Turner wasn't traded and was instead removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies with an apparent injury, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Turner's exit after the top of the first inning fueled trade rumors, but he appeared to suffer an injury while running the bases. The 27-year-old's status should be updated before the end of the evening.

Baez (heel) was removed from Tuesday's lineup against the Reds, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The 28-year-old was initially deemed good to go for Tuesday's contest after not starting Monday, but he apparently requires at least another day out of the lineup while his left heel recovers. Baez should be considered day-to-day for now, and the Cubs figure to provide an update on his condition no later than Wednesday afternoon. Nico Hoerner enters the lineup to play shortstop in his place.

Baez (heel) is batting cleanup and playing shortstop Tuesday against the Reds.

A bruised heel shortened Baez's Sunday and kept him out of Monday's lineup, but he entered the series opener to hit a walk-off single in his only plate appearance. He's started 10 games since the All-Star break, hitting .275 with one home run, eight RBI and three stolen bases.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Berti (concussion) has resumed light baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti appears to have made only slight progress in his recovery from a concussion, an injury that resulted in him being placed on the 7-day injured list Friday. He likely won't be on track to return for this weekend's series against the Yankees, which is when he'll be first eligible.

The Brewers will recall Reyes from Triple-A Nashville prior to Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

He'll join the active roster as a replacement for Jace Peterson, who was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list after being deemed a close contact of Christian Yelich, who tested positive for the virus. While he's up with Milwaukee, Reyes is expected to serve as a utility man, with most of his starting opportunities likely to come against left-handed pitching.

Castillo and Hoy Park were traded from the Yankees to the Pirates on Monday in exchange for right-hander Clay Holmes.

Castillo advanced to Double-A Somerset to begin the season, and he's slashed .277/.345/.504 with 11 homers, 44 runs, 32 RBI and seven stolen bases across 58 games. The 23-year-old will likely report to Double-A Altoona.

Baez (heel) is out of the lineup Monday against the Reds.

Baez was removed from Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks due to the injury and will be out of the lineup for at least one contest. Manager David Ross initially labeled it a lower body injury, but it's apparently a bruised heel that cropped up when he stepped awkwardly on a base, per Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago. Nico Hoerner will shift to shortstop Monday while David Bote starts at the keystone.

Mets acting general manager Zack Scott said Monday that he believes the right oblique strain that landed Lindor on the 10-day injured list July 17 is a 3-to-5-week injury, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

If that recovery timeline is accurate, Lindor won't be ready to return to action until the Mets' Aug. 6 to 8 series in Philadelphia, in a best-case scenario. Before the Mets are able to pin down a more defined target date for Lindor's return, he'll first have to resume baseball activities. Lindor has yet to take any meaningful steps forward in his recovery since being shut down with the oblique strain just over a week ago.

DeJong is hitting .359 (14-for-39) with a double, three home runs, seven RBI, two walks and nine runs over his last 12 games.

DeJong went 3-for-8 with an RBI and two runs over the last two games of the three-game weekend set against the Reds, keeping his average over the Mendoza Line (.203) for the time being. The slugging shortstop's recent surge at the plate was long overdue, considering he was hitting a miserable .157 as recently as June 24.

The Cardinals promoted Winn from Low-A Palm Beach to High-A Peoria on Monday.

Winn will be joined in Peoria by outfielder Todd Lott and lefty pitcher Kevin Marnon, both of whom also received promotions Monday. A 2020 second-round pick, Winn is the clear top prospect of the trio, and one of the more impressive talents in the lower levels of the minors. In his first taste of professional ball at Palm Beach, Winn slashed .262/.370/.388 with three home runs and a 16-for-18 success rate on stolen-base attempts across 284 plate appearances. The 19-year-old shortstop possesses the athleticism and arm to stick at the position over the long haul, and he should tap into more power as he adds strength to his 5-foot-11, 180-pound frame.
