Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

Riley hit his 12th home run of the season, pushing him into sole possession of second place on the team. It was nice to see the pop return to the 28-year-old's bat, as Friday's homer was his first extra-base hit in nine games. However, the strikeout numbers remain most concerning with Riley, who has now struck out at least once in nine straight games and 15 times total over that stretch. His strikeout rate sits at 28.7 percent for the season.

Manaea (oblique) struck out seven over 5.1 innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, allowing one earned run on two hits without walking a batter.

In his first rehab appearance for Syracuse, Manaea piggybacked starter Brandon Sproat and got stretched out to 62 pitches (45 strikes). The performance was a marked improvement on Manaea's first few rehab starts at High-A Brooklyn, as he gave up seven runs in 6.2 innings with an 8:3 K:BB. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need at least one more rehab outing to push his pitch count a little higher, but he appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 debut with the Mets at the beginning of July.

The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

As expected, Suwinski was returned to the minors after a one-day stint in the big leagues as the Pirates' 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers. He was used in both contests of the twin bill, going 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base on the day.

The Cubs recalled Pearson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Since being optioned to Triple-A in mid-April, Pearson has turned in a 2.22 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 24.1 innings. His turnaround will buy him another shot in the Cubs' bullpen, where he will replace Genesis Cabrera, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will come up from the minors to handle bulk-relief duties against the Cardinals on Saturday after opener Brent Suter exits the game. Petty has given up 13 runs through 5.1 innings in his big-league career thus far, though he owns a 2.76 ERA across 45.2 frames at Louisville.

The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday

Mey gave up one run in 1.1 innings during his outing Thursday, and he'll now be sent back to the minors in favor of Chase Petty. Mey owns a 4.40 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 14.1 frames in the big leagues this season and will likely be back with the Reds down the line.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Royals.

The veteran infielder was also caught stealing for the first time in 2025, but Bogaerts reached base four times for the second straight contest as he catches fire in June. Over the last 10 games, he's slashing .326/.333/.488 with four doubles, a homer, seven runs and seven RBI.

Pivetta didn't factor into the decision Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a 6-5 loss to the Royals. He struck out three.

Four of the six hits off Pivetta went for extra bases, including a solo shot by Bobby Witt in the first inning and a three-run blast by Jonathan India in the fifth that helped chase the right-hander from the game. Pivetta's homeritis is returning with a vengeance as the weather begins to warm up, and over his last 10 starts and 54 innings he's been taken deep 10 times, fueling a 5.00 ERA despite a 1.26 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB. He'll try to keep the ball in the park in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Nationals.

Hays (foot) is expected to hit on the field Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Hays ran arcs in the outfield for a second straight day Friday as part of a running progression. After hitting Saturday, the next step will be to run the bases Sunday.

Marte (oblique) started at third base and went 2-for-3 with two RBI Friday in a rehab game in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Marte played seven innings in what was his first game action since landing on the 10-day injured list in early May. He'll stick around in Arizona through the weekend before shifting his rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville next week, according to MLB.com.
