San Diego recalled Song from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Song will rejoin the big-league club just six days after being optioned to El Paso. In 134 plate appearances in the majors, the 29-year-old is slashing .202/.305/.263 with one homer, 15 RBI and 12 stolen bases this season. The Padres sent Gavin Sheets (foot) to the injured list to open a slot on the active roster for Song. He will man the hot corner and bat ninth Sunday against Tampa Bay.

The Cardinals placed Wetherholt on the 10-day IL Sunday with right wrist tendinitis.

Wetherholt will land on the injured list for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old rookie has been struggling over his last 30 games, batting .204/.323/.292 with two homers and eight RBI over 131 plate appearances. The Cardinals elevated Cesar Prieto from Triple-A Memphis to replace Wetherholt on the 26-man roster.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

Lowe kicked off the scoring in Saturday's win by going yard in the first inning, his 28th homer of the season. While he's had a fairly strong campaign overall, Lowe has hit only .215 while striking out at a 41.3 percent clip across 25 games in August. Nevertheless, he needs only three RBI to top last year's 83, his highest total since 2021.

Basabe isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Basabe will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's loss. While he sits, Nate Furman will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Semien went 2-for-2 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Astros.

The Mets managed only five hits against Hunter Brown and the Houston bullpen, and Semien was the only member of the home side to reach base multiple times. Productive games have been few and far between for the veteran second baseman this season, however. Semien looks to be nearing the end of the road at 35 years old, and he's currently mired in a 17-game homer drought during which he's managed a .224/.297/.241 slash line with one steal, one double, three RBI and zero runs scored.

Edwards went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Nationals.

The speedy infielder drove in the game's first run with a second-inning single before promptly swiping second base, but things fell apart for the Marlins from there in an eventual 9-2 loss. Edwards is up to 20 stolen bases, the third straight season in which he's reached that mark, and he's hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, slashing .314/.375/.333 over that stretch with four runs and five RBI.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.

Ramirez made his lone hit count as he blasted his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old has had a fine rookie campaign, as he's now slashing .285/.343/.442 across 59 games. Ramirez has emerged as Chicago's top option at second base, as Nico Hoerner has shifted over to cover shortstop recently with Dansby Swanson (oblique) on the injured list. For however long his playing time remains elevated, Ramirez looks like he'll be a viable fantasy option.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Pittsburgh's game against St. Louis on Friday.

Lowe will sit out Friday's series opener as the Cardinals send southpaw Quinn Mathews to toe the slab. Nick Gonzales will move over to second base and bat fifth for the Pirates.

The Reds recalled Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

After spending just under a month in Louisville, Arroyo will rejoin the big-league club Friday. Over his last 15 games in Triple-A, the 23-year-old is slashing .239/.271/.239 in 48 plate appearances. The Reds sent Ke'Bryan Hayes (groin) to the injured list, opening a spot on the 26-man roster for Arroyo.

Basabe isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Basabe will step out of the starting nine Thursday after going 1-for-5 during San Francisco's last series against the Reds. Nate Furman will start at second base while Basabe is on the bench, and Shay Whitcomb will get the nod at third.
