Wynns has accepted the assignment according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wynns was designated for assignment and went unclaimed, and now is organizational depth at the Triple-A level.

Marte was removed from Friday’s lineup with tightness in his back and he wasn’t able to play Saturday, either. The 30-year-old will miss at least one more game with Kevin Newman hitting ninth and playing second base.

Kershaw continues to make progress from his shoulder surgery, and the left-hander is getting closer to a rehab appearance. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Kershaw’s next outing would aim for three simulated innings. Kershaw is expected back not long after the All-Star break.

Campusano was activated off the injured list Friday, but this is his first time in the starting lineup since he was reinstated. Kyle Higashioka retreats to the bench with Campusano in the starting nine.

Correa was hit in the hand by a pitch, and after being visited by trainers, the shortstop was forced to leave the game. The Twins will assuredly have the star shortstop undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer is replacing Correa in the lineup.

Miranda’s reward for reaching in 12 straight at-bats is a rest Sunday for the series finale against the Astros. The 26-year-old will begin the game on the bench with Matt Wallner getting the start after being recalled from St. Paul.

Rodríguez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, but the outfielder is being kept out for precautionary measures according to manager Scott Servais, and he could be available off the bench. Even with the 23-year-old struggling for most of the 2024 campaign, this is obviously welcome news to fantasy managers who hope to see better things from Rodríguez in the second half of 2024.

Varland gets the heave-ho with Justin Wrobleski up from OKC to get the start against the Brewers on Sunday. Based on previous patterns, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see the 27-year-old back with the Dodgers before the end of July.

Wrobleski is up and will make a start Sunday against the Brewers. He’s pitched well thus far in Triple-A, but it’s a tough first matchup for the southpaw. Gus Varland was sent down in the corresponding transaction.

Rodríguez was removed with a right quad injury during Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays, and it’s unsurprising that he’s going to miss at least one full game with the injury. How much more time he misses will depend on the results of his MRI. Victor Robles gets the start in center field and will hit ninth against Toronto on Sunday.

Gage was designated for assignment Wednesday, and the Mets will add him to the 40-man roster while stashing him in Triple-A Syracuse. The 31-year-old did pitch well in the minors while with the Dodgers with a 2.79 ERA and 27/10 K/BB over his 19 1/3 innings in 18 appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
