Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Oviedo was effective over his 25.1 big-league innings with the Cardinals this season, but the Pirates want to work with him in the minors before adding him to their major-league roster. Expect him to be recalled at some point before the season comes to a close.

The Mets reinstated deGrom (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game in Washington.

Just as the team had announced a few days earlier, deGrom will make his first start with the Mets since July 7, 2021 after he recently wrapped up a four-outing rehab assignment in the minors. In his final outing with Triple-A Syracuse on July 27, deGrom built up to four innings and 67 pitches, so he could have some light restrictions with his workload as he returns to the mound for the big club. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will line up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday versus Atlanta at Citi Field.

The Phillies transferred Eflin (kneecap) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The move delays Eflin's return until the final week of August at the earliest. Before going down in late June, the righty had pitched to a 4.37 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 56 strikeouts in 68 innings. Assuming he comes back healthy before the season ends, Eflin will likely slot back into the back part of Philadelphia's rotation.

Peralta (lat) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday to start against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Brewers clearly didn't trade for Peralta, but he has not appeared in a game with the big club since May 22, so he can partly be viewed as a big post-deadline addition. Peralta threw only 52 pitches in his last rehab start, so he probably isn't ready for a full workload just yet. However, he should be back at full strength within a matter of weeks.

The Rockies recalled Feltner from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in San Diego.

Feltner, who is making his ninth appearance and eighth start of the season for the Rockies, will carry a 1-3 record, 5.59 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into the contest. He'll likely be bound for Albuquerque immediately after his start, unless the Rockies deal away another starting pitcher prior to Tuesday's trade deadline and have a permanent opening in the rotation.

The Nationals acquired Gore (elbow), first baseman Luke Voit, infielder CJ Abrams, outfielders James Wood and Robert Hassell and right-hander Jarlin Susana from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Gore was placed on the injured list last week with left elbow inflammation and soreness, but no structural damage was detected and he's expected to continue treating the injury through rest and rehab. Though Gore is unlikely to be ready to come off the IL until September, so long as he avoids surgery to address the injury, the 23-year-old will be a high-upside addition to a Nationals rotation that's currently short on impact arms. After a turbulent, injury-plagued minor-league season in 2021, Gore showed up healthy to spring training and pushed his way onto the Padres' Opening Day roster. Gore held down a rotation spot for the better part of the first half and struck out more than a batter per inning, but a few blowups in June and July inflated his ERA and WHIP to 4.50 and 1.47, respectively, before he landed on the IL. He'll look to return healthy by season's end to set the stage for a full-time appointment in the Washington rotation to begin the 2023 campaign.

Davies didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over two-plus innings. He struck out one.

Two of the hits Davies allowed left the yard, including an Amed Rosario two-run blast to left-center field that chased the right-hander from the game with nobody out in the third inning. It was an inauspicious return to the rotation for Davies, who missed all of July with a shoulder issue, and he'll take a 4.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 63:28 K:BB through 82 innings into his next outing.

Henry was added to the taxi squad for Arizona's series in Cleveland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The left-handed Henry could see action in the majors as early as Wednesday. The Diamondbacks changed their scheduled starter for that day from Madison Bumgarner to "TBA." Henry has a respectable 3.83 ERA over 20 starts for Triple-A Reno in the Pacific Coast League this season.

Corbin (4-15) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

Corbin gave up three runs in the second inning and another in the third before being pulled with one out in the fifth frame. The left-hander racked up 12 swinging strikes but was done in by allowing five two-out hits. Corbin has struggled most of the season, but his problems have really been emphasized over his past five outings. During that stretch, he's registered a 10.29 ERA and 2.19 WHIP while taking five losses over 21 innings.

The Pirates acquired Oviedo and infielder Malcom Nunez from the Cardinals on Monday in exchange for left-hander Jose Quintana and right-hander Chris Stratton.

Oviedo has filled a versatile role for the Cardinals, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He should function as a multi-inning reliever in Pittsburgh's bullpen going forward.
