Ryan (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

It's already been determined that Ryan will miss the remainder of this season and likely most if not all of 2025 while on the mend from Tommy John surgery, so this move is simply to open up a spot on the 40-man roster following the return of Max Muncy (oblique) from the 60-day IL.

Ahmed was designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Ahmed has seen his playing time dwindle over the last few weeks, totaling only 24 at-bats so far in August. Following the return of Tommy Edman (wrist) and Max Muncy (oblique) from the injured list Monday, the club has elected to send the veteran shortstop to the waiver wire.

Edman (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Edman is now officially geared up for his season and team debut. The 29-year-old has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2024 campaign while working his way back from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. Edman was traded to the Dodgers on July 29 and he has produced a .294 average with a home run, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 17 at-bats in six games with Triple-A Oklahoma while on a rehab assignment. Andy Pages was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move Monday, freeing up a spot for Edman in the outfield, where he's expected to see the majority of his playing time.

Barnes (toe) is expected to miss the minimum 10 days while on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Barnes is dealing with an injured big toe on his left foot, but he'll be able to avoid a prolonged stint on the IL. The catcher will be replaced by Hunter Feduccia as the primary backup option behind Will Smith behind the plate.

Muncy (oblique) has been activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

It was rumored over the weekend that Muncy might be available to return in time for Monday's series opener, and he's since been given the green light to take the field. The 33-year-old landed on the 60-day IL on May 17 due to a right oblique strain but should resume an everyday role in the infield going forward.

Freeman (finger) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Freeman was expected to miss Monday's matchup and potentially a few more days after suffering an injury Saturday and missing Sunday's game. Despite being diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right middle finger, he's been penciled into the starting lineup for the series opener. Skipper Dave Roberts noted in his pregame remarks that Freeman remaining in the starting nine going forward will be all about pain tolerance, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Pages was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Pages will head back to Oklahoma City after spending four months with the major-league roster, batting .246 with nine home runs, 36 RBI, 54 runs scored and a stolen base over 358 at-bats in 98 games with the Dodgers. The 23-year-old appears to be the odd man out with Los Angeles getting healthy down the stretch, though he is expected to be called up when rosters expand in a couple weeks.

Padres manager Mike Shildt said Monday that an MRI on Kim's right shoulder came back somewhat favorable, but the results are still being evaluated and it's possible he could undergo additional imaging, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim was removed from Sunday's game versus the Rockies after jamming his right shoulder while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt. He's not playing Monday against the Twins and the Padres are still weighing a potential stint on the injured list. Tyler Wade is handling shortstop Monday and could be in line for regular reps there if Kim needs to miss additional time.

The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

San Francisco reinstated Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wisely has been with the big club since May, but he saw his playing time diminish since the All-Star break while slashed .167/.207/.204 with six RBI across 56 plate appearances in the second half. Wisely should take back an everyday role as he returns to Sacramento.

The Giants activated Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Estrada missed the last three-plus weeks with a left wrist sprain but is ready to go after a five-game rehab stint which saw him go 9-for-21 with one home run. He's starting at second base and batting eighth Monday versus the White Sox in his return to action. Brett Wisely was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
