    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday

      Advice: With Gabriel Moreno (thumb) and Alek Thomas (hamstring) returning from the injured list Tuesday, Alexander and Tucker Barnhart will both be pushed back to the minors. In his first season in the big leagues, Alexander has slashed .259/.328/.361 with three homers and 21 RBI across 175 plate appearances. Should the Diamondbacks run into any problems with their infield depth, it's likely the 25-year-old would be one of the first choices for a return to Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 3:37 pm

    • 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 Today, 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 Today, 3:18 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

    • Two stolen bases against Nats
      Bader went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Batting second against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Bader was disruptive from the top of the order, singling and swiping second base in the sixth and seventh innings. The 30-year-old center fielder has reeled off four two-hit performances in his last six starts, batting .360 (9-for-25) during that stretch with three doubles, two homers, four steals, four RBI and eight runs.

    • Expected back this week
      Moreno (thumb) is expected to be activated ahead of a three-game series against the Dodgers beginning Tuesday, Arizona Sports reports.

      Advice: The Diamondbacks designated Tucker Barnhart on Sunday, which indicates Moreno should be ready to go Tuesday after catching in a rehab game at the Arizona Complex League over the weekend. With Barnhart designated, the Diamondbacks will roll with Jose Herrera as the backup catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:16 am
       
    • Delivers in pinch
      Alexander entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with two RBI in a 5-1 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: The score was tied when manager Torey Lovullo had Alexander, who was 0-for-8 during the series and 0-for-9 on the homestand, pinch hit for Joc Pederson with the bases loaded. The A's countered with righty reliever Austin Adams, a former Diamondback with whom Lovullo is familiar, and Alexander delivered a single through a drawn-in infield to give Arizona the lead. Alexander has scuffled of late, going 3-for-33 (.091) with zero RBI over the last 12 games and is down to .259 for the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:03 am

    • Leads charge Sunday
      Malloy went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Malloy's blast in the fourth inning, his third of the season, extended the Detroit lead to 4-0. The rookie has gotten off to a sluggish start in the majors, as he's still batting only .175 with a 38 percent strikeout rate after Sunday. Despite the struggles, Malloy has good power potential, and his prospect pedigree suggests that he'll figure it out at some point. However, fantasy managers may have to remain patient in the short term. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:39 pm
       
    • Justyn-Henry Malloy homers, Tigers edge Angels
      Justyn-Henry Malloy went 2-for-3 with an inside-the-park homer on Sunday, leading the Tigers to a 7-6 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Malloy has compiled cringe-inducing numbers this season since getting the call to the majors back in early June, but he made his presence felt in this one with a two-run, inside-the-park homer off Angels southpaw Tyler Anderson in the fourth inning. It was just his third big fly in 23 games so far in the big leagues as he’s also struck out 28 times in 73 plate appearances during that span. The 24-year-old was an on-base machine in the upper minors, but he’s still clearly a work in progress at the highest level. The big question will be how long the Tigers are going to be willing to let him continue to try to figure things out. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:07 pm
