Atlanta designated Ornelas for assignment Friday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jhancarlos Lara. It's the second time Ornelas has been designated for assignment this season, as the Rangers booted him off their 40-man roster in May before trading him to Atlanta. He's spent most of the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he's slashed only .196/.295/.303 in 115 contests.

Adames went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Adames has gone cold at the plate, going 0-for-13 with four walks and six strikeouts over the first four games of the Giants' current road trip. However, the veteran shortstop has logged three steals over his last 11 games and is up to 11 thefts on 14 attempts this season. Adames has added a .226/.318/.420 slash line with 28 home runs, 82 RBI, 88 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples through 151 contests.

Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Ortiz will receive a day off Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth.

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

After missing five straight games due to an unspecified issue, Ritter had returned to the lineup to start in both of the Rockies' past two contests. He went hitless with two strikeouts in five at-bats between those games and will now retreat to the bench Wednesday. Orlando Arcia will get the nod at second base in Ritter's stead.

Padres manager Mike Shildt said Tuesday that Bogaerts (foot) took part in workouts at the team's facility in Arizona over the previous two days and could return from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series in Chicago versus the White Sox, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bogaerts was involved in a full range of baseball activities, as he did some running, fielded grounders at shortstop and hit against live pitching. Completing a running progression appears to be the final hurdle that Bogaerts will need to clear before being activated, with Shildt noting that the 32-year-old is sprinting at about 80-to-85 percent intensity at this point. Bogaerts has been on the IL since Aug. 29 due to a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win against the Padres.

Lindor singled and scored a run in the first inning before ripping a home run in the second. It was his 27th long ball of the year and snapped a 14-game homerless drought. Lindor has gone deep just twice over his last 24 contests but still has a shot at his third straight 30-homer campaign. He's now slashing .265/.340/.454 with 60 extra-base hits and 105 runs scored through 149 games.

Kim is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Kim started at shortstop in the matinee and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. The 29-year-old will head to the bench for the nightcap, allowing Nick Allen to pick up a start at shortstop.

The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Peguero has slashed just .200/.273/.363 in 33 games for the Pirates this season and had made only two starts this month. He's being replaced on the roster by catcher Rafael Flores.

Betts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Betts had no trouble getting the ball in the air Monday, supplying sacrifice flies in the third and fifth innings before getting one to go over the fence for a solo shot in the seventh. He is batting .381 (21-for-55) with five homers and 19 RBI over 13 games in September, numbers more in line with the level of production expected of a star player. He's up to a .263/.331/.415 slash line on the year while adding 19 homers, 78 RBI, 92 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 22 doubles and two triples through 139 contests. While his progress lately has been encouraging, he's still tracking toward an OPS under .800 for the first time in his career.

Perdomo went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, two walks, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 8-1 win over the Giants.

Perdomo was productive all throughout this contest, extending his hitting streak to six games. He's gone 10-for-19 with four extra-base hits, seven walks and six RBI in that span. The shortstop's hot hitting has him up to a .290/.391/.462 slash line for the year, and he's added 19 homers, five triples, 28 doubles, 97 RBI, 93 runs scored and 26 stolen bases over 150 games.
