Wall was traded to Toronto alongside Chad Spanberger and a player to be named later in exchange for Seung Hwan Oh on Wednesday.

Across 93 games at the High- and Double-A levels within the Rockies' system this season, Wall slashed .260/.340/.410 with nine home runs, 31 RBI and 28 stolen bases. The speedy 22-year-old has spent most of 2018 continuing to transition to a role in center field after beginning his career as a second baseman. Since being promoted to Double-A Hartford in late May, he's hit for a .206 average with a .648 OPS, so look for Toronto to keep him at that level upon his arrival.

Herrera is unlikely to get playing time in the outfield even with Scott Schebler on the DL and Jesse Winker hurting, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.

Herrera did play three innings in left field in a blowout game against the Indians earlier this month, hence the speculation. "I'm not totally confident Herrera is going to be an outfielder for us," interim manager Jim Riggleman said. Phillip Ervin and Brandon Dixon are ahead of Herrera, defensively.

Altuve is considered day-to-day with knee discomfort, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

The issue which caused him to leave Wednesday's contest against the Rockies is apparently one which has been bothering him for a few days. The Astros have an off day Thursday and hope that their star second baseman could return Friday against the Rangers.

Polanco went 2-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored Wednesday against Toronto.

Polanco was in the thick of things all night, scoring the first run in a three-run rally in the second, the first in a two-run rally in the eighth and again as part of a six-run 11th inning. In 20 games since returning from his suspension, the shortstop is hitting a solid .270/.349/.365 with three steals.

Altuve left Wednesday's contest against Colorado with right knee discomfort, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Altuve appeared to be running unevenly while heading to second base on a double. The details of the injury should become apparent after the game.

Bostick (appendectomy) was reinstated from the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Bostick was sidelined for just under a month after requiring the emergency appendectomy in late June. The infielder has since appeared in three games for Indianapolis, collecting four hits over 13 at-bats.

Frazier was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Frazier will provide extra depth as a utility man after spending the past month in the minors. Across 58 games with the Pirates this year, Frazier has slashed .239/.323/.355 with three home runs and eight RBI. In a corresponding move, the club sent Casey Sadler to Indianapolis.

Rosario will start at shortstop and man the leadoff spot for the Mets in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Padres have brought southpaw starters to the hill for each of the three games of the series, so the lefty-hitting Brandon Nimmo has moved down in the order to open up the table-setting role for the righty-hitting Rosario. The 22-year-old has fared well in that capacity over the first two games against San Diego, going 2-for-8 with a triple, walk, stolen base and three runs. Rosario will likely drop to the bottom third of the lineup when the Mets oppose righties.

The Yankees activated Torres (hip) from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat fifth in the Yankees' series finale against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Torres was sidelined for the past three weeks with a strained right hip, but proved his health by going 3-for-9 with a pair of walks over his three-game rehab assignment at High-A Tampa. The rookie should ease back into a full-time role at the keystone right away for the Yankees, resulting in more limited at-bats for the likes of Neil Walker and Brandon Drury (hand).

Tomlinson went 2-for-3 with a triple, RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Tomlinson nabbed the three-bagger in his first at-bat, then later knocked in a run on a two-out single. The 28-year-old is now 2-for-7 over three starts since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento just before the All-Star break and will likely continue to play only sporadically while with the major-league team.
