  • BJ Murray 1B | CHC

    Cubs' BJ Murray: Added to roster, starting at DH

    The Cubs selected Murray's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

    Murray has put together a fine season at Iowa, slashing .294/.395/.500 with 16 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 69:110 BB:K over 118 games. He's primarily a corner infielder but can handle left field as well. Murray is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Tuesday versus the Brewers in his major-league debut.

  • Tyler Ferguson RP | CHC

    Cubs' Tyler Ferguson: Recalled to big leagues

    The Cubs recalled Ferguson from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

    Ferguson has put in some quality work for the Cubs this season in posting a 3.45 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 15.2 innings. The 32-year-old will likely be used primarily in a middle-relief role.

  • JoJo Romero RP | MIL

    Brewers' JoJo Romero: Activated by Brewers

    The Brewers activated Romero (appendectomy) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Romero underwent an appendectomy in mid-July when he was still a member of the Cardinals organization. He's ready for his Brewers debut now after making two scoreless rehab appearances.

  • Ronel Blanco SP | HOU

    Astros' Ronel Blanco: Called up for Tuesday's start

    The Astros recalled Blanco from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander is back in the majors Tuesday with rosters expanding to 28 players and will immediately step into Houston's rotation. Blanco has struggled to a 7.71 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB in 23.1 frames over his five appearances in the big leagues this season.

  • Bo Naylor C | MIL

    Brewers' Bo Naylor: Up as third catcher

    The Brewers recalled Naylor from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Most teams like to carry a third catcher when rosters expand in September, and that's what Naylor's role will be. He's unlikely to play much, barring injury.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Mets' Marcus Semien: Taking seat Tuesday

    Semien is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    It looks to be a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Brett Baty will grab a start at second base in Semien's stead.

  • Dylan Ross RP | NYM

    Mets' Dylan Ross: Joins big-league bullpen

    The Mets recalled Ross from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    In 36.1 innings with Syracuse this season, Ross has posted a 6.94 ERA and 45:31 K:BB. The 26-year-old will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Daz Cameron RF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Daz Cameron: DFA'd by Toronto

    The Blue Jays designated Cameron for assignment Tuesday.

    Cameron's stint in the majors lasted a couple weeks, as he went 5-for-24 with one home run and a 0:7 BB:K. He is likely to clear waivers, and if that happens the 29-year-old would have the ability to elect free agency.

  • Josh H. Smith LF | TOR

    Blue Jays' Josh Smith: Activated from injured list

    The Blue Jays activated Smith (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Smith is ready to return from a brief absence brought about by left hamstring inflammation. He'll slot into a utility role for Toronto in September.

  • Joe Mantiply RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Joe Mantiply: Reinstated from 60-day injured list

    The Blue Jays activated Mantiply (knee) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Mantiply is finally back in the saddle after working his way back from the arthroscopic surgery he underwent on his left knee in June. The veteran reliever will give manager John Schneider another lefty in the bullpen.
