Scull (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-16 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI in five games for Double-A Rocket City since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 31.

Scull was on the shelf for about three and a half weeks due to the unspecified injury. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .246/.295/.333 with one home run and one steal in 17 games at the Double-A level since being promoted from High-A Tri-City on June 9.

Fairchild has gone 2-for-8 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in two games for Triple-A Tacoma since re-signing with Seattle on a minor-league contract Saturday.

After being dropped from the Mariners' 40-man roster Tuesday, Fairchild cleared waivers a few days later and elected to become a free agent Friday. He ended up working out a new deal with the Mariners a day later and will continue to provide the organization with outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

Siri went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's loss to Miami.

Siri logged two of the Angels' three extra-base hits, belting a solo homer to center field in the second inning and adding a double in the fourth. The veteran outfielder has played well when given the chance, as through eight games in August he's batting .353 (6-for-17) with a pair of homers and two doubles, albeit with a 50.0 percent strikeout rate. Siri is beginning to see more opportunities, starting four of the Angels' past six contests, including two matchups against right-handed starters.

Robert went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

The veteran outfielder socked a two-run homer off Jared Jones in the third inning, sandwiched between a first-inning sacrifice fly and a seventh-inning RBI single. Robert snapped an 11-game power drought with the performance, but he's had a quick start to August, going 7-for-23 (.304) in six contests. Over the course of an injury-plagued season, he's managed a .213/.291/.340 slash line with five homers, two steals, 16 RBI and 17 runs in 158 plate appearances.

The Reds optioned Johnson to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Johnson received only eight plate appearances over nearly two weeks during his most recent stint in the majors. The Reds will announce a corresponding roster move ahead of Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Compton has produced a .348/.432/.791 slash line with 15 home runs in 32 games for Double-A Pensacola.

Promoted from High-A Beloit in late June, Compton has been destroying Southern League pitching ever since, and per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com his 12 homers in July set a new franchise record for Pensacola in addition to earning him Hitter of the Month honors in the Marlins' system. The 46th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Compton has split his time between the outfield corners and DH this season as he tries to find a defensive home, but it's his bat that will carry him to the majors -- during that blistering July, he ranked in the 100th percentile in hard-hit rate at Double-A with a 64.4 percent mark.

Bateman went 2-for-6 with an RBI in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies.

The Blue Jays deployed right-handed hitters Myles Straw and Davis Schneider in the outfield corners, but the lefty-swinging Bateman stayed in center field and manned the leadoff spot against southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Bateman even got a hit off Luzardo, a single in the fifth inning that produced his first RBI in the majors. The 24-year-old has started three straight games in center field since his promotion, going 3-for-14 with a double, two walks and two runs scored, and Bateman's combination of defense, speed, plate discipline and solid contact skills have quickly moved him to the top of the depth chart with Daulton Varsho now in Houston.

White started in right field and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

White made a second consecutive start in right field, as Wilyer Abreu operated as the designated hitter Sunday following a day off Saturday due to lower-leg soreness. White was acquired from Atlanta at the trade deadline and will fill in where needed in the outfield. Since joining Boston, he's appeared in six games (two starts) and gone 3-for-11 with a walk, an RBI and three runs.

Abreu started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

Abreu, who was held out of Saturday's lineup with lower-leg soreness, was back in action Sunday but did not play the field. His fifth-inning sacrifice fly gave Boston a 3-2 lead before the A's came back late. It was the sixth consecutive game with an RBI for Abreu, who was delivered 10 runs during that stretch. The two-time Gold Glove winning outfielder was replaced in the right field by Eli White the last two games.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Orioles.

The Rangers were chasing early, down 5-0 after two innings, when Nimmo narrowed the deficit to two with a homer off Cade Povich. It was the 13th homer of the season and third this month for Nimmo, who is enjoying a productive beginning of August. The outfielder is 12-for-29 (.414) with three home runs, seven RBI, one steal and five runs scored over eight August games.
