Duno hit .338 with seven home runs, 24 walks and 11 strikeouts in 25 August games for Single-A Daytona.

One of the most feared hitters in the Florida State League, the 19-year-old Duno is in complete control at the plate of late, as he walked more than twice as often (23.1 BB%) as he struck out (10.6 K%) last month. On the season, the hulking catcher is slashing .281/.426/.496 with 15 home runs, a 19.1 percent walk rate and an 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 109 games. He is two or three years away from the big leagues, but Duno has the upside to be a top-five fantasy catcher in his prime.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

Devers launched a solo shot off right-hander Chase Dollander in the first inning and drew a walk in the fifth before coming around to score. The 28-year-old has been on fire recently, going 12-for-23 with 11 runs scored, 10 RBI, four home runs and two doubles in 28 plate appearances over his last six outings. He's up to 29 long balls this season, slashing .264/.383/.490 with 94 RBI, 83 runs scored and a stolen base across 622 plate appearances in 139 games between San Francisco and Boston.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Harrington on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified injury.

Indianapolis had previously shelved Harrington on Aug. 10 due to an unspecified injury, and though he was activated Thursday, he made it through just one inning during his start against Buffalo before landing back on the IL a day later. The Pirates haven't shed light on the nature of Harrington's latest setback, but given the timing of the injury, the right-hander could be hard-pressed to pitch again in 2025.

Atlanta activated Kim (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Kim was scooped up from the Rays via waivers Monday and now joins the active roster with his new club. The 29-year-old has been limited to only 24 games this season due to injury and has slashed an uninspiring .214/.290/.321 when on the field. However, Kim should operate as Atlanta's everyday shortstop down the stretch, and with a $16 million player option for 2026, he could be the team's regular at the position next season, as well.

Torrens went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.

It's the second three-hit performance for Torrens in his last five starts as he takes advantage of the latest IL stint for Francisco Alvarez (thumb/finger). Over nine games since Alvarez went down in mid-August, Torrens is batting .310 (9-for-26) with three doubles, two homers, six runs and 10 RBI. Alvarez is pushing to return quickly but isn't going to be 100 percent healthy until the offseason, so Torrens figures to retain a significant workload behind the plate through September.

Atlanta designated Suero for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Hayden Harris. Suero has been knocked around for eight runs over 6.1 innings during his time with Atlanta this season.

Atlanta optioned Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Stratton was scored upon in each of his last two relief appearances and has earned a trip back to the minors. Hayden Harris is absorbing Stratton's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Atlanta selected Harris' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Harris has had a dominant season in the minors between Double-A Columbus and Gwinnett, allowing just three runs with a 73:16 K:BB over 48 innings. The 26-year-old will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Atlanta placed Profar on the paternity list Tuesday.

Profar will likely miss the final two games of the series against the Cubs before rejoining Atlanta for the start of a homestand Friday. Jake Fraley and Eli White will likely pick up the slack in left field while Profar is away.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

The second baseman has produced multi-hit performances in five of the last seven games, a stretch in which Albies is batting .393 (11-for-28) with three doubles, three homers and 11 RBI. He's had a down season overall due to lingering wrist issues, but a strong finish to 2025 should be enough to convince Atlanta that the 28-year-old still has a place in the team's future plans.
