Dodgers' Alek Thomas: Demoted to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Thomas to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Thomas has been starting regularly in center field against right-handed pitching since getting called up by the Dodgers on Aug. 22, but he won't stay in the majors after going 4-for-19 with a double and three RBI in his first seven games for Los Angeles. Enrique Hernandez and Tommy Edman figure to split time in center field going forward for the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Off injured list
The Dodgers reinstated Wrobleski (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
The left-hander landed on the shelf in mid-August due to forearm inflammation but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a single rehab appearance. Wrobleski has been a solid rotation piece for the Dodgers this year with a 3.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB over 126.1 innings, but he's poised to work out of the bullpen down the stretch.

Dalton Rushing C | LAD
Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Activated to serve as bench bat
The Dodgers reinstated Rushing (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, with manager Dave Roberts indicating that the 25-year-old will work as a left-handed bench bat, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Rushing landed on the shelf with a UCL tear in his right elbow in early August and isn't expected to catch again this season, but the Dodgers are bringing him back to the active roster due to his lefty bat. Will Smith (neck), who was also activated off the injured list Tuesday, and Hunter Feduccia will handle the catching duties for Los Angeles.

Will Smith C | LAD
Dodgers' Will Smith: Returns from injured list
The Dodgers reinstated Smith (neck) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Smith is ready to rejoin the Dodgers after missing nearly three months due to a neck injury. The veteran backstop went 4-for-16 with two doubles and a homer during his five-game rehab assignment and is looking to shake off an underwhelming start to the year that saw him post a .720 OPS through 52 games. Dalton Rushing (elbow) is also back from the injured list, though he's expected to served as a left-handed bench bat while Smith and Hunter Feduccia handle catching duties.

Drew Millas C | WAS
Nationals' Drew Millas: Moved to 60-day IL
The Nationals transferred Millas (finger) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Shifting Millas to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Nationals' September call-ups. Millas has been out since mid-July with a fractured left index finger. He'll be eligible to return in mid-September and should have a chance to be activated at some point this month.

Yohandy Morales 1B | WAS
Nationals' Yohandy Morales: First big-league call-up
The Nationals selected Morales' contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Morales earned a promotion to the big leagues by collecting a .286/.363/.519 batting line with 25 home runs and a 43:111 BB:K over 104 contests this season with Rochester. The 24-year-old has split his time between first and third base this season, and he should see fairly regular playing time down the stretch between those two positions and designated hitter.

Grant Holman RP | PHI
Phillies' Grant Holman: Added to Philadelphia bullpen
The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Holman was a waiver claim of the Phillies back in May and has posted a 3.60 ERA and 28:7 K:BB over 30 innings at the Triple-A level in 2026. He made 40 appearances for the Athletics over the previous two seasons, holding a 4.66 ERA and 33:18 K:BB in 38.2 frames.

Rafael Marchan C | PHI
Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Activated from injured list
The Phillies activated Marchan (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Marchan has been shelved since late July with left knee patellar tendinitis, but he's been cleared to return after playing 12 rehab games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 27-year-old will operate as an extra catcher for the Phillies in the final month.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Out two games for personal matter
Suarez won't be available Tuesday and Wednesday for the remaining two games of the Reds' series versus the Padres in order to take the U.S. naturalization test, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.
After signing with the Tigers in 2008 as an international free agent out of Venezuela and kicking off a 13-year MLB career in 2014, Suarez is now looking to make the United States his permanent home. He'll complete an interview and take a written English language exam and an oral civics test over the next two days as he looks to obtain citizenship. Following the Reds' off day Thursday, Suarez will likely make his return to the lineup in Friday's series opener versus the Brewers.
