The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse following Monday night's game.

Brazoban came on in relief of Frankie Montas during the fifth inning of Monday's game against the Padres, inheriting runners on second and third with one out and a 5-3 lead. While he eventually recorded the last two outs of the inning, Brazoban allowed three hits and a walk, which led to the Padres taking the lead with their sixth run of the game. In a corresponding move, the Mets re-signed Chris Devenski to the active roster Tuesday.

The Mets signed Devenski to a one-year major-league contract Tuesday.

Devenski rejoins the Mets after being designated for assignment by them July 22. He had elected free agency Saturday, but the Mets resigned him Tuesday after they optioned Huascar Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Scott still has several hurdles to clear before he can come off the injured list, but his return to throwing is a positive sign nonetheless. The 31-year-old reliever landed on the IL last Tuesday with elbow inflammation and remains without a clear return timeline, though he's still expected back in the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the year.

The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Hollowell has a 5.24 ERA with a 34:12 K:BB in 22.1 innings across 20 games for Triple-A Iowa in 2025. Since being optioned back down May 12, he has a 6.23 ERA across 13 innings. With the 27-year-old returning to the active roster, Chris Flexen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Zastryzny (ribs) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and hopes to resume his rehab assignment this weekend, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Zastryzny had to be pulled off his rehab assignment Monday, but evidently the setback was deemed minor. The left-hander could be ready to rejoin the Brewers' bullpen by early August if all goes well.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll provide a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for five innings in Monday's win over the Cubs. McGee has allowed two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over seven innings during his time in the majors this season.

The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Yoho was in the majors for just one day and walked two over two-thirds of a scoreless inning in his lone appearance. Easton McGee is taking Yoho's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Treinen allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning against the Reds on Monday.

Treinen was reinstated Sunday from a lengthy stay on the injured list due to a forearm injury and saw his first MLB game action in over three months Monday. Though he didn't enter in a save situation, the right-hander did get the ball in the ninth inning with Los Angeles holding a 5-1 lead. Treinen looked rusty in the outing, throwing just 15 of 25 pitches for strikes and walking a pair. After issuing a free pass to TJ Friedl to load the bases with two outs, manager Dave Roberts elected to turn to Jack Dreyer, who was able to nab a save by getting Matt McLain to ground out. With Tanner Scott (elbow) currently on the IL and without a definite timeline for a return, the Dodgers' closer situation is nebulous, and Treinen could certainly factor into the mix, though Roberts may first want to allow him to shake off any cobwebs lingering from the extended absence. The Dodgers are also rumored to be seeking bullpen help as the trade deadline approaches.

Nardi (back) has begun throwing off a mound, MLB.com reports.

The southpaw reliever has yet to pitch in 2025 due to lower-back inflammation that cropped up in spring training, but he began a throwing progression in mid-June and has now graduated to mound work. It's not clear exactly what that entails or when he might be ready to face live batters, or even if he's done so already, but a return to the Marlins' bullpen some time in August could be feasible.

The Phillies outrighted Cusick to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Cusick passed through waivers after being booted off the Phillies' 40-man roster and will remain in the organization. The right-hander has yet to see any action in the majors and has allowed 21 runs over 21.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025.
