The Reds signed Arcia to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Arcia hit .271/.300/.354 in 19 games with the Twins earlier this season and posted an .834 OPS in 63 contests with Triple-A St. Paul. The 32-year-old will provide veteran infield depth at Triple-A Louisville.

Betts went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two walks, four RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 loss to the Cardinals.

Betts has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 14-for-43 (.326) in that span. He accounted for all of the Dodgers' damage off Michael McGreevy in this contest. The late surge has helped Betts recoup a little fantasy value late in the year after a rough start to the campaign. Overall, he's batting .242 with a .715 OPS, 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 18 doubles, 52 runs scored and one stolen base over 101 games.

Neto went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

Neto has gone 21-for-55 (.381) with eight extra-base hits and three steals over his last 13 games. It's a return to productivity for the shortstop after he endured some struggles in late July and early August. He's batting .238 with a .753 OPS, 23 home runs, 19 steals, 66 RBI, 88 runs scored, 28 doubles and four triples over 134 contests this season.

Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.

Ortiz provided some late insurance by taking Tyler Ferguson deep for a two-run homer in the eighth inning. He's now recorded multiple hits in three of his last six games as his season numbers continue to climb. Ortiz is now batting .256 with a .711 OPS, eight homers, 12 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, 40 runs and nine steals across 349 plate appearances.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a two-run single, a steal and a run scored during Tuesday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.

Abrams was scratched from Monday's lineup against Miami due to back tightness, but he was cleared to return to action for Tuesday's series opener. He got the Nationals on the board early in the second inning with a two-run single before being brought home later in the frame on a Brady House double. Abrams has an .852 OPS with 27 steals, 29 home runs and 94 RBI over 570 plate appearances this season.

Abrams (back) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Abrams was scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener due to back tightness, but it was apparently a minor concern since he's back in the starting nine a day later. The 25-year-old was struggling at the plate to finish August, batting .106 (5-for-47) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 12 games.

The Angels recalled Paris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Paris has slashed .307/.427/.554 with 13 home runs and 16 stolen bases across 288 plate appearances through 62 games since getting promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on June 9. The 24-year-old got a run of 44 games for the Angels in 2025, when he slashed .190/.266/.381 with six home runs and seven stolen bases across 139 plate appearances. He will look to improve upon that in September and may see action at second base, shortstop, left field and center field.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Tovar will move to the bench for a second time in three games after recording just one hit and five strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats. Cole Carrigg will shift to shortstop to cover for Tovar while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak start across the outfield.

Correa (ankle) has been cleared to continue ramping up his rehab at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Coming back from left ankle surgery, Correa said Tuesday that he's been sprinting at 95 percent effort, fielding grounders and doing everything hitting-wise aside from facing live pitching. He is due to face live pitching in Florida and will also progress to running the bases and sliding. It was presumed when he had surgery in May that Correa's season was over, but he has a real chance to return later this month.

The Twins selected Ross's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Ross has slashed .274/.378/.506 with 20 homers and 20 steals between Double-A Wichita and St. Paul this season to earn his first big-league promotion. The 25-year-old can play all over the diamond, giving the Twins depth at multiple positions.
