Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Tuesday the team will be looking for a shortstop this offseason rather than putting Fitzgerald there on an everyday basis, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Posey referenced Fitzgerald's ability to play multiple positions, perhaps an indication the Giants have the 27-year-old pegged for a super-utility role in 2025. He trailed off in September (.677 OPS), but Fitzgerald still finished with a .280/.334/.497 batting line while hitting 15 homers and stealing 17 bases over 96 games. While his position doesn't appear nailed down yet, Fitzgerald should remain an everyday player for the Giants next season.

The Brewers extended Adames a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Adames will undoubtedly decline the offer, as he's set to sign a lucrative, long-term contract in free agency this winter. Assuming that contract doesn't come from Milwaukee, the Brewers will receive a draft pick as compensation.

The Dodgers exercised Rojas' $5 million club option for 2025 on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Rojas appeared in 103 regular-season games for the Dodgers in 2024 and slashed .283/.337/.410 with six home runs and 36 RBI across 337 plate appearances. Rojas suffered a torn adductor injury during the NLDS against the Padres, which will require surgery during the offseason, but he was able to play in Game 2 of the World Series against the Yankees, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. It's unclear whether Rojas' procedure will have the 35-year-old shortstop sidelined for the start of spring training.

Kim (shoulder) declined his $8 million mutual option for 2025 on Saturday and entered free agency, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim's decision to enter free agency was an expected one after he changed agents to be represented by the Boras Corporation in early October. The 29-year-old infielder slashed just .233/.330/.370 with 47 RBI across 470 plate appearances this season and is expected to miss the first month of the 2025 campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery Oct. 11, though he should still be a safe bet to attract a salary larger than the $8 million he passed on.

The Pirates claimed Gray off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday.

Gray appeared in 15 MLB games last season between the Marlins and A's, during which he went 3-for-28 with 16 strikeouts. He fared much better in Triple-A, where he slashed .248/.317/.462 across 470 plate appearances. He'll claim a spot on the 40-man roster as he joins the Pirates organization, though he'll most likely begin the season with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 5 of the World Series against the Yankees.

Rojas was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster after missing the NLCS with an adductor injury. He started Game 2 with lefty Carlos Rodon on the mound for the Yankees but has been absent from the lineup for each of the other four contests, all versus righties. Tommy Edman will be at shortstop again for Game 5.

Volpe went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series.

Volpe's third-inning grand slam turned the tide for the Yankees and helped prevent a World Series sweep. Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells added additional home runs as the Yankees cruised to a big win. New York will attempt to stay alive and force a return to Los Angeles with a win in Game 5.

McLain is starting in center field Tuesday for the Glendale Desert Dogs during Arizona Fall League play, Doug Gray of RedlegNation.com reports.

McLain has played only second base and shortstop in pro ball, and his first five starts in the AFL came at second base. However, the outfield isn't totally foreign to the 25-year-old, as center field was his primary position in his freshman season at UCLA and he also saw some action in the corner outfield spots during college summer ball. Whether the Reds will consider using McLain in the outfield some in 2025 isn't clear, but the versatility can't hurt, especially with the club having other middle-infield options. McLain missed the entire 2024 campaign following shoulder surgery and a subsequent stress reaction in his ribcage, but he's expected to enter spring training healthy.

The Reds activated McLain (shoulder/rib) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

It's a paper move reinstating McLain to the 40-man roster, as the infielder's rehab assignment in the Arizona Fall League has technically expired. McLain missed the entire 2024 season following shoulder surgery and later a stress reaction in his rib cage, but he will enter spring training at 100 percent, barring another setback.

Rojas (thigh) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Rojas is dealing with a sports hernia which kept him out of the NLCS. While he is expected to require surgery after the season to repair the injury, he will attempt to gut it out during the World Series. Rojas is not in the lineup for Game 1, but manager Dave Roberts said Rojas will start Game 2 at shortstop versus lefty Carlos Rodon, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.
