Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

The lefty-hitting Stott will get a breather for a day game after a night game while the Yankees bring southpaw Nestor Cortes to the hill. Weston Wilson will fill in for Stott at second base and bat seventh.

Marte went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 17-0 win over Washington.

Like the summer months in Arizona, Marte's bat is sizzling with multiple hits in 10 of his last 14 starts. He's gone 24-for-53 (.453) with seven home runs during that run. The hot bat stretches further back to the beginning of June; Marte is slashing .359/.439/.653 with 14 homers and 43 RBI over 47 games since June 2.

The Pirates acquired Kiner-Falefa (knee) from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for infielder/outfielder Charles McAdoo, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa is currently on the injured list due to a left knee sprain, though he played in two rehab games over the weekend and should soon be ready to be reinstated. The utility man is in the midst of the most productive campaign of his MLB career with seven home runs and a .292/.338/.420 slash line through 82 games. He should see significant action at second base since Nick Gonzales (groin) is facing an extended absence, but Kiner-Falefa could also log starts at the hot corner, given Ke'Bryan Hayes' weak .591 OPS this season.

The Marlins added Hensley to the 26-man roster Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins claimed Hensley from the Astros on Monday, and with Miami making a slew of trades at the deadline, Hensley will immediately join the active roster. It's unclear if the utility man will stick around long-term or just serve as a fill-in option until Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby arrive from Baltimore.

The Marlins acquired Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Norby was one of Baltimore's top prospects and had recently been operating as the club's primary second baseman, but he's now making his way to Miami. The 24-year-old has a .594 OPS in his first nine big-league games but has a .300/.392/.522 slash line with 16 home runs and 13 steals in 80 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season. Norby should have a regular spot in the lineup for the Marlins the rest of the way, which offers him a more secure outlook than he had in the Orioles' crowded infield.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over the Twins.

The 32-year-old shifted back to second base Monday following the acquisition of Jesse Winker, but that didn't derail McNeil's momentum at the plate. Over his last 14 games, he's slashing .340/.352/.720 with 11 runs, 15 RBI and 11 extra-base hits (seven doubles, four homers) among his 17 total knocks.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals.

Marte provided an RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run homer in the ninth. The second baseman has slugged five homers and driven in 14 runs over his last seven contests, an impressive stretch even when compared to his lofty standards this season. Marte has a .299/.368/.543 slash line with 24 homers, 71 RBI, 73 runs scored and six stolen bases over 102 games.

India went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.

India singled and stole a bag in the first inning, and he later walked and scored on TJ Friedl's home run. India has reached double-digit steals for the second consecutive season. He is now one of six Reds players with double-digit stolen bases this season. The 27-year-old continues his solid season at the top of the lineup, hitting .263/.367/.401 with eight homers, 40 RBI and 52 runs scored through 98 games.

The Dodgers acquired Rosario from the Rays on Monday in exchange for right-hander Michael Flynn, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Rosario will head back to Los Angeles, where he made his final 48 appearances of the 2023 season after being dealt from the Guardians last July. The 28-year-old owns a .307 average with two home runs, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 264 at-bats in 76 contests with the Rays this season. Rosario had made starts at second base, third base, shortstop and right field with the Rays and will give the Dodgers some valuable defensive versatility. He'll likely have to settle for a short-side platoon role when the Dodgers are at full strength, but he could have a path to steady playing time while the likes of Mookie Betts (hand), Max Muncy (oblique), Tommy Edman (wrist), Chris Taylor (groin) and Miguel Rojas (forearm) are on the injured list.

Garcia isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Garcia will head to the bench as the Nationals face Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery in the series opener. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at second base and bat seventh against Arizona.
