Yorke (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Tuesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Yorke is currently on the Triple-A injured list and hasn't played since June 17 due to a shoulder issue. The 24-year-old opened the season with the Pirates but slashed just .197/.279/.276 with four extra-base hits, six RBI, six runs scored and a 7:17 BB:K across 86 trips to the plate before being demoted.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Ruiz will get a breather Tuesday after going 2-for-4 with a run scored during Monday's series opener. Harry Ford will fill in as Washington's backstop and bat fifth.

Chaparro (head) will start at first base and bat second Tuesday against the Phillies.

Chaparro took a pitch off his head Sunday before missing out on the starting nine Monday, though he was able to enter Monday's contest as a pinch hitter. Now having recovered from the incident, the 27-year-old will return to the starting nine and aim to remain productive after slashing .310/.412/.897 with five homers, 14 RBI and nine runs in 13 games since the All-Star break.

Bauers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates due to abdominal soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Bauers has recorded at least one hit in each of his last nine games, but the Brewers will be without his services for at least Tuesday's contest. Andrew Vaughn will step in as Milwaukee's new starting first baseman and could be in line for more starts if Bauers' injury keeps him out beyond Tuesday.

Bericoto (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bericoto has been on the shelf since July 10 due to a strained left oblique, but he has finally been given the green light to test his oblique in a game setting. He'll likely require a handful of tune-up games before returning from the injured list, putting him on track to return sometime in mid-August.

Lord (side) began a rehab assignment Saturday at Triple-A Rochester, striking out two batters over a perfect inning.

Lord has been on the injured list since July 9 due to left side tightness, but he'll likely need just one or two more appearances in the minors before getting the green light to rejoin the Washington bullpen. Before getting hurt, the right reliever turned in a 3.88 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 58 innings while gathering five wins, one save and four holds.

King (oblique) has gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, one walk, four runs and two RBI in three games for Triple-A Rochester after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

King missed just under a month while recovering from a left oblique strain. The 23-year-old shortstop has generated a .308/.386/.505 slash line with 10 home runs and nine stolen bases across 322 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

Eldridge isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to a bruised left thumb, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Eldridge said he suffered the bruise after getting jammed a couple of times last week, and the injury also helps to explain why he was absent from Monday's lineup. He'll be available to serve as a pinch runner Tuesday and is expected to return to the starting nine in Wednesday's series finale. In the meantime, Buddy Kennedy will serve as San Francisco's DH and bat sixth.

The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

The Dodgers acquired Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt through trades Monday to serve as replacements for Robinson and Eliezer Alfonzo on the active roster. Robinson was up with the Dodgers for just a day as a temporary depth piece due to Dalton Rushing (elbow) hitting the 10-day injured list Monday.

The Dodgers selected Rortvedt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

With Dalton Rushing (elbow) joining Will Smith (neck) on the injured list Monday, the Dodgers moved quickly to add catching depth to the organization. The Dodgers made trades prior to Monday's deadline to bring in Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia, both of whom will be activated for Tuesday's game against the Cubs. Though he's spent the entire 2026 campaign to date in the minors, Rortvedt saw big-league action each of the previous four seasons, including at the tail end of 2025 with the Dodgers. Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts said that Rortvedt is expected to see the "lion's share" of the starts over Feduccia for the time being, with the Dodgers seemingly placing value on Rortvedt's defensive and game-calling skills. Rortvedt has been an easy out at the big-league level, batting just .190 with nine home runs in 227 career games.
