De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

De La Cruz did all he could for the Reds in the 2-1 loss, logging three of the team's six hits and recording four thefts in a game for the second time this season. The 22-year-old is up to a league-leading 55 steals, a whopping 24 ahead of runner-up Brice Turang. De La Cruz now owns a .263 average with 18 home runs, 45 RBI, 70 runs scored and 55 stolen bases in 64 attempts (86 percent) across 104 games played.

Lopez was removed from Sunday's start against the Mets as a precaution due to right forearm tightness.

Lopez threw 57 pitches and struck out two batters over three scoreless innings before being lifted from Sunday's contest due to the injury. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day for now, and his availability for the next turn through the rotation is up in the air, as he's scheduled to undergo an MRI, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The Cubs acquired Paredes from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for third baseman Christopher Morel and right-handers Hunter Bigge and Ty Johnson, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Tampa Bay continues to move key parts ahead of Tuesday's deadline, with Paredes joining Randy Arozarena, Zach Eflin, Jason Adam and Aaron Civale as major departures via trade. The Cubs were thought to be deadline buyers, but Paredes isn't a rental player, as he comes with three years of team control after 2024. He has a 245/.357/.435 slash line with 16 home runs and 55 RBI through 101 games this season and should take over the starting job at third base in Chicago.

Greene threw seven scoreless innings in Sunday's loss to the Rays, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five. He did not factor into the decision.

Greene stifled the Rays, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning before a Brandon Lowe single ended the bid. The 24-year-old Greene has now fired seven scoreless innings in back-to-back starts, allowing just two hits in each of those outings. The hard-throwing righty also notched his fourth consecutive quality start Sunday, pitching to a 0.33 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB in 27 innings during that stretch. Greene will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend versus the Giants.

The Marlins will place Bell on waivers Sunday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Bell remains in the lineup at first base for Sunday's contest against the Brewers, so he'll be available to play even while he's on waivers. The Marlins may simply be gauging interest in the veteran slugger, who has posted a .239/.303/.396 slash line with 14 home runs in 103 games this season. Bell has shown signs of life at the plate recently and has hit home runs in four consecutive games and has multiple hits in five straight contests. A $16.5 million salary for this season remains a major hurdle to the 31-year-old being moved, either via trade or waivers.

Ramos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies due to a right thumb injury, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's not believed to be a serious injury, but the Giants will rest Ramos on Sunday to give him two straight days of rest with Monday's team off day. Derek Hill will instead start in center field and bat ninth in the series finale versus Colorado.

The Giants placed Hjelle (personal) on the bereavement list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Hjelle pitched a scoreless frame Saturday against the Rockies and will now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family. Randy Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

The Mets transferred Senga (calf) to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 31-year-old was ruled out for the regular season after being diagnosed with a high-grade calf strain Saturday, so the move to the 60-day IL isn't a surprise. A postseason return for Senga has yet to be ruled out, but he'll likely need to avoid any setbacks during his rehab program for that to remain a possibility.

Tyler is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Tyler will be making his second straight turn through the rotation after he struck out five batters and gave up three runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles last Tuesday following his promotion from Triple-A Jacksonville. Over five outings (four starts) with Miami on the season, Tyler owns a 3.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

Lipscomb is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at St. Louis.

Lipscomb started the first two games of the series but will sit for Sunday's finale while in the midst of a 3-for-25 slump. Ildemaro Vargas will man the hot corner and bat seventh for Washington.
