The Diamondbacks reinstated Gurriel (thigh) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

As expected, Gurriel is back Tuesday after being out since July 18 due to a strained right abductor. He started a rehab stint with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 18 and played in eight games. The 32-year-old logged just three his in 28 at-bats along with three RBI and three walks. He's set to begin Tuesday's game against the Phillies on the bench, per Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv, and Gurriel may be competing for playing time in the future following the Diamondbacks' acquisition of Lars Nootbaar on Aug. 3.

Abrams (back) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Abrams was scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener due to back tightness, but it was apparently a minor concern since he's back in the starting nine a day later. The 25-year-old was struggling at the plate to finish August, batting .106 (5-for-47) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 12 games.

The Diamondbacks transferred Thompson (back) to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Thompson initially landed on the injured list Aug. 5 with a lower-back strain, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the regular season. Blake Walston (elbow) will return from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move to claim the open spot on Arizona's 40-man roster.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Walston (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Walston has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last spring. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 4 and has since given up four earned runs in 7.2 innings at Triple-A Reno. The 25-year-old lefty will join the D-backs' bullpen as a long reliever now that he's fully healthy, though he could still be developed as a starter in the future. Ryan Thompson (back) was placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Angels recalled Paris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Paris has slashed .307/.427/.554 with 13 home runs and 16 stolen bases across 288 plate appearances through 62 games since getting promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on June 9. The 24-year-old got a run of 44 games for the Angels in 2025, when he slashed .190/.266/.381 with six home runs and seven stolen bases across 139 plate appearances. He will look to improve upon that in September and may see action at second base, shortstop, left field and center field.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Tovar will move to the bench for a second time in three games after recording just one hit and five strikeouts in his last 13 at-bats. Cole Carrigg will shift to shortstop to cover for Tovar while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak start across the outfield.

Taillon (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, and if that goes well, will be in line to start Friday's game in Kansas City, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Coming back from right forearm tendinitis, Taillon gave up four earned runs while throwing 48 pitches over 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo last Friday. The Blue Jays had left open the possibility of Taillon making one more rehab start, but as long as he comes out of Tuesday's side session without any hiccups, he'll rejoin the rotation this weekend. Taillon hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in nearly a month, so he probably will not be ready for a full workload Friday.

The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

The veteran right-hander re-signed with the Orioles on a minor-league deal last week after being designated for assignment and electing free agency, and he's now back in the majors with rosters expanding to 28 players Tuesday. Suarez has been a solid bullpen piece for Baltimore this year with a 3.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB over 55 innings.

The Angels reinstated Natera (back) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Natera was on the 15-day injured list due to lower-back spasms that sprung up Aug. 15. The southpaw began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday and also made an appearance Sunday. Over the two games, the 26-year-old tossed two scoreless innings on zero hits, a walk and a strikeout.

Correa (ankle) has been cleared to continue ramping up his rehab at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Coming back from left ankle surgery, Correa said Tuesday that he's been sprinting at 95 percent effort, fielding grounders and doing everything hitting-wise aside from facing live pitching. He is due to face live pitching in Florida and will also progress to running the bases and sliding. It was presumed when he had surgery in May that Correa's season was over, but he has a real chance to return later this month.
