    Nationals' James Wood: Getting MRI tomorrow

    Wood hurt his left side during Monday's matchup against the Phillies and will undergo an MRI Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    On his last swing, Wood hurt his left side in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old tried to take a couple of swings, but didn't feel comfortable playing the rest of the game. Dylan Crews replaced Wood as a defensive substitution in the bottom of the eighth inning.

  • Dodgers' Chuckie Robinson: Back with big club

    The Dodgers selected Robinson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Robinson was able to join the Dodgers ahead of Monday's series opener in Chicago, providing the team with a second option at catcher behind Eliezer Alfonzo after Dalton Rushing (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers likely won't have a spot available for Robinson for long, however, as Hunter Feduccia was acquired from the Rays on Monday and could bump Robinson off the roster if he's able to arrive at Wrigley Field in time for Tuesday's contest.

  • Dodgers' Jonathan Hernandez: Moving up from Triple-A

    The Dodgers selected Hernandez's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    After being outrighted off the Dodgers' 40-man roster July 3, Hernandez will regain a spot a month later after Los Angeles had room available for him in the wake of Monday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old righty has made 12 appearances for the Dodgers this season, delivering an 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB in 17.2 innings.

  • Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Dispatched to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    After Sheehan was shelled for five earned runs in 2.2 innings during Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Red Sox, manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the right-hander's recent struggles, though he said that he didn't indicate that the Dodgers had any immediate plans to alter their rotation, per Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Dodgers ended up changing their tune a day later, as Sheehan will head to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for catcher Hunter Feduccia, who was acquired shortly before Monday's trade deadline. With Los Angeles also adding Tarik Skubal and Kris Bubic (shoulder/elbow) ahead of the deadline and with Blake Snell (elbow) and Tyler Glasnow (back) nearing returns from the injured list, Sheehan could be bound for the bullpen the next time he receives a call-up. The 26-year-old righty has turned in a 4-8 record, 5.29 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 95.1 innings in 20 starts with the Dodgers this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Out Monday, set for paternity leave

    Moreno was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres to attend the birth of his second child, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    James McCann will enter the lineup at catcher and as the Diamondbacks' No. 8 hitter in place of Moreno, who has been running hot at the plate since the All-Star break with a .286/.360/.444 batting line, two home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs in 16 games. Moreno could go on the paternity list Tuesday, which would allow him to remain away from the team for between one and three days to spend time with his growing family.

  • Gavin Sheets 1B | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Taking seat Monday

    Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Over his last 20 games, Sheets is slashing an abysmal .120/.281/.120 with no extra-base hits, and his extended slump could be starting to cost him playing time. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against righties and two coming against lefties.

  • TJ Rumfield 1B | COL

    Rockies' TJ Rumfield: Given evening off

    Rumfield is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Lefty Ian Seymour is starting for the Rays, so the Rockies decided it was an ideal time to give the left-handed-hitting Rumfield a night off. The rookie started in each of the Rockies' previous seven games, going 7-for-29 with a double, a walk, five RBI and three runs.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Working on extension

    Moniak is closing in on a two-year contract extension with the Rockies, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Moniak has completely turned his career around since signing with the Rockies before the 2025 season. Since joining Colorado last season, Moniak has slashed .273/.312/.534 with 41 home runs and 115 RBI in 739 plate appearances. The deal is likely to be finalized Tuesday.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Splitting time with Carson Kelly

    Amaya is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Carson Kelly will draw the start behind the plate Monday, but he and Amaya appear to have settled into a pattern of alternating turns at catcher. Amaya had started in five of the previous 10 games, going 5-for-17 with a double, three RBI and two runs.

  • Nick Frasso RP | COL

    Rockies' Nick Frasso: Promoted to Colorado

    Colorado recalled Frasso from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

    Frasso will make his first big-league stint with the Rockies after being traded from the Dodgers on July 20. With Antonio Senzatela and Victor Vodnik both being dealt elsewhere during Monday's trade deadline, the Rockies, in need of another bullpen arm, promoted Frasso. During his time with both Triple-A Oklahoma and Albuquerque this season, the 27-year-old recorded a 4.15 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB in 30.1 innings.
