Seymour allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out one over three innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.

Seymour worked in long relief once again, giving up two singles and two doubles while throwing 28 of his 44 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old has surrendered five runs in his last eight innings and overall owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 12:4 K:BB across 14 innings in six appearances.

In four appearances since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, Rogers has logged 3.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts.

Rogers extended his scoreless streak Saturday against the Cardinals despite allowing a hit and a walk in his inning of relief. The lefty hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 16 appearances dating back to June 19, when he was pitching for the Reds. Rogers has a stellar 2.23 ERA and 9.7 K/9 across 36.1 innings this season, and he's slotted in as the top southpaw in Chicago's bullpen, working as a key setup option ahead of closer Daniel Palencia.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals. He also stole a base.

Tucker, who recently downplayed the impact a lingering finger injury has had on his swing, still has just one home run since the All-Star break. However, the talented outfielder was productive Saturday all the same. Tucker's fantasy ceiling is a bit lower if he's not leaving the yard consistently, but he can still deliver in other ways, including on the bases, as he now has 24 stolen bases this season in 26 attempts. His career high is 30 steals, which he recorded back in 2023 with the Astros.

Steer started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

Steer returned to the lineup after getting a breather Friday. He's struggled at the dish since the All-Star break and entered Saturday batting .145 (9-for-62) over the previous 18 contests. Despite the slump, Steer has managed to provide a few key hits, knocking in 11 runs during that time.

Greene (groin) allowed five runs on two hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

This was Greene's fourth rehab outing and third at the Triple-A level, and he upped his pitch count to 79. The workload at least indicates he could re-enter the Reds' rotation at any time, but the venue for the right-hander's next start is still to be determined. Greene has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) on 10 hits, including four home runs, and five walks while striking out 24 over 13 rehab innings.

Moreno (finger) has recently resumed participating in simulated games at the Diamondbacks' spring training facility in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

Moreno has been on the shelf since the middle of June and will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list. He's eligible to rejoin the Diamondbacks on Aug. 18, but it's not clear yet if he'll be a realistic option to return on that date.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said that Smith (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Smith had been taking live at-bats in simulated games at the organization's training facility in Arizona and is now ready to test himself in an uncontrolled game setting. According to Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Lovullo said that he's hopeful Smith will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list during the Diamondbacks' next homestand, which begins Aug. 18. Once he's activated, Smith should reclaim a near-everyday role at either first base or designated hitter after he posted an .817 OPS in 264 plate appearances prior to landing on the shelf July 6 due to a right oblique strain.

Devers went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.

The 28-year-old slugger got the Giants on the board by taking Brad Lord deep in the sixth inning. Devers has found a groove since the All-Star break, slashing ,276/.389/.526 over his last 20 games with five of his 22 homers on the season, and his conversion to first base seems to be going smoothly. While he was in the lineup as the DH on Saturday, Devers has played eight games so far at first base, leaving him close to gaining eligibility in most fantasy formats.

Whisenhunt (1-1) took the loss Saturday as the Giants fell 4-2 to the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Four of the five hits off the rookie southpaw went for extra bases, including solo shots by James Wood, Paul DeJong and Josh Bell. Whisenhunt has been taken deep five times in his first 14.1 big-league innings, fueling a 5.02 ERA, but the Giants seem likely to keep him in the rotation at least until Landen Roupp (elbow) returns. Whisenhunt lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Rays.

The Cardinals do not expect Arenado (shoulder) to return from the 10-day injured list during their upcoming Aug. 18-24 road trip, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado reported to the team's spring training facility in Florida on Friday and his focus for the first week he's there will be to regain strength in his injured right shoulder. It's not clear when the veteran third baseman might be ready to rejoin the Cardinals' active roster. St. Louis has used Nolan Gorman (six starts) and Thomas Saggese (two starts) at the hot corner since Arenado landed on the IL.
