D'Arnaud was released from Triple-A Nashville, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

D'Arnaud was hitting just .164 over 45 games for the Sounds. The 32-year-old infielder is free to sign with another team.

Anderson went 1-for-5 with a double and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

Anderson has a modest six-game hitting streak, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three extra-base hits. The stolen-base attempt was his first try in 13 games, and he hasn't had a successful attempt since June 2. He's sitting on 15 steals and should achieve a second straight season with at least 20 thefts.

Story had X-rays on his right thumb come back negative after exiting Wednesday's game at Arizona, Troy Renck of ABC 7 Denver reports.

Story sustained the injury on a headfirst slide into second base when he appeared to jam his thumb as he reached the bag. The 26-year-old looks as though he avoided a fracture, but he's also likely to undergo an MRI.

Story exited Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks with an apparent hand injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Story appeared to suffer the injury on a headfirst slide into second base during the top of the sixth inning, as he did not retake the field for the bottom of the frame. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury is determined, while Pat Valaika took over at shortstop for the Rockies.

Crawford is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford started the last 11 games at shortstop but struggled with a .488 OPS in 38 at-bats, so he'll take a seat with lefty Rich Hill on the mound for Los Angeles. Donovan Solano enters the lineup in his absence.

Manager Ned Yost said Mondesi (groin) feels the same Wednesday as he did Tuesday, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi exited Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to right groin tightness. While his removal was deemed precautionary, it sounds like the issue is still bothering the shortstop. He didn't do any work on the field prior to Wednesday's game, suggesting he may not be available off the bench for the series finale. How Mondesi feels in the coming days will likely determine whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.

Mondesi (groin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Mondesi left Tuesday's game with groin tightness. His exit was considered precautionary, but he'll sit for at least one game. It's not clear if he'll be available off the bench. Nicky Lopez slides to shortstop in his absence.

Herrera was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, Craig Mish of FNTSY reports.

The Marlins need to clear a roster spot for the addition of Zac Gallen, who will have his contract purchased ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Cardinals. Herrera didn't stake a particularly firm claim to a roster spot, hitting just .200/.288/.314 in 63 games and posting the exact same .602 OPS he recorded in his debut season.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wendle has managed only one hit in 17 at-bats in his first five games back from the 10-day injured list, but he should continue to benefit from at least semi-regular action after the Rays moved corner infielder Yandy Diaz (hamstring) to the IL on Wednesday. The Rays may continue to confine the lefty-swinging Wendle to the bench versus southpaws, however, as will be the case in the series finale with CC Sabathia on the hill for New York.

Story went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in the Rockies' 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Story stayed locked in at the dish in this contest, as he smacked his 20th double of the season as part of his fourth straight multi-hit performance. The recent hot streak brings his slash line up to an excellent .294/.360/.549 to go along with 17 homers and 48 RBI through 293 at-bats.
