The Dodgers selected Freeland's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

One of the team's top prospects, Freeland earned a promotion after slashing .253/.377/.421 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases at Oklahoma City. The switch hitter should see some action in the infield with Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list and with Tommy Edman (ankle) banged up. Freeland's stint in the majors could be short, however, as Max Muncy (knee) is due back from the injured list soon.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Gurriel has gone 4-for-12 over the past three games but is without an extra-base hit since July 9 and has a .658 OPS through 20 games this month. Jake McCarthy will instead start in left field and bat sixth versus Detroit righty Casey Mize.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll provide a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for five innings in Monday's win over the Cubs. McGee has allowed two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over seven innings during his time in the majors this season.

The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Yoho was in the majors for just one day and walked two over two-thirds of a scoreless inning in his lone appearance. Easton McGee is taking Yoho's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Hinds will provide some outfield depth while TJ Friedl is on the paternity list. He is likely to be sent back down once Friedl returns later this week.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Stephenson started at catcher in Monday's series opener but will take a seat in the second contest of the three-game set. Jose Trevino will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Reds.

The Reds placed Friedl on the paternity list Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

By rule, Friedl will be away for the next 1-to-3 days while welcoming a new addition to the family. The Reds will roll out Will Benson in center field Tuesday against the Dodgers and have elevated Gavin Lux to the leadoff spot.

Suarez (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

The third baseman had X-rays on his right index finger come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Monday's contest, but it's not a surprise he's sitting Tuesday since manager Torey Lovullo said additional testing was scheduled. Suarez is arguably the top player available ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, so there's league-wide interest in his injury diagnosis. Blaze Alexander is manning the hot corner Tuesday for Arizona.

Estrada is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cleveland.

Estrada started each of the past four games upon his return from the 10-day injured list, but he will get a breather Tuesday. Kyle Farmer is at second base and batting seventh for the Rockies.

The Marlins are expected to call up Johnston from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Johnston would take the 26-man and 40-man roster spots vacated by Nick Fortes, who has been traded to the Rays. The 28-year-old Johnston has slashed .252/.333/.439 with 12 homers and 31 steals at Jacksonville this season and is capable of playing first base in addition to both corner-outfield spots. Johnston will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.
