Story (thumb) is not in the lineup again on Tuesday as the Rockies host the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Story was taken out of Saturday's game with a thumb injury. It was thought that he would return to the lineup on Tuesday, but it looks like the Rockies will give him at least one extra day off. The Rockies will be extra careful with their young slugger and wait until he's fully healthy before putting him back in the lineup. Daniel Descalso will get the start at short for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Adrianza (foot) was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.

With Mac Williamson landing on the DL with a shoulder injury Tuesday, Adrianza was reinstated to take his spot on the active roster. Adrianza had been on the shelf since the second week of the season after suffering a fractured foot. He slashed .323/.353/.871 with five home runs in eight minor league rehab games before being activated. However, the Giants' current infield construction may make it difficult for Adrianza to see regular playing time.

Adrianza (foot) was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday.

On his rehab assignment, Adrianza posted a .294/.329/.632 line with six home runs between High-A San Jose and Triple-A Sacramento. Now that he's back with the big club, Adrianza will likely serve as a backup to Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik.

Tejada cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.

After being designated for assignment on Jul. 20, Tejada successfully went through waivers unclaimed and will return to the Giants' organization. However, now that he's lost his spot on the 40-man roster, Tejada may not be back up with the big league club until much later in the season unless the Giants experience a rash of injuries to the infield.

Diaz (thumb) has been placed on the 15-day DL, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

As planned, Diaz has officially been placed on the disabled list with a hairline fracture on his thumb. The team has yet to announce a timeframe for his return, but they'll want to be careful with their rookie shortstop, as Diaz is in the midst of a phenomenal season and owns a .312/.376/.518 line.

Arcia will be called up Tuesday to make his major league debut.

Following the trade of Jonathan Lucroy and the team's top two relievers on Monday, the Brewers are set to open a new era by calling up their top prospect. Arcia reached the Triple-A level for the first time this year and did not tear the cover off the ball in the hitter-friendly PCL, but his defense has been major-league ready for a while, and the Brewers are ready to let him get his feet wet at the top level. According to manager Craig Counsell, via MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, Arcia will assume the regular shortstop duties right away, and Jonathan Villar will slide over and become the Brewers' third baseman.

Diaz (thumb) was diagnosed with a hairline fracture and will need to spend time on the DL, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It's expected that the Cardinals' rookie will be on the disabled list for more than 15 days, as his thumb injury is more severe than initially expected. Greg Garcia will likely start at shortstop while Diaz recovers; however, Jedd Gyorko is also an option, as he's occasionally spent time at shortstop this season.

Urena homered in his second straight game, going 4-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored Thursday for Single-A Dunedin.

One night after MLB.com ranked Richard Urena as the Blue Jays' top prospect, the 20-year-old shortstop showed why. The native of the Dominican Republic impressed last year during his first full season in the minors, cutting down his fielding errors while tallying 37 extra-base hits and hitting .262 over 121 games after committing to switch-hitting in 2014. This year, Urena has been even more consistent, batting .299/.344/.447 with eight homers, 18 doubles and seven triples in 93 Florida State League games. In the second half, he's 50-for-134 with a .413 on-base percentage and 13 extra-base hits over 33 games.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo homer Sunday at the Angels.

Bogaerts smashed his 14th bomb of the campaign to cap off a five-run ninth inning in a thrilling Red Sox victory. He's now homered in three of his last five games to raise his slugging percentage to .486 on the campaign.

Gordon went 1-for-2 with two walks in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

He saw an impressive 20 pitches in his four plate appearances and Gordon has now reached base seven times in the last three games while scoring four runs and stealing a base. Not coincidentally the Marlins have also scored 22 runs in those three games, as Gordon's presence in the leadoff spot has helped kick-start the offense.
