    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting for second straight game

    Durbin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Durbin is on the bench for the second day in a row, but the Brewers have yet to indicate that his absence is the result of an injury. Anthony Seigler will pick up another start at third base at Durbin's expense after going 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 8-2 win.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Could return Monday

    Muncy (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Muncy has gone 3-for-12 with a walk, a run and an RBI over four games during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. After manning third base in those contests, Muncy is scheduled to serve as Oklahoma City's designated hitter Sunday, and the Dodgers will reassess him after the contest. Once he's cleared to return, Muncy should displace rookie Alex Freeland as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman.

    Reds' Miguel Andujar: Late addition to lineup

    Andujar is replacing Gavin Lux in Saturday's starting lineup against Atlanta, batting fifth and playing left field, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Lux was originally slated to start against righty Spencer Strider, but Strider was scratched as a result of a lengthy weather delay. Atlanta is now deploying lefty Austin Cox as an opener, and the Reds are countering by swapping in the righty-hitting Andujar for the lefty-hitting Lux.

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Getting Saturday off

    Durbin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

    Durbin will catch a breather Saturday after going 3-for-6 with two runs scored during Friday's high-scoring victory. Anthony Seigler will replace him at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Placed on injured list

    The Cardinals placed Arenado on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder strain.

    Arenado's shoulder has been bothering him for about a month, which was reflected in his .175/.230/.211 slash line for the month of July. He'll now take at least 10 days to recover from his strain properly; meanwhile, Nolan Gorman (back) will return from the injured list to take Arenado's place at the hot corner.

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Will be placed on IL

    The Cardinals are expected to place Arenado on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Padres due to a right shoulder injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran third baseman played through the injury for most of July, which may have affected him at the plate as he had a .175/.230/.211 slash line in 17 games during the month. Arenado will be eligible for reinstatement August 10 but is without an official timeline for his return.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Homers in Reds debut

    Hayes went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-11 loss to Atlanta.

    After homering just once in 392 plate appearances with the Pirates this year, Hayes went deep in his first game with the Reds, kick-starting Cincinnati's rally in an eight-run eighth inning. Hayes, whose previous homer came June 10, is slashing .235/.278/.297 with 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 stolen bases this season. While Hayes plays excellent defense at third base, he could find himself in a part-time role after the Reds made another trade for Miguel Andujar on Thursday.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Padres' Will Wagner: Optioned to minors

    Wagner was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

    Wagner was dealt from the Blue Jays to the Padres on Thursday but is currently blocked by both Ryan O'Hearn and Gavin Sheets. That leaves him without a spot in the big leagues, though that could change prior to the close of the regular season. Across 132 plate appearances with Toronto, Wagner hit .237/.336/.298 with a 15:26 BB:K.

  • Parks Harber 3B | SF

    Giants' Parks Harber: Traded to Giants

    Harber (undisclosed) was traded from the Yankees to the Giants on Thursday along with Jesus Rodriguez and Trystan Vrieling in exchange for Camilo Doval, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Harber has been on the injured list since mid-June with an undisclosed injury. Prior to that, the 23-year-old corner infielder slashed .326/.395/.489 with three home runs and two steals in 34 games at High-A.

  • Miguel Andujar RF | CIN

    Reds' Miguel Andujar: Dealt to Cincy

    The Reds acquired Andujar from the Athletics on Thursday in exchange for right-hander Kenya Huggins, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    After hitting two home runs Wednesday in what will end up being his final game with the Athletics, Andujar will pack his bags and leave for Cincinnati. Although the Reds acquired Ke'Bryan Hayes from Pittsburgh on Wednesday and will likely lean on him as its primary third baseman. Andujar's .765 OPS should make him a viable backup option on days when the Reds want to prioritize offense at the hot corner. Andujar is also capable of playing either corner-outfield spot as well as designated hitter, though his right-handedness could force him to settle for the short side of a platoon with Jake Fraley, Gavin Lux or Will Benson.
