Arenado (shoulder) was scheduled to meet the Cardinals in Miami and will be evaluated by team doctors Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado has been rehabbing his right shoulder strain at the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, FL, and made the short trip to Miami to join the club. It does not seem as though Arenado's activation from the 10-day injured list is imminent, but the Cardinals expect to have a clearer picture of his timetable after he meets with team doctors. Arenado has been sidelined for the entirety of August.

Atlanta recalled Seabold from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Seabold was claimed off waivers earlier this month and is now headed to the majors. The right-hander has permitted one run with a 5:3 K:BB over 6.2 frames at the big-league level this season. Seabold has made 10 starts in 2025 at the Triple-A level, so he has the ability to eat up some innings out of the bullpen.

Atlanta recalled Dunning from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Dunning has been torched for nine runs over 5.2 innings during his time with Atlanta. He will give the bullpen some length.

Atlanta optioned Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Stratton has tossed six scoreless innings during his time with Atlanta -- which includes a three-inning save in his last appearance -- but will nonetheless head back to the minors to make room for another reliever.

Atlanta optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Hernandez has managed a 2.72 ERA in 36.1 innings this season, but a 33:30 K:BB doesn't paint a pretty picture. He'll report to Gwinnett as Atlanta adds a fresh bullpen arm in his place.

Miley (forearm) visited Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Monday and is still trying to determine his next move, MLB.com reports.

Miley was pulled from a rehab assignment after experiencing soreness during a start last Friday. That the left-hander is pondering his next move suggests the doctor offered multiple go-forward scenarios and that the soreness may not be normal. Reds manager Terry Francona said the team will "support whatever he does." This implies that Miley will not be a fantasy factor over the final weeks of the regular season.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a double in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

Rather than as a result of his performance, Marte drew more attention Monday when he spoke to the media prior to the contest and addressed a recent article in The Arizona Republic that suggested teammates and others in the organization have been irked about the second baseman's propensity to take days off. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Marte said through an interpreter that his absences from the lineup have been largely "integrated with the coaching staff and myself, in order to keep me on the field the longest." Marte has received some occasional days off since returning to action in early May after a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, and he also missed the Diamondbacks' first three games of the second half after his home was burglarized during the All-Star Game. Any controversy pertaining to Marte's tendency to take days off hasn't affected his performance; he's slashing .309/.396/.515 with four home runs, eight doubles, one steal, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored over 25 games in the second half.

Smith started at first base and went 0-for-2 before being lifted for a pinch hitter in Monday's 3-1 loss to Cleveland.

Smith was activated off the injured list Monday and was in the lineup against a right-hander. He was eventually pinch hit for against a lefty reliever by the right-handed batting Tyler Locklear, who had served as the primary first baseman since the Diamondbacks traded Josh Naylor. The two could operate as a platoon at the cold corner while Arizona is nominally a competitor for the postseason. At some point, the organization may want to see if the 24-year-old Locklear is a long-term solution.

Moreno (finger) will catch back-to-back games for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The two-game set will serve as a final test before Moreno is activated. He's alternated between catcher and DH over his first four rehab appearances but hasn't caught a full nine-inning game. Presumably, in addition to catching back-to-back, the Diamondbacks want to see him on the field for full games in both.

Gorman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Marlins.

Gorman waited until the ninth inning to notch his first hit, but he made it count with a two-run blast off Josh Simpson that put the game out of reach. Filling in regularly at third base with Nolan Arenado (shoulder) sidelined, Gorman has held his own in August, slashing .250/.365/.477 with a double, three homers and nine RBI across 14 games.
