The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Amador is 3-for-10 with one home run during his time with the Rockies this season and has slashed .264/.367/.428 with 11 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 94 contests with Albuquerque. The 23-year-old is capable of handling both middle-infield spots as well as left field.

Semien is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

It looks to be a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Brett Baty will grab a start at second base in Semien's stead.

The Reds recalled Brito from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Brito was picked up from the Guardians at the trade deadline and is now poised to make his Reds debut. The 24-year-old slashed .176/.250/.255 in 15 games with Cleveland earlier this season and has collected a .725 OPS with 11 homers this year at the Triple-A level. Brito is primarily a second baseman but can handle every position on the infield.

The Dodgers recalled Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeland will give the Dodgers protection at multiple positions in the final month of the regular season. The 25-year-old has slashed .231/.309/.313 across 72 games during his time with the big club this season.

Basabe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Basabe took Bryce Elder deep in the sixth inning for a game-tying solo homer, pulling San Francisco even at 3-3. After homering three times over his first four games in August, Basabe entered Monday having gone 21 consecutive games without a long ball. The utility man is slashing .207/.245/.359 with four homers, two doubles, nine RBI, nine runs and two steals across 28 games this season.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Phillies on Monday.

Marte made a somewhat abrupt return after a dramatic couple weeks during which he initially no-showed a game against Boston before landing on the restricted list and then on the IL due to a knee injury. The infielder was greeted by a chorus of boos by his home crowd upon his first at-bat, which ended with a groundout. However, Marte ultimately got aboard twice with a sixth-inning walk and an eighth-inning single. The Diamondbacks are currently half a game behind San Diego for the NL's final wild-card spot, so Marte figures to be a consistent presence in Arizona's lineup moving forward despite his recent antics.

Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

The Rockies are expected to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Amador will provide Colorado with more infield depth once the move becomes official ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Baltimore. He spent five games with the Rockies earlier in the year, going 3-for-10 with one home run, six RBI and five runs.

Ramirez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers due to back spasms, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Ramirez is hitting .333 with two runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last seven games, but he'll be held out Monday with the back issue. It remains to be seen whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup.

The Marlins recalled Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

The 24-year-old Serna will hit the big leagues for the first time and will provide the Marlins with some added depth in the middle infield after second baseman Xavier Edwards (thumb) was placed on the injured list. Over 337 plate appearances with Jacksonville on the season, Serna slashed .218/.300/.364 with 11 home runs and 14 stolen bases.
