Torres went 2-for-5 with a home run and four total RBI in the Yankees' 7-2 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

After missing over two weeks with a hamstring injury, Torres left the yard for the first time in four games since his return. It was just Torres' second home run through 94 at-bats in 2020. He averaged a long ball every 17.5 at-bats through his previous two campaigns. Nonetheless, he improved his average to .234 with Wednesday's strong showing.

Diaz (opt out) was reinstated from the restricted list Wednesday and optioned to the alternate training site.

The 24-year-old opted out of the season during the Marlins' COVID-19 outbreak early in the season, but he committed to rejoining the team and was approved for reinstatement in late August. Diaz has been workout out at the alternate training site and will remain there until recalled to the big-league roster.

Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation Wednesday.

It's unclear exactly how Marte sustained the injury, but he'll be sidelined at least 10 days as a result. While the severity of the injury isn't known, Tim Locastro and Daulton Varsho could see an uptick in playing time in center field. Marte was slashing .290/.324/.407 with two home runs and 14 RBI this season.

Rengifo (thumb) is starting at second base and batting ninth Wednesday against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old hasn't seen the field since Sunday due to the left thumb sprain, but he'll return to the starting nine for Wednesday's contest. Rengifo has a .159/.293/.217 slash line through 83 plate appearances this season.

Urias went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs, five RBI and a caught stealing during Wednesday's 19-0 win over the Tigers.

The 23-year-old was without an extra-base hit in his previous 31 at-bats, but he broke out with two doubles as the Brewers pounded the Tigers on Wednesday. Urias has a .286/.355/.357 slash line with four doubles, a triple, 10 runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in 25 games this season.

Albies (wrist) will start at second base and will bat eighth Wednesday against the Marlins.

As expected, Albies will re-enter the lineup for the first time since Aug. 4 after the Braves activated him from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day. Though Albies primarily batted out of the two hole before being shut down with the sprained right wrist, the Braves are expected to ride the hot bats of Travis d'Arnaud and Dansby Swanson near the top of the order for the foreseeable future. As a result, Albies may be confined to a spot in the bottom third of the order until he proves deserving of a better assignment.

The Braves released Solarte on Aug. 27.

Atlanta added Solarte to its 60-man roster pool shortly before summer camp started, but the veteran infielder was unable to win a spot on the Opening Day roster. The Braves didn't envision him making his way on the roster at any point in the near future, so Solarte was cut loose to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Dubon went deep for the second time this season in the bottom of the fourth inning, tying the score at 4-4. Dubon struggled to gain consistent playing time earlier this season but seems to have settled as an everyday player of late. He is hitting .314 with a .873 OPS, four extra-base hits and seven RBI over his last 10 games.

Albies (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

He comes right into a tough matchup against righty Pablo Lopez, but this is still a welcome return for those who have been patient while Albies was on the IL. Albies should be the everyday second baseman over the rest of the season. Johan Camargo was optioned in a corresponding move.
