Garcia (hand) is expected to resume a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.

Garcia has been on the injured list since June 22 due to a strained muscle in his left hand. He had previously been cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Northwest Arkansas on July 28, but he suffered a setback in his lone appearance for the Double-A affiliate. Manager Matt Quatraro said over the weekend that the 26-year-old was progressing toward a return to game action, and Garcia now appears ready to play for the first time in two and a half weeks. Garcia hasn't been able to replicate his success from a breakout 2025 campaign, but he still owns a respectable .261 average with three home runs, 30 RBI, 32 runs scored and five stolen bases over 69 contests with the Royals this season.

The Pirates reinstated Yorke (shoulder) from the minor-league 7-day injured list Tuesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Yorke was on the 7-day injured list since June 18 due to a shoulder injury. He has rejoined Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday after spending his rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton.

Toronto scratched Okamoto (knee) from Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Despite originally being listed in the starting lineup, Okamoto will not start Tuesday's affair against Boston and will continue to nurse his left knee contusion. Charles McAdoo will replace Okamoto at third base and will lead off for Toronto.

Okamoto (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Red Sox.

After missing Monday's series opener with Boston due to a left knee contusion, Okamoto will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old will handle duties in the hot corner and bat seventh for Toronto.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

There's no word yet on the corresponding roster move, but Pauley's promotion could signify Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is a candidate for the injured list. Pauley has slashed a dreadful .190/.229/.300 with one home run and a 5:25 BB:K over 41 games with the big club this season.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a second run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Gelof missed a month due to a knee injury, and he wasted no time in making an impact with a pair of extra-base hits. He's had a decent campaign interrupted by a couple of injuries. On the year, he's batting .277 with an .823 OPS, 12 homers, 31 RBI, 43 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 68 contests. Gelof looks poised for the lion's share of the playing time at third base, though Tommy White and Max Muncy will also be in the mix there as the Athletics' infield remains crowded.

Caminero went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 10-6 win over the Athletics.

Caminero had gone 0-for-10 with three walks and four strikeouts during the Rays' three-game series in Seattle over the weekend. A move to a more favorable hitting environment worked well for the third baseman, whose homer pulled the Rays within a run during their eighth-inning rally. Caminero is up to 34 homers on the year while batting .277 with a .917 OPS. He's added 74 RBI, 72 runs scored, 18 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 118 contests.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over the Rockies.

Arenado set the tone early with a first-inning slam, allowing the Diamondbacks to cruise to the win. This was his fourth homer over nine games in August, and he's batting .250 (8-for-32) with eight RBI this month. The third baseman is hitting .242 with a .755 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 55 runs scored, 20 doubles and four steals over 113 contests this year, and he's trending up as Arizona remains in the thick of the playoff race.

Baty went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

Baty broke things open in the first inning with his first career grand slam off Bryce Elder. The 26-year-old Baty has gone just 4-for-27 over his past 10 games, but two of those hits have left the yard. On the season, he's slashing .215/.286/.330 with eight homers, 38 RBI, 42 runs scored and five steals across 379 plate appearances.

Jung (calf) hasn't participated in baseball activities in over a week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The team reported last Wednesday that Jung would miss at least another 10 days, though the fact that he's yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities presumably means he's in store for a lengthier absence. He was placed on the 10-day injured list July 25 with a left calf strain and has done some running, but not much else to this point.
