  • Tayler Scott RP | ATL

    Diamondbacks' Tayler Scott: Added to big-league bullpen

    The Diamondbacks selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Scott will come up alongside Kevin Ginkel and Bryce Jarvis to replace Jeff Brigham, Justin Martinez (elbow) and Christian Montes De Oca (elbow) in Arizona's bullpen. Scott, 33, turned in a 5.40 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 16.2 innings during his time with the Astros this year, though he's fired 3.1 shutout innings in Triple-A since joining the D-backs organization.

  • Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Officially promoted

    The Diamondbacks recalled Jarvis from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Jarvis will be promoted as part of a flurry of roster moves that also includes Kevin Ginkel and Tayler Scott joining the active roster, while Justin Martinez (elbow) and Christian Montes De Oca (elbow) land on the IL and Jeff Brigham returns to Triple-A. Jarvis has given up six earned runs in 7.1 major-league innings this season and will likely be reserved for low-leverage work while in Arizona.

  • Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Out with UCL sprain

    The Diamondbacks placed Martinez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a sprained UCL in his right elbow.

    The right-hander experienced tightness in the elbow during the ninth inning of Monday's contest, and a UCL sprain is an ominous initial diagnosis. The severity of the issue isn't yet known, and manager Torey Lovullo said Martinez is headed for a second opinion on the MRI result, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Even a low-grade sprain could require a lengthy absence, with Tommy John surgery likely being the worst-case scenario. Shelby Miller is likely to be the next man up as Arizona's closer.

  • Kevin Ginkel RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Back in Arizona

    The Diamondbacks recalled Ginkel from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Ginkel will be joined on the trip from Reno by Bryce Jarvis and Tayler Scott, who will all join the big-league squad to replace the injured Justin Martinez (elbow) and Christian Montes De Oca (elbow), as well as the demoted Jeff Brigham. Ginkel hasn't found much success in the big leagues this year with a 12.60 ERA through 10 innings, though he has the potential to bounce back after posting a 3.21 ERA in 70 MLB frames last season.

  • Lou Trivino RP | PHI

    Dodgers' Lou Trivino: Opening Tuesday's contest

    Trivino will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Trivino has been highly effective since joining the Dodgers on May 18, posting a 1.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 10.1 innings. He'll now be entrusted with the first inning or two Tuesday, after which Matt Sauer is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

  • Yilber Diaz RP | DET

    Diamondbacks' Yilber Diaz: Rejoining Triple-A Reno

    Diaz was promoted from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Diaz was transferred from Reno to the ACL back on May 26 as the Diamondbacks hoped to get him back on track following a rough start to the season in the Pacific Coast League, where he turned in a 7.50 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 33:31 K:BB in 30 innings over his first eight starts. He made a lone appearance in the ACL on Saturday, giving up two earned runs across two innings but striking out five and walking none. The performance was enough for Diaz to earn a return to Triple-A, though it's unclear whether he'll slot back into Reno's rotation right away.

  • Diamondbacks' Andrew Saalfrank: Sent to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks assigned Saalfrank to Triple-A Reno from the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Saalfrank was reinstated from a the ineligible list June 5 after missing a year due to a suspension. He now returns to Triple-A Reno where he made 23 and 18 appearances during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, respectively.

  • Matt Sauer RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

    Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Dodgers' Jose Urena: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Dodgers designated Urena for assignment Tuesday.

    Urena allowed one run over three innings covering two appearances during his brief time in a Dodgers uniform. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Matt Sauer, who has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is expected to start Tuesday's contest in San Diego.

  • Porter Hodge SP | CHC

    Cubs' Porter Hodge: Cleared to face hitters

    Hodge (hip) is scheduled to face Triple-A Iowa hitters in a live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    The Cubs are on the road in Philadelphia, so Hodge will link up with the team's top minor-league affiliate to face hitters. He was given the green light to advance to the next phase of his recovery from a left hip impingement after he completed a 30-pitch bullpen session Saturday. After Tuesday's workout, Hodge could stick around with Iowa to make a rehab appearance or two before returning from the 15-day injured list.
