The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

The Cardinals had plenty of holes to fill after unloading their roster prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, and Fermin will come up from Memphis to provide depth in St. Louis' infield. The 24-year-old is slashing .200/.347/.450 through 49 plate appearances in Triple-A.

Bae (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Bae has been on the shelf since July 2 and is now set to begin the final stage of his recovery process. The Pirates haven't specified how long they will keep Bae on assignment, but he figures to be ready to return during Pittsburgh's weekend series with the Brewers.

The Pirates selected Capra's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Capra was traded from Toronto to Pittsburgh in late April and has since slashed .350/.457/.485 through 127 plate appearances with Indianapolis. The 27-year-old's defensive versatility could get him into the Pirates' lineup occasionally if his bat holds up in the majors.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

It'll likely be a short stay in the big leagues for the 27-year-old since trade-acquisition Paul DeJong should soon join his new team. Clement has played in just 12 MLB games this season and is 3-for-7 with a stolen base, two RBI and three runs.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

The Guardians are facing a tough lefty (Framber Valdez) on Tuesday, so Cleveland manager Terry Francona likely viewed the game as an optimal time to give the lefty-hitting Gimenez just his second day off since the All-Star break. Tyler Freeman will spell Gimenez at second base and bat second.

The Brewers traded Urias to the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Bradley Blalock, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

After a disappointing start to the season, the Brewers optioned Urias to Triple-A Nashville at the end of June. Since then, Urias has slashed .250/.392/.447 with four homers. It's unclear whether the Red Sox plan on keeping Urias in the minors or adding him to their MLB bench, but he could factor into the mix at second base down the stretch.

The Mets acquired Jackson from the Angels on Tuesday in exchange for Dominic Leone, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Jackson represents a nice return for a rental reliever, as the infielder was a second-round selection in the 2018 MLB First-Year Player Draft and had posted a .768 OPS with 15 home runs and 21 steals through 82 games this season at Double-A Rocket City. The 23-year-old infielder will presumably join up with the Double-A affiliate of the Mets in Binghamton.

Donovan will undergo season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair the flexor strain in his right arm, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Donovan hasn't been able to play the field since late June because of the lingering flexor strain, and the out-of-contention Cardinals will go ahead and address the issue now rather than waiting until the offseason. The 26-year-old super-utilityman is expected to be ready for the beginning of spring training in 2024. He finishes the 2023 campaign with a .281/.362/.419 batting line across 371 plate appearances.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Toronto.

Frazier started the previous four games and will take a seat Tuesday after he went 3-for-13 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs. Jordan Westburg will man the keystone and bat sixth against Blue Jays southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu.

Stefanic was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Stefanic has always been known for a strong hit tool and little else, and while he hit .349 at Triple-A this season, he only hit .190 with zero home runs in 25 MLB plate appearances. He was replaced on the active roster by Jordyn Adams.
