Peguero will be called up by the Pirates on Monday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Peguero began the 2023 campaign at Double-A Altoona but was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis in early July. Over 76 minor-league games this year, he's slashed .256/.330/.458 with 13 home runs, 54 runs, 38 RBI and 21 steals. The 22-year-old made his major-league debut last year during a lone matchup with the Pirates, and he should have plenty of opportunities to play in Pittsburgh down the stretch.

Rodgers (shoulder) will head out to High-A Spokane on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

At one point, Rodgers' injury was feared to be season-ending, but he now appears to be on the verge of a return to live action. Rodgers will start out at the High-A level, and given the extended absence, he figures to take close to the full 20 days allotted to him on rehab. While he took a bit of a step backward last season, Rodgers is a .294/.349/.442 career hitter at home in Coors Field.

The Brewers recalled Jones from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

After being sent down earlier in the week, Jones will return with Brian Anderson (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. While Jones put together a respectable .292/.427/.542 line in 62 games with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season, he's not starting Sunday, and the Brewers don't seem inclined to give him a serious look as a regular.

Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

The dream of a .400 season could be starting to fade for the 26-year-old, as he was batting "only" .297 (11-for-37) through 10 games in July coming into Saturday, but Arraez's bat roared back to life in this one. It's the sixth time in 88 games this year he's collected four or more hits, and while his .386 batting average on the season remains extraordinary, it comes with only three homers, one steal, 40 runs and 43 RBI.

Kim went 3-for-8 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

The Padres got swept in the twin bill, but it was no fault of Kim's as he reached base three times while hitting leadoff in both contests. The 27-year-old extended his on-base streak to 12 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .302/.404/.488 with two of his 10 homers and four of his 17 steals on the season.

Donovan went 2-for-8 with a home run, a triple, five RBI and two runs scored across both halves of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Nationals.

Donovan supplied a game-tying homer after play resumed from Friday's suspended contest. In the nightcap, he added a two-run triple in the second inning. The versatile 26-year-old has been hampered by an arm injury lately, which has limited him to designated hitter, but his bat has been too good to come out of the lineup. He's gone 12-for-33 (.364) over nine contests since he was cleared to return as the DH. Donovan is slashing .282/.367/.411 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored and four stolen bases through 83 games this season.

Garcia isn't in Washington's lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during Game 1 on Saturday and will now get a breather for the second game. Michael Chavis will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

The Nationals promoted Alu to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Alu is slashing .311/.372/.453 with 39 RBI through 287 plate appearances in Triple-A Rochester. He has appeared in four games for Washington this season and figures to return to Triple-A following Saturday's nightcap.

Donovan played catch on the field with a trainer Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Donovan has been dealing with an arm injury that has limited him to DH since late June. It's unclear how soon Donovan will return to fielding duties, but Saturday's work was a good sign of progress. Despite his injury, Donovan is slashing .400/.423/.520 through 26 plate appearances in July.

Stott will sit for the afternoon game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres.

Stott hits the bench against lefty Blake Snell but could return to face southpaw Ryan Weathers in the nightcap. Edmundo Sosa will handle second base in Stott's absence.
