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.

The Brewers selected Seigler's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Seigler is a versatile player capable of handling catcher, second base and third base. He's a switch hitter but is a much better hitter from the left side of the plate, as he posted a .975 OPS against righties as compared to a .445 OPS versus lefties this season at Nashville. The 26-year-old is also a capable baserunner, having gone 20-for-23 on stolen-base attempts over 63 games in 2025. Seigler will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

The Brewers designated Cameron for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction clears spots on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of Anthony Seigler. Cameron slashed only .195/.214/.293 in 21 games with the Brewers but could draw interest on waivers from a team in need of outfield depth.

The Nationals optioned Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Chaparro played sparingly during his three weeks with the big club, going 1-for-11 at the dish. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Paul DeJong's (orbital) return.

The Nationals activated DeJong (orbital) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

DeJong has been sidelined since mid-April due to a fractured nose and orbital bone, but he is ready to go following a 12-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. The 31-year-old had been serving as the Nationals' primary third baseman prior to getting hurt, but with Brady House now holding down that job, DeJong is likely to serve as a reserve infielder.

Goodman (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Astros.

Previous reports indicated that Goodman was likely headed to the 10-day injured list with his left hamstring injury, so it's a pleasant surprise that he's back in the lineup following a four-game absence. Goodman is in the middle of a breakout season, slashing .287/.332/.512 with 14 home runs.

Mauricio is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

Mauricio has now started two of four games since Mark Vientos returned from the 10-day injured list, and he could continue to struggle to find consistent playing time. Brett Baty is at second base and batting ninth for the Mets in Tuesday's series opener.

Manaea (oblique/elbow) will resume a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Manaea was given a cortisone shot one week ago after being diagnosed with a loose body in his pitching elbow and has been cleared to return to game action. It could be the final rehab start he makes before rejoining the Mets' rotation next week. Manaea initially went on the injured list prior to Opening Day due to an oblique strain.
