The Orioles recalled Rodriguez from Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.

Rodriguez has thrown 2.2 innings of one-run ball with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate since joining the organization in mid-July. He'll now join the big-league bullpen for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, though he will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage outings after turning in an 8.68 ERA in 18.2 innings with the Brewers. Yaramil Hiraldo was optioned to Double-A in a corresponding move.

Schuemann isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Schuemann is expected to receive regular action at shortstop with Jacob Wilson (forearm) now on the injured list, but the A's will give the former a day off Tuesday following his 0-for-4 performance Monday. Darell Hernaiz will fill in at short and bat ninth.

The Blue Jays designated Green for assignment Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Green will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters in Toronto following the acquisition of Seranthony Dominguez from Baltimore on Tuesday. Green has regressed considerably from last season, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.41 WHIP alongside a 34:13 K:BB through 42.2 innings.

Perez (elbow) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against Atlanta.

Perez departed Monday's contest with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch, but he's back in the starting nine for the second game of the series. The veteran slugger has carried a hot bat in July with seven doubles, nine homers, 20 RBI and a .346/.391/.765 slash line in 22 games this month.

The Athletics recalled Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old will join the big-league roster as the replacement for Jacob Wilson (forearm), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. Hernaiz has spent the entire season in Triple-A, slashing .305/.384/.423 with 50 RBI, 66 runs scored and 12 steals through 441 plate appearances. Max Schuemann will likely see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Wilson is out, though Hernaiz could crack the starting nine against southpaws.

The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left forearm, retroactive to Saturday.

Wilson sat out the Athletics' last three games due to what was initially described as a bruised hand that he had been playing through since getting hit by a pitch before the All-Star break. Now that his injury has been revealed to be a forearm fracture, he'll land on the IL and receive time to recover properly. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the big club's infield depth, though Max Schuemann projects as the likely choice to take over as the Athletics' primary shortstop.

Watts-Brown was acquired by the Orioles from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander was a third-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft and is being shipped out at the deadline in order to improve the bullpen. Watts-Brown has made 11 starts at the Double-A level this season and has a 3.48 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 53:26 K:BB across 52.1 innings.

The Blue Jays acquired Dominguez from the Orioles in exchange for Juaron Watts-Brown between games of Tuesday's doubleheader in Baltimore, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It ordinarily takes a couple days for a new player to join their new team, but Dominguez will be able to simply swap clubhouses in the middle of Tuesday's twin bill. The right-hander was expected to be in the mix for saves in Baltimore with Felix Bautista (shoulder) on the IL, but he should fill a setup role for Toronto. Dominguez has a 3.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season.

Springer (head) remains out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Baltimore.

Springer was forced out of Monday's 11-4 loss to the Orioles after being hit on the head by a pitch and will end up sitting out both legs of Tuesday's doubleheader. He reported improvement prior to the first game Tuesday and should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Bo Bichette will get a start at designated hitter for the Blue Jays in Tuesday's nightcap.

Lucas (3-3) was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo after being charged with the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles. He gave up four runs on four hits with two walks and one strikeout over 2.2 innings.

It was a long day for Toronto's pitching staff, which surrendered 16 runs on 19 hits, including four homers. It was the fifth start in six MLB appearances this year for Lucas, who has a 6.66 ERA and 23:12 K:BB across 24.1 innings. Paxton Schultz was called up to provide bullpen help for Tuesday's nightcap.
