  • D-backs designate Tucker Barnhart for assignment
    Diamondbacks designated C Tucker Barnhart for assignment.

    Advice: Arizona is going to roll with Jose Herrera as their primary backup to starter Gabriel Moreno moving forward. Barnhart is a fine short-term stopgap, but he offers next to nothing at the plate at this stage of his career. The 33-year-old veteran should be able to latch on somewhere else as emergency catching depth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Diamondbacks reinstated Moreno (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old landed on the shelf with a sprained thumb June 22 and will rejoin Arizona after being on the injured list for the 10-day minimum. Moreno has a .230/.313/.346 slash line through 61 games this season and should reclaim primary catching duties for the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:18 pm
     
  • Selected to majors
    The Mariners selected Zavala's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Advice: The Mariners will add Zavala to their active roster to provide some security behind the plate while Mitch Garver battles a wrist injury. The 30-year-old Zavala has slashed just .154/.214/.282 across 43 plate appearances in the majors this season and is unlikely to see much playing time during his stint with Seattle. Jhonathan Diaz was optioned to Tacoma in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:07 pm

  • Mariners summon catcher Seby Zavala on Tuesday
    Mariners selected the contract of C Seby Zavala from Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Zavala joins Seattle’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Orioles as emergency catching depth with veteran backstop Mitch Garver dealing with a wrist contusion. It might end up being a short stint in the big leagues for Zavala unless Garver requires a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:06 pm

  • Remaining out Tuesday
    Garver (wrist) isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Garver will get an extra day to recover Tuesday after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch during Sunday's loss to Minnesota. His absence will allow Mitch Haniger to serve as Seattle's designated hitter while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:24 pm

  • Cracks 10th homer
    Contreras went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Monday's loss at Colorado.

    Advice: The 26-year-old drew the start at designated hitter and reached double-digit homers for the third consecutive season with a solo shot off Austin Gomber.
