The Padres acquired Quintana, left-hander Nestor Cortes (elbow) and cash from the Padres on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Brandon Lockridge.

Quintana received a significant signing bonus after joining the Brewers organization as a teenager out of Venezuela in January 2024, but he has performed merely adequately at the rookie-ball level. The 18-year-old infielder posted a .264/.349/.403 slash line with three home runs and 19 steals in 50 games in the Arizona Complex League this season.

The Marlins acquired Jaworsky, right-hander Ryan Gusto and outfielder Esmil Valencia from the Astros on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Jesus Sanchez, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Jaworsky, who turned 21 years old Thursday, slashed .242/.353/.359 with three home runs and 24 steals in 57 games at High-A Asheville this season. He is a plus runner and capable defender in the middle infield. Jaworsky is expected to join the Marlins' High-A affiliate in Beloit.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Tigers.

While the shortstop had a big day at the plate, highlighted by a solo shot off Tommy Kahnle in the ninth inning, Perdomo was fighting the ball in the field, committing two errors that added three unearned runs to Ryne Nelson's ledger. Perdomo snapped an 0-for-16 skid with the performance, but he wraps up July with a .322/.431/.456 slash line on the month, along with two homers, two steals, 11 runs and a whopping 17 RBI in 25 games.

The Cubs traded Cruz to the Nationals on Wednesday alongside Christian Franklin in exchange for Michael Soroka, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Cruz has yet to make it past rookie ball since being drafted 90th overall last year. The 18-year-old infielder is slashing .271/.314/.429 through 191 plate appearances in the Arizona Complex League and will aim to join the Nationals' Single-A affiliate before the end of the season.

Winn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

With a team off day on tap Thursday, the Cardinals will hold Winn out of the lineup for the series finale Wednesday to effectively give him a two-day break. Thomas Saggese steps in at shortstop in place of Winn, who had started in each of the Cardinals' first 12 games of the second half while slashing .378/.391/.467 with zero home runs, one steal, seven RBI and three runs.

The Pirates acquired Stafura, left-hander Taylor Rogers and cash considerations from the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor is a battle-tested reliever, but Stafura, a 20-year-old infielder, is the more intriguing long-term piece for the Pirates. A 2023 second-round pick, Stafura has spent the entire season at Single-A Daytona, slashing .262/.393/.411 with four home runs wile going 28-for-33 on stolen-base attempts over 401 plate appearances. Stafura is likely to report to the Pirates' Florida State League affiliate in Bradenton.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Pirates.

Adames continued his hot second-half hitting -- he's now 16-for-41 (.390) with four homers and nine RBI since the All-Star break. His long ball Tuesday was one of just two base hits for the Giants in this low-scoring loss. Adames is up to 16 homers, 57 RBI, 64 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .238/.325/.415 slash line across 107 contests. He's been batting third or fourth frequently since the break after hitting lower in the order at the tail end of June.

Kiner-Falefa isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Kiner-Falefa will get a chance to rest his legs after driving in two RBI and scoring during Monday's contest. His absence will allow Liover Peguero to pick up a start at shortstop while batting ninth.

Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Giants.

Kiner-Falefa narrowly missed a home run on a fly ball to center field in the second inning, though he still managed to drive in two after it bounced off the wall. Like many of the Pirates' regulars, he has struggled to produce much at the plate in July, going just 15-for-66 with six RBI and four runs scored across 21 games. Kiner-Falefa is also a trade candidate, so he may begin to lose out on playing time if he is dealt to a contender.

De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

De La Cruz didn't have a role in either of Cincinnati's runs, but he managed to steal his 29th base of the season. That puts him on the verge of a third consecutive season with 30-plus steals. He led the majors in 2024 with 67 steals.
