    Twins selected the contract of C Alex Jackson from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Jackson, who was DFA’d on Friday, is now back on the Twins’ major league roster after clearing waivers. The return of a third catcher suggests that Victor Caratini will be getting some extra playing time at DH and/or first base.

    Diamondbacks recalled INF Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Reno.

    Fernandez receives the call to rejoin Arizona’s infield mix with franchise cornerstone Ketel Marte landing on the restricted list. The 22-year-old rookie hit .255 with three homers and seven steals across 177 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks before being shipped back to the minors in early June.

    Diamondbacks placed 2B Ketel Marte on the restricted list.

    It’s unclear what exactly transpired that precipitated this unexpected development. It would be reckless to speculate. Marte missed a game over the weekend with left knee soreness, but returned to Arizona’s lineup for Sunday’s series finale against Atlanta. Jose Fernandez was brought up from Triple-A Reno to fill his roster spot. There should be some much-needed clarity on his status shortly.

    Jacob Wilson was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s contest against the Royals with left shoulder soreness.

    Alika Williams takes over at shortstop. It’s somewhat encouraging that Wilson’s absence isn’t related to a finger issue that cost him time over the weekend. It’s also not his throwing shoulder. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point later this week. The Athletics have been ravaged by injuries to key contributors and they’ll likely proceed with an abundance of caution here.

    Kyle Teel (ankle) progressed to taking batting practice on Monday.

    Teel was cleared to start a hitting progression last week and will continue to ramp up baseball activities with the hope of making it back to Chicago by early-to-mid September. He hit the injured list with a high ankle sprain back in late July.

    Matt Shaw (hand) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday.

    Shaw figures to be in the mix for starts between second and third base, along with rookie Pedro Ramírez, while shortstop Dansby Swanson is on the injured list with an oblique strain for the next month. The 24-year-old former top prospect has been on the injured list with a hand strain since late June. He should make it back to Chicago at some point before the end of August.

    Kerry Carpenter (plantar fasciitis) will visit a foot specialist later this week.

    There should be an idea of Carpenter’s next steps in the coming days, but his odds of returning this season feel extremely low. The power-hitting corner outfielder landed on the injured list with plantar fasciitis back in late July.

    Jason Adam (shoulder) has progressed to playing light catch.

    Adam told reporters afterwards that he’s pain-free after throwing for the first time since hitting the injured list with a shoulder strain back in early July. He’ll need a couple weeks to ramp-up his throwing progression, but he figures to make it back to San Diego’s bullpen at some point in September.

    Joe Mack is out of the lineup for Monday’s game against the Phillies with right shoulder soreness.

    Marlins manager Clayton McCullough indicated that Mack is probably going to need a couple days off to rest and recover. It doesn’t sound like there’s a high level of concern that he’ll require a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Brian Navaretto handling the catching duties for the second straight game with Agustin Ramírez at DH. The 23-year-old defensive specialist has hit .240 with 12 homers in 243 plate appearances since arriving in the big leagues back in early May.

    Andrew Nardi will undergo season-ending left elbow surgery.

    Nardi experienced elbow discomfort while working his way back from a stress reaction in his ribs that put him on the injured list back in late May. The exact type of surgery won’t be known until after the procedure, but Nardi is likely facing an extended absence. He figures to miss all of next year.

    Hunter Goodman (shoulder) was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Not great. Goodman, who was in Colorado’s initial lineup at catcher and hitting third, will instead sit out his fourth consecutive game due to left shoulder inflammation. At this point, it’s challenging to dismiss the possibility of a trip to the injured list. There should be a more definitive update on his status at some point this week.
