Motter was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday.

Jose Fermin was called up from Triple-A Memphis and will take over Motter's roster spot as an extra infielder. Motter has now been designated for assignment three times this season, and he seems likely to clear waivers and be outrighted to Triple-A again.

Stott went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run and a stolen base against the Padres in Monday's 9-7 victory.

Bohm was in the midst of a 1-for-17 cold spell coming into Monday, but he turned things around emphatically with his second four-hit game of the campaign. The second baseman also notched his 26th theft, tied for 13th in the majors. Stott has complemented his excellent .294/.337/.442 slash line with 14 homers, 29 doubles, 55 RBI and 70 runs over 549 plate appearances this season.

Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases Sunday in a 4-0 victory over the Giants.

Kim singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and quickly stole second base before being wiped out at third on a fielder's choice. He added a walk and another theft in the fourth frame. Kim is up to 31 steals on the season, eighth-most in the majors. He's added 17 homers, 52 RBI, 77 runs and a .275/.365/.429 slash line in what has been a breakout campaign.

Marte is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rockies.

It appears to be a routine day off, which would be Marte's first since Aug. 17. Geraldo Perdomo will slide over to second base while Nick Ahmed gets a start at shortstop Monday.

Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that India (foot) could begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India, who has been on the 10-day injured list since July 30 with left foot plantar fasciitis, began a running progression Monday at the Reds' complex in Arizona and looks to be making good progress in his recovery. Bell suggested that India would likely need at least three rehab games before being activated from the IL, so the 26-year-old probably won't be ready to return to the Cincinnati lineup until early next week at the soonest.

Peguero went 2-for-5 with a pair of base hits in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.

Peguero turned in his third multi-hit effort in four games and appears to have bounced back nicely from a recent three-game stretch in which he went 0-for-9 with a walk and six strikeouts. He'll stick in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale, manning shortstop and batting sixth.

Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Bae will be one of several left-handed hitting Pirates who will hit the bench Sunday while the Cardinals bring southpaw Zack Thompson to the hill. With Bae sitting out, Vinny Capra will draw a start at second base and Jack Suwinski will man center field.

Mauricio went 2-for-4 with his first career stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.

Mauricio followed up his impressive MLB debut with his second consecutive two-hit performance and stole a base while operating out of the nine-hole. The 22-year-old switch-hitting infielder showcased an impressive combination of power and speed in the minors, posting at least 20 home runs and 20 steals in each of the last two seasons. Mauricio is expected to be the Mets' primary second baseman down the stretch.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over Washington.

Arraez singled in the top of the second to drive home Xavier Edwards and tacked on an insurance run in the seventh with another RBI single. The second baseman reached base four times on the afternoon and has now recorded multiple hits in three straight games. He's also hit safely in six straight and in 10 of his last 11.

Bae went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Friday against the Cardinals.

Bae has started all seven games against right-handed pitching since he returned from the injured list Aug. 18, and he's also started four of seven contests against southpaws. In that span, he's gone 10-for-41 with four RBI and five runs to go along with a pair of stolen bases. While unremarkable production, the Pirates appear invested in getting Bae regular at-bats, to the detriment of Liover Peguero.
