Castillo was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Castillo has been up in the majors all season but has seen limited playing time of late, and he'll head to the minors while in the midst of a 2-for-19 slump. Overall the 24-year-old has a .201/.245/.368 slash line with 10 home runs and 25 RBI in 84 games this year. Bryan Reynolds was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win against the Marlins.

Lindor singled home a run in the third inning and slammed a 424-foot solo homer in the eighth. He finished with his fourth three-hit performance of the campaign and notched his first long ball of the second half. Lindor has hit safely in 17 of his past 18 contests and is slashing .329/.395/.575 with four homers, 12 RBI and a stolen base over that span.

Diaz went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk in a 5-4 loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

Diaz homered off Chris Flexen in the bottom of the fifth inning for his third home run over the last two games. Diaz has put together an impressive July, slashing .286/.351/.600 in 70 at-bats. The utility player now has nine home runs and 25 RBI on the season and is producing out of the bottom third of the lineup. It is worth monitoring to see if he can build on his momentum in August.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

Turner stretched his hitting streak to 17 games with a third-inning solo shot. In that span, he's gone 26-for-73 (.356) as he continues to be one of the most consistent hitters in the league. The superstar shortstop is slashing .310/.353/.505 with 16 long balls, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored and 18 stolen bases through 100 contests in his first full year with the Dodgers.

Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Camargo was the odd man out after the Phillies acquired Edmundo Sosa from the Cardinals on Saturday. Camargo has spent the majority of the season in the majors and was hitting .237/.297/.316 across 166 plate appearances.

Seager (lower leg) could require a stint on the injured list, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Seager exited Thursday's game after fouling a ball off his leg, though the team downplayed the nature of the injury. However, he hasn't been in the lineup since, and on Saturday manager Chris Woodward said that Seager's availability is "hour by hour." Ezequiel Duran and Charlie Culberson have picked up playing time in Seager's absence.

Anderson is appealing a three-game suspension for making contact with the home plate umpire during Friday's game against the Athletics, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

The 29-year-old was ejected from Friday's matchup after exchanging words with the home plate umpire, and his helmet made contact with the umpire's head. Anderson will be available while appealing his suspension, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss at least a few games in the near future since he was also suspended for a similar incident in 2021.

Seager (lower leg) isn't starting Saturday against the Angels.

Seager fouled a ball off his right leg Thursday and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a contusion. Marcus Semien is shifting to shortstop while Ezequiel Duran starts at second base.

Fletcher isn't starting Saturday against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher started the last two games and went 2-for-7 with a double and a strikeout. Luis Rengifo is shifting to second base while Andrew Velazquez starts at shortstop.

Abrams (biceps) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Saturday against the Twins.

Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop while Jake Cronenworth gets the day off. Abrams, who officially exhausted his prospect status due to days on the active roster, is hitting .300/.313/.433 with one home run, zero steals, five strikeouts and zero walks in 30 at-bats this month. He's expected to serve as a super-utility option for the Padres moving forward, with the role likely to translate to a handful of starts per week.
