The Red Sox acquired Sanchez from the Mets on Sunday in exchange for cash.

Sanchez had been on a minor-league deal with the Mets after signing with the organization Aug. 23, but he'll end up joining the Red Sox's 28-man active roster after being dealt back to Boston, per Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. The Red Sox had previously claimed the 28-year-old backstop off waivers from Toronto on Aug. 8, and he appeared in one game for the big club before being cast off the 40-man roster. He won't be in line for much playing time in September as the Red Sox's No. 3 catcher behind Carlos Narvaez and Connor Wong.

The Tigers recalled Malloy from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Malloy, 25, slashed .317/.444/.490 with eight home runs and five steals in 66 games at Triple-A this season, but he has yet to have sustained success at the big-league level, as he's managed a career .205/.307/.339 slash line in 348 plate appearances. The righty-hitting Malloy figures to play mostly against left-handed pitchers while getting starts at designated hitter and the outfield corners.

Yoshida is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Yoshida had started in all three of the Red Sox's games versus Pittsburgh over the weekend and went 2-for-10 with two walks and one run, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send lefty Parker Messick to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will replace Yoshida in the lineup at designated hitter.

The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Zulueta will provide manager Terry Francona with another bullpen arm as rosters expand. The right-hander has permitted three runs with a 3:2 K:BB over 5.1 innings during his time with the Reds this season.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Narvaez will take a seat for Monday's day game after he had started behind the plate in three of Boston's previous four contests. Connor Wong will handle catching duties in the series opener.

The Reds selected Stewart's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. He will start at first base and bat sixth in the Reds' series opener versus the Blue Jays.

Stewart has been a consistent producer throughout his minor-league career, and he started getting to more over-the-fence power in his age-21 season. He slashed .309/.383/.524 with 20 home runs, 17 steals and a 15.6 percent strikeout rate in 118 games across Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A. Stewart is capable of playing second, third and first base and should get regular work down the stretch. He's more of an average runner than a plus runner, so his speed may not translate in September, but Stewart's hitting ability, role and home park make him a worthwhile roster addition in fantasy.

Tatis acknowledged that he felt "a little tightness" in his right hamstring during Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Twins, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Tatis was seen grabbing at his hamstring during the seventh inning. He eventually exited the contest during the eighth inning, although his departure seemed to be more as a result of the game being out of reach, as the Padres pulled a couple other starters, as well. Tatis was walking around fine after the game and said he would be back in the lineup Monday against the Orioles.

Sweeney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Sweeney will join fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith on the bench for the series opener while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the bump. Though Sweeney started in both of the previous two contests and has been seeing semi-regular run at shortstop since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 10, he's slashing just .205/.225/.359 over a stretch of 16 games. Sweeney could be at risk of a demotion or a move to a reserve role once outfielder Parker Meadows (quadriceps) is activated from the 10-day injured list, which could result in Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez seeing more playing time at shortstop.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

After starting in each of the Tigers' last six games, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill for the series opener. Keith is slashing just .143/.200/.167 over 45 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

After starting in each of the Tigers' last nine games, the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will retreat to the bench while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill for the series opener. Carpenter is slashing just .196/.222/.353 over 54 plate appearances versus lefties this season.
