Arruda, 23, played in a team-leading 41 of Fredericksburg's first 48 games. He batted .235 with five doubles, two triples, one home run and nine runs batted in. He led the team with nine stolen bases in nine attempts, and his 29 walks gave him a team-leading .373 on-base percentage.

Turner, 25, had been on Fredericksburg's injured list since the start of the season but was not with the team. The right-handed reliever out of Missouri State is 2-5 with a 4.81 earned run average in two professional seasons, and most recently pitched with short-season Auburn and Class-A Hagerstown in 2019.

Witt, 23, re-joins the Fredericksburg roster after playing in nine games from May 5 to May 16. The infielder out of Virginia Commonwealth University batted .056 with one hit, one run batted in and five walks, getting six starts at shortstop. He will once again wear uniform number 8.

Barrett, 33, pitched in four games for the FredNats after joining the team on rehab from Triple-A Rochester.

In his first appearance on June 19, he struck out four batters in one inning.

The Fredericksburg active roster currently stands at 29 players.
