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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Marte was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays after he appeared to aggravate his left ankle sprain during a pinch-hit appearance, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 30-year-old returned to the lineup Saturday as the designated hitter after he sat out the previous three games due to an ankle sprain, but he quickly aggravated the injury after coming off the bench late in Sunday's contest. The severity of the injury this time around is unclear, but Marte needed to be helped off the field and could require a trip to the injured list.

Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Angels.

Merrifield swiped his 15th bag of the season in the second inning after reaching on a fielder's choice and then went on to score Atlanta's fourth run of the contest on a single from Michael Harris. The second baseman would later spark a five-run inning with a leadoff homer in the fifth, marking his first long ball since June 8 against the Mets. Merrifield has now hit safely in three of his last four games and has scored at least one run in three of his last five.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

McNeil started the previous 10 games and had an .839 OPS during that span, but he'll receive a day off for Sunday's series finale. Jose Iglesias will step in at the keystone and bat seventh against Miami righty Valente Bellozo.

Marte is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

After sitting out for three games due a low-grade ankle sprain, Marte returned to the lineup Saturday and went 1-for-3 with a walk. He'll sit for the series finale as he gets eased back into things, with Kevin Newman starting at second base and batting ninth.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over Colorado.

Bogaerts walked and stole second in his second trip to the plate before then getting caught trying to steal third. The second baseman would add singles in each of his next two at-bats, with the latter one driving home Jurickson Profar to extend San Diego's lead to seven runs. It was the fifth multi-hit performance this month for Bogaerts, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six games. He's batting .268 (15-for-56) in August with six RBI, eight runs and just three extra-base hits, while Saturday's stolen base marked his seventh of the campaign.
