Tovar was added to the Rockies' 40-man roster Friday.

The move means Tovar won't be available for selection in the upcoming Rule 5 draft. He's still far from his major-league debut, as he struggled significantly upon his promotion to High-A Spokane, hitting .239/.266/.396 in 32 games.

Castillo's contract was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Castillo was traded from the Yankees to the Pirates in late July, and he'll now join Pittsburgh's 40-man roster to prevent him from reaching minor-league free agency. The 24-year-old made 18 appearances in Indianapolis and slashed .278/.414/.500 with three homers, 18 runs and seven RBI.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series.

Swanson extended Atlanta's lead with his two-run blast in the fifth inning, and he fielded the game-winning out as the team clinched the title. He started each of the six games in the World Series and hit .200 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs.

Camargo was added to Atlanta's World Series roster Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Camargo will replace Ehire Adrianza, who was placed on the paternity list. Adrianza has been limited to bench duty this postseason, and Camargo is likely to fill a similar role.

Adrianza was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

With a maximum of two games left in the World Series, the move presumably ends Adrianza's season. It won't have much of an impact on Atlanta's plans, as Adrianza has been limited to pinch-hitting duties during the postseason, going 1-for-10 at the plate. Johan Camargo will fill that role in his absence.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Saturday's World Series Game 4 win over the Astros.

Swanson came to the plate against Cristian Javier with one out and a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning. He took an 0-2 fastball over the right-field wall to tie the game, with Jorge Soler repeating the feat one batter later to give Atlanta the lead. Swanson's postseason has been unimpressive overall even after his Game 4 heroics, as he's hitting just .240/.283/.320 in 14 playoff games.

Rojas underwent an MRI on his left index finger Thursday and could require surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas signed a two-year, $10 million extension earlier in the week, but the news isn't all positive about the veteran shortstop. It's not yet clear exactly what's wrong with his finger, nor is it clear whether any potential procedure could cause him to miss time at the start of next season.

Rojas agreed Wednesday with the Marlins on a two-year, $10 million contract extension, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 32-year-old shortstop's new deal keep him on the Marlins' books through 2023 in what looks to be a relative bargain of a deal. While Rojas' lack of high-end tools renders him rather unexciting from a fantasy perspective, he's proven to be a steady compiler when healthy while offering a high batting-average floor. Over his last three seasons in Miami, Rojas has been a near-league-average hitter with a .277/.334/.398 slash line (99 wRC+). He's also graded out well as a defender in each of those years while serving as a sneaky source of speed (27-for-36 on steal attempts).

Camargo was dropped from the roster ahead of the World Series against the Astros, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Camargo has filled a very limited role in the postseason thus far, going hitless in four at-bats off the bench. Pinch hitters will be needed less frequently with the series partially taking place under American League rules, so while Camargo does provide some defensive flexibility, he's been deemed less useful than pinch-running specialist Terrance Gore.

Adames went 2-for-4 in Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Monday.

Adames got on base with a pair of singles, but his club was unable to capitalize, as Milwaukee was shut out for the second consecutive contest. He's now 4-for-12 with a double and six strikeouts over the first three games of the NLDS.
