Rivera was designated for assignment by Miami on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rivera will be subjected to waivers after hitting just .183 with three RBI over 34 games this season with the Marlins. Hector Noesi was promoted to the big leagues in a corresponding move.

Newman went 1-for-4 with a three-run double against Milwaukee on Monday.

He's showing few signs of slowing down the way he did in 2018, when he struggled as a September callup. Newman has swiped four bases in his last six starts and continues to hit -- he's slashing .310/.354/.426. Interestingly, he's posted identical career batting averages (.287) to date in both the minor and major leagues.

Anderson went 4-for-7 with three doubles and three runs scored across both games of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

His barrage of two-baggers didn't help the Marlins win either end of the twin bill, but it did continue an impressive power display from Anderson. Over his last 10 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .324/.409/.730 with four homers and eight RBI in addition to Monday's doubles.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a walk and a pair of RBI in Monday's win over Arizona.

Batting out of the fifth spot for the first time in over a month, rather than his usual No. 2 spot, Segura came through twice with runners in scoring position. He drove in Bryce Harper with an RBI single in the third inning and knocked in Cesar Hernandez with another single in the seventh. Segura has hit .375/.457/.500 over his last 10 games, with twice as many multi-hit performances (six) as strikeouts (three).

Davis went 2-for-2 with a double and a solo home run in the second game of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Marlins.

After getting the start in left field in the matinee and going 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored, Davis was on the bench to begin the nightcap but entered the lineup as part of a double switch before going yard in the seventh -- the first of three solo shots by the Mets in the inning that turned the game around. The 26-year-old is slashing .371/.452/.597 with three homers and 10 RBI in 20 games since the All-Star break, and with Jeff McNeil likely to be needed more frequently at second base in the wake of a potentially season-ending injury to Robinson Cano (hamstring), Davis should be a fixture in an outfield corner as long as he's raking.

The Tigers placed Candelario on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained left thumb.

Candelario suffered the hand injury in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Rangers and was sent in for X-rays a day later. While the scans cleared Candelario of any structural damage to his thumb, the Tigers determined a few days off wouldn't be enough for the third baseman to recover from the injury. The Tigers recalled Dawel Lugo from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move and could turn to some combination of him and Harold Castro to cover the hot corner while Candelario is on the shelf.

Astudillo (oblique) started swinging a bat before Monday's game, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports

Astudillo is finally showing some signs of progress after being sidelined since going on the IL in late June. He's likely going to need a lengthy rehab assignment, so he may not return to the team until rosters expand in September.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over the Giants.

It was a rare stolen base for Rendon; his second of the year matches his total from the 2018 season. Monday was also his second multi-hit outing over the last three days, bumping his slash line to .317/.402/.604 in 430 plate appearances.

Senzel went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Angels.

Senzel extended Cincinnati's lead to four in the first inning, plating a pair of runs on a single to right field. The 24-year-old has pieced together a .278/.335/.458 slash line with eight homers and 33 RBI over 75 games this season for the Reds.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

The third baseman continues to bulk up his numbers in a breakout season. Devers is slashing .315/.348/.639 in 25 games since the All-Star break, and on the year he's already established new career highs with 23 homers, 87 RBI and 92 runs through 112 contests.
