Pedro Beato - R - Phillies

Phillies sent RHP Pedro Beato outright to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Beato was designated for assignment earlier in the week to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Pedro Florimon. He'll continue to serve as organizational bullpen depth for the Phillies.
Aug 19 - 9:40 AM
Ashur Tolliver - R - Mariners

Mariners signed LHP Ashur Tolliver to a minor league contract.

The 29-year-old left-hander was released by the Astros earlier in the week. He has spent the majority of the season at Triple-A Fresno where he registered a troublesome 7.13 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 28/33 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings.
Aug 19 - 9:38 AM
Aaron Slegers - S - Twins

Twins optioned RHP Aaron Slegers to Triple-A Rochester.

This move occurred prior to Friday's game after Slegers had functioned as the 26th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Indians. He pitched well in his debut, allowing just two runs over 6 1/3 innings against the Tribe.
Aug 19 - 9:35 AM
Dylan Floro - R - Dodgers

Dodgers designated RHP Dylan Floro for assignment.

The move was made to create a spot on the 40-man roster for the recently-acquired Curtis Granderson. There's a decent chance that he'll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as bullpen depth at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Aug 19 - 9:33 AM
Ben Lively - S - Phillies

The Phillies plan to recall Ben Lively from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start against the Giants on Sunday.

He'll take the spot of the injured Odubel Herrera on the club's active roster. His return to the rotation is expected to bump Mark Leiter Jr. back to the bullpen.

Guillermo Heredia - OF - Mariners

Guillermo Heredia (arm) went 1-for-4 with a double in his return to action on Friday.

Heredia was lifted from Wednesday's game against the Orioles after he was struck by a pitch from Ubaldo Jimenez. The 26-year-old outfielder is having a solid season at the dish, hitting .286/.347/.397 with six homers and 22 RBI in his 317 plate appearances.
Aug 19 - 8:12 AM
Orlando Arcia - SS - Brewers

Orlando Arcia (back) returned to the Brewers' lineup with a bang on Friday, belting a solo home run in a loss to the Rockies.

Arcia was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms and sat out on Wednesday as well as a precautionary measure. He finished the day 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now slashing .284/.327/.424 with 12 homers and 40 RBI on the season.
Aug 19 - 8:09 AM
Hunter Pence - OF - Giants

Hunter Pence homered and doubled as the Giants crushed the Phillies 10-2 on Friday.

It's alive! Pence is hitting .351 with four homers in 57 at-bats this month, raising his OPS from .637 to .699. It could be worth giving him another try in mixed leagues, though since he's in a bad lineup and he's not going to steal bases, his ceiling is pretty limited.
