  • 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.

  • 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 Today, 2:57 pm

  • Corey Seager (hand) able to swing a bat on Tuesday
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters Tuesday that Corey Seager remains day-to-day with a left hand contusion.

    Advice: Bochy added that Seager is doing better after being hit by a pitch during Saturday’s game and was able to progress to swinging a bat again. Although he’s not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres it certainly sounds like he has a shot at getting back into game action at some point in the coming days.

  • 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 Today, 2:40 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 Today, 2:14 pm

  • Javier Báez (back) starting rehab assignment
    Javier Báez (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Báez has been on the shelf since mid-June due to back inflammation and will likely need at least a handful of rehab contests to get back up to speed. It would be an understatement to say that his time in Detroit has been a colossal disappointment since signing a six-year, $140 million deal as a free agent back in 2022. Rotoworld Today, 2:06 pm

  • Dealing with abscessed tooth
    Arcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants due to an abscessed tooth, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Arcia dealt with a bout a dizziness last week and is now managing a tooth issue. The abscess is being addressed Tuesday, so the 29-year-old could rejoin the lineup within the next couple days. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm

  • Orlando Arcia out Tuesday with abscessed tooth
    Orlando Arica is day-to-day with an abscessed tooth.

    Advice: It certainly sounds painful. Arcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Giants and isn’t even at the ballpark for the contest due to the issue. It doesn’t sound like he’ll need a trip to the injured list, but he figures to miss at least a couple additional games this week. Rotoworld Today, 1:40 pm
