Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Promoted to Double-A
Stott has been promoted to Double-A Reading, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports.
Scott got off to a strong start this season with High-A Jersey Shore, slashing .288/.453/.548 with five homers and 10 RBI across 95 plate appearances. His solid play has earned him a promotion to Double-A Reading, where he will debut Tuesday.

Alan Trejo SS | COL
Rockies' Alan Trejo: Recalled from Triple-A
The Rockies recalled Trejo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Trejo returns to the Rockies after suffering a dislocated finger May 21 in Triple-A. He fills the roster spot of Connor Joe, who was optioned Tuesday, and figures to get some action at shortstop until Trevor Story (elbow) recovers from his injury.

Gavin Lux SS | TB
Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Socks two homers
Lux went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's win over the Cardinals.
Lux recorded his first multi-hit game since May 23, and perhaps coincidentally, that was the last time he belted a home run as well. The second baseman has settled in as a regular this season, but his numbers aren't eye-popping by any means -- he's only hitting .247 with a .701 OPS across 168 plate appearances.

Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Giants' Mauricio Dubon: Pops another homer
Dubon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.
Dubon entered the game in the sixth inning after Evan Longoria (side) exited. In the bottom of the sixth, Dubon extended San Francisco's lead to 4-1 with his solo shot, which was his second homer in as many games. The utilityman is slashing .244/.281/.387 with four homers, 17 RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base through 48 contests this year. If Longoria is forced to miss time, one of Dubon, Wilmer Flores or Donovan Solano would likely handle third base in a near-everyday role.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Solid thus far in Springfield
Gorman owns a .274/.358/.417 slash line with three doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI, two stolen bases, 11 walks and 14 runs across 95 plate appearances for Double-A Springfield.
The promising prospect is more than holding his own in his first exposure to Double-A arms, and his current 26.3 percent strikeout rate, while elevated, is actually better than those he generated at the Low-A and High-A levels during the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Gorman has also continued to display above-average patience at the dish, as evidenced by an 11.6 percent walk rate that's his highest since his first professional stop in rookie ball back in 2018. If he continues to enjoy similar success with Springfield into the latter portion of the summer, a promotion to Triple-A Memphis at some point before the conclusion of the minor-league season certainly wouldn't be out of the question.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Reds' Jonathan India: On bench Monday
India isn't in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.
India had started each of the last three games and went 3-for-9 with an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts. Max Schrock will start at second base and bat fifth.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Swats first HR since return
Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a second run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Cardinals.
Marte is dialing in his swing after missing six weeks with a hamstring injury. Sunday's long ball was his first since returning to the active roster May 19, and the outfielder is 7-for-23 (.304) with five RBI and five runs over the last six games.
-
Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL
Giants' Mauricio Dubon: Cranks third homer
Dubon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.
Dubon went deep in the first inning off Clayton Kershaw for his third home run of the season. The 26-year-old has only 11 long balls in his short career. He is slashing just .239/.278/.359 with a .637 OPS, which is much lower than his .274 batting average and .731 OPS over his first two seasons. Before Saturday's game, he went 0-14 without reaching base safely in six games.

Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU
Mets' Luis Guillorme: Nearing rehab assignment
Guillorme (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment "soon," Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Guillorme has been on the injured list since April 30, and he made slow progress early in his rehab process. However, Guillorme could be reinstated from the injured list shortly after he's able to begin his rehab assignment.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Pops third homer
Kim went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to Houston.
The 25-year-old went deep off Houston reliever Andre Scrubb in the ninth inning. Kim is up to three homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases through 145 plate appearances. With Manny Machado back from a shoulder injury, Kim is expected to mostly serve in a utility role in the infield once San Diego returns to National League play Monday.
