The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Rodriguez made one appearance for the Brewers earlier this season and surrendered three earned runs over 3.1 innings, and he's back with the big club ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cubs. He's worked out of the rotation with Nashville this year and has a 4.10 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 70:30 K:BB across 63.2 innings.

The Yankees recalled Winans from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Winans has spent most of this season in Triple-A, where he's started in 14 of 16 games with a 1.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB across 75 innings. That success in the minors hasn't translated to the majors, and across 9.1 major-league innings he has yielded 11 runs (nine earned) on 13 hits and three walks while striking out six batters. Winans will likely serve in a long-relief role out of the Yankees' bullpen.

Bogaerts is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Giants on Wednesday.

Bogaerts will get a rare day off Wednesday, with Jose Iglesias starting at shortstop and batting seventh. In 30 games since the All-Star break, Bogaerts has a .761 OPS with four steals, 19 runs, five home runs and 12 RBI over 129 plate appearances.

Merrill (ankle) is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Giants on Wednesday.

Merrill will be out of the Padres' lineup for a third consecutive game while working through a left ankle injury that he has been dealing with since Friday. Gavin Sheets, Ramon Laureano and Fernando Tatis will start in the outfield from left to right in Merrill's absence.

Baez went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Baez snapped a three-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit performance of the month. He's been solid overall in August, posting a .291 batting average, a home run, a stolen base and 10 RBI across 17 games. An infielder by trade, Baez has been seeing most of his time in center field recently with Matt Vierling (oblique) and Parker Meadows (quad) both on the injured list, though the former did start Wednesday's contest at shortstop before later moving to center.

The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Although Silseth has transitioned to a relief role in the minors this season, he could be used out of the Angels' rotation this weekend against the Cubs while Jose Soriano (personal) is on the paternity list. Silseth last saw major-league action in 2024, when he made two starts and posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over eight innings.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Dingler isn't known for his speed, as the triple was just his second of the season, and he's never swiped a base at the MLB level. The catcher has still been plenty productive for the Tigers with a .274/.321/.432 slash line across 98 games this year. It's a big step forward for Dingler, who posted a .167/.195/.310 line in 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

The Brewers optioned Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Myers covered two scoreless frames out of the bullpen in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader and will head to the minors in favor of a fresh relief arm. The right-hander made three appearances in long relief since a spot start Aug. 9 against the Mets, and he's likely to continue working out of the bullpen if he rejoins the Brewers later in the season.

The Angels placed Soriano on the paternity list Wednesday.

Soriano is tentatively lined up to start against the Cubs this weekend, and he should still be available to pitch since players can spend only 1-to-3 days on the paternity list. The Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake, who could make a spot start if Soriano is away from the team for longer than expected. Soriano has gone 2-2 in six starts since the All-Star break with a 4.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 35.2 innings.

Schanuel is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Reds on Wednesday.

Even with the Reds sending right-hander Nick Martinez to the mound, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's game while Niko Kavadas starts at first base and bats eighth. Schanuel has three multi-hit games over his last four starts but has a .611 OPS with one steal, one homer and four RBI in 77 plate appearances since the beginning of August.
