Rutschman (wrist) will travel with the Red Sox to Toronto and will go through a series of workouts to gauge the progress of his rehab assignment, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Rutschman reported to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday and went 1-for-5 with two walks, a double, two RBI and two runs in his two rehab games with the Woo Sox. He caught just five frames Saturday and served as the designated hitter Sunday, and it remains to be seen if the Red Sox will reinstate him without Rutschman having caught a full game. He won't be activated from the injured list Monday but could make his debut for Boston later in the week if his workouts go well.

The Cubs reinstated Roberts (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Roberts had been shelved since June 29 due to forearm inflammation but is back to full health after completing a six-appearance rehab assignment at Triple-A. The Cubs don't have a spot available for the right-hander in the big-league bullpen, so he'll stick around at Iowa for now.

The Athletics claimed Rashi off waivers from the Twins on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday and will now take on a 40-man roster spot with a new organization. Rashi started the season with Arizona, surrendering four earned runs in three big-league appearances. He's seen the bulk of his action at the Triple-A level, registering a 2.49 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB over 43.1 innings.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that Garcia (hand) could resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha as soon as Wednesday, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Garcia was scheduled to take part in fielding drills Sunday, and if the workout goes well, he'll get the green light to return to action at Triple-A after he was previously pulled off his assignment when he experienced renewed discomfort in his strained left hand following a July 28 appearance. Nick Loftin has been serving as the Royals' primary third baseman in recent weeks, but he'll likely be ticketed for a utility role once Garcia completes his rehab assignment and is ready for activation.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Feduccia will head to the bench after he started behind the plate in each of the Dodgers' previous three contests while going 2-for-8 with a walk and a run scored. Ben Rortvedt will get the nod at catcher Sunday, but Feduccia could end up being the Dodgers' favored option until Will Smith (neck) is ready to come off the 60-day injured list.

Cavanaugh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Cavanaugh and Daniel Susac continue to operate in a near-even timeshare at catcher for the Giants. Susac will pick up his fifth start Sunday in the Giants' last nine games, while Cavanaugh has been behind the plate for each of the other four contests. Unless one player dramatically separates himself from the other with his performance, the timeshare arrangement could remain in place for the balance of the season.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy went 0-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts in the first two games of the series, and he'll take a seat against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in the finale. Enrique Hernandez will step in at the hot corner Sunday for the Dodgers.

Stowers was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort, Craig Mish of Marlins.tv reports. He went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored before departing.

Stowers appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out of the batter's box on an RBI single in the fifth. After reaching first base, Stowers appeared to be in pain before limping to the dugout and getting replaced by a pinch hitter. Stowers previously opened the season on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, though that injury was to his right leg. The Marlins will presumably send Stowers in for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

The Rays recalled Grove from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The right-hander was sent to Durham on Tuesday but will quickly return to the majors since Griffin Jax (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Grove has made two appearances for Tampa Bay this season and has given up two earned runs with a 4:0 K:BB over five innings.

The Tigers announced Friday that Carpenter (foot) has begun a full progression of hitting, running and playing defense, MLB.com reports.

Carpenter received a cortisone injection July 28 to address right foot plantar fasciitis, and the shot appears to have yielded the desired effect. The 29-year-old has been fitted for orthotic shoes with the hope that it will combat future foot problems as he begins ramping back up for a return from the injured list. Carpenter could be ready to rejoin the Tigers by next weekend if all goes well during his upcoming workouts, though the club may prefer to send him out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to activating him.
