Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (heel) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Carpenter was removed from the contest after four innings due to a re-aggravated right heel issue. He was hitless in his two plate appearances before leaving. The left-handed slugger missed Tuesday's game due to the same injury. The Tigers plan to re-evaluate Carpenter, and fantasy managers should get a better timetable on his status after that. He hasn't been helping much lately anyway, going 6-for-52 at the plate this month. He should be considered day-to-day, but a stint on the Injured List wouldn't be shocking.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (abdomen) is unlikely to return during the current homestand. On Sunday, manager Tony Vitello said Chapman is still without a target date to return from the 10-day Injured List. Earlier in the week, Vitello said there was a chance that Chapman would return during this homestand that ends on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like that is going to happen with Chapman needing additional time to recover from his abdominal strain. The veteran slugger has been out since the beginning of July due to the injury. Casey Schmitt figures to continue seeing significant playing time at the hot corner while Chapman remains sidelined.

The St. Louis Cardinals traded right-handed pitcher Scott Blewett to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday. Blewett threw two scoreless innings during his team debut on Tuesday and was designated for assignment on Wednesday. The Cardinals only called him up because he was out of options, so he was never expected to stick on the roster. The 30-year-old owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 63/34 K/BB ratio across 44 games across five big league seasons. He figures to pitch in low-leverage situations for the A's, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him.

The Chicago White Sox acquired right-handed pitcher Jose Urquidy from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. In exchange, the Pirates will receive right-handed pitcher Felix Doroteo. Urquidy hasn't seen much action in the big leagues over the last few years. He made five relief appearances for the Pirates, but was shelled for 10 earned runs. Since then, Urquidy owns a 3.66 ERA, with a 73/18 K/BB ratio across 83.2 innings as a starting pitcher with Triple-A Indianapolis. This isn't the blockbuster trade deadline move that'll save the White Sox's season, but it's something. The expectation is that Urquidy will head to Triple-A and serve as depth.
