The Orioles acquired Franklin from the Nationals on Monday in exchange for right-hander Joe Glassey, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Franklin is on the 40-man roster and has been a league-average performer (101 wRC+) in 93 games at Triple-A as a 26-year-old. He has plus speed and good defensive chops and will hope to eventually carve out time as a reserve outfielder. Franklin was traded from the Cubs to the Nationals at last year's deadline.

The Red Sox acquired Gutierrez and left-hander Erik Miller to the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm).

A 21-year-old outfielder, Gutierrez is slashing .271/.385/.441 with nine home runs, 26 steals and a 19.6 percent strikeout rate in 83 games at High-A. Despite his high stolen-base total, Gutierrez likely projects as a left fielder at the big-league level, so he needs to continue producing to have a shot as an everyday player.

Crews is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Crews will get a breather for the series opener in Philadelphia after he went 3-for-16 with a stolen base, a run and an RBI while starting in Washington's last four games. The Nationals will go with an outfield of Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood from left to right Monday.

The Nationals traded Mitchell, Josh Hartle, Will Dion and Kendeglys Virguez to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for Foster Griffin, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell, a 22-year-old outfielder, is slashing .240/.358/.360 with five home runs, 19 steals, a 14.6 percent walk rate and a 16.4 percent strikeout rate in 75 games at Double-A.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

After starting in each of the last seven games and going 8-for-24 with one stolen base, five RBI and four runs, the left-handed-hitting Crawford will retreat to the bench while the Nationals send southpaw Andrew Alvarez to the bump. Derek Hill will spell Crawford in center field and will bat eighth.

The Diamondbacks acquired Nootbaar from the Cardinals on Monday in exchange for right-hander Daniel Eagen, left-hander Sandro Santana and a player to be named later.

An eighth-round draft pick by St. Louis in 2018, Nootbaar will move on after nine years as a member of the organization. After getting off to a delayed to the 2026 season while recovering from offseason surgery on his heels, the 28-year-old outfielder returned from the injured list June 5 and slashed .234/.333/.354 with three home runs, one stolen base, 22 runs and 16 RBI in 183 plate appearances. Nootbaar should settle into a regular role in the corner outfield for an Arizona squad that currently has three other outfielders in Lourdes Gurriel (adductor), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) and Tommy Troy (shoulder) on the injured list.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The left-handed-hitting Marsh had been seeing fairly steady opportunities against left-handed pitching earlier this season, but he's moved into more of a strong-side platoon role since the All-Star break. With southpaw Andrew Alvarez on the bump for Washington, Edmundo Sosa will get the nod in left field over Marsh, who is slashing .231/.270/.370 (72 wRC+) over 115 plate appearances versus lefties.

Boston acquired White from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Uberstine, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

White has largely served as a short-side platoon player in the Atlanta outfield this season, slashing .233/.285/.406 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 144 plate appearances. He'll likely fill a similar role in Boston, where he could replace the left-handed-hitting Jarren Duran in left field when the Red Sox face left-handed pitchers. White is under team control through the 2028 season.

The Yankees acquired Ramos from the Giants on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees were seeking a right-handed-hitting bat and have landed one in Ramos, who has slashed .292/.343/.492 against left-handed pitching this season. The downside with Ramos is that he's hit only .256/.292/.404 in 2026 versus righties, and he's regarded as a poor defensive outfielder. Ramos will be under team control through 2029.

The Cubs acquired Taylor and right-hander Clay Holmes (fibula) from the Mets on Monday in exchange for infielder Jefferson Rojas, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Taylor -- who will reach free agency after the season -- will likely see most of his playing time for Cubs against left-handed pitching. The right-handed-hitting outfielder boasts a .900 OPS versus southpaws this season.
