The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Amador will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Thairo Estrada (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Rockies will throw Amador into the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, as he'll take over Estrada's usual spot at second base, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 22-year-old could see regular reps at the keystone while Estrada is out, but Amador has managed just a .180/.253/.256 batting line over 148 career plate appearances at the major-league level.

The Rockies placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain.

Estrada will head to the IL for the third time this season, after he was previously shut down due to a fractured right wrist and a sprained right thumb. The infielder suffered his latest injury while running out a grounder in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays and was spotted using crutches to move about the clubhouse after the game, per MLB.com. Colorado recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move, and he'll replace Estrada in the starting nine at second base in Wednesday's series finale with Toronto, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

House went 1-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's loss to the A's.

The rookie third baseman had a productive night, even though the Nationals were on the wrong end of a 16-7 rout. House hasn't homered in 14 straight games, slashing .224/.231/.245 over that stretch with a 1:15 BB:K, but a rebuilding Washington squad will live with some growing pains from the 2021 first-round pick.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the A's.

The second baseman stayed hot and helped fuel a seven-run outburst by the Nats' offense, although that paled in comparison to the 16 runs surrendered by the pitching staff. Over 15 games since the All-Star break, Garcia is slashing .298/.328/.439 with two doubles, two homers, one steal, seven RBI and eight runs.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Miley (forearm) will face hitters Friday, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.

It will be the first time Miley has faced live hitters since he went down with a left flexor strain in late June. Miley will be eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list Aug. 16, and he could be ready to return then or shortly thereafter. That said, there's no guarantee the Reds will have a role available for Miley at that time.

Koss went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.

Koss drew the start at second base for the first time since being reinstated from the injured list Friday. He launched a two-run homer in the third inning, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The 27-year-old infielder now has three home runs on the season and is slashing .262/.300/.379 with 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases across 113 plate appearances.

Encarnacion went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.

Encarnacion started in right field for the first time since being reinstated from the injured list Monday. The 27-year-old outfielder has missed significant time this season due to a strained oblique and fractured hand, but he returned Tuesday from an extended absence and hit his first homer of 2025. He's now slashing .148/.148/.296 with two runs scored, a home run, a double and a stolen base across 27 plate appearances.

Tong struck out eight while allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old right-hander has absolutely nothing left to prove in the Eastern League. Tong hasn't served up a home run since late May, and over 53 innings since the beginning of June he sports a 1.02 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 82:20 K:BB. The minor-league strikeout leader with 154 punchouts in 97 innings on the season, Tong should be getting a promotion to Triple-A any day now, especially with the trade of Blade Tidwell to the Giants having opened up a spot in the Syracuse rotation.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With the Reds sending a southpaw (Andrew Abbott) to the mound and the Cubs wrapping up their series versus Cincinnati with a day game after a night game, the left-handed-hitting Tucker will receive what appears to be a routine rest day. Tucker started in each of the Cubs' last 11 contests, slashing .237/.396/.289 with no home runs, no stolen bases, four RBI and four runs over that stretch. Willi Castro will replace Tucker in right field Wednesday.

Marsee went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

Not much went right for the Marlins in this one, but Marsee provided a highlight by leading off the bottom of the fifth inning with his first career big-league homer, as he launched an AJ Blubaugh sweeper 409 feet to right field. Marsee has gone 6-for-12 with a 5:5 BB:K and five extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple and a homer) in five games since his promotion, and the early returns suggest Miami has found its long-term answer in center field.
