Brusdar Graterol RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Returns from injured list
Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Graterol joined the club earlier in the day after finishing up a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll be available out of the bullpen Monday evening following this latest move. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in a big-league game this season but was excellent a year ago for LA, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 48:10 K:BB and seven saves in eight chances over 67.1 frames.

Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Placed on IL
Treinen was moved to the 15-day injured list Monday due to left hip discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
It's unknown as to when this injury first surfaced for Treinen, but it's significant enough to shut him down for at least the next 15 days. Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Michael Kennedy SP | CLE
Pirates' Michael Kennedy: Comes off IL
Single-A Bradenton reinstated Kennedy (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Kennedy had been on the shelf since June 16 before he made his return to action Friday against Palm Beach. He started and covered three innings, striking out four batters while giving up one earned run on two hits and zero walks. The 19-year-old lefty owns a 4.61 ERA and 64:11 K:BB across 56.2 innings for Bradenton this season.

Luisangel Acuna SS | CHW
Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Makes cameo off bench Saturday
Acuna (foot) came off the bench and went 0-for-1 while playing four innings at shortstop Saturday in Triple-A Syracuse's 7-1 loss to Columbus.
Acuna was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game versus Columbus due to a foot injury, and while he has yet to return to the starting nine, his ability to enter the game off the bench Saturday suggests he'll avoid a trip to the 7-day injured list. The 22-year-old infielder is hitting .262/.311/.357 with five home runs and 31 stolen bases over 98 games with Syracuse this season.

Alexander Canario LF | PIT
Cubs' Alexander Canario: Out with hamstring strain
Triple-A Iowa placed Canario on its 7-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Iowa deactivated Canario just over a week after he was carted off the field with the injury July 24 against Indianapolis. The 24-year-old outfielder is without a clear timeline to return to action. Canario retains a spot on the Cubs' 40-man roster but had been with Iowa since July 19 following a brief stint with the big club. He maintains a .243/.336/.514 slash line over 283 plate appearances at the Triple-A level for the season.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Tosses successful side session
Suarez (back) threw a bullpen session Monday without issue, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Suarez completed his expected throwing session Monday and will likely be checked on Tuesday by the club's training staff to determine if he can advance to the next step in his rehab. The southpaw will need to progress to facing live hitters before getting the green light to return from the 15-day injured list.

Freddie Freeman 1B | LAD
Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Returning to action vs. Philly
Freeman (personal) has been activated from the family medical emergency list ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies.
Freeman has been away from the club since July 27 to be with his family after his three-year-old son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. It was reported earlier in the day that he was back with the team at Dodger Stadium leading up to Monday's matchup, and the organization has since made his return official. Freeman will man first base and hit third in Monday's series opener.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Suffers groin strain
Moreno was diagnosed with a left groin strain after exiting Monday's game against Cleveland.
Moreno will likely require a trip to the 10-day injured list following this diagnosis, though it's still too early to determine exactly how much time he'll miss. Jose Herrera is the only other catcher on the 40-man roster, so it looks like the D-Backs will promote either Adrian Del Castillo or Ronaldo Hernandez from Triple-A Reno to serve as the backup catcher until Moreno returns to full strength.

Cavan Biggio RF | HOU
Dodgers' Cavan Biggio: Designated for assignment
Biggio was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Biggio appears to be the odd man out on the Dodgers' 40-man roster with Freddie Freeman (personal) being activated from the restricted list Monday. Biggio will now be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll either report to Triple-A Oklahoma City or elect free agency, the latter of which seems more likely. Over 30 games with the Dodgers this season, Biggio has produced a .192 average with three home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Limps off field
Moreno was removed from Monday's game against the Guardians after suffering a leg injury, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
Moreno went down in the top of the second inning after beating out an infield single and was immediately removed from the matchup. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine the extent of the injury. Jose Herrera would be next in line for chances at catcher if Moreno is forced to miss additional time.
