Aaron Blair - S - Braves

Aaron Blair was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Per SB Nation's Chris Cotillo, Blair is on his way to Los Angeles to replace tomorrow's scheduled starter Jaime Garcia, who should be a Minnesota Twin by the end of the night. Blair spent a few days with the Braves in April but didn't appear in any games. The 25-year-old has compiled a 4.92 ERA over 17 starts for Gwinnett this season.

Grant Dayton - R - Dodgers

Dodgers activated LHP Grant Dayton from the 10-day disabled list.

Sergio Romo was designated for assignment in the corresponding move. Dayton missed two weeks with neck stiffness. He'll serve as a left-handed specialist out of the Dodgers' pen.

Sergio Romo - R - Dodgers

Dodgers designated RHP Sergio Romo for assignment.

That clears a roster spot for Grant Dayton, who is back from the 10-day DL. Romo's Dodgers career ends with a brutal 6.12 ERA over 30 outings. Injuries have hampered Romo over the last few years including a stint on the disabled list last month. Despite his struggles this season, the 34-year-old has a proven track record and shouldn't take long to resurface.

Logan Forsythe - 2B - Dodgers

Logan Forsythe is not in the Dodgers' lineup Thursday against the Braves.

He's getting a maintenance day. Forsythe has struggled since the All-Star break, batting just .188 over 16 at-bats. Chase Utley will fill in at second and bat leadoff against Braves right-hander Mike Foltynewicz.

Eduardo Nunez - 3B - Giants

Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) is back in the Giants' lineup Thursday against the Padres.

Nunez wasn't in the lineup Wednesday but singled as a pinch-hitter later in the game. He's been dealing with hamstring issues for about a month and the Giants are obviously going to err on the side of caution with the trade deadline coming up. Nunez will start at third base and bat second Thursday against right-hander Jhoulys Chacin.

Nate Karns - S - Royals

Nate Karns (elbow) underwent successful thoracic outlet surgery on Wednesday.

Karns hadn't pitched in a game since May 19. He logged a 4.17 ERA in his first year with Kansas City. Karns should be recovered by the start of spring training next season.

Sam Gaviglio - S - Mariners

Mariners optioned RHP Sam Gaviglio to Triple-A Tacoma.

That clears a spot for reliever Max Povse. Gaviglio has lost his last four starts while contributing a 6.65 ERA during that span. He'll be back eventually.
