  • 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 21 minutes ago

  • 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 25 minutes ago

  • Sitting Tuesday and more
    Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Biggio is set to lose time in the Dodgers' lineup at third base with Chris Taylor looking to secure the position as his until Max Muncy (oblique) returns. Biggio has struggled with Los Angeles, batting .188 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 games. Taylor has the start at third Tuesday and is batting eighth. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • 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, which will make it 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 54 minutes ago
     
  • 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

  • Finds new home
    Trejo was signed by the Dodgers to a minor league contract Tuesday and is with 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

  • 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 Today, 2:35 pm
