The Cardinals recalled Gorman from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

He'll fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Masyn Winn (thumb). Gorman has slashed .182/.328/.430 with 13 home runs in 46 games since being demoted to Memphis, with seven of those long balls coming in August. He could see some action at third base for the Cardinals but is not guaranteed regular playing time.

The Cardinals will recall Gorman from Triple-A Memphis prior to Tuesday's game versus the Orioles, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

He will take the roster spot vacated by the injured Masyn Winn (thumb). Gorman was the Cardinals' Opening Day third baseman but got sent down in mid-June after slashing .194/.279/.318 with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate in his first 62 games. He's hit seven homers with a .902 OPS in seven contests with Memphis in August, but that's also come with a 37.3 percent strikeout rate. Gorman is a candidate for some reps at third base and perhaps second base in St. Louis, but his playing time is not guaranteed.

Padres manager Craig Stammen said after Monday's loss to the Pirates that Machado is dealing with a bruise on the inside of his index finger, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado was in noticeable discomfort during the contest, with Stammen noting that the finger bothers Machado when he hits the ball off the end of the bat. The third baseman remained in Monday's game and plans to wear a sleeve to protect the finger moving forward. Machado went 0-for-3 with two walks Monday.

Vivas went 3-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout during a 13-3 win over Colorado on Monday.

Vivas recorded his second three-hit game of the season and first since June 27 on Monday. The 25-year-old slashed a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to extend the Nationals' lead to eight. On the campaign, Vivas is slashing .239/.324/.320 with three homers and 24 RBI in 287 plate appearances.

The Giants recalled Whitcomb from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Claimed off waivers from the Astros earlier this month, Whitcomb will now get the chance to make his Giants debut. He'll draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh Monday following his promotion.

Bohm (hamstring) is starting at first base and batting fifth against Seattle on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm was held out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to hamstring/groin tightness, but he's been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Bohm has been on a heater at the plate recently with six multi-hit games over his last nine outings, going 18-for-38 (.474) with 12 RBI, seven extra-base hits and 10 runs scored in that span.

Riley went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Riley continues to labor near the bottom of the order -- he hasn't hit higher than seventh in the lineup since he batted sixth July 24 in Baltimore. The third baseman has gone 20-for-72 (.278) in August, far better than his .223 average for the season. He's added a .662 OPS, 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 130 contests. His counting stats are nearly identical to a 102-game sample from the 2025 regular season, highlighting his clear and sudden decline in productivity this year.

The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion.

The 24-year-old was activated from the concussion IL on Friday but will quickly return after experiencing additional symptoms. Karros will be sidelined for at least another week while he goes through the league's protocols. Ryan Ritter was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and is starting at second base Sunday against the Guardians, with Willi Castro sliding to the hot corner.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Baty will hit the bench after starting the last three games at three different positions. Though he doesn't have a defensive home, Baty should play fairly regularly against right-handed pitching while Juan Soto (calf) remains sidelined.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.
