The Diamondbacks recalled Rojas from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The D-backs sent Rojas down to Triple-A in mid-June, and he's since slashed .259/.322/.389 with two homers and eight RBI across 59 plate appearances. He'll return to Arizona to take Evan Longoria's roster spot after Longoria landed on the IL with a back issue.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wisely came up from the minors on July 3 and has since slashed .132/.233/.158 across 43 plate appearances. He'll now attempt to get back on track in Triple-A while Brandon Crawford (knee) comes back from the injured list to fill Wisely's roster spot.

Diaz isn't in the Athletics' lineup Saturday against Colorado.

After a 2-for-5 performance Friday in which he drove in an RBI, Diaz will take a seat to begin Saturday's contest. In his place, Jace Peterson will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Rosario is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds.

He got a start at shortstop Friday against lefty Brandon Williamson, but will sit against righty Luke Weaver in his second game with the Dodgers. Rosario's playing time and lineup spot both look less favorable following the trade, which makes him expendable in some mixed leagues. Miguel Rojas is starting at shortstop Saturday and batting ninth.

The Brewers optioned Jones to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

With the acquisition of Carlos Santana from Pittsburgh, Jones will be forced off the Brewers' active roster to create space for the veteran first baseman. After a hot start to his career as a Brewer with a three-run double in his debut, Jones cooled off and is just 2-for-10 at the plate this season.

Kim went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs and a stolen base in a 7-1 victory versus the Rangers on Friday.

Kim continued to set the table from atop the lineup, reaching base multiple times for the sixth straight game. The second baseman has failed to get on base in just one game through 21 contests in July, and the lone exception was when he logged just one plate appearance as a pinch hitter against the Blue Jays on July 20. Kim has registered a .325/.438/.550 slash line, five homers, seven RBI, 20 runs, seven thefts and a 14:13 BB:K during his excellent month.

Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Gonzales is 0-for-9 with five strikeouts across his last three games, so he'll get a day off Saturday to regroup. Alika Williams will draw the start at shortstop, and Liover Peguero will man second base while Gonzales rests.

Lopez went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.

The steal was Lopez's first since May 29. He's got decent speed, though he's had trouble getting on base lately, as he's hitting just .143 over 10 contests since the All-Star break. Lopez lacks an everyday place in the lineup, instead serving as depth in the infield and left field. He has a poor .210/.322/.280 slash line with four steals, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, five doubles and three triples through 67 contests, and he's yet to hit a home run this season.

Drury (shoulder) said Saturday that he will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake this week and hopes to return Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Drury has been on the injured list since July 2 with inflammation in his left shoulder and appears to finally be nearing the end of his rehab process. The 30-year-old infielder is slashing .277/.322/.500 with 14 homers and 45 RBI on the season and figures to resume everyday duties once he returns from his assignment.

Ibanez isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

Ibanez is 4-for-17 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored across his last five games and will get a day off Saturday. Nick Maton will take over at second base and bat seventh while Ibanez rests.
