Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Twins.

The 31-year-old outfielder crossed the plate in the first inning after a walk, took Connor Prielipp deep in the second to give the Mariners a 3-0 lead, then dashed home with the winning run in the ninth on a Cal Raleigh groundout. Arozarena has gone yard three times in the last seven games, giving him 14 homers on the year, and since the beginning of July he's batting .283 (26-for-92) with six home runs, one steal, 12 RBI and 20 runs in 25 contests.

The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Fairchild will join the active roster as a replacement for Luke Raley, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Fairchild has gone just 3-for-19 with an RBI, three runs and two steals in the majors this season, but he's slashed .262/.415/.643 across 53 plate appearances since joining Tacoma on July 10.

The Mariners placed Raley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Raley has reportedly been battling soreness in his elbow for a while and missed Friday's game because of it, so the Mariners will now place him on the shelf. The severity of his injury is unknown, but he'll likely undergo imaging within the next several days to help determine exactly what he's dealing with and when he might be able to return. In the meantime, Victor Robles is a likely candidate to take over as Seattle's primary right fielder, and Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.

Raley (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

The 31-year-old's absence Saturday could be attributed to southpaw Connor Prielipp starting on the mound for Minnesota, but Raley will get another day to recover from elbow soreness all the same. Dominic Canzone will start in right field as a result, moving Cal Raleigh into the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts at catcher.

Jones went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Cubs in a 2-0 victory Friday.

There wasn't much offense in the low-scoring affair, and Jones was the only player on the Yankees to reach base more than once. The slugging outfielder also accounted for half of the team's runs with a 418-foot solo blast in the fifth frame. Jones went 0-for-4 across his first three games after his most recent call-up July 26, but he's since turned things around by going 4-for-9 with a pair of homers, four RBI and two stolen bases over his subsequent three contests. He's started three of five games since Cody Bellinger landed on the IL due to a hamstring injury.

The Brewers traded Perkins and Craig Yoho to the Guardians on Saturday in exchange for Bo Naylor and Codi Heuer, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Perkins has taken a step back offensively this season, slashing .157/.250/.258 across 55 games in the majors, and he hasn't recorded a plate appearance since the Brewers called up top outfield prospect Luis Lara from Triple-A on July 7. Perkins will now get a shot at a fresh start with the Guardians, and although he'll report to Triple-A Columbus to begin his time with the organization, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, Perkins could eventually find work in center field as an alternative to the struggling Petey Halpin (.535 OPS).

Kwan went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Kwan's third-inning single extended an on-base streak to 18 games, during which he's slashed .403/.479/.484 with 10 walks, four steals, five doubles, five RBI and eight runs scored. Despite most of that production coming while batting leadoff, Guardians manager Stephen Vogt had Kwan batting ninth Friday while Angel Martinez operated atop the order.

Clark went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

Clark batted seventh in his MLB debut and wasted no time making a strong first impression. All three hits were to the opposite field, but he wasn't getting away with weak contact -- his second two-bagger of the night left his bat at 99.2 mph. The talented 21-year-old, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, was starting to heat up at Triple-A Toledo before earning the promotion. Now that he's in the majors, Clark should slot in as Detroit's everyday center fielder, which gives him immediate appeal across all fantasy formats considering his significant upside.

Malgeri went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.

Malgeri waited until the ninth inning to hit his first career home run, going deep with a runner on and no outs. The 26-year-old has served as outfield depth since making his MLB debut back on June 23, though he's performed well when given an opportunity, slashing .282/.383/.410 in 39 at-bats across 20 games. If the 52-58 Tigers fade further from contention down the stretch, Malgeri could get a longer look to make his case for an expanded role next season.

Rafaela went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Dodgers.

Rafaela's seventh-inning blast put the Red Sox ahead for good. The outfielder had a stellar July, hitting .303 with five homers, five steals and 19 RBI over 25 games during the month. Overall, he's batting .286 with a .782 OPS, 12 homers, 15 steals, 54 RBI, 52 runs scored, 27 doubles and three triples over 105 contests, taking a step forward in terms of consistency.
