  • D-backs option Blaze Alexander to Triple-A
    Diamondbacks optioned SS Blaze Alexander to Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Alexander got off to a strong start this season in place of an injured Geraldo Perdomo, but there isn’t exactly a spot for him in Arizona at the moment with everyone back healthy in the starting lineup. The 25-year-old rookie holds a respectable .688 OPS with three homers and three steals across 175 plate appearances. He’ll continue to play everyday back at Triple-A Reno until another opportunity arises. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury back Tuesday after 10-game absence
    Brandon Drury (illness) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Drury is back at second base and batting seventh for Tuesday’s series opener against Oakland following a 10-game absence due to a respiratory virus. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:20 pm
     
  • Sitting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Biggio continues to split time at third base with Chris Taylor until Max Muncy (oblique) returns. Biggio has struggled with Los Angeles, batting .188 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 games since being acquired from the Blue Jays. Taylor has the start at third Tuesday and is batting eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:20 pm

  • Athletics designate Aledmys Díaz for assignment
    Athletics designated INF Aledmys Díaz for assignment.

    Advice: Díaz has been jettisoned from Oakland’s roster to make room for younger players to come up and get an opportunity moving forward. The 33-year-old veteran infielder signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal prior to last year and finishes his tenure in Oakland with a disastrous .585 OPS with four homers and one steal in 374 plate appearances over 121 games.

  • Back in starting lineup
    Drury (illness) is starting at second base and batting seventh Tuesday, his first start since June 18.

    Advice: After dealing with a hamstring injury, Drury returned from the injured list June 17. However, since then the infielder has been dealing with an illness that has resulted in multiple late scratches and games on the bench. The 31-year-old came off the bench in Sunday's game but went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:03 pm
     
  • Dodgers sign Alan Trejo to minor league contract
    Dodgers signed INF Alan Trejo to a minor league contract.

    Advice: Trejo will head to Triple-A Oklahoma City after refusing an outright assignment last weekend from the Rockies after being designated for assignment. The 28-year-old infielder struggled this season in the majors, but he represents some solid emergency organizational depth for Los Angeles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm

  • Finds new home
    Trejo signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday and was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Trejo cleared waivers Saturday after being designated for assignment by the Rockies. He refused an outright assignment, so he became a free agent. The infielder was 9-for-63 with Colorado this season and had posted a 61 OPS+ in four seasons. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm

  • Idle Tuesday
    Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Jettisoned by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has gone just 3-for-29 in 12 games with the A's this season, and his poor performance has now officially caused him to lose his 40-man roster spot. The 33-year-old owns just a .621 OPS over 32 plate appearances in the minors this season, making it likely he passes through waivers unclaimed. Brett Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:14 pm
