Bogaerts was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent foot injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts fouled a ball off his foot during his plate appearance in the seventh inning. He was initially able to remain in the game but was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. He'll likely be sent in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Padres may have more information on his status after the game.

King (oblique) has gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, one walk, four runs and two RBI in three games for Triple-A Rochester after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

King missed just under a month while recovering from a left oblique strain. The 23-year-old shortstop has generated a .308/.386/.505 slash line with 10 home runs and nine stolen bases across 322 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

The Giants selected Leonard's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Leonard will grab one of the roster spots vacated following Monday's trade deadline. The 25-year-old has slashed .272/.361/.509 with 16 homers at the Triple-A level in 2026. Leonard has experience at every position other than pitcher and catcher, and he will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Tovar went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 13-9 loss to the Rays.

Tovar couldn't be stopped at the plate, logging a season-high four hits. The shortstop's solo homer in the third inning marked his first long ball since July 6, with the 25-year-old hitting a measly .098 in 17 games during the drought. It's been a challenging 2026 for Tovar, who's slashing .202/.247/.330 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 38 runs and five stolen bases across 104 contests.

Atlanta designated Mateo for assignment Monday.

Mateo has slashed .240/.285/.380 this season and has started only one game since the All-Star break. With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) returning from the injured list Monday, Atlanta has opted to drop Mateo from its 40-man roster.

Atlanta activated Kim (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kim had been shelved since July 4 due to right middle finger inflammation. He's gone just 5-for-73 (.068 average) in the majors this season and slashed an underwhelming .216/.355/.353 in 16 rehab contests. Jim Jarvis remains on the active roster and could continue to serve as Atlanta's primary shortstop over Kim.

Kent and Henry Lalane were traded from the Yankees to the Giants on Monday in exchange for Heliot Ramos, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Lalane is the headliner in the return for San Francisco. Kent, who has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since July 5, has a .302/.359/.433 slash line with six home runs, 20 steals, a 16.1 percent strikeout rate and a 107 wRC+ in 76 games as a 22-year-old at High-A. He has played 41 games at shortstop, 25 games at second base and eight games at third base this year.

The Mets acquired Rojas from the Cubs on Monday in exchange for right-hander Clay Holmes (fibula) and outfielder Tyrone Taylor, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Considering Holmes is headed for free agency this winter and Taylor projects as a reserve outfielder, coughing up Rojas -- arguably the top prospect in the organization, albeit in a weak farm system -- is a hefty price for the Cubs to pay. The 21-year-old shortstop has shown a solid all-around skill set at Double-A Knoxville this season, chipping in 15 home runs and 17 stolen bases while maintaining a .270 average and 16.4 percent clip over 390 plate appearances.

Pratt is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Pirates.

Pratt appears to be receiving a routine day off after starting in each of the previous eight contests. The Brewers will go with Joey Ortiz at shortstop in Monday's series opener.

The Mets acquired Stafura from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for right-hander Luke Weaver and cash considerations, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Stafura will be on the move for the second trade deadline in a row, after the Pirates previously acquired him last July as part of the deal that sent third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to Cincinnati. A 21-year-old shortstop, Stafura possess good range at the position but may need to eventually move down the positional spectrum to second base or center field. Stafura had been enjoying a strong season at the plate for High-A Greensboro, mashing 19 home runs and going 16-for-17 on stolen-base attempts while slashing .301/.365/.656 over 211 plate appearances.
