Williams won't start as scheduled Tuesday versus the Tigers since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

It's already been a week since Williams made his previous start June 24, and he'll get another day of rest before likely taking the mound during Wednesday's doubleheader. The 33-year-old is looking for his first win since May 28, and he has a 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB over 24.1 innings during the winless stretch.

Pivetta's next outing will be pushed back after Tuesday's game in Philadelphia was postponed due to inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Wednesday. Pivetta will presumably draw the start in one of those games, but it's not yet clear whether it will be the matinee or nightcap.

Sanchez will have his next start pushed back after Tuesday's game versus the Padres was postponed due to inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Sanchez will start the second game of the twin bill.

The Reds recalled Moll from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Moll has made just three appearances in the majors this season, allowing four runs over two innings. He has put together four consecutive scoreless outings with Louisville and will now give manager Terry Francona a left-handed bullpen option.

The Reds optioned Phillips to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Phillips pitched two relief innings in Monday's game against the Red Sox, allowing four runs in the outing. Since he would have been unavailable for a day or two, the Reds will supplement their bullpen with a fresh arm.

The Reds optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

La Sorsa's latest stint in the big leagues lasted just one day, and he allowed two runs over 2.2 innings in a relief appearance in Boston. The Reds are replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm.

Arenado is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Arenado was lifted from Sunday's game in Cleveland with a jammed right index finger and was used at designated hitter Monday. It's not clear whether his absence from Tuesday's lineup is related to that injury or is simply a day of rest. Nolan Gorman will be at third base and bat fifth for the Cardinals.

Nootbaar (intercostal) will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Nootbaar missed the last two contests after aggravating a left intercostal injury, but he took batting practice Monday and is feeling well enough to give it a go in the second game of the series. The outfielder is slashing .227/.334/.381 with 11 home runs in 78 contests this season.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

McGee has made two appearances for the Brewers this season, yielding one run with a 4:1 K:BB over four innings. He'll give manager Pat Murphy a fresh bullpen arm.

The Brewers placed Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a ribs stress reaction, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The injury will cost Zastryzny at least the next couple weeks of action. Easton McGee has taken his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.
