Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in his first game with Single-A Palm Beach.

Rodriguez had been promoted earlier in the day from the rookie-level Florida Complex League, where he had slashed a ridiculous .362/.506/.828 with seven home runs and a 15:16 K:BB over 19 games. At 18, he's one of the youngest players in full-season ball. There are questions as to whether Rodriguez will be able to stick at catcher, but he's become one of the better power-hitting prospects in the low minors, slugging 18 homers in 62 contests.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

While all three knocks were singles, it was still another strong performance from d'Arnaud. The veteran catcher has seen steady work behind Logan O'Hoppe over the last few weeks and has responded by batting .310 (9-for-29) since May 18 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI.

Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Stephenson got the Reds on the board in the fourth with a two-run homer to right to even up the game. He now has four homers in his last eight games while racking up nine RBI over that span.

The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

Just three days after being claimed off waivers from the Angels, Robinson will find himself on the waiver wire once again as the roster casualty necessary to clear 40-man space for Jose Urena. Robinson, 30, is slashing .272/.315/.388 through 112 plate appearances in Triple-A but owns just a .364 OPS in his MLB career.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Tuesday marks the third time in San Diego's last four games that Martin Maldonado has started over Diaz, though the Padres typically still find a way to get Diaz a plate appearance or two every day.

Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Tromp elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday, but after spending less than a day on the open market, he'll return to his previous organization. The 30-year-old backstop has slashed .254/.338/.413 through 71 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.

Quero (hamstring) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 22-year-old opened the campaign on the injured list due to a hamstring injury but is ready to make his 2025 Triple-A debut after an 11-game rehab assignment in the lower minors. Quero, who is one of Milwaukee's top prospects, spent last season at the Double-A level and had a .262/.340/.443 slash line with 16 homers and five steals in 90 games.

The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Tyler Heineman back from the 7-day concussion injured list, the Jays no longer had a need for Sanchez. If Sanchez passes through waivers, he could stick around in the organization as catching depth.

O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

It appears to be a routine day of rest for O'Hoppe, who caught the previous two games and four of the past five contests. Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the dish and bat sixth for the Angels.

Wells is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

It's a routine day off for Wells, who started the previous three contests and five of the last six games. J.C. Escarra will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Yankees.
