The Arizona Diamondbacks signed free-agent infielder Luis Guillorme on Tuesday, according to sources. Guillorme is active and with Arizona on Tuesday at loanDepot Park in Miami and will serve as extra infield depth for the Snakes with All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) currently on the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old was recently released by the Los Angeles Angels after hitting .231/.302/.298 with a .600 OPS, no home runs and three RBI in 50 games. He opened the year with the Atlanta Braves and went 3-for-20 with three RBI in nine games there. Guillorme is more attractive for his defensive abilities and second and third base and will basically be a bench bat from the left side for however long he stays with the Diamondbacks. Guillorme isn't really much of a fantasy option, even in the deepest of NL-only leagues.

The Boston Red Sox released first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith on Tuesday, and he's now free to sign with another club. Boston designated Smith for assignment last week and he's now on the open market after going unclaimed on waivers. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter saw action in 83 games for the Red Sox this year and hit .237/.317/.390 with a .706 OPS, six home runs, 34 RBI and 29 runs scored in 278 trips to the plate. The former 11th overall pick by the New York Mets in 2013 hasn't lived up to his draft stock in eight seasons to this point, posting a .247/.314/.405 slash line with a .719 OPS, 64 homers and 259 RBI in 683 games played. Smith is likely going to have to settle for a minor-league contract elsewhere and could be fighting an uphill battle to make it back to the big leagues before the end of the 2024 season.

Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay expects right-hander Austin Adams' (forearm) injury to be a short-term issue. Adams will be shut down from throwing for a few days before the A's set a more clear timeline for his return from the 15-day injured list. His placement on the IL was backdated to Aug. 15. The A's put the 33-year-old reliever on the IL on Sunday with right-forearm tendinitis, but it sounds like the team is hoping he'll be ready to rejoin the major-league bullpen when he's eligible to return. Dany Jimenez (oblique) came off the IL over the weekend to take Adams' spot in the bullpen. In his first year in Oakland, Adams has gone 1-2 with a 3.92 ERA, a 1.48 WHIP and a 53:23 K:BB while hitting a league-high 13 batters in his 41 1/3 innings of work. When he returns, he'll return to a late-inning setup role in front of star closer Mason Miller.

The San Francisco Giants placed catcher Patrick Bailey (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain and recalled backstop Jakson Reetz from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Bailey was expected to start Monday night's series opener against the visiting Chicago White Sox, but he ended up being a late scratch. The Giants sent him to undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday, which revealed the injury. Veteran Curt Casali made his second straight start behind the dish in place of Bailey as a DFS budget option on Tuesday against the last-place White Sox, with Reetz getting called up to act as San Fran's backup catcher. Bailey has gone just 3-for-53 (.057) in the month of August, and Casali should operate as the primary backstop as long as he's sidelined.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil (back) left due to lower-back tightness in Tuesday night's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians in the Bronx. Gil exited Tuesday's contest against Cleveland in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, and fantasy managers now have clarity on the issue. He's tentatively lined up to take the ball in a mouthwatering matchup in Sunday's series finale at home against the Colorado Rockies, but Gil will likely see how he feels up until then before the Yankees confirm his status for that one. Following Tuesday's effort, the 26-year-old right-hander holds a 3.39 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 144:66 K:BB across 124 2/3 frames (24 starts) for New York.
