The Orioles are expected to recall Holliday from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

He was scratched from the Triple-A Norfolk lineup Tuesday after Connor Norby was traded to the Marlins, so Holliday could be Baltimore's starting second baseman in the series finale with the Blue Jays. The promotion isn't yet official, but Holliday should play regularly while he's up with the big club. The 20-year-old middle infielder is slashing .271/.431/.477 with 10 home runs, eight steals and a 77:75 K:BB in 73 games for Norfolk. He hit .059 with zero home runs and 18 strikeouts in 10 games in the majors earlier this season.

The Cubs optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

With Isaac Paredes now active and set to take over as Chicago's primary third baseman, Mastrobuoni no longer has a place in the Cubs' infield unit and will now head back to Triple-A. The 28-year-old slashed .260/.283/.300 in 53 plate appearances after being recalled in mid-June.

The Giants recalled Luciano from Triple-A Sacramento, and he's batting sixth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Athletics.

The 22-year-old is one of San Francisco's top prospects and is expected to see regular playing time after the club traded away Jorge Soler. Luciano went 9-for-24 during his brief look in the big leagues in May and has a .243/.384/.371 slash line with eight homers at Triple-A this year.

The Tigers acquired Sweeney and catcher Thayron Liranzo from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Jack Flaherty, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Sweeney is on the move to his second organization in less than a year after the Dodgers acquired him from the Yankees in December. The 24-year-old shortstop was a first-round pick in 2021 and has a .254/.334/.427 slash line with 13 home runs and 16 steals in 96 games at the Triple-A level this season.

The Mets traded Lara to the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Huascar Brazoban, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Lara has spent the entire season with the Mets' High-A affiliate, slashing .244/.349/.343 with 29 RBI and 13 stolen bases through his first 78 games of affiliated ball. He'll presumably report to High-A Beloit upon joining his new organization.

The Blue Jays acquired Harry from the Twins on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Trevor Richards, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Harry, a sixth-round pick in 2023 who signed for $175,000, slashed .214/.306/.349 with eight home runs and five steals in 82 games for High-A Cedar Rapids. The 22-year-old saw time at six different positions for Cedar Rapids, with the majority of his starts coming at second base and shortstop.

The Royals acquired DeJong from the White Sox for right-hander Jarold Rosado on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Timesreports.

The two teams are currently in the midst of a three-game series in Chicago, so DeJong will simply head to the other clubhouse. The veteran shortstop likely won't see much time at his natural position due to the presence of Bobby Witt, but DeJong could see action at second and third base. DeJong has a .228/.275/.430 slash line with 18 homers in 102 games this season and is likely to see less consistent playing time for the Royals than he did with the last-place White Sox.

Taylor was promoted from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery on Tuesday.

The only real knock on Taylor is that he was old (22) for the level (High-A) he was at prior to this promotion. Taylor, the No. 19 overall pick in 2023, slashed .271/.391/.516 with 14 home runs, 26 steals and a 24.4 percent strikeout rate in 83 games for the Hot Rods. He saw 41 starts at shortstop, 31 starts at third base and six starts at the keystone. Third base is his most likely long-term home.

The Blue Jays selected De Los Santos' contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

With Bo Bichette (calf) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee) on the injured list and with Justin Turner having recently been traded to the Mariners, De Los Santos will help the Blue Jays replenish some depth in the infield. The 26-year-old is up in the big leagues for the first time after slashing .243/.393/.400 with three home runs and two stolen bases in 89 plate appearances with Buffalo on the season. De Los Santos is capable of playing all four infield spots.

The Cubs acquired Cowles (undisclosed) and right-hander Jack Neely from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Mark Leiter, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Cowles, 24, slashed .295/.376/.472 with nine home runs and 14 stolen bases over 88 games this season with Double-A Somerset before he was placed on the 7-day injured list Saturday with an unspecified injury. The Cubs likely aren't too concerned about the injury, given his inclusion in the trade. He can play second base, third base and shortstop and profiles as a potential utility infielder at the major-league level.
