The Mariners acquired Castro from the Dodgers on Sunday in exchange for Kris Negron, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Castro has put together a .241/.304/.295 slash line with a home run and 11 RBI over 45 games this season for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He last surfaced in the big leagues during the 2018 campaign, though his stay lasted just 18 contests. He figures to be assigned to Triple-A Tacoma following Sunday's transaction and will serve as organizational depth.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Rojas kicked off the scoring in this one in the first inning with a solo homer to left field. Thought power isn't typically one of the 30-year-old's strengths, he's now left the yard in back-to-back contests, putting him at three home runs through 99 games this season.

Bichette will have his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Monday's game against Kansas City, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette has put together a .277/.336/.477 slash line with eight homers and 32 RBI over 55 games this season for Triple-A, and following Eric Sogard's departure, he'll get a shot to make his major-league debut. Freddy Galvis could be in danger of losing playing time at shortstop as a result.

Gordon (quadriceps) took batting practice on the field prior to the Mariners' game Sunday against the Tigers, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Gordon was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday on account of the strained left quadriceps, but the fact that he's already resuming activities suggests the 31-year-old could be in store for an abbreviated IL stint. He could attempt to resume a running program at some point next week, which would provide the Mariners with a better gauge for when he might be ready for activation.

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Phillies.

The Braves have settled on Camargo as the primary replacement at shortstop while Dansby Swanson (foot) is stuck on the injured list. With zero hits in 13 at-bats while starting the past three contests, Camargo has yet to take advantage of the opportunity afforded him. For his part, Swanson said he expects to be sidelined for close to the minimum 10 days, leaving Camargo with little time to get his bat going.

Correa (elbow) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Sunday against the Cardinals, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

In his second game back from a rib injury that sidelined him for two months, Correa busted out with a base hit and his first career grand slam before exiting in the ninth inning, when he was spiked in the right elbow. Correa downplayed the issue after the game and will be cleared to start the series finale, with the treatment he received for the laceration apparently having taken care of the matter.

Anderson (ankle) went 2-for-5 with a home run while serving as the designated hitter for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Anderson was supposed to get the day off, but the White Sox changed course and had him play a fourth straight game, David Just of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. That the team called an audible on the planned day off is a good sign the injured shortstop is nearing a return. He'll be in the lineup for a fifth straight day Sunday. Anderson is 7-for-18 with four RBI and three runs scored in four rehab games with the Knights. With an off day coming Monday, the White Sox could have Anderson back in the fold Tuesday.

Gordon has experienced improvement in his right quadriceps strain and could begin baseball activities this coming week, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The knot that Gordon had in his quadriceps muscle has reportedly dissolved, leading manager Scott Servais to suggest Gordon could ramp up his activity level in the coming days. The veteran was a prime candidate to be moved prior to the July 31 trade deadline, but the timing of his injury has presumably all but tied him to the Mariners for the remainder of 2019.

Fletcher went 4-for-5 with three RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Orioles.

Fletcher provided a go-ahead two-run double in the second inning that gave the Angels a 4-2 lead. Fletcher added an RBI single in the ninth inning as the Halos tried to rally one more time, and he stole second base while representing the winning run, but the comeback push failed when Justin Upton popped out. Fletcher is hitting .298/.360/.415 with 36 RBI, 55 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 100 games this season.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win at Miami.

Ahmed provided the Diamondbacks with a 6-1 lead during the fourth inning with his one-out grand slam, the second of his career. The 29-year-old had only two extra-base hits in 13 games since the All-Star break entering Saturday, though he did have a .293 average in that stretch.
