San Diego acquired Workman and right-hander Casey Mize from Detroit on Monday in exchange for left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Workman will join the fourth organization of his career after stops with the Tigers, Cubs and White Sox. The 26-year-old was added to the Tigers' 40-man roster May 10 and struggled in his brief time in the majors earlier this season, batting just .158 while striking out in 16 of 38 plate appearances. Workman has been productive at Triple-A Toledo, however, posting an .868 OPS with 11 home runs and 20 steals in 82 games. The Padres haven't indicated if he'll head to Triple-A El Paso or report to the big club, where he could be a valuable bench piece due to his ability to play all three outfield spots and multiple infield positions.

Chaparro (head) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Despite passing concussion tests after he made an early exit from Sunday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta when he was struck in the helmet by a pitch, Chaparro will be kept on the bench for the series opener in Philadelphia. Even though the Nationals traded Luis Garcia to the Yankees following Sunday's contest, Chaparro could end up sticking in his short-side platoon role at first base rather than seeing a major uptick in an opportunities against right-handed pitching. Washington recalled the left-handed-hitting Abimelec Ortiz from Triple-A Rochester on Monday, and he'll step in at first base right away in the Nationals' first game post-Garcia while right-hander Aaron Nola toes the slab for the Phillies.

The Cardinals acquired Ferguson from the Reds on Monday in exchange for $250,000 in international bonus pool money, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Ferguson will help the bullpen from the left side after the Cardinals traded JoJo Romero (abdomen) earlier Monday. The 30-year-old Ferguson has collected a 4.01 ERA and 22:11 K:B over 24.2 frames for the Reds this season and is an impending free agent.

The Marlins traded May and Connor Norby to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Victor Vodnik, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

May was a good-not-great prospect with the Marlins, but most of the fantasy intrigue is out the window now that his future home park is Coors Field. The 23-year-old righty has a 3.80 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 58:24 K:BB in 68.2 innings at High-A this year.

Crews is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Crews will get a breather for the series opener in Philadelphia after he went 3-for-16 with a stolen base, a run and an RBI while starting in Washington's last four games. The Nationals will go with an outfield of Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood from left to right Monday.

The Marlins traded Norby and Aiden May to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Victor Vodnik, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Norby, who was optioned to Triple-A on June 26, has a .234/.302/.383 slash line with 21 home runs, 17 steals and 0.8 fWAR in 198 career games in the majors. He played 43 games at first base, 13 games at third base and 12 games at designated hitter with Miami.

San Diego acquired Mize and infielder Gage Workman from Detroit on Monday in exchange for left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Mize is the second addition of the day to the Padres' starting rotation, after the team acquired Robbie Ray from the Giants earlier Monday. The 29-year-old Mize has posted career-best numbers this season, registering a 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB in 86.2 innings. Mize is on an expiring deal and will look to aid the Padres' playoff push and finish the season on a high note with the hope of securing a lucrative payday in free agency.

The Nationals traded Mitchell, Josh Hartle, Will Dion and Kendeglys Virguez to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for Foster Griffin, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell, a 22-year-old outfielder, is slashing .240/.358/.360 with five home runs, 19 steals, a 14.6 percent walk rate and a 16.4 percent strikeout rate in 75 games at Double-A.

The Guardians traded Dion, Josh Hartle, Kendeglys Virguez and Nick Mitchell to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for Foster Griffin, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Dion, a 5-foot-10 southpaw, has a 4.58 ERA in 19.2 innings this year out of the big-league bullpen, but his fielding-independent metrics are quite a bit better (2.53 SIERA) thanks to a 29.4 percent strikeout rate and 3.5 percent walk rate. He was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday but could quickly join the Nationals at the big-league level.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

After starting in each of the last seven games and going 8-for-24 with one stolen base, five RBI and four runs, the left-handed-hitting Crawford will retreat to the bench while the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the bump. Derek Hill will spell Crawford in center field and will bat eighth.
