  • Luis Guillorme 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Luis Guillorme: Jettisoned from 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of Lourdes Gurriel from the injured list. Guillorme played a decent amount while Ketel Marte was injured, but his role has been limited since Marte returned to action.

  • Cavan Biggio 2B | ATL

    Braves' Cavan Biggio: Sent to Triple-A

    Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    The 29-year-old was added to Atlanta's big-league roster Sept. 11 shortly after being acquired from San Francisco, but he'll now head to Triple-A as Ozzie Albies (wrist) returns from the injured list.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Albies is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup after missing most of the second half with a fractured left wrist. The switch hitter will bat only from the right side of the plate for the time being, as he still feels some discomfort when hitting left-handed. Albies has always been a stronger hitter from the right side of the dish, boasting a career .932 OPS versus southpaws.

    Marte has scuffled (.184/.295/.368) over 11 games since coming off the injured list earlier this month, but he has knocked in seven runs during that span. He's up to 88 RBI for the season, four shy of the career best he posted in 2019.
