Greene (leg) was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Guardians in the third inning, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Greene took a 92.1 mph sinker from Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee off his right leg to open the bottom of the second inning, and he was ultimately able to stay in the game long enough to score on a one-out RBI double by Spencer Torkelson. Greene was then taken out of the game prior to the top of the third frame, and Ben Malgeri took over in left field. Greene will likely undergo imaging on the leg, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

Treinen (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Treinen has been on the injured list since June 20 while recovering from right elbow inflammation, and he was able to face live hitters July 29. The 38-year-old will still be eligible to be activated from the IL late next week, though he will likely require a multi-outing minor-league rehab assignment, making a return in late August or early September more likely. In a corresponding move, Blake Snell (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The Dodgers optioned Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Barnes was brought up to the big club Monday, but he'll now be pushed off the active roster without making an appearance for the Dodgers to make room for Blake Snell (elbow), who returned from the IL to start Tuesday's game against Kansas City. Barnes has given up 10 runs in 13 major-league innings this season but could return to Los Angeles down the stretch to provide a fresh bullpen arm.

Snell (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday night against the Royals.

Snell will officially make his return to action with the Dodgers after missing nearly three months while recovering from a procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The southpaw has made just one start with Los Angeles this season, surrendering five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over three innings May 9 versus Atlanta. Snell was able to build up to 73 total pitches in his final minor-league rehab start Aug. 4 with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so he will likely be able to handle a somewhat regular workload against Kansas City.

Hernandez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Hernandez will get a chance to recollect himself after going just 1-for-17 across his last six games. Alex Call will fill in as the Dodgers' left fielder and bat eighth.

Trammell is absent from Tuesday's lineup against the Giants.

Trammell will sit out the second game of a three-game set with the Giants after going 0-for-3 with two walks in Monday's series opener. Nelson Velazquez, who was recently claimed off waivers by the Astros, will take over in left field and bat sixth for Houston.

The Giants designated Leonard for assignment Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Leonard will end up as the odd man out of a 40-man roster spot following Victor Bericoto's (oblique) return from the injured list and the signing of Andrew Knizner. Leonard went 2-for-8 with a double and two strikeouts during the first three games of his MLB career.

The Red Sox transferred Kiner-Falefa (forearm) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The transaction clears up a spot on the 40-man roster and ensures that Kiner-Falefa won't be available for the Red Sox until at least Aug. 18 while he continues to recover from a stress reaction in his left forearm. Kiner-Falefa was cleared to begin a hitting progression shortly after the All-Star break, but it's unclear where he currently stands in his rehab program or how close he might be to heading out on a rehab assignment.

San Francisco reinstated Bericoto (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

After spending just over a month on the shelf with a left oblique strain, Bericoto completed a rehab assignment and was cleared to return to the big-league squad Tuesday. In 59 major-league plate appearances this season, the 24-year-old has slashed .293/.305/.552 with four home runs and nine RBI. The Giants designated Eddys Leonard for assignment to make room for Bericoto on the active roster.

The Red Sox reinstated Rutschman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and added him to the active roster, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Rutschman is making his Red Sox debut Tuesday as the starting catcher while batting third. The catcher has been out with wrist inflammation since July 19, which has kept him from playing for his new team after Boston acquired him Aug. 3. In corresponding moves Tuesday, the Red Sox designated Jake Rogers for assignment and transferred Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) to the 60-day injured list.
