Stuart (elbow) allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings Thursday against Double-A Reading.

Stuart began the season on the 7-day injured list due to an elbow injury, and he's back at Double-A after completing his rehab assignment. He looked a bit rusty in his first appearance for the Senators this season but should get an opportunity to bounce back later in the week.

The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Gillispie was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday but did not make an appearance for the big club. He'll return to Triple-A, where he has a 2-0 record across six games (five starts) with a 4.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 24.2 innings. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Eury Perez (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Perez (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Pirates.

Perez has fully recovered from Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the entire 2024 season and the first two-plus months of 2025. He finished his rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville, and across three outings he posted a 2.13 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 12.2 innings. Perez had a 5-6 record across 19 starts with the Marlins during the 2023 regular season with a 3.15 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 108:31 K:BB across 91.1 innings. Connor Gillispie was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville and Ryan Weathers (lat) was placed on the 60-day IL in order to make room on the 26-man roster for Perez.

The Marlins placed Weathers on the 60-day injured list Monday due to a left lat strain.

Weathers flew back to Miami on Monday to be evaluated after he experienced shoulder discomfort during his most recent start Saturday against the Rays. Further tests revealed a lat strain, and the Marlins made the quick decision to place the 25-year-old southpaw on the 60-day IL rather than the 15-day IL. As a result of the transaction, Weathers won't be eligible to resume pitching for the Marlins until at least mid-August. Weathers is now on the IL for the second time this season, after he missed the first six weeks of the campaign while recovering from a left forearm injury. In a corresponding move, the Marlins activated Eury Perez (elbow) from the 60-day IL ahead of his 2025 MLB debut Monday against the Pirates.

Roby has been promoted from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis.

Roby has bounced back from last year's injury-shortened, disappointing campaign by posting a 2.49 ERA and 57:11 K:BB over 47 frames covering 10 starts with Springfield. This will be the 23-year-old's first stint at the Triple-A level.

Weathers returned to Miami on Monday and will be evaluated due to shoulder discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Weathers was removed from Saturday's start against the Rays after being hit in the head by a throw from catcher Nick Fortes between innings. Prior to that, however, Weathers was seen flexing his arm and experienced diminished velocity, so the shoulder discomfort makes sense now. The left-hander has made just five starts this season after missing the start of 2025 with a forearm issue. Weathers is 1-1 with a 3.28 ERA and 23:8 K:BB across 24.2 innings of work. A trip to the 15-day injured list could be in his near future.

Greene is headed to Los Angeles on Monday for a second opinion on his back and groin injuries, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Greene initially injured his groin in a May 7 start against Atlanta but missed the minimum 15 days on the IL and made three starts before aggravating the groin issue while also coming down with a back issue June 3 versus Milwaukee. He's already been sent back to the 15-day injured list but appears to be looking at a lengthier recovery this time around. Wade Miley has been signed by Cincinnati and is expected to make his first start with the Reds on Monday against the Guardians.

The Phillies reinstated Wheeler from the paternity list ahead of Monday's start against the Cubs.

In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned Daniel Robert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Wheeler (6-2) has made 12 starts this season and sports a 2.96 ERA and 94:18 KBB across 76 innings of work. He gets a tough test against a Cubs lineup that is fourth in OPS against right-handed pitching in 2025.

The Cardinals optioned McGreevy to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

McGreevy was called up to make Sunday's start against the Dodgers, and he took the loss after allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts across six innings. McGreevy will likely be back in St. Louis again at some point this summer.

Atlanta announced Monday that Smith-Shawver (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.

This was the expected outcome after Smith-Shawver was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his pitching elbow, which he suffered May 29. Smith-Shawver was placed on the 60-day injured list the following day and is looking at a lengthy rehab. Prior to his injury, Smith-Shawver (3-2) made nine starts for Atlanta this season, registering a 3.86 ERA and 42:21 K:BB across 44.1 innings of work. Grant Holmes and Bryce Elder round out Atlanta's rotation behind Chris Sale, Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach. Fellow starter Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) remains on the 60-day IL.
