  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Dispatched to Sacramento

    The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    San Francisco reinstated Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wisely has been with the big club since May, but he saw his playing time diminish since the All-Star break while slashed .167/.207/.204 with six RBI across 56 plate appearances in the second half. Wisely should take back an everyday role as he returns to Sacramento.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Reinstated from injured list

    The Giants activated Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Estrada missed the last three-plus weeks with a left wrist sprain but is ready to go after a five-game rehab stint which saw him go 9-for-21 with one home run. He's starting at second base and batting eighth Monday versus the White Sox in his return to action. Brett Wisely was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Lands on IL with sprained ankle

    The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left ankle.

    Marte initially injured the ankle more than a week ago and has been in and out of the lineup since then. He aggravated the injury during a pinch-hit appearance Sunday versus the Rays, and the Diamondbacks have finally decided to make a roster move with the 30-year-old. No imaging is planned for Marte, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and he could have a good chance to return from the IL on Aug. 29 when his 10 days are up. Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander should fill in at second base while Marte is sidelined.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Idle against lefty

    McNeil is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Baltimore.

    McNeil will avoid a matchup with southpaw Trevor Rogers on Monday, yielding to Jose Iglesias at second base. McNeil is 12-for-46 (.261) with three homers and five doubles in August.

  • Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Out at Triple-A with pneumonia

    Alvarez has not played for Triple-A Gwinnett since Aug. 14 while battling pneumonia, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    If healthy, Alvarez would have been a candidate to get a call-up to Atlanta and see time at third base while Austin Riley (hand) is sidelined. However, he's currently unavailable due to the illness, and it's not clear when Alvarez will be ready to play again for Gwinnett. Alvarez went just 3-for-30 with a 10:0 K:BB over eight games in an earlier stint with the big club in July.

  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Remains hot Sunday

    Lux went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles against St. Louis in Sunday's 2-1 victory.

    Lux notched two of the Dodgers' three extra-base hits in the win and recorded his third multi-hit performance over his past four games. The second baseman struggled early in the season, but since the All-Star break he's blossomed with a .367/.431/.644 slash line, five homers, 10 doubles, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a steal through 28 games. There was a point during Mookie Betts' recent absence that the Dodgers considered moving Betts to second base upon his return, but the team has since returned the All-Star to right field, leaving Lux in an everyday role in the middle infield.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Called up by Miami

    The Marlins recalled Norby from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

    Norby was surprisingly sent to Jacksonville after the Marlins acquired him at the trade deadline from the Orioles, but he's now joined the big club and should be set for an everyday role. The 24-year-old had mostly played third base at Jacksonville of late and that's likely where he'll see the bulk of his starts with the Marlins for now, although he's capable of handling second base and the corner outfield spots, as well.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Likely returning to majors

    The Marlins are expected to recall Norby from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Norby was acquired by the Marlins at the trade deadline and has since slashed .263/.300/.368 with Triple-A Jacksonville across 13 games. Though he's seen the majority of his starts at second base during his time in the minors this season and during his brief stint with the Orioles earlier in 2024, Norby has made his last three starts with Jacksonville at third base. He could step in as the everyday option at the hot corner, which would allow fellow rookie Otto Lopez to continue getting regular playing time at second base.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Set to be activated

    Edman (wrist) will be activated from the injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Edman has been sidelined for the entire season while recovering from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. He most recently began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 10 and has gone 5-for-17 with six walks and only two strikeouts. Edman looks likely to get the majority of his playing time in center field, though he is capable of playing a super-utility role.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Reds' Amed Rosario: Claimed by Cincinnati

    The Reds claimed Rosario off waivers Sunday.

    The 29-year-old was designated for assignment Monday by the Dodgers to make room on the roster for Mookie Betts' return from the injured list, and Rosario will now make his way to Cincinnati. Rosario has a .305/.331/.415 slash line with two homers and 10 stolen bases in 81 games between Tampa Bay and Los Angeles this season.
