Alvarez takes a seat for the second straight game with Luis Torrens handling the catching duties. The 24-year-old backstop is presumably being closely monitored from a workload standpoint after making it back to New York is roughly one month after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Sheets takes a seat for the second consecutive contest due to plantar fasciitis. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he’s unable to get back into San Diego’s lineup later this week.

Sears earns a ticket back to the minors with San Diego acquiring starter Casey Mize from the Tigers at the trade deadline. The 30-year-old lefty has posted an underwhelming 4.68 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25/11 K/BB ratio across 32 2/3 innings in the majors this season.

Durán heads back to the minors with San Diego picking up Casey Mize and Gage Workman from the Tigers at the trade deadline.

Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.

Donovan is back at third base and hitting seventh against the Tigers on Tuesday night after missing nearly three months with a groin issue that put him on the injured list back in mid-May. The versatile 29-year-old has been snake-bitten by injuries, which have limited him to just 25 games in his Seattle debut this season.

Pereda returns as Seattle’s backup catcher with the club finally moving on from veteran Mitch Garver. The 30-year-old hit .270/.324/.365 with two homers in 68 plate appearances over 19 games earlier this season.

Fairchild went 0-for-1 at the dish during his lone game for the Mariners. The 30-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.

Refsnyder loses his spot on Seattle’s roster with Taylor Ward coming over at the trade deadline. The 35-year-old hit .140 (16-for-114) with four homers and 11 RBI in 53 games for the Mariners this season.

Garver hit .175/.302/.294 with four homers and 15 RBI in 149 plate appearances this season. He should be able to latch on somewhere as emergency catching depth, if he plans to keep on playing.

Mushinski gets the nod to fill the open spot on Colorado’s active roster following their trade deadline moves. The 30-year-old has posted a pedestrian 5.45 ERA across 33 innings in the big leagues since 2022. He’ll operate in low-leverage duty for the Rockies.
