The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Gordon will start Wednesday's contest against the Cardinals at Coors Field and will have a chance to make additional turns through the rotation with the big club while German Marquez (biceps) is on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander has made three starts with Colorado this season, posting a 4.24 ERA and 10:3 K:BB over 17 frames.

The Rockies placed Marquez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right biceps tendinitis.

Marquez was removed from his latest start in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Twins due to the injury. He will be eligible to return Aug. 5, but given the nature of the injury and the Rockies' place in the standings, there's a good chance that the right-hander will be on the shelf beyond the minimum 15 days. Tanner Gordon was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and will replace Marquez in the rotation.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

The Angels are having a left-hander (Brock Burke) open the contest, and lefty Jake Eder is a candidate to cover multiple innings in relief, so the left-handed-hitting McNeil will be held out of the lineup for the day game. With McNeil on the bench, Tyrone Taylor will pick up a start in center field.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

After getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Alvarez started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series and went 2-for-6 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI and two additional runs. Luis Torrens will get the nod behind the plate for Wednesday's day game, but so long as he's swinging a hot bat, Alvarez could be in store for the bulk of the starts at catcher.

Gibson struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings Tuesday to record his fourth hold of the season in a win over the Padres.

The Marlins' bullpen has had few set roles this season as manager Clayton McCullough swaps players in and out of high-leverage duty, but Gibson seems to have worked himself into a consistent spot in the late-inning mix as the team's top left-handed reliever. All four of his holds have come in his last 10 appearances, a stretch in which Gibson has posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 10 innings.

Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Davis will get some rest for Wednesday's matinee after he started behind the plate in three of the Pirates' previous four games. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties in the series finale with Detroit.

Tucker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals.

Tucker will be getting a rare day of rest after he had started every game since June 17. Seiya Suzuki will play right field for the Cubs in the series finale, while Carson Kelly gets a day off from catching but serves as the team's designated hitter.

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Garza was recalled Tuesday and did not make an appearance during his most recent stint with the big club. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Jose Butto's (illness) return from the 15-day injured list.

Harris went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.

Both hits were singles, but it still continues an encouraging stretch for Harris that has seen him hit safely in seven of the last eight games while batting .300 (9-for-30) with two doubles and a homer. The 24-year-old has had a miserable start to the season at the plate, with his .559 OPS representing a huge drop from the .722 OPS he posted in 2024 over 110 regular-season games as well as being the worst mark in the majors this year, but per David O'Brien of The Athletic, Harris has been working on mechanical changes with his swing that might finally be paying dividends.

The Mets activated Butto (illness) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Butto has been out for all of July due to an unspecified illness but is ready to go after making three scoreless rehab appearances. The right-hander has posted a 2.47 ERA and 39:20 K:BB over 43.2 frames this season out of the Mets bullpen.
