Morel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.

Morel went yard in his second at-bat as a Ray, tagging Edward Cabrera for a solo homer in the fourth inning. Morel drew the start at second base Tuesday, his first time playing the position this season after working as a third baseman and DH for the Cubs. Tuesday's homer was Morel's 19th of the season, and he's slashing .199/.303/.380 with 52 RBI and 45 runs across 426 plate appearances.

Marte went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 17-0 win over Washington.

Like the summer months in Arizona, Marte's bat is sizzling with multiple hits in 10 of his last 14 starts. He's gone 24-for-53 (.453) with seven home runs during that run. The hot bat stretches further back to the beginning of June; Marte is slashing .359/.439/.653 with 14 homers and 43 RBI over 47 games since June 2.

The Orioles transferred Mateo (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Mateo was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left elbow subluxation and he will now be forced to miss two months of action while recovering. He'll be eligible to return from the IL in late September if he's able to avoid any setbacks. With Mateo unavailable, top prospect Jackson Holliday is set to be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to join the major-league roster in Baltimore on Wednesday ahead of the team's series finale with the Blue Jays. Holliday will likely take over as the Orioles' primary second baseman.

The Royals optioned Loftin to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old will lose his place on the big-league roster after the Royals acquired Paul DeJong from the White Sox on Tuesday. Loftin has a .199/.294/.248 slash line with one homer in 55 MLB games this season.

The Pirates acquired Kiner-Falefa (knee) from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for infielder/outfielder Charles McAdoo, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Kiner-Falefa is currently on the injured list due to a left knee sprain, though he played in two rehab games over the weekend and should soon be ready to be reinstated. The utility man is in the midst of the most productive campaign of his MLB career with seven home runs and a .292/.338/.420 slash line through 82 games. He should see significant action at second base since Nick Gonzales (groin) is facing an extended absence, but Kiner-Falefa could also log starts at the hot corner, given Ke'Bryan Hayes' weak .591 OPS this season.

The Angels recalled Stefanic from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

He's taking the roster spot of the injured Anthony Rendon (back). Stefanic could see some action in the infield, especially if the Angels wind up trading Luis Rengifo.

The Marlins added Hensley to the 26-man roster Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins claimed Hensley from the Astros on Monday, and with Miami making a slew of trades at the deadline, Hensley will immediately join the active roster. It's unclear if the utility man will stick around long-term or just serve as a fill-in option until Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby arrive from Baltimore.

The Marlins acquired Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Norby was one of Baltimore's top prospects and had recently been operating as the club's primary second baseman, but he's now making his way to Miami. The 24-year-old has a .594 OPS in his first nine big-league games but has a .300/.392/.522 slash line with 16 home runs and 13 steals in 80 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season. Norby should have a regular spot in the lineup for the Marlins the rest of the way, which offers him a more secure outlook than he had in the Orioles' crowded infield.

Polanco (knee) started at second base and went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a loss to the Red Sox on Monday.

Polanco was replaced defensively by Leo Rivas to start the sixth inning, but the veteran infielder seemed to tolerate his time in the game well after exiting Sunday's win over the White Sox with a knee injury. Polanco did see a four-game hitting streak snapped, but the RBI he mustered on his sac fly was his sixth in the last four contests.

The Red Sox are considering optioning Grissom (hamstring) to Triple-A Worcester following the conclusion of his minor-league rehab assignment, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Grissom has to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list by Aug. 9, but the Red Sox may be inclined to leave him at Worcester at that time rather than clearing a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. The 23-year-old has slashed a woeful .148/.207/.160 in 23 contests with the Red Sox this season and is hitting just .231/.333/.269 so far in seven rehab games with Worcester.
