The Marlins optioned Mazur to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Mazur struggled during his Marlins debut with four runs allowed in 5.2 innings Wednesday, and he'll now be sent back to Triple-A with Janson Junk due to join Miami's rotation. Robinson Pina was called up from Jacksonville in a corresponding move to bolster the team's bullpen depth.

The Marlins selected Pina's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

After turning in a 3.47 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 57 innings in Triple-A, Pina will now get a chance to prove himself worthy of a place in the Marlins' bullpen, which currently owns a 4.53 ERA on the year. Adam Mazur was optioned to Jacksonville to create a spot on the active roster for Pina, and Connor Gillispie was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man.

Harper (wrist) threw and took some dry swings Thursday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It's the first time he's done any throwing or hitting since he went on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation more than two weeks ago. The plan is for Harper to throw from a greater distance and possibly hit off a tee Friday, at which point the Phillies expect to have a better idea regarding a timetable for his return.

The Mets recalled Nunez from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Nunez was one of the Mets' best relievers down the stretch last season when healthy, posting a 2.31 ERA and 48:8 K:BB over 35 innings in 2024. However, he has struggled to replicate it this year after overcoming an arm issue, particularly from a control perspective, with a combined 17 walks in 22.2 frames between Syracuse and the majors.

The Mets optioned Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Adcock made two appearances during his four-day stint in the big leagues, giving up one run and striking out five batters across 2.2 innings. Justin Hagenman and Dedniel Nunez will come up from Syracuse to replace Adcock and the injured Max Kranick (elbow).

The Mets recalled Hagenman from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Hagenman is expected to pitch in Friday's game versus the Phillies, either as a traditional starter or in a bulk-relief role. However, he will be available to pitch Thursday, if needed. The righty struck out four while yielding one run over 3.1 innings out of the bullpen for the Mets back in April in his major-league debut.

The Mets placed Kranick on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right elbow strain.

Kranick has been a strong middle-relief option for the Mets this season, turning in a 3.65 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 37 innings out of the bullpen. However, he'll be unavailable for the remainder of the month while he tends to his injured elbow. With the Mets also sending Ty Adcock back to Triple-A Syracuse, New York called up Justin Hagenman and Dedniel Nunez from the minors to fill the two open spots on the pitching staff.

Darvish (elbow) is scheduled to throw another simulated game Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

The upcoming sim game will be Darvish's second in just under a week, as he previously threw approximately 40 pitches against live hitters Saturday. If all goes well during Friday's throwing session, Darvish could then be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment next week. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season due to elbow inflammation, but he looks like he could be ready to make his 2025 debut with the Padres at some point in late June or early July.

Atlanta will call up Fuentes from Triple-A Gwinnett to make his major-league debut Friday with a start on the road versus Miami, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Fuentes turned 20 years old Tuesday and has made only one start at the Triple-A level, but Atlanta will give him a spot start as they give their regular rotation members some extra rest. The young right-hander has made nine starts across three levels in 2025, collecting a 4.81 ERA and 48:12 K:BB over 39.1 innings. Fuentes boasts a 2.41 ERA and 23:4 K:BB over 18.2 frames covering his last four trips to the hill.

Padres manager Mike Shildt implied Wednesday that King (shoulder) will remain on the 15-day injured list for the rest of the first half, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. "I think that's pretty accurate," Shildt said, when asked if King would be out through the All-Star break. "I don't think we can begin to put a date on it. ... As we all know, the further away he is from it, the longer it takes to get back."

Since being placed on the IL on May 25 due to a pinched nerve in his right shoulder area, King has shown only marginal improvement. Shildt said that at this stage, King remains limited to light throwing with plyometric balls and occasionally with baseballs, but he doesn't appear especially close to resuming mound work. A clear timeline for King's return from the IL likely won't emerge until he's further along in his throwing progression.
