Arraez went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over Washington.

Arraez singled in the top of the second to drive home Xavier Edwards and tacked on an insurance run in the seventh with another RBI single. The second baseman reached base four times on the afternoon and has now recorded multiple hits in three straight games. He's also hit safely in six straight and in 10 of his last 11.

Bae went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Friday against the Cardinals.

Bae has started all seven games against right-handed pitching since he returned from the injured list Aug. 18, and he's also started four of seven contests against southpaws. In that span, he's gone 10-for-41 with four RBI and five runs to go along with a pair of stolen bases. While unremarkable production, the Pirates appear invested in getting Bae regular at-bats, to the detriment of Liover Peguero.

Mauricio went 2-for-3 with a double in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Getting the start at second base and batting ninth in his big-league debut, Mauricio ripped a double off Logan Gilbert to lead off the bottom of the third inning that left his bat at 117.3 mph -- the fastest exit velocity recorded during the Statcast era on a player's first career hit, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Mauricio earned his promotion by slashing .288/.357/.558 for Triple-A Syracuse in August with seven homers and eight steals in 24 games, and the 22-year-old figures to get a long look in September as Francisco Lindor's potential long-term double-play partner.

Edwards went 0-for-1 with a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Nationals after being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to the game.

Edwards and right-handed reliever Geoff Hartlieb joined the Marlins on Friday as the team's two September call-ups with the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 players. With the 68-67 Marlins still in the thick of the National League wild-card race, Edwards may not get the immediate opportunity to play regularly, unless the Marlins elect to call an end to the unproductive platoon of Joey Wendle and Jon Berti at shortstop.

Wong hit a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.

The second baseman pinch hit for Freddie Freeman in the eighth inning, and Wong got his Dodgers career started with a bang. Prior to signing a minor-league deal in August, Wong mustered an abysmal .468 OPS with the Mariners over 67 games. With Los Angeles, he figures to be little more than a part-time player, though his solid defensive reputation may lead to him coming off the bench as a late-game replacement more often than not.

The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment and outrighted him to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

With the addition of Kolten Wong to the active roster Friday, Hernandez will remain in OKC but lose his spot on the 40-man. The 25-year-old is slashing .252/.407/.363 across 339 plate appearances in Triple-A and will likely remain in the minors to conclude the season.

The Dodgers selected Wong's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

After slashing just .165/.241/.227 with Seattle, Wong was let go by the Mariners and eventually signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers. He went 7-for-13 with six RBI and three runs scored in just three games with Oklahoma City, so he'll join the big-league club to provide second-base depth behind Mookie Betts for the final month of the season. Yonny Hernandez was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

The Cardinals transferred Donovan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan underwent season-ending surgery in August to repair the flexor strain in his right elbow, so a move to the 60-day IL was expected. His spot on the 40-man roster will be filled by Ryan Helsley (forearm), who came off the 60-day injured list Friday.

The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

As MLB rosters expand to 28 players, Miller will give the Brewers another option in the infield as they push for the postseason. With Andruw Monasterio in a major slump at the plate, it's possible Miller ends up seeing regular action at third base, but he's also capable of playing first base, second base or in the outfield.

Rodgers (illness) is starting at second base and batting fifth Friday versus the Blue Jays in his return to the lineup.

It's Rodgers' first start since Sunday, as he's been battling an illness this week but is finally feeling well enough to give it a go. The infielder is sporting just a .218/.274/.295 slash line in 20 games since returning from shoulder surgery in late July.
