The Blue Jays optioned Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Just one day after joining the major-league roster, Schneider will be sent back to Triple-A to make room for Vladimir Guerrero (concussion), who returned from the injured list in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Schneider has slashed just .142/.295/.274 across 140 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he boasts an .894 OPS at Buffalo.

The Blue Jays reinstated Guerrero (concussion) from the injured list Saturday.

Guerrero cleared concussion protocol Thursday, and after going 1-for-1 with a pair of walks, an RBI and a run scored during a tune-up game at Single-A, he'll return to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Yankees. Davis Schneider was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that he expects Frelick (shoulder) to return from the injured list during Milwaukee's upcoming series against the Mets, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Murphy said Friday that Frelick would be activated from the injured list in the near future, and although he still doesn't have a firm return date, it's been narrowed down to sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. The 26-year-old outfielder has spent the past couple of weeks on a rehab assignment at Triple-A, going 9-for-32 with two homers, five RBI, seven runs scored and a steal across nine contests.

The Dodgers recalled Thomas from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

With Andy Pages set to miss 4-to-5 weeks with a fractured hand, the Dodgers will turn to Thomas to bolster their outfield depth. Since joining the organization in May, the 26-year-old has slashed .296/.362/.493 with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 33 runs and four steals across 249 plate appearances at Triple-A. He'll likely be in the mix with Alex Call and Tommy Edman to start in center field.

The Marlins recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

De Los Santos has spent the vast majority of the season at Jacksonville, where he owns a .283/.347/.496 slash line with 19 homers, 66 RBI, 49 runs and 18 steals through 401 plate appearances. He'll now rejoin the parent club to give the Marlins extra flexibility at first base while Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is on the injured list. Logan Driscoll was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Pasquantino crushed a center-cut cutter from Troy Melton, blasting it 420 feet over the right-field wall for a solo homer in the sixth inning. The first baseman has been hot since returning from right wrist soreness Monday, going 9-for-19 (.474) with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and five runs across five games. Overall, Pasquantino is slashing .247/.331/.381 with eight homers, 37 RBI, 39 runs and four stolen bases in 84 contests.

Woodruff did not undergo surgery on his right shoulder and is scheduled to begin a throwing program Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff said in July that he would undergo season-ending capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder, but he first wanted to exhaust all his options before going under the knife. Imaging on his shoulder taken four weeks after he suffered his injury revealed unexpected healing, eliminating the need for the 33-year-old to undergo surgery. The Brewers will put him through a five-week throwing program before re-evaluating him, per Hogg, which will keep Woodruff out through the end of the regular season but could enable him to pitch in the postseason if things go well.

Isbel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Isbel connected on a solo homer in the fifth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth frame. Since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the injured list due to a Grade 3 tear of his left plantar fascia, the center fielder is slashing .200/.229/.356 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs across 15 contests. Overall, Isbel is hitting .234/.283/.354 with five homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs and five stolen bases in 71 games.

Bellinger (hamstring) will return from the injured list Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone suggested earlier in the week that Bellinger could return to the Yankees' lineup by the end of the weekend, and the 31-year-old outfielder confirmed Saturday that he will do so. Bellinger went 1-for-6 with a strikeout in the two rehab games he played at Triple-A but had been on fire at the plate before getting injured, slashing .372/.438/.465 across his last dozen games. He figures to immediately reclaim his role as New York's primary left fielder.
