Martin was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Martin made one appearance after being recalled July 29, but he will head back to the minors for the time being. Having already been called up several times already this season, Martin could be back with the big club before the campaign comes to a close.

Skubal was diagnosed with left forearm inflammation Tuesday and is expected to miss at least one turn through Detroit's starting rotation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The left-hander exited Monday's start with left arm fatigue after five scoreless innings, and it now appears he could be headed to the injured list. Skubal has been a bright spot for the Tigers this year with a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:32 K:BB over 117.2 innings, and the team is likely to exercise significant caution since he's dealing with a forearm injury.

Suarez will start Tuesday's game against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The left-hander last started July 26 against the Royals, and he'll take the mound again Tuesday after previously scheduled starter Noah Syndergaard was traded to the Phillies. Suarez has a 5.01 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB across 50.1 innings this season.

Manning (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Tuesday.

It was reported last week that Manning would rejoin the Tigers on Tuesday, and he will indeed do just that. He will jump right back into Detroit's rotation and take the ball Tuesday night against the Twins.

Frasso was traded from the Blue Jays to the Dodgers on Tuesday along with Moises Brito in exchange for Mitch White and Alex De Jesus, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Frasso is an emerging pitcher with upside, having logged a 0.74 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 57:10 K:BB in 36.2 innings over 10 appearances between Single-A and High-A. The Dodgers seemingly targeted Frasso, 23, in this deal, and his stock could continue to climb once he is pitching at more age-appropriate levels.

The Cardinals acquired Montgomery on Tuesday in exchange for Harrison Bader (foot), Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Montgomery had been a fixture in New York's rotation, but the team decided that adding a defense-first center fielder in Bader was the greater priority heading into the stretch run of the season. As for St. Louis, the addition of the experienced southpaw will bolster a rotation that has been hit by injuries, and his numbers could be even better while he makes the move from the AL East to the NL Central. Montgomery submitted a 3.69 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 97 in 114.2 innings with New York prior to the trade.

Philadelphia acquired Syndergaard from the Angels on Tuesday in exchange for outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jadiel Sanchez, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The Phillies didn't leave themselves much time, but they wound up adding a starting pitcher right before the 6 p.m. ET deadline to complete trades. Syndergaard has seen his strikeout rate crater this season, but he's punched out 24 batters -- while posting a 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP -- in 21.2 innings over his last four starts, so he seems to be getting back on track a bit in that regard.

Pfaadt was promoted from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

One of Arizona's best pitching prospects, Pfaadt had a 4.99 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 82:9 K:BB in 57.2 innings over his last 10 starts while pitching in hitter-friendly conditions. The conditions won't get any better in the Pacific Coast League. Pfaadt's 3.65 xFIP at Double-A is a more indicative mark as to how well he did at that level. He could join the big-league rotation early next year.

Henry will be called up from Triple-A Reno to start Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The Diamondbacks needed to add a starter to their rotation, and they decided to go with Henry, who posted a 3.83 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 20 starts with Triple-A this season. Henry tossed a total of 24.2 innings over his last four Triple-A starts, so he shouldn't be on a strict pitch count in his big-league debut.

The Padres acquired Groome from the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Eric Hosmer, Max Ferguson and Corey Rosier, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The Padres will pay the majority of the money owed to Hosmer and in return they will get Groome back in the deal. Once a big-name prospect after being seen as perhaps the top prep pitcher in the 2016 Draft class, Groome has dealt with injuries and diminished stuff since his days as an amateur. He could still make the big leagues as a back-end starter or swingman. Groome has a 2.87 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 57:30 K:BB in 53.1 innings over his last 10 starts split between Double-A and Triple-A.
