Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's Field of Dreams Game against the Reds.

Rivas was demoted to Iowa in late July but will rejoin the big-league club Thursday. The 25-year-old has a .232/.313/.316 slash line in 201 plate appearances this season and is likely to return to Triple-A after the contest.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

The veteran squared up on an Albert Abreu offering in the seventh inning to plate Mitch Haniger and erase a 3-2 deficit. Santana's blast ended up as the difference in the game and snapped an 0-for-17 slump that had encompassed his last five-plus contests.

Cron isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.

Cron is riding a five-game hitting streak in which he's slashed .318/.375/.682 with a home run, a triple, three doubles, eight RBI and four runs. He'll get a breather while Elehuris Montero starts at first base and bats sixth.

Naylor will be on the bench Thursday versus the Tigers.

Naylor will get a breather after he went went 5-for-23 with an RBI and a stolen base while starting the last six games. Owen Miller will start at first base and bat fourth in the series finale.

Bell went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two walks in Wednesday's victory over the Giants.

Bell has seen some struggles at the plate since being traded to San Diego at the deadline. His OPS since then sits at .644 over 32 plate appearances. However, when playing in his new home stadium his OPS jumps up to .851. Time will tell how significant these trends are as Bell settles into his new home, but it's reasonable to expect him to bounce back eventually.

Harris was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Frisco on Wednesday. He was seen with a brace on his wrist from an injury suffered Saturday, Michael Tepid of Loonestarball.com reports.

Harris is hitting .259 with 18 home runs and 19 stolen bases with a .831 OPS in Double-A in 86 games this season. He's a dark-horse candidate to be called up to the majors in September, so the hope will be that this injury doesn't sidetrack the rest of his season.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The lefty-hitting Wade will find himself on the bench with southpaw Sean Manaea taking the hill for San Diego. Wade had made each of his last three starts as the Giants' designated hitter, but he may not have a clear path to a regular lineup spot now that Evan Longoria has returned from the injured list. The Giants could open up room in the corner outfield for Wade if they decide to cut bait on Luis Gonzalez, who enters Wednesday's contest having gone 0-for-17 over his last five starts.

Rizzo (back) is starting at first base and batting third in Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners.

Rizzo will be back in the lineup after missing the last five games while nursing lower-back tightness. Prior to going down with the injury, the 33-year-old went 6-for-19 with four homers, eight RBI and six runs over his last five games.

Kirilloff underwent successful surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles to shorten the ulnar bone in his right wrist and clean up scar tissue, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Kirilloff's season will come to an early end for the second year in a row due to right wrist surgery, with his latest procedure performed by Dr. Steven Shin and considered more uncommon than the prior one, which involved ligament damage. It's the third major surgery of the 24-year-old's professional career, as he previously missed the entire 2017 minor-league season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Twins are hopeful that Tuesday's procedure will provide a more permanent fix for Kirilloff's lingering wrist issues, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for spring training. He concludes the 2022 campaign with a .250 average, three home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs over 155 plate appearances with the big club.

Tellez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Tellez has started mainly against right-handed pitchers recently, and he'll get a breather Wednesday with southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the Rays. Keston Hiura will start at first base and bat sixth.
