Cincinnati placed Hayes (groin) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 27.

Hayes will return to the IL for the second time this season after previously being sidelined due to a back injury from late May to early July. Hayes has had a rough 2026 season, slashing .153/.213/.250 with five homers and eight RBI over 211 plate appearances. The Reds recalled Edwin Arroyo to replace Hayes on the active roster.

The Reds recalled Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

After spending just under a month in Louisville, Arroyo will rejoin the big-league club Friday. Over his last 15 games in Triple-A, the 23-year-old is slashing .239/.271/.239 in 48 plate appearances. The Reds sent Ke'Bryan Hayes (groin) to the injured list, opening a spot on the 26-man roster for Arroyo.

Eagen recorded 11 strikeouts while yielding two runs over 5.2 innings in a start with Double-A Springfield on Thursday.

It's the second straight double-digit strikeout effort for Eagen, who boasts a 3.38 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 31:4 K:BB over 24 innings covering four starts since joining the Cardinals organization at the trade deadline in the Lars Nootbaar deal. Eagen's ERA this season is a bit bloated at 4.61 thanks in large part to pitching in tough environments for pitchers, but a 140:38 K:BB over 111.1 frames is a better reflection of how he's pitched. The 23-year-old's 140 strikeouts rank fourth among all minor leaguers.

Cabrera (blister) has resumed a throwing program, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Cabrera will do some throwing Saturday, though this won't be the first time the righty has picked up a ball since he landed on the 15-day injured list in mid-August with a right middle finger blister. The Cubs' plan is to bring Cabrera back as a reliever, but he might require a rehab assignment before that happens.

Pitre is batting .300 (9-for-30) with two doubles, one triple, one steal and a 4:4 BB:K over eight games since being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 18.

Part of the package the Mets received from the Rays for Freddy Peralta, Pitre's elite contact skills and plate discipline have fueled a breakout campaign that saw him produce a .335/.437/.465 slash line in 47 Double-A games between Montgomery and Binghamton prior to his promotion. The 23-year-old has primarily played second base this season, but New York has another top keystone prospect racing up the ladder in Mitch Voit. Pitre's lack of power creates questions about whether his profile can survive as an everyday player in the majors a la Luis Arraez, or whether he'll eventually have to settle for a utility role.

Tong's recent turnaround with Triple-A Syracuse has made him a candidate to replace Robert Stock in the Mets' rotation when rosters expand in September, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Tong has struggled this season to maintain his extreme over-the-top arm angle while incorporating new pitches into his arsenal, primarily a cutter, but the 23-year-old right-hander may have finally figured things out. He's allowed one run or fewer in five of his last six starts for Syracuse, posting a 2.48 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB over 29 innings during that stretch. Stock will stay on turn Monday -- the final day of August -- for a road start against the Rays, but if Tong maintains or even improves on his current form when he takes the mound Saturday at Triple-A, his next start will likely come in the big leagues.

Suarez (elbow) could begin throwing off a mound Monday, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander threw on flat ground from 120 feet Thursday as he continues to recover from elbow inflammation. Suarez last pitched for Atlanta on June 19, so activation from the IL isn't imminent, but if he avoids any setbacks he could still boost the team's playoff push sometime in September.

Walker allowed two hits while striking out one in a scoreless inning during Thursday's 6-1 win over Arizona.

Walker struggled during his previous stint in the big leagues, but he was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday and hasn't surrendered a run in any of his three appearances since. The 30-year-old right-hander has allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three in 3.2 innings over that three-game stretch. Overall, he owns a 6.60 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB across 30 innings with San Francisco this season.

The Cubs activated Shaw (hand) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

A sprained left hand has kept Shaw sidelined since late June, but the 24-year-old has been cleared to return after going 10-for-33 with two doubles and two stolen bases in nine rehab games at Triple-A Iowa. Shaw will contend primarily with Michael Conforto and Pedro Ramirez for playing time, but as the only purely right-handed hitter of the group (Ramirez is a switch hitter) he could be relegated to reps versus lefties.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Pereira (hand) is "making progress" and is "in a good spot," Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Pereira landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hand contusion. While the Cardinals have not revealed a timeline for the outfielder's return to the active roster, Pereira's absence is likely to be relatively brief.
