Mauricio is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

He'll likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but Mauricio will begin the matinee on the bench. The Mets will roll with Brett Baty at second base.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Devers lined a double to right field in the third inning after going hitless in the club's previous three games. The 28-year-old has experienced a dip in production over 14 games since being traded to San Francisco, slashing .204/.306/.370 with five RBI, four runs scored, three doubles, two home runs and an 8:23 BB:K in 62 plate appearances. Overall, he has a .261/.386/.482 slash line with 63 RBI, 51 runs scored, 17 homers and one stolen base across 396 plate appearances between Boston and San Francisco.

Lee (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up three runs on two hits and a walk over one-third of an inning as Atlanta fell 4-0 to the Angels.

Entering a scoreless tie in the top of the eighth inning, Lee sandwiched a walk to Taylor Ward between doubles by Mike Trout and Jo Adell to allow the game's first run to score, and after the southpaw got the hook he had to watch Enyel De Los Santos let both inherited runners cross the plate. The earned runs were the first on Lee's ledger since May 25, and while he's worked his way into the saves mix thanks to his 2.37 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through 38 innings on the season, Tuesday's usage indicates he's still viewed as more of a high-leverage option than a pure ninth-inning closer.

Lucchesi threw a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three.

Lucchesi retired the first two batters he faced before issuing a walk and surrendering a single. However, he escaped the inning after recording his season-high third strikeout, and he threw 13 of his 21 pitches for strikes. The left-hander has appeared in six games in the 2025 campaign, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB across six innings.

The Mets appointed Warren from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers. He'll be available for the second game of the twin bill.

Warren has been recalled from the minors for the fourth time this season but is expected to be in line for another abbreviated stay with the big club. He's made just two appearances out of the New York bullpen, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out three batters.

The Nationals appointed Lara from Triple-A Rochester to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Lara will be available out of the bullpen for both games of the twin bill and will be making his MLB debut if he ends up being used in either contest. The 22-year-old righty has been serving as a starter between stops at Rochester, Double-A Harrisburg and High-A Wilmington this season, accruing a 7.71 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB in 30.1 innings.

The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Johnson will serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres. He has made one relief appearance with the big club this season, allowing one run over two innings. Johnson is likely to be sent back to Lehigh Valley following the twin bill.

The Dodgers could recall Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start or pitch in bulk relief in Sunday's game against the Astros in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Dave Roberts has yet to fully confirm the Dodgers' pitching plans for the three-game series with Houston beyond noting that Shohei Ohtani is in line to open Saturday's game and is expected to be followed by Justin Wrobleski in bulk relief, per Plunkett. Ben Casparius is expected to pitch either as a starter or bulk reliever in Friday's series opener, and since Yoshinobu Yamamoto won't be asked to pitch on four days' rest Sunday, the Dodgers will have to break in a new member of the rotation that day. Sheehan looks to be the most logical option to fill the void, after he pitched well in his 2025 debut with the Dodgers on June 18 versus the Padres, striking out six and allowing one earned run over four innings. The Dodgers optioned Sheehan to Triple-A after that start, and he went on to strike out 13 batters over six perfect innings for Oklahoma City last Wednesday. Sheehan was much less sharp for Oklahoma City on Tuesday -- he gave up four earned runs on six hits and one walk over 2.1 innings -- but because he threw only 59 pitches, he should be capable of giving the Dodgers four or five innings Sunday if he gets called up.

The Phillies acquired Walton from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Walton has spent all of this season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he's slashed .222/.315/.377 with 11 home runs over 73 games. The 31-year-old can play every infield positions and also left field, giving the Phillies some experienced utility depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Bednar gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Cardinals.

The veteran closer wrapped up a combined shutout begun by Paul Skenes, but Bednar needed 20 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. His control is beginning to waver again, as he sports a 9:4 K:BB over his last six innings, but Bednar hasn't allowed an earned run since May 23 as he continues a remarkable turnaround from a rough 2024 and a demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis early in 2025. He needs four more saves to become the sixth pitcher in history to collect 100 in a Pirates uniform, but with the trade deadline looming, it's possible he gets dealt away before he reaches that milestone.
