Gilbert went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 15-8 win over the Orioles.

Gilbert lined his first double to right field in the third inning, driving in a run. He later reached on a fielder's choice in the seventh before coming around to score. The 24-year-old added another double in the ninth. This marked his second big-league outing with multiple hits and multiple RBI. Over 15 games, Gilbert is slashing .139/.139/.278 with four RBI, two runs scored, two doubles, one homer and one stolen base across 36 plate appearances.

The Brewers designated Dunn for assignment Saturday.

Dunn hasn't appeared in a game for the Brewers since mid-April and is slashing .201/.304/.326 at Triple-A Nashville since being sent down. Now that Robert Gasser (elbow) has returned from the 60-day IL, Dunn will end up as the odd man out of a spot on Milwaukee's 40-man roster. His poor performance in the minors makes it likely he'll pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Brewers reinstated Gasser (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.

Gasser has spent the entire season working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last June. He's made nine starts in the minors since beginning his rehab assignment in July, posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 24.2 innings between three levels. Now fully healthy, the 26-year-old lefty will fall victim to the logjam in Milwaukee's rotation and remain in Triple-A. However, he could still return to the majors during the final month of the year to make a spot start or work out of the bullpen.

The Brewers optioned Lockridge to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

The Brewers traded for Lockridge at the deadline to provide the club with some speedy outfield depth while Jackson Chourio (hamstring) was on the IL. Now that the latter has returned, Lockridge will move to the minors and continue serving as organizational depth. The 28-year-old slashed .261/.308/.370 with six RBI, eight runs scored and two steals across 53 plate appearances during his time with Milwaukee.

Anderson allowed five hits and issued three walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Houston on Friday.

Anderson made his first start in seven days, as he got some extra time off during the week while on paternity leave. The additional rest appears to have served him well -- the veteran lefty kept the Astros off the scoreboard during his five frames after pitching to a poor 6.13 ERA across his previous eight outings. Anderson should be good to make his next start on his regular schedule, so he's slated to face the Royals on the road next week.

Johnston went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Starting in left field and batting seventh, Johnston delivered his fourth multi-hit performance in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's batting .480 (12-for-25) with three runs and four RBI. The 28-year-old has emerged as the Marlins' preferred option in left field against right-handed pitching while still occasionally spotting in at first base or right field, a role he could fill until Kyle Stowers (oblique) gets healthy.

The Brewers reinstated Chourio (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday.

Chourio landed on the injured list toward the end of July due to a strained right hamstring, and after five rehab games at Triple-A Nashville, he's now been given the green light to reclaim an everyday role in Milwaukee's outfield. Although the 21-year-old went just 1-for-19 with two walks and eight strikeouts during his time in the minors, he had been slashing .386/.438/.591 in the second half prior to his injury. To make room for Chourio's return, Brandon Lockridge was optioned to Nashville.

Chisholm stole his 25th base of the season while going 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

With Chisholm's stolen base Friday, he's up to 25 thefts to go along with his 26 home runs on the campaign, marking the first time in his career he's reached the 25-25 mark. Among MLB hitters this season, only Jose Ramirez, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Francisco Lindor got to the 25-25 mark more quickly than Chisholm. Much of Chisholm's stolen-base total has come over the past three weeks -- he's gone 11-for-11 in theft attempts across his past 17 contests and has swiped one bag in each of his past three games.

The Pirates recalled Devanney from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Since joining the Pirates organization via trade from Kansas City on July 16, Devanney has slashed .256/.327/.361 with two homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 147 plate appearances. Those numbers represent a significant drop off from the .931 OPS he posted with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, but he'll aim to contribute for the big club nonetheless. The 28-year-old has experience at every infield position and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Norby went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Activated off the IL earlier in the day after recovering from wrist surgery, Norby got the start at third base and batted sixth in his first big-league action since July 11. The 25-year-old will hold down the starting job at the hot corner until Graham Pauley (oblique) gets healthy, at which point the Marlins could have a tough decision to make -- Norby has a .244/.291/.368 slash line in 73 games this season, while Pauley had a .254/.371/.492 line in 26 games after getting called back up from Triple-A Jacksonville when Norby went down.
