  • Reds' Nick Martinez: Tuesday's start rained out

    Martinez and the Reds won't face Atlanta on Tuesday because the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

    Tuesday's game will be made up during a doubleheader Wednesday, and Martinez will start the second game of the twin bill, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. The 33-year-old holds a 3.88 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 72 innings on the season, though he hasn't started a game since May.

  • Mets' Sean Reid-Foley: Beginning assignment Thursday

    Reid-Foley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn on Thursday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

    Reid-Foley said Tuesday that he's feeling good after facing hitters for the first time Monday, so the Mets will now look to get him in a few games in the minor leagues. It's unclear how long the 28-year-old right-hander may remain on a rehab assignment, but a return to New York before the end of July hasn't yet been ruled out.

  • Reed Garrett RP | NYM

    Mets' Reed Garrett: Hopes for mound work this weekend

    Garrett (elbow) hopes to be ready to throw a bullpen session by this weekend, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Garrett began throwing on flat ground over a weekend, so it would seem to be a good sign that he could progress to mound work soon. The reliever has been out of commission for the last two weeks with right elbow inflammation. He might require a rehab appearance or two before being activated.

  • Alex Young RP | CIN

    Mets' Alex Young: Brought up to bigs

    The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    With Christian Scott (elbow) headed to the injured list, Young, who was claimed off waivers Wednesday from San Francisco, will join the 26-man roster and make his Mets debut. The left-hander has logged two big-league innings this season, yielding four hits and no runs with a pair of strikeouts. He'll serve out of the bullpen for the Mets.

  • Jose Hernandez RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Jose Hernandez: Bumped up to Triple-A

    Hernandez was transferred to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Hernandez was outrighted to the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday but was moved to Triple-A. The 26-year-old lefty appeared in seven games with the Pirates before being traded to the Dodgers June 13 and could be called up if the big-league team requires some bullpen help.

  • Cubs' Keegan Thompson: Throwing live batting practice

    Thompson (ribs) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    It would appear to be the first time he's faced hitters since going down with a right rib fracture in late June. Thompson should be cleared for a rehab assignment soon if all goes well, with a return likely pegged for early August.

  • Josh Simpson RP | SEA

    Marlins' Josh Simpson: Ramping up

    Simpson (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Tuesday's session marked Simpson's second bullpen since undergoing elbow surgery in late April. The lefty is expected to complete up to two more sessions before being cleared to face hitters and still appears multiple weeks away from being activated.

  • Red Sox's Isaiah Campbell: On Triple-A IL with elbow injury

    Campbell was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    It's not clear how long Campbell might be sidelined, but certainly he won't be an option for Boston's bullpen anytime soon. The 26-year-old has been tagged for 13 runs (12 earned) over 6.2 innings with the Red Sox this season but has pitched well at Worcester, holding a 2.20 ERA and 19:5 K:BB across 16.1 frames.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Starting bullpen game

    Holton will start Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Holton will be the first reliever to take the mound for the Tigers during what's slated to be a bullpen game. The 28-year-old isn't likely to work more than three innings before handing the ball off.

  • Justin Topa RP | NYY

    Twins' Justin Topa: Sent on assignment

    Topa (knee) will start a rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

    Topa hasn't played in 2024 due to a tear in the patellar tendon of his left knee, but he'll see his first in-game action since being returned from a rehab assignment in early May. The reliever will likely need several rehab appearances before being activated, and it's likely he won't be back in action until August.
