Casas (ribs) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

This was the first rehab game for Casas, who batted second and was removed after seven innings. The Red Sox will want to see Casas play the field and in back-to-back games before returning him to the majors. He could potentially be activated off the injured list early in August.

Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Freeman (personal) to return from the family emergency list before the end of the Dodgers' series versus San Diego, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeman will be required to come off the family emergency list Saturday, though Roberts' comments leave open the possibility that the first baseman could be ready for Friday's series opener against Oakland. Until then, Cavan Biggio will continue to start at first base for Los Angeles.

Joe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Joe notched his first multi-hit game since June 26. The 31-year-old is batting a meager .224 (11-for-49) in July, and just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, he's slashing .244/.325/.383 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and two stolen bases across 332 plate appearances. Joe got the start in right field Tuesday, but he'll likely be back in a short-side platoon role at first base once outfielder Bryan De La Cruz reports to the Pirates after they acquired him in a trade with the Marlins earlier in the day.

The Angels acquired Kavadas, outfielder Matthew Lugo and right-handers Ryan Zeferjahn and Yeferson Vargas from the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Luis Garcia, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

A first baseman/designated hitter with huge raw power and a lot of strikeouts, Kavadas has a better chance of breaking through with the Angels than he did with Boston. A fourth-round pick in 2021, Kavadas is already 25 and is repeating Triple-A this season. The lefty-hitting slugger slashed .281/.424/.551 with 17 home runs and a 33.4 percent strikeout rate in 83 games for Triple-A Worcester.

The Tigers traded Canha to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Canha is returning to the Bay Area after spending the first seven years of his career in Oakland, but this time he's bound for the other side of the Bay. He was a good bet to be dealt before the deadline, hence his omission from the starting lineup for the Tigers in Tuesday's game versus the Guardians. In July, the 35-year-old has slashed .250/.344/.385 with one home run. Canha has started 31 games at first base, 33 in the outfield and 31 as the designated hitter this season. The Giants recently parted with Jorge Soler, who started in 92 games at DH, in a trade with Atlanta, potentially opening up a path to regular playing time for Canha.

The Diamondbacks placed Walker on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left oblique.

Walker will head to the IL for the first time since the 2021 season after he tweaked the oblique muscle during Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. The first baseman was diagnosed with a low-grade strain following an MRI and hopes to rejoin the Diamondbacks in about three weeks, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. In a corresponding move, Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno, but it'll likely be trade-acquisition Josh Bell that works as Arizona's primary first baseman for the duration of Walker's absence.

The Mariners optioned Locklear to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

The team's trade of Ty France briefly cleared a path to playing time at first base for Locklear, but it quickly closed upon its acquisition of Justin Turner. Locklear will return to Tacoma, where he's put up an .887 OPS this season.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Tigers.

Naylor opened the scoring in the fourth inning, launching a 3-2 pitch from Alex Faedo for his 23rd homer of the year. Naylor's gone 3-for-8 with a pair of RBI in his last two games after missing the Guardians' previous three contests with "general soreness". Overall, the 27-year-old Naylor is slashing .241/.320/.477 through 413 plate appearances this season with 74 RBI, 58 runs scored and five stolen bases.

The Diamondbacks received "relatively good news" on Walker's (oblique) MRI but are still expected to place him on the 10-day injured list, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Walker tweaked his oblique in Monday's win over the Nationals. While it sounds like the strain isn't overly severe, it's bad enough that he'll be out, at minimum, for the next 10 days. Arizona acquired Josh Bell via trade with the Marlins earlier Tuesday and will install him as its first baseman while Walker recovers.

The Diamondbacks acquired Bell from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

The acquisition of Bell would seem to indicate that the Diamondbacks expect to be without everyday first baseman Christian Walker for a while after Walker suffered an oblique injury in Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. While Bell has posted a mediocre .699 OPS on the season, he's been sizzling at the plate of late with six home runs over his last 12 contests. The Marlins will cover approximately $3.25 million of the $5.5 million remaining on Bell's $16.5 million salary for 2024 as part of the trade, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.
