The Dodgers are expected to recall Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Monday's contest against the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports.

He'll replace Austin Barnes, who is headed to the 10-day injured list. Feduccia, 27, had one plate appearance with the Dodgers earlier this season and has posted an .848 OPS with six homers this year at Oklahoma City. He will serve as Will Smith's backup.

Call went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The 29-year-old outfielder has three homers in 99 big-league plate appearances this year, and two of them came in back-to-back games this weekend. Call has cooled down a bit since he reeled off six straight multi-hit performances earlier this month, going just 5-for-25 (.200) since with a 1:6 BB:K, but four of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

Barnes is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game versus the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports.

Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Barnes took a foul ball off his left big toe during Sunday's win over the Cardinals. It's uncertain whether he's dealing with a fracture or is just sore. Barnes will be eligible to come off the IL at the end of August but it's not clear if he might be ready at that time. Hunter Feduccia will be called up to serve as the Dodgers' backup catcher behind Will Smith.

Wood went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The 21-year-old rookie continues to make life miserable for opposing pitchers, with his fifth long ball of the season coming off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning. Over his last 21 games, Wood is slashing a stunning .373/.472/.640 with 11 extra-base hits (five doubles, three triples, three homers), four steals, 15 RBI and 18 runs.

Ruiz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The catcher got the Nationals on the board in the fourth inning by driving a Taijuan Walker pitch deep to right field. Ruiz is putting together a strong month of August, slashing .283/.321/.547 through 14 games with four of his 12 homers on the season, as well as eight runs and nine RBI.

The Marlins selected Oller's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Oller will start Monday's contest against the Diamondbacks after posting a 2.88 ERA and 24:7 K:BB over 25 innings covering three starts and three relief appearances with Jacksonville. Given the state of the Marlins' rotation, Oller is a candidate to make multiple starts.

The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Soriano permitted four runs over eight relief innings during his most recent stint in the majors. Adam Oller will absorb his roster spot.

The Marlins designated Rivera for assignment Monday.

Rivera had seen his playing time drying up lately and with the arrival of Connor Norby, he's now off the roster altogether. The 28-year-old slashed just .214/.294/.269 with one home run in 96 games with Miami and would seem to stand a good chance of passing through waivers.

The Marlins recalled Norby from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Norby was surprisingly sent to Jacksonville after the Marlins acquired him at the trade deadline from the Orioles, but he's now joined the big club and should be set for an everyday role. The 24-year-old had mostly played third base at Jacksonville of late and that's likely where he'll see the bulk of his starts with the Marlins for now, although he's capable of handling second base and the corner outfield spots, as well.

The Diamondbacks outrighted Vieira to Triple-A Reno on Aug. 2.

Though Vieira remains a member of Arizona's organization after clearing waivers earlier this month, he has yet to pitch for Reno since being cast off the 40-man roster. Reno placed him on its restricted list Aug. 9 for unspecified reasons.
