Shim (shoulder) was traded from the Pirates to the Marlins on Tuesday along with Garret Forrester in exchange for Bryan De La Cruz, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Shim was on the Florida Complex League Pirates' 60-day injured list with a right shoulder injury at the time of the trade. A 6-foot-4 Korean righty, Shim has big-time stuff but has been unable to hold up physically. He has 13 strikeouts in eight career innings since signing for $750,000 in January of 2023.

Fedde is scheduled to make his first start with the Cardinals on Friday versus the Cubs in Chicago, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Before being acquired from the White Sox on Monday, Fedde made his final start with the Pale Hose this past Saturday. Following Monday's trade, Fedde won't join the Cardinals in St. Louis before their series with the Rangers comes to an end Wednesday, as he'll instead remain in Chicago while waiting for his new teammates to arrive Thursday. Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his 21 starts with the White Sox this season.

Cole (general fatigue) reiterated he's not dealing with an arm issue after being scratched from Tuesday's start against the Phillies, and he expects to pitch this weekend versus the Blue Jays, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Cole has also been battling a stomach bug this week, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, so taking few extra days to rest should be beneficial. Cole's status over the next few days will be worth monitoring, but there doesn't appear to be any long-term concerns. Will Warren is making his MLB debut Tuesday for the Yankees.

The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Munoz had been optioned to Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Marlins without making an appearance in the minors since he'll be replacing one of the many players that Miami traded away ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The banged-up Marlins still have plenty of holes in their rotation, so Munoz could step back into a starting role as soon as Wednesday at Tampa Bay or Thursday at Atlanta. He holds a 5.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:31 K:BB over 61 innings in the majors in 2024.

Mazur was traded from the Padres to the Marlins on Tuesday along with Robby Snelling, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Mazur's minor-league body of work was pretty stellar (2.37 FIP at Double-A in 2024, 3.01 FIP at Double-A in 2023) before he reached the Pacific Coast League and the majors this season. In five Triple-A starts, Mazur has a 7.83 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, which is similar to his 7.49 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in eight big-league starts. He will likely head to Triple-A Jacksonville for the time being, but Mazur should get plenty of chances to carve out a spot in Miami's rotation in the coming years.

Snelling is part of the prospect package going from San Diego to Miami in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Snelling is the youngest qualified pitcher at Double-A, which helps explain some of his struggles this season. He had a 6.01 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 67:33 K:BB in 73.1 innings across 16 starts in the Texas League. Snelling has been capable of strong performances this year, including several starts in which he allowed one earned run or fewer with five-plus strikeouts over at least five innings, but he has lacked consistency, mixing in multiple starts in which he gave up more runs than innings pitched. The Marlins will likely assign Snelling to Double-A Pensacola, and if he can display more consistency, he could join the big-league rotation at some point in 2025.

Garcia (elbow) threw 30 pitches split across two simulated innings Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Garcia faced hitters Tuesday and was able to reach 93 miles per hour during the session, which is in line with his normal fastball velocity. While the right-hander will still require a rehab assignment, the expectation is that Garcia will join the Astros before the regular season ends.

DeGrom (elbow) will throw a 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom is expected to throw two total bullpen sessions on this road trip before facing hitters. He threw between 40 and 45 pitches in a bullpen session a week ago, so deGrom's workload hasn't been increasing, although his intensity in each session could be progressing. Once he throws his final bullpen session this week, we could get an update on when and where he will face hitters.

The Athletics acquired Morris from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Paul Blackburn, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Morris, 22, holds a 3.51 ERA and 95:30 K:BB over 92.1 innings between the Single- and High-A levels in 2024. The right-hander was a third-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.

The Royals traded Barnett, Will Klein and Jared Dickey to Oakland on Tuesday in exchange for Lucas Erceg, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

A third-round draft pick in 2022, Barnett has spent all of 2024 with the Royals' Double-A affiliate, making 18 appearances (17 starts) with a 4.21 ERA and a 105:35 K:BB across 87.2 innings. The right-hander figures to report to the Athletics' Double-A affiliate.
