The Cardinals released Crawford on Tuesday.

Crawford appeared in in just four games following the All-Star break and went 2-for-9 with a double and five strikeouts. The 37-year-old was signed in February to provide a veteran presence at shortstop, but rookie Masyn Winn hit the ground running this season and hasn't needed much time off. Crawford struggled in his limited opportunities at the plate and had a .169/.262/.282 slash line in 80 plate appearances.

The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Luis Guillorme, who was signed Tuesday. Alexander's latest stint in the majors lasted less than a week and he went hitless in 10 plate appearances.

Jimenez is batting eighth and playing shortstop Tuesday against the Reds.

Jimenez missed back-to-back games with a knee injury, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night. In August, Jimenez is slashing .216/.318/.514 with two homers and five doubles across 13 games.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Royals.

Neto brought the Angels to within two runs with his eighth-inning solo blast, but that was the final score tallied by either team. The shortstop went on a seven-game heater earlier in the month during which he batted .448 with four homers and 14 RBI, but he's cooled off since then with a .179 average and one homer along with 12 strikeouts over his subsequent seven contests. Overall, Neto is slashing .261/.325/.459 with 18 long balls, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases over 121 contests on the campaign.

Wilson (hamstring) is scheduled to play seven innings in a rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Wilson was able to play on consecutive days for Las Vegas over the weekend, and he's now set to suit up for the Triple-A club Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Athletics plan to have him alternate starts at designated hitter and shortstop over his next three appearances. While manager Mark Kotsay still doesn't have a timetable on Wilson's potential activation from the injured list, the skipper confirmed that the rookie wouldn't be a candidate to return until at least next week.

Newman started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 9-6 win over Miami.

Newman filled in at second base for the injured Ketel Marte (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Newman, who had seen a spike in playing time while Marte was day-to-day for the previous 10 days, should be the primary second baseman while Marte is unavailable.

Seager went 2-for-3 with two homers, four RBI and a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

The All-Star shortstop opened the game's scoring with a titanic 449-foot solo shot off Luis Ortiz in the first inning. Seager wasn't finished, returning in the third to smash a 400-foot, three-run homer off Ortiz again, accounting for all the Texas runs in the contest. The 30-year-old has found his power swing since the All-Star break, slamming nine homers while hitting .283 (32-for-113) with 20 RBI, and 18 runs scored across 29 games.

Triple-A Iowa reinstated Vazquez (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Vazquez hadn't seen any action since July 6 due to an unspecified injury prior to being activated. He's looked sharp at the dish in four games since, going 5-for-14 with three home runs.

The Mariners are hopeful Crawford will be cleared to resume taking swings later in the week, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford has been ramping up his baseball activities over the last few weeks, as he got the green light to participate in infield work Aug. 3 and began a throwing program Aug. 12. If the 29-year-old can progress to swinging a bat at some point this week, his next hurdle would likely be taking batting practice.

Ahmed was designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Ahmed has seen his playing time dwindle over the last few weeks, totaling only 24 at-bats so far in August. Following the return of Tommy Edman (wrist) and Max Muncy (oblique) from the injured list Monday, the club has elected to send the veteran shortstop to the waiver wire.
