The Marlins recalled Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

The 24-year-old Serna will hit the big leagues for the first time and will provide the Marlins with some added depth in the middle infield after second baseman Xavier Edwards (thumb) was placed on the injured list. Over 337 plate appearances with Jacksonville on the season, Serna slashed .218/.300/.364 with 11 home runs and 14 stolen bases.

Ginn will no longer start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, as the Athletics want to give him additional rest before his next outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ginn has already logged a career-high 138.1 innings this season, so the decision to push him back could simply be about managing his workload. The right-hander is expected to make a start later this week in Seattle, though the exact date hasn't been revealed.

Texas recalled Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

The Rangers cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Peoples by placing Cole Winn (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Over his two previous stints with the Rangers this season, Peoples made 14 relief appearances and pitched to a 2.51 ERA and 1.19. WHIP across 14.1 innings.

Conine is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Marlins will keep the left-handed-hitting Conine on the bench for the second day in a row while the Nationals send another lefty (Will Dion) to the bump for the series finale. Agustin Ramirez will replace Conine in the lineup at designated hitter.

Caissie is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Marlins will keep the left-handed-hitting Caissie on the bench for the second day in a row while the Nationals send another lefty (Will Dion) to the bump for the series finale. Esteury Ruiz will spell Caissie in right field and will bat eighth.

Vivas will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Marlins.

Vivas will remain in the lineup for a fifth game in a row after going 4-for-11 with two doubles, four walks, one stolen base and one RBI over the prior four contests. Four of those starts have come at second base, but assuming CJ Abrams quickly moves past the back issue that resulted in him being scratched from the lineup Monday, Vivas could end up pushing Brady House for playing time at the hot corner during the final month of the season.

The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Just four days after being sent down to Round Rock, Ahlstrom is back with the big-league club. His numbers with Texas this season include a 3-1 record, 6.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB over 31.1 innings. The Rangers placed Peyton Gray (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, freeing a spot on the active roster for Ahlstrom.

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a right rotator cuff strain.

Winn hadn't pitched since Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on five hits over 1.1 innings in a relief appearance against the White Sox. The Rangers haven't revealed the severity of Winn's strain, but he won't be eligible for activation until at least Sept. 12 as a result of the transaction. Texas recalled right-hander Ben Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Winn in the bullpen.

Dion is slated to start Monday's game against the Marlins at Nationals Park.

After being deployed as a bulk reliever behind an opener in four of his last five appearances, Dion will get the chance to make his first MLB start Monday. Since the 26-year-old lefty hasn't tossed more than 64 pitches in any of his big-league appearances to date, he'll likely be operating with a restricted workload and could struggle to reach the five innings he would need to hit to qualify for a win. Acquired from the Guardians on Aug. 3, Dion has pitched effectively since joining the Nationals, turning in a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings.

Texas placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

The 31-year-old has struggled over his last 15 appearances out of the Texas bullpen, registering a 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings. The Rangers recalled Robby Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Gray in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.
