Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
The Rockies activated Gordon (oblique) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Gordon is over his oblique strain, but the Rockies have elected to keep him at Albuquerque where he had been on his rehab assignment rather than adding him back to the major-league roster. The righty will be part of Albuquerque's rotation.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Game postponed Tuesday
Peralta won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
The game will be made up via a split doubleheader Wednesday, with Peralta poised to take the mound for one of those contests. The right-hander is 3-0 in his past four starts and has a 28.6 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 22 innings during that span.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Ready for return to big leagues
Woodruff (elbow) has completed his rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the injured list to start this weekend against the Marlins, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
After a tumultuous rehab from shoulder surgery, Woodruff is finally ready to make his return to the big-league mound for Milwaukee. The 32-year-old threw 80 pitches over 3.2 frames during his final rehab outing with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, so he shouldn't have any major workload limitations in his first start. However, the Brewers are likely to remain cautious with the right-hander in his first MLB start since September of 2023.

Kodai Senga SP | NYM
Mets' Kodai Senga: Throws live batting practice
Senga (hamstring) threw an up-and-down live batting practice session Sunday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
This marked Senga's first time facing hitters since he suffered a Grade 1 right hamstring strain nearly three weeks ago. His next step is to throw a bullpen session and go through pitchers' fielding practice Wednesday. If he gets through that without any hiccups, he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. The Mets don't expect Senga back until early on in the second half.

Nick Nastrini SP | LAD
Marlins' Nick Nastrini: Claimed off waivers by Marlins
The Marlins claimed Nastrini off waivers from the White Sox on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.
Nastrini has struggled mightily at Triple-A Charlotte this season, posting a 7.51 ERA and 48:39 K:BB over 44.1 innings. He also managed just a 7.07 ERA and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 frames at the big-league level in 2024. However, Nastrini is still just 25 and was a fairly well-thought-of prospect at one time, so the Marlins felt he was worth a waiver claim.

Trevor Williams SP | WAS
Nationals' Trevor Williams: Tuesday's game postponed
Williams won't start as scheduled Tuesday versus the Tigers since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
It's already been a week since Williams made his previous start June 24, and he'll get another day of rest before likely taking the mound during Wednesday's doubleheader. The 33-year-old is looking for his first win since May 28, and he has a 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB over 24.1 innings during the winless stretch.

Nick Pivetta RP | SD
Padres' Nick Pivetta: Padres-Phillies game rained out
Pivetta's next outing will be pushed back after Tuesday's game in Philadelphia was postponed due to inclement weather.
The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Wednesday. Pivetta will presumably draw the start in one of those games, but it's not yet clear whether it will be the matinee or nightcap.

Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Padres-Phillies game postponed
Sanchez will have his next start pushed back after Tuesday's game versus the Padres was postponed due to inclement weather.
The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Sanchez will start the second game of the twin bill.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Making rehab start Tuesday
Manaea (oblique/elbow) will resume a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Manaea was given a cortisone shot one week ago after being diagnosed with a loose body in his pitching elbow and has been cleared to return to game action. It could be the final rehab start he makes before rejoining the Mets' rotation next week. Manaea initially went on the injured list prior to Opening Day due to an oblique strain.
