Anderson (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list before Saturday's game against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The third baseman, having been sidelined since May 24 with a dislocated left shoulder, returns to the Marlins on his first day of eligibility. Before the injury, Anderson hit .250 with three home runs, 11 RBI and 12 walks in 36 games. The Marlins have yet to announce who will be removed from the 40-man roster to clear a space for Anderson.

The Nationals recalled Kieboom from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

The infielder has hit .236/.376/.385 with five home runs, 23 RBI and 26 walks in 44 minor-league games this season. Kieboom has appeared in only two games with the Nationals this season, both of which were in the first week of the season. Jordy Mercer (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Peterson isn't in the lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

The Brewers are facing left-hander Carlos Rodon on Saturday, so Peterson will be excluded from the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base and bat seventh.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

He took Wade LeBlanc deep in the fourth inning, giving the Reds a brief 3-2 lead in a back-and-forth affair. Farmer has gone 9-for-23 (.391) in six games since the All-Star break with three doubles and a homer, but on the season he's still only slashing .235/.303/.364 with eight home runs, two steals, 30 runs and 30 RBI through 91 contests.

Wisdom is out of the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Wisdom started the past five contests but will head to the bench while mired in a 1-for-12 mini-slump since recording a three-hit game Monday. Matt Duffy (back) was activated from the injured list Friday and will start at the hot corner.

Duffy (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and is starting at third base Friday versus Arizona.

Duffy has been sidelined since May 22 due to a strain in his lower back, and he'll slot into the fifth spot in the lineup in his return. Patrick Wisdom has taken over the regular role at third base with Kris Bryant shifting to left field, but Duffy should at least see semi-regular starts as a utility player.

Muncy will be placed on the paternity list Friday and miss this weekend's series against the Rockies, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy's move to the paternity list was mentioned by manager Dave Roberts at the start of the week, though the slugger was able to play in four games against the Giants. The 30-year-old will be away from the Dodgers this weekend while spending time with his family, and he'll rejoin the team Tuesday in San Francisco after Monday's scheduled off day.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Arenado's third-inning blast would give St. Louis enough offense to get the win Thursday. It was the second homer in three games for the third baseman, who now has 19 long balls this year. He's posted a steady .258/.310/.493 slash line with 59 RBI, 45 runs scored and a stolen base through 393 plate appearances.

Longoria (shoulder) is working through a hitting progression and has begun other baseball activities, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Longoria was transferred to the 60-day injured list in mid-July, which means he will be out until at least early August. An activation when first eligible appears to be a possibility, and he could begin a rehab assignment before the end of the month.

Chicago won't activate Duffy (back) from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Duffy looked on track to return from the IL for Thursday's series finale in St. Louis, and though he hasn't suffered any sort of setback, the Cubs will instead wait at least one more day to reinstate him. Rather than bringing back Duffy, the Cubs called up reliever Trevor Megill from Triple-A Iowa to fill the opening on the active roster created by infielder Sergio Alcantara's demotion. Once activated, Duffy will likely be relegated to a utility role in the infield, though he could settle into a near-everyday role in the event Kris Bryant's hamstring injury forces him to the IL.
