Locklear owns a .409 average and 1.162 OPS with a double, two home runs, five RBI, a walk and seven runs over the 23 plate appearances he's logged with Triple-A Tacoma since being optioned July 30.

The rookie's latest stint with the Mariners lasted just five games and 17 plate appearances, a stretch during which Locklear produced an .067 average and mammoth 47.1 percent strikeout rate. However, Locklear has looked right back in his element with the Rainiers, producing multi-hit efforts in three of his past four contests. While Justin Turner (hand) has taken a hold of the everyday role at first base since his trade to Seattle, it's still conceivable Locklear gets another look at the big-league level down the stretch if he continues to perform in a similar fashion at Tacoma.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Senzel looked as though he might move into a more prominent role for the White Sox in the aftermath of last Tuesday's trade deadline, but he's started in only four of the ensuing eight games since the deadline. Though Paul DeJong is now out of the White Sox's infield mix, the club has prioritized Lenyn Sosa over Senzel for the open spot in the infield. Senzel hasn't helped his case for earning playing time by going 3-for-27 with seven strikeouts since signing with the White Sox over the All-Star break.

Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Lee logged all nine innings behind the plate in the White Sox's 5-1 win Tuesday night, so he'll be given a rest as the two teams wrap up their series Wednesday with a day game. Chuckie Robinson will handle catching duties for Chicago.

The Rays optioned Kuhnel to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

Kuhnel tossed two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals and was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so he was an easy choice for the Rays to move off the active roster to clear room for right-hander Drew Rasmussen (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will head back to Durham after making a pair of two-inning appearances in relief following his July 30 promotion.

Canzone (thigh) played all nine innings in left field during Triple-A Tacoma's win over Reno on Tuesday, going 1-for-5.

Canzone reached another benchmark in his recovery with Tuesday's full game on defense, and he managed to extend his hitting streak during his rehab assignment to five games. Per the Associated Press, Canzone could be deemed ready for activation from the IL before the end of the Mariners' current homestand, which concludes Sunday.

The Rays reinstated Rasmussen (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Rasmussen is expected to vie for a spot in the Tampa Bay rotation in 2025, but he'll be operating as a reliever down the stretch of the current season while he makes his return from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. Though Rasmussen had a pair of Tommy John surgeries on his resume before he underwent his latest elbow operation last summer, he didn't seem to have much trouble regaining velocity or control during his rehab assignment. Over his five appearances at Triple-A Durham, Rasmussen gave up seven runs on 11 hits over 7.1 innings, but his 8:0 K:BB was encouraging. He's expected to operate as a one- or two-inning reliever for the Rays and will likely be eased back in with low-leverage work, though he could eventually push for usage in higher-leverage spots.

Jimenez (oblique) fired a scoreless inning in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sacramento on Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts.

Jimenez got through his one frame on a tidy 12 pitches, eight of which he located for strikes. The right-hander may only need to make a couple more rehab appearances before being deemed ready for activation, especially if they go as smoothly as Tuesday's did.

The Athletics designated Reyes for assignment Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Reyes was up with the big club for a week, allowing three runs (two earned) over four innings covering three relief appearances. The 31-year-old is likely to clear waivers and stick around in the organization as bullpen depth at Triple-A Las Vegas.

The Athletics placed Brown on the paternity list Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Brown will miss the next 1-to-3 games while welcoming a new addition to the family. Armando Alvarez was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Brown on the 26-man active roster.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Lowe homered in the first inning to tally his 13th long ball of the season. He's swung a hot bat since the All-Star break, maintaining a .327 average with four homers, 13 RBI and eight runs scored across 15 games. Lowe has also raised his ISO to .254 for the campaign, his highest mark since 2021.
