The Reds recalled Roa from Triple-A Louisville and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder sprain.

Roa hadn't pitched at Triple-A since Aug. 2 and landed on Louisville's 7-day IL before the Reds called him up and placed him on the 60-day IL for the purpose of opening up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, the 25-year-old's season officially comes to an end. He turned in a 5.55 ERA and 47:30 K:BB over 48.2 innings covering four starts and 19 relief appearances this season with Louisville.

The Reds selected Aguiar's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Aguiar will make his major-league debut Monday in Toronto, taking the rotation spot of the injured Hunter Greene (elbow). The 23-year-old has split his 2024 season between Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga, collecting a 3.79 ERA and 95:29 K:BB over 116.1 frames between the two stops. Aguiar should have an opportunity to make at least one additional start later this week, which would come in Pittsburgh.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win against St. Louis.

Ohtani slugged his NL-leading 39th homer of the campaign in the fifth inning. It was his second long ball in as many games and his seventh through 16 contests in August. Ohtani is batting only .174 this month, but nine of his 12 hits (seven homers, one double and one triple) have gone for extra bases, and he's racked up excellent counting stats with 12 RBI, 11 runs and nine stolen bases.

The Dodgers are expected to recall Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Monday's contest against the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports.

He'll replace Austin Barnes, who is headed to the 10-day injured list. Feduccia, 27, had one plate appearance with the Dodgers earlier this season and has posted an .848 OPS with six homers this year at Oklahoma City. He will serve as Will Smith's backup.

Call went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The 29-year-old outfielder has three homers in 99 big-league plate appearances this year, and two of them came in back-to-back games this weekend. Call has cooled down a bit since he reeled off six straight multi-hit performances earlier this month, going just 5-for-25 (.200) since with a 1:6 BB:K, but four of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

Barnes is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game versus the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports.

Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Barnes took a foul ball off his left big toe during Sunday's win over the Cardinals. It's uncertain whether he's dealing with a fracture or is just sore. Barnes will be eligible to come off the IL at the end of August but it's not clear if he might be ready at that time. Hunter Feduccia will be called up to serve as the Dodgers' backup catcher behind Will Smith.

Wood went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The 21-year-old rookie continues to make life miserable for opposing pitchers, with his fifth long ball of the season coming off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning. Over his last 21 games, Wood is slashing a stunning .373/.472/.640 with 11 extra-base hits (five doubles, three triples, three homers), four steals, 15 RBI and 18 runs.

Ruiz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The catcher got the Nationals on the board in the fourth inning by driving a Taijuan Walker pitch deep to right field. Ruiz is putting together a strong month of August, slashing .283/.321/.547 through 14 games with four of his 12 homers on the season, as well as eight runs and nine RBI.

The Marlins selected Oller's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Oller will start Monday's contest against the Diamondbacks after posting a 2.88 ERA and 24:7 K:BB over 25 innings covering three starts and three relief appearances with Jacksonville. Given the state of the Marlins' rotation, Oller is a candidate to make multiple starts.

The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Soriano permitted four runs over eight relief innings during his most recent stint in the majors. Adam Oller will absorb his roster spot.
