Marte isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against Pittsburgh.

Marte has become a regular presence in right field for the Reds of late, starting seven of the team's past eight games at that position. However, he'll give way in right field Friday to Jake Fraley.

Atlanta claimed Brujan off outright waivers Friday.

Brujan began the season with the Cubs before being DFA'd in late July. The Orioles claimed him off waivers Aug. 3, but he played in only one game with the club, notching a hit in his only at-bat. Brujan will now likely fill a utility role for an Atlanta roster that could use help at third base while Austin Riley (abdomen) is unavailable. Brujan's logged time at every position on the field except for pitcher, catcher and first base this season.

Pauley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

The third baseman capped a five-run second inning when he ripped a Carlos Carrasco sinker down the right-field line. Pauley is batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last 10 games, a stretch that includes all three of his homers in the majors this season.

Manager Brian Snitker said Thursday that Alvarez is dealing with side soreness caused by a slide he made during Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez's injury will cause him to miss out on the starting nine for Thursday's series opener against the Marlins, though there's a chance he may be available off the bench. Jonathan Ornelas will man the hot corner and bat eighth while Alvarez recovers.

Marte is starting in right field and batting seventh in Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

Instead of benching Marte after trading for Ke'Bryan Hayes, the Reds have made Marte their full-time right fielder, starting him at the position six times across their last seven tilts. Marte is slashing only .216/.216/.324 over his last 10 games and will likely need to pick it back up offensively if he wants to continue playing every day, but Cincinnati appears prepared to do what it can to keep the 23-year-old's bat in the lineup.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

The White Sox have two openings in the infield after Chase Meidroth (thumb) joined Miguel Vargas (oblique) on the injured list Thursday, but Rojas may not be in line to take on a regular role while the two players are on the shelf. After a stretch of five consecutive starts, the left-handed-hitting Rojas now finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher (Logan Gilbert). Chicago will go with Lenyn Sosa at second base and Brooks Baldwin at third base in the series finale.

Arenado (shoulder) is tentatively slated to rejoin the Cardinals on Aug. 18 before their series against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Arenado is headed to the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, Florida on Friday to strengthen his injured right shoulder before eventually participating in rehab games with the club's rookie-level Florida Complex League squad. If all goes well on that front, he will then make the short drive from Jupiter to Miami to rejoin the Cardinals for the start of a road trip. Arenado has slashed just .167/.219/.200 over his last 17 games since suffering finger and shoulder injuries.

Pauley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over Houston.

The third baseman took Hector Neris deep in the fifth inning. Pauley has two homers on the season for the Marlins, but both have come in the last seven games, and since the All-Star break he's batting .278 (10-for-36) with three RBI and five runs. Connor Norby (wrist) still lacks a firm timeline for his return, but Pauley is beginning to make a case to keep the starting job at third base regardless of when Norby gets activated.

Clement went 4-for-7 with a double, a solo home run and four total runs scored in Wednesday's rout of the Rockies.

His ninth-inning shot off position player Austin Nola gave Clement his sixth homer of the season. The 29-year-old utility player took full advantage of a trip to Coors Field, going 9-for-18 with four extra-base hits and seven runs scored, as the Blue Jays set an MLB record for hits (63) and a franchise record for runs (45) over the three-game series. Through 433 plate appearances this year, Clement has a career-best .290 batting average and .325 OBP while adding three steals, 34 RBI and 61 runs.

House is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Since the All-Star break, House has put together a lowly .229/.235/.250 slash line in 14 contests, and his downturn in production is beginning to cost him some playing time. He'll hit the bench for the second time in four games and the third time in seven contests while Paul DeJong receives a start at third base in his stead.
