Cleveland recalled Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Tena earns a September call-up to the Guardians after slashing .275/.359/.419 with eight homers and 16 steals in 96 games this summer between Double-A and Triple-A. The 22-year-old can back up multiple spots on the infield as Cleveland aims to gain ground in the AL Central standings.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

Volpe recorded both extra-base hits in the contest for New York. His fourth-inning double was negated when he was picked off second base, but he made up for that lapse with a clutch homer in the ninth, slugging a two-out, three-run, game-tying shot off Detroit closer Alex Lange that resulted in the contest going into extra innings. The long ball was Volpe's 20th of the campaign, and he's already recorded 21 thefts, making him the first player in franchise history to put up a 20-20 performance as a rookie. Volpe had also recorded a 20-20 season in each of his previous two years in the minors.

DeJong is not in the lineup Thursday at San Diego.

Casey Schmitt will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the visiting Giants. DeJong has gone 3-for-25 (.120) through his first seven games with San Francisco after a 3-for-44 (.068) run with Toronto.

Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Thursday against Atlanta, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

After having his six-game hitting streak snapped Wednesday, Rojas will get a breather and hand starting shortstop duties to Amed Rosario, who will bat ninth Thursday.

Berti is not in the lineup Thursday against the Nationals.

Joey Wendle will get a second consecutive start at shortstop as the Marlins face another right-hander in Joan Adon. Berti has out-produced Wendle on the whole this year, but the veteran speedster carries a weak .255/.294/.319 season slash line versus righties.

The Red Sox optioned Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

With Wilyer Abreu returning from the paternity list, Hamilton will end up being Boston's roster casualty. The 25-year-old infielder is just 4-for-33 across 15 games in the majors this season.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Baez is not in the lineup for the second straight game Thursday because "he's beat up a little bit and not feeling 100 percent," Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Hinch didn't specify what exactly Baez is dealing with, but it's probably safe to say he's battling some general soreness but should be ready to return to the lineup over the weekend. Zach McKinstry is playing shortstop for Detroit on Thursday versus the Yankees.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a stolen base in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

Crawford plated the tying and go-ahead runs with his timely seventh-inning single, sealing the comeback victory for Seattle. Crawford's steal was only his second of the season, and the veteran shortstop has now cobbled together an impressive .294 average -- including a .455 figure with men on base -- and .984 OPS over the nine games he's played since returning from a stint on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion.

Anderson went 1-for-6 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Orioles.

Anderson has started eight games since returning from suspension, and he has struck out a 39.5 percent clip in that span. Though he hasn't homered, he has balanced his lack of contact with five extra-base hits and has also scored five runs. It remains a disappointing campaign for Anderson, though as the White Sox's leadoff hitter, he could be a source of stolen bases and runs scored across the final month of the season.

Volpe will start at shortstop and bat third in Thursday's game against the Tigers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Aaron Judge is getting a day off, so Gleyber Torres will move up to the two hole and Volpe will occupy Torres' usual spot at No. 3 in the order. The rookie shortstop has cranked six home runs in August to push his season total to 19, but he's batting just .216.
