SP

CLE

Bieber is listed as the Indians' probable starter for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

After making his first 18 appearances with the big club as a member of the rotation, Bieber shifted to the bullpen last Friday against the Red Sox while the Indians used Trevor Bauer as an opener in the latter's return from a fractured fibula. Bauer covered 1.1 scoreless innings before giving way to Bieber, who worked 4.2 frames and gave up six runs on eight hits and two walks. The Indians initially planned to bring Bieber back into the rotation for Thursday's series opener in Kansas City, but he'll instead be moved up a day after Josh Tomlin was pushed back in the pitching schedule when he was needed out of the bullpen Sunday. Bieber's start will likely be his final one of 2018, as he's expected to transition into a long-relief role during the playoffs or get left off the Tribe's postseason roster entirely.

F. Cervelli - C

PIT

Cervelli went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Cubs on Monday.

After missing the last two games with gastrointestinal discomfort, Cervelli returned with a healthy performance. The catcher has compiled career highs in homers (12) and RBI (55). He's 2-for-5 with a three-run home run against Tuesday starter, Mike Montgomery.

Z. Randolph - PF

SAC

At Kings media day, coach Dave Joerger implied that both Randolph and Kosta Koufos could see reduced roles this season, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports. "I'm not saying those guys won't play, but our bigger priority is to play as many young guys as possible," Joerger said.

While Joerger's words may not be in the best interest of Randolph, himself, it's nonetheless refreshing to hear that the Kings will lean into their youth-heavy roster, which features second-year players Justin Jackson, Harry Giles, De'Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as well as No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley, among others. Last season, Sacramento's rotation was muddied with a mixture of young players and veterans, and it was often difficult to discern which players Joerger would favor on a night to night basis. The rotation could still take some time to settle, but at the very least it appears as though Joerger is ready to embrace a rebuild, rather than a misguided attempt to compete for the eighth seed, even in a year in which the Kings don't control their own first-round pick. In 2017-18, Randolph's first in Sacramento, the veteran appeared in 59 games and averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

J. Winston - QB

Winston (suspension) is eligible to return to the Buccaneers' 53-man roster Tuesday, but it remains uncertain if he'll start over Ryan Fitzpatrick in Sunday's game at Chicago, Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com reports. "Let's see what the injury report [says when it] comes back," head coach Dirk Koetter said after Monday's 30-27 loss to the Steelers, regarding his thoughts on the quarterback situation. "Any time we have these games, it's not always obvious how the guys are going to come in the next day and come in on Wednesday. Let's see what happens. I'd love to get a chance to talk to Jameis face-to-face before I tell the rest of the world."

After Winston was handed a three-game suspension in June for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, it was widely assumed at the time that he would immediately recapture the starting role once eligible to return. However, that no longer looks to be a certainty, with Fitzpatrick's impressive play in Winston's stead proving vital to the Bucs' 2-1 start to the season against a tough slate of opponents. Though Fitzpatrick took a step back Monday by throwing three first-half interceptions, he mounted an impressive comeback bid in the second half that fell just short. Fitzpatrick still finished with at least three touchdowns and 400-plus passing yards for the third time in as many games, boosting him to an NFL-best 11.1 yards per attempt on the season. Koetter will likely provide more insight into his plans at quarterback when the Buccaneers reconvene for practice Wednesday, but Fitzpatrick's hot play along with an incoming bye in Week 5 may give the team enough reason to use Winston -- who hasn't practiced with the team in 28 days -- as an understudy in his first game back from suspension.

G. Forsling - D

CHI

Forsling (wrist) worked on skating, stick handling and shooting during a conditioning session Monday, Madeline Kenney of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Forsling still isn't expected to return until mid-November, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see him already taking part in a rigorous conditioning session. The 22-year-old blueliner, who notched three goals and 13 points in 41 games last season, will likely be tasked with a middle-pairing role once he's cleared to return.

R. Rondo - PG

LAL

Rondo will start at point guard to begin the season while Lonzo Ball works back from knee surgery, Kyle Boon of CBS Sports reports.

Ball was medically cleared last week, but coach Luke Walton is taking a conservative approach with his return to full basketball activities. Rondo may not keep the starting job for the entire year, but could see a boost in his minutes early on.

L. Ball - PG

LAL

Ball, who is making his way back from knee surgery, will come off the bench to begin the season, Kyle Boone of CBS Sports reports.

Ball was medically cleared last week, but it appears coach Luke Walton wants to ease him back into action by bringing him off the bench to begin the season. It's possible he still trends near 30 minutes per night early in the year, but a slow start could be in store from a minutes standpoint. Once he's feeling comfortable again, it's possible he'll join the starting five.
