Bostick was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Bostick has the ability to play second base and all around the outfield. He'll likely serve in a utility role in his time with the team. The 25-year-old has hit a solid .295/.351/.436 for Indianapolis so far this season and went 8-for-27 at the big-league level last year.

Forsythe was traded from the Dodgers to the Twins on Tuesday along with Luke Raley and Devin Smeltzer in exchange for Brian Dozier, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

With Forsythe's salary matching Dozier's almost perfectly, it allowed the Dodgers to stay under the luxury tax. Forsythe was hitting just .207 and was worth negative-0.6 fWAR in 211 plate appearances, so it would not be surprising if he didn't play much with the rebuilding Twins.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Semien operated out of the eight hole, ceding the leadoff role to the hot-hitting Nick Martini. The shortstop is wrapping up July wielding a hot bat, as he's now generated four two-hit efforts over his last eight games, a span during which he's laced a quartet of two-baggers and driven in five of his eight runs for the month.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a triple Monday in the Diamondbacks' 9-5 loss to the Rangers.

The triple was Marte's 10th of the season, giving him the MLB lead in the category. While that output seemingly supports Marte's status as one of the majors' fastest players -- he ranks in the 85th percentile among all players with at least 10 running opportunities in terms of sprint speed, per Baseball Savant -- he remains curiously inactive on the basepaths. Marte has logged just three stolen-base attempts this season and seven total across 656 career plate appearances with Arizona.

Beckham was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Beckham was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Monday's acquisitions, Adam Warren and Zach Duke. Beckham had put together an uninspiring .200/.263/.229 slash line with one extra-base hit and one RBI in the big leagues prior to being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma on July 13.

Tomlinson was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento to the major leagues Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tomlinson was banished to the minors Thursday, but after Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) and Johnny Cueto (elbow) were both placed on the disabled list, Tomlinson will have another opportunity to prove he belongs. He figures to take on a utility role with Joe Panik returning from an injury and resuming his role as the everyday second baseman.

Arroyo sustained a concussion after getting hit in the head by a pitch while playing for Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Arroyo has hit .264/.339/.396 in 20 games for the Rays this season. He'll likely miss at least a week with the concussion, though an exact timeline is very hard to predict for that sort of injury.

India was moved up to Low-A Dayton on Monday.

India is on the move once again, just days after being called up to Rookie-league Billings in the Pioneer League. Across 17 professional games, he's gone 14-for-54 (.259 average) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and one stolen base.

Kemp started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

The Astros promoted prospect Kyle Tucker and planned on giving him a shot to take the everyday job in left field, but that hasn't worked out. With the rookie hitting just .143 (6-for-42), Kemp has emerged as a logical candidate to get most of the starts in left. That could change if the Astros decide to trade for an outfielder ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Another wrinkle is Marwin Gonzalez likely getting time in left field once shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is ready.

Solarte is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Solarte has been stuck in a 5-for-43 rut at the dish over his last 10 games, so he'll be given a breather as the newly acquired Brandon Drury picks up a second straight start at third base. In the event manager John Gibbons elects to open up a permanent lineup spot for Drury, Solarte would still have a fairly clear path to everyday at-bats at shortstop or second base as part of a double-play tandem with Lourdes Gurriel.
