MLB Player News

Fitzgerald could be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's contest in Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Fitzgerald has a locker at Chase Field and appears set to take the roster spot of the injured Casey Schmitt (wrist). The 27-year-old has slashed just .230/.289/.320 for the Giants this season and has gone 4-for-13 at the plate since being demoted to Sacramento. Fitzgerald could see reps at second base for the Giants upon his recall.

The Brewers are expected to call up Seigler from Triple-A Nashville, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reported Sunday.

Seigler inked a minor league contract with the Brewers in November after spending seven seasons in the Yankees organization. The 26-year-old has slashed .277/.416/.465 with seven home runs and 20 stolen bases over 267 plate appearances with Nashville this season. He's split time between second base, third base and catcher this season. It'll be his MLB debut if he gets into a game.

The Rockies are expected to recall Fernandez from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Fernandez, 22, has slashed .284/.347/.502 with 13 home runs in 271 plate appearances with Albuquerque this season, and he'll now be rewarded with his first call-up to the big leagues. He's served exclusively as a right fielder and designated hitter in the minors this season, and he could find it difficult to earn steady playing time at either of those spots with both Mickey Moniak and Tyler Freeman thriving of late. Fernandez bats from the left side, so he won't profile as a potential platoon mate for the left-handed-hitting Moniak, who often sits against left-handed pitching.

Schmitt is expected to require a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his left wrist, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

An MRI on Schmitt's wrist came back negative, but he's still dealing with a painful bone bruise and could use additional down time. Tyler Fitzgerald has a locker at Chase Field and it sounds like he could be added to the roster in Schmitt's place prior to Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Naylor (neck) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Naylor will miss a third straight start after exiting Friday's game versus the Marlins with neck stiffness. He is considered day-to-day. Pavin Smith will serve as the Diamondbacks' first baseman and Lourdes Gurriel will be the designated hitter in Monday's series opener.

Darvish (elbow) will throw another simulated game Tuesday, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan reports.

Darvish threw 51 pitches in a simulated game last Wednesday and should increase that pitch count during Tuesday's session. The veteran right-hander could be ready for a rehab start after that, though the Padres haven't tipped their hand regarding Darvish's next step. Darvish has been sidelined all season with right elbow inflammation, but he's pushing to return from the 60-day injured list before the All-Star break.

Greene (groin/back) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Greene will throw again this weekend, and if all goes well, he should begin a rehab assignment sometime next week. The right-hander has been sidelined for the bulk of June due to a groin strain and back soreness. If Greene progresses as hoped, he could be ready to rejoin the Cincinnati rotation around mid-July.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

With starts in five of the previous six games, Iglesias has gained some stability in the San Diego lineup of late, but he's still not quite locked in as an everyday player. After posting a surprising .829 OPS with the Mets in 2024 -- his highest mark in any season of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign -- Iglesias has taken a big step back at the plate with San Diego this season, slashing just .226/.294/.258 with no home runs over 179 plate appearances. He'll need to improve his production to boost his case for earning steady playing time over the balance of the season.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Triolo was included in the lineup in three of the Pirates' previous four games, but the bulk of his starts are still expected to come against left-handed pitching when Pittsburgh has all of its core infielders available. Most of the 27-year-old's value to the Pirates derives from his ability to play all four infield spots, as he's been an easy out at the plate with a .167/.260/.280 slash line over 152 plate appearances on the season.

The Reds recalled La Sorsa from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Ian Gibaut (shoulder), who has landed on the 15-day injured list. La Sorsa has made two appearances for the Reds this season, getting dinged for four runs.
