MLB Player News

Beckham was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Beckham was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Monday's acquisitions, Adam Warren and Zach Duke. Beckham had put together an uninspiring .200/.263/.229 slash line with one extra-base hit and one RBI in the big leagues prior to being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma on July 13.

Tomlinson was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento to the major leagues Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Tomlinson was banished to the minors Thursday, but after Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) and Johnny Cueto (elbow) were both placed on the disabled list, Tomlinson will have another opportunity to prove he belongs. He figures to take on a utility role with Joe Panik returning from an injury and resuming his role as the everyday second baseman.

Arroyo sustained a concussion after getting hit in the head by a pitch while playing for Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Arroyo has hit .264/.339/.396 in 20 games for the Rays this season. He'll likely miss at least a week with the concussion, though an exact timeline is very hard to predict for that sort of injury.

India was moved up to Low-A Dayton on Monday.

India is on the move once again, just days after being called up to Rookie-league Billings in the Pioneer League. Across 17 professional games, he's gone 14-for-54 (.259 average) with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and one stolen base.

Kemp started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

The Astros promoted prospect Kyle Tucker and planned on giving him a shot to take the everyday job in left field, but that hasn't worked out. With the rookie hitting just .143 (6-for-42), Kemp has emerged as a logical candidate to get most of the starts in left. That could change if the Astros decide to trade for an outfielder ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Another wrinkle is Marwin Gonzalez likely getting time in left field once shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is ready.

Solarte is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Solarte has been stuck in a 5-for-43 rut at the dish over his last 10 games, so he'll be given a breather as the newly acquired Brandon Drury picks up a second straight start at third base. In the event manager John Gibbons elects to open up a permanent lineup spot for Drury, Solarte would still have a fairly clear path to everyday at-bats at shortstop or second base as part of a double-play tandem with Lourdes Gurriel.

Andrus is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Andrus will give way to Jurickson Profar at shortstop as the Rangers look to give the veteran some rest for the day after the night game. After hitting just .214 over his first 22 games back from the disabled list following an extended absence due to a fractured elbow, Andrus has caught fire at the plate since the All-Star break, slashing .375/.422/.575 with two home runs and two steals.

The Athletics recalled Barreto from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Barreto joins the Athletics for his fifth stint of the season with the big club in need of infield depth after Chad Pinder (elbow) was moved to the disabled list. It's expected that Barreto will be ticketed for a reserve role after managing a lowly .246 on-base percentage through his first 134 plate appearances in the majors.

The Astros placed Altuve (knee) on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

The DL move had been expected since Saturday after Altuve's right knee failed to show dramatic improvement over the last couple of days. With the Astros now making the transaction official, Tyler White was formally recalled from Triple-A Fresno to take Altuve's spot on the active roster.

Rodriguez, who is starting at third base and batting sixth Sunday, has been dealing with a sore groin the past few days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Rodriguez hasn't started since Wednesday, but as a player who's been in and out of the lineup this year, the issue didn't really come to light. In any case, it seems like it was a minor issue, as the 26-year-old will return to action Sunday. On the season, Rodriguez is slashing a subpar .164/.208/.164 in 23 games.
