MLB Player News

Gilbert was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

It's unknown why Gilbert was taken out of the lineup, but the Giants should offer an explanation in the near future. In the meantime, Jonah Cox will start in center field and bat fourth.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Gurriel (thigh) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

As expected, Gurriel is back Tuesday after being out since July 18 due to a strained right abductor. He started a rehab stint with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 18 and played in eight games. The 32-year-old logged just three his in 28 at-bats along with three RBI and three walks. He's set to begin Tuesday's game against the Phillies on the bench, per Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv, and Gurriel may be competing for playing time in the future following the Diamondbacks' acquisition of Lars Nootbaar on Aug. 3.

Montgomery isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Montgomery will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-5 during Monday's loss. Randal Grichuk will replace him in right field and bat sixth.

The Astros recalled Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers will join the Astros for the stretch run after spending the past few weeks with Sugar Land. After posting a .727 OPS in 104 regular-season games in 2025, the 30-year-old started Opening Day for the Astros this season but has scuffled to a .213/.268/.326 slash line in 54 MLB contests.

The Tigers activated Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in left field and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Twins.

The 25-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring string Aug. 12 but is now back with the Tigers for the final month of the season. Greene went 1-for-6 with two walks in two rehab games and will look to shake off the slow start to August that saw him bat .214 (6-for-28) with two extra-base hits and 12 strikeouts.

The Blue Jays designated Cameron for assignment Tuesday.

Cameron's stint in the majors lasted a couple weeks, as he went 5-for-24 with one home run and a 0:7 BB:K. He is likely to clear waivers, and if that happens the 29-year-old would have the ability to elect free agency.

The Orioles placed Franklin on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 31, due to left hand inflammation.

It's unclear when or how Franklin sustained the injury, though he last appeared in Sunday's game against the A's and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. He'll be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 11 in Toronto, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

The Dodgers optioned Thomas to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Thomas has been starting regularly in center field against right-handed pitching since getting called up by the Dodgers on Aug. 22, but he won't stay in the majors after going 4-for-19 with a double and three RBI in his first seven games for Los Angeles. Enrique Hernandez and Tommy Edman figure to split time in center field going forward for the Dodgers.

The Athletics activated Clarke (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Clarke has been out of commission since late April, first due to a bone bruise in his foot and later because of a severe hamstring strain. The outfielder has hit only .214/.262/.323 with a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in his first 219 big-league plate appearances. However, Clarke's elite defense could mean regular reps in center field down the stretch, with Henry Bolte shifting to left field.

The Royals selected Waters' contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Waters has spent all of this season at Triple-A Omaha after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster in late March, but he's back in the big leagues after posting a .731 OPS with 12 homers and 17 steals for Omaha. The 27-year-old will likely be utilized as an extra outfielder in Kansas City.
