MLB Player News

Wisely is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With the Giants facing a left-hander for the second straight game, Wisely will take a seat once again Tuesday. In his place, Casey Schmitt will bat ninth and play second base.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Schneemann will be on the bench for a second consecutive game, missing the starting lineup Tuesday as the Diamondbacks start left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Tyler Freeman will shift to shortstop while Lane Thomas fills center field.

The Astros selected Dezenzo's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dezenzo will make his MLB debut despite having missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a wrist injury and having appeared in merely 11 games at the Triple-A level. While he doesn't have much experience at the highest level of the minors, Dezenzo was highly impressive at Sugar Land following his promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi in late July. Over 53 plate appearances at Triple-A, Dezenzo slashed .391/.472/.739 with four home runs, three stolen bases and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old is capable of playing both corner-infield spots, but with Alex Bregman entrenched at third base, Dezenzo will most likely get his first look at the big-league level at first base and designated hitter.

Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

The rookie snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth with his single, which brought home JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof to give the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Prior to Monday, Schuemann had gone 11 games without an RBI, a stretch during which he'd hit just .200 overall and a miserable .077 with runners on base. Despite those forgettable numbers, Schuemann may be in the early stages of a resurgence, now having hit safely in three of his past four games.

Pena went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Rangers.

Pena had a nine-game hitting streak spanning from July 14 to July 27, during which he hit .412 with six RBI and seven runs scored. He's slumped in eight games since by going just 4-for-30 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate, though he showed signs of breaking out of that slide with his multi-hit performance Monday. Pena is up to 50 RBI on the season, 14 away from setting a new career high.

Rojas (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday.

Rojas has been shelved since late July with right forearm tightness but has been cleared for game action. Since his absence has been relatively brief, he shouldn't require many rehab games before being activated. Rojas will overtake Nick Ahmed at shortstop once he's ready. Mookie Betts (hand) is also due back from the injured list soon, though the Dodgers don't seem to have decided on which position he'll play once activated.

Edwards went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Reds.

He remains one of the few bright spots in the Marlins' depleted lineup. Edwards has his safely in eight straight games, batting .469 (15-for-32) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .383/.456/.470 through 137 plate appearances with a homer, 12 steals, 13 RBI and 19 runs.

Hamilton went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 win over Kansas City.

Hamilton made a second consecutive start and could be emerging from a slump. Coming out of the All-Star break, Hamilton went 3-for-33 (.091) over 10 games before given a couple of days off over the weekend. That may have been the cure; Hamilton went 4-for-8 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two steals in starts Sunday and Monday.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Seager turned on a Ryan Pressly four-seamer in the eighth inning for his fourth home run in the last four games. The blast tied the game at 2-2, setting up the extra frame. Seager's hit well since the All-Star break, posting a line of .313/.375/.578 with five homers, seven RBI and 11 runs scored over 17 games.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Fitzgerald took the second pitch of the game out to left field for a leadoff homer. The 26-year-old has taken over leadoff duties versus left-handed starters -- he's been atop the order against the last three southpaws the Giants have faced since Jorge Soler was traded to Atlanta. Fitzgerald has certainly earned a prominent spot in the lineup with 11 homers over his last 17 contests and a .314/.373/.650 slash line across 153 plate appearances this year.
