Manager John Gibbons said Saturday that Solarte (oblique) may return from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Though Solarte might be back on the active roster as soon as Sunday for the series finale against Cleveland, he could require a bit more time to recover from this oblique issue before taking the field. Gibbons added that Tuesday is also being targeted for Solarte's reinstatement if the infielder isn't feeling ready by Sunday.

Forsythe went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three runs in Friday's win over the Royals.

Forsythe has cooled a bit after starting off pretty strong with his new club at the beginning of August, hitting just .226 with three RBI over his last 15 games. He is, however, still slashing .298/.394/.342 with 11 RBI and 14 runs scored in 32 games for the Twins since the trade. The increased playing time in Minnesota ups his value, but only by rather minimal degrees.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Yankees' 4-0 win over the Mariners on Friday.

The impressive rookie campaign continued for Torres on Friday night, as he got the scoring started for the Yankees with a two-run blast off James Paxton in the second inning. His batting average now sits at .277 for the season, along with 23 home runs and 68 RBI.

Semien went 2-for-2 with a home run, a single, two walks and two RBI in Friday's win over the Rangers.

Semien's perfect night at the plate was highlighted by a two-run homer in the second inning off Rangers' starter Yovani Gallardo. The 27-year-old shortstop now has at least one hit in nine of his last 11 games and bumped his season average up to .262 with Friday's performance.

Joseph had his contract purchased from Double-A Bowie on Friday.

Joseph has appeared in four games for the Orioles this year during a brief stint with the team in mid-June, going 1-for-9 with one RBI and picking up a pair of starts. Across 122 contests with Bowie, he's hit .312/.381/.497 with 17 home runs and 68 RBI, to go along with eight stolen bases. He will serve as additional infield depth for the rest of the month.

Altuve went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Twins.

Altuve's sixth-inning double snapped a string of 19 at-bats without a hit. That's the longest such stretch of the season for one of the game's best hitters.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-2 rout of the White Sox.

The homer was his fourth of the year, while the steal was his first -- all of which have come in his last 11 games. Rodriguez's overall .216/.255/.331 slash line in the majors isn't impressive, but he could be getting comfortable at the plate now that he's seeing regular playing time.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Andrus' homer was the second in three games and gives him six for the season. It's a big comedown after the shortstop swatted 20 in 2017, but an April elbow injury that forced him to miss 59 games derailed any thoughts of him repeating that feat. Andrus has a .379 slugging percentage over the 63 games (272 at-bats) since his return from the injury.

Beckham was recalled by the Mariners on Tuesday.

Beckham hit just .222/.282/.250 in a 14-game stint with the Mariners earlier in the season and hasn't posted a wRC+ above 75 since way back in 2013. He'll be little more than bench depth for Seattle and is unlikely to have much fantasy value even if given unexpected playing time.

Petit's contract was purchased by the Twins on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

The 33-year-old appeared in 12 games for the Twins earlier in the season, hitting .308, before eventually being designated for assignment. He's back on the roster now and will fill a backup infield role down the stretch. Logan Morrison (hip) was moved to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move.
