The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 22, due to a left thumb fracture.

It was reported earlier Tuesday that Winn would be placed on the injured list, but the full extent of the injury wasn't previously disclosed. Despite the diagnosis, the Cardinals don't expect the 24-year-old shortstop to miss an extended period of time, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Nolan Gorman was called up to fill the open roster spot for St. Louis.

Chaparro is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rockies.

Chaparro has now been out of the lineup for two straight games and three of the past four tilts. CJ Abrams is getting another day at designated hitter for the Nationals.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox

Stowers went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and two strikeouts Monday in his first game back from a hamstring injury, and it appears the Marlins are easing him back into action with a day off Tuesday. Leo Jimenez is filling in at first base and batting sixth versus Boston lefty Payton Tolle.

Ruiz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Rockies.

Ruiz will get a break after starting at catcher each of the past two days. Harry Ford will be behind the plate and will bat seventh for the Nationals on Tuesday.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

It's the second straight game out of the lineup for Alvarez, who has split his time between catcher (10 starts) and designated hitter (five starts) this month. Luis Torrens will be behind the plate, and Eric Wagaman will slot in at DH for the Mets on Tuesday.

The Reds sent Ashcraft (elbow) to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Ashcraft is finally ready to test things out in games after being sidelined since late May with a sprained UCL in his right elbow. Given the length of his layoff, the reliever will likely need a handful of rehab outings before being reinstated.

Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Hernandez is in the midst of an 18-game homerless stretch and is slashing .172/.200/.241 over that span. Alex Call will get the start in left field for the Dodgers while Hernandez regroups.

The Athletics transferred Wilson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The 24-year-old was already ruled out for the season after being placed on the 10-day IL last week due to lingering soreness stemming from a separated shoulder, so this is just a procedural move to free up a roster spot for waiver-claim Chris Roycroft. Wilson finished the season with an underwhelming .266/.298/.388 slash line, seven homers, four steals, 37 RBI and 37 runs in 80 games.

The Athletics claimed Roycroft off waivers from the Rays on Tuesday.

Roycroft has been bludgeoned for 23 runs with an 18:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings across 18 relief appearances between the Cardinals and Rays this season. The big righty has minor-league options remaining and appears headed to Triple-A Las Vegas for the time being.

The Marlins recalled Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

In six appearances out of the Marlins' bullpen this season, Fulton has permitted seven runs with a 12:10 K:BB over 14 frames. The big left-hander will provide Miami's relief corps with some length.
