Pirates designate Cam Sanders for assignment

Maxwell fortifies Cincinnati’s relief depth heading into the second game of Monday’s twin bill against the Cardinals. The 25-year-old allowed 11 runs over 10 innings for the Reds earlier this season.

Emanuel has been jettisoned from Cincinnati’s 40-man roster in a procedural move after allowing two runs over five innings during a spot start against the Cardinals in the opening game of Monday’s doubleheader. The 34-year-old lefty figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.

Wetherholt is back at shortstop and leading off after sitting out the front-end of Monday’s twin bill at Great American Ball Park. The 23-year-old rookie sensation has struggled since last month’s All-Star break, hitting just .185 (20-for-108) with three homers and four steals in 29 games during that span. His return pushes electrifying top prospect Joshua Báez back to the fifth spot in the order for the nightcap affair.

Shook gets another shot in the big leagues after making four underwhelming relief appearances for the Rockies earlier this season. The 28-year-old righty has recorded 11 saves along with an encouraging 3.02 ERA across 47 2/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this year. He figures to operate in middle relief out of Colorado’s bullpen.

The Rockies are pulling the plug on the Lorenzen experience with six weeks left in the season after he was torched for six runs over 3 2/3 innings by the division-rival Giants last week. The well-traveled 34-year-old struggled to a bloated 7.08 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 82/49 K/BB ratio across 115 2/3 innings in his Colorado debut.

No word yet on the reason for the move. Jones has been replaced by Mickey Gasper at DH with Nick Sogard moving up to the leadoff spot to face Arizona lefty Mitch Bratt.

Fantasy manager can safely exhale with Goodman returning to Colorado’s lineup following a three-game absence due to shoulder inflammation. The 26-year-old slugging backstop has seemingly managed to avoid a trip to the injured list and will get a chance to face Dodgers lefty Blake Snell at Coors Field on Monday night. He’s delivered first-round fantasy value this season, slashing .251/.320/.541 with 69 runs scored, 34 home runs, 69 RBI and five steals in 460 plate appearances.

Torkelson grabs a seat on the bench with Colt Keith handling the cold corner against Pittsburgh starter Carmen Mlodzinski. The 26-year-old first baseman has hit a robust .291 (30-for-103) with four homers and 20 RBI in 28 games since last month’s All-Star break.

Story added that he’s feels fine from a physical standpoint after kicking off a minor league rehab assignment over the weekend. The 33-year-old veteran shortstop has missed the entirety of Boston’s remarkable midseason turnaround while recovering from sports hernia surgery. It sounds like he could return later this week after getting a few additional rehab games under his belt. Andruw Monasterio has done a remarkable job handling shortstop for the Red Sox over the last few weeks.

Burleson also singled later on. He’s up to 92 RBI, giving him one more than CJ Abrams and Sal Stewart for the major league lead. His 32 doubles lead the majors by two ahead of Rafael Devers, Matt Olson and Bryan Reynolds.
