Jack Dreyer RP | LAD
Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Opening Tuesday's contest
Dreyer will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Dreyer will draw his fourth opener assignment this season, after he previously allowed a total of four runs over 5.1 innings across his first three times opening a game. The southpaw hasn't been used out of the bullpen since last Wednesday and should be capable of giving the Dodgers anywhere between one and three innings before he exits the contest. Right-hander Matt Sauer is a good bet to serve as a bulk reliever for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Expected to sit out Tuesday
Myers (elbow) is not expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Phillies, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Myers exited Monday's 5-2 loss after being drilled in the left elbow by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, and the Marlins are hopeful Myers can avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but he will need at least one day of rest.

Jurickson Profar LF | ATL
Braves' Jurickson Profar: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
Profar (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Profar will get some at-bats at Gwinnett for the next two weeks before being reinstated from his 80-game PED suspension July 2. Atlanta has struggled to get production from its left-field position, so Profar should immediately slide back into a starting job once he returns to the active roster.

Adam Mazur P | MIA
Marlins' Adam Mazur: Expected to make start this week
Mazur has joined the Marlins in Miami and is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to make a start this week during the team's homestand, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
The Marlins do not have a starting pitcher listed for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, and Mazur would be on six days' rest that day, so he could end up slotting into the rotation for that contest. Mazur has collected a 3.62 ERA and 55:16 K:BB over 59.2 innings this season with Jacksonville. The 24-year-old has a chance to make multiple starts with the big club, although that could depend on when Max Meyer (hip) is ready to return from the injured list.

Garrett Mitchell CF | MIL
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Moving rehab up to Triple-A
Mitchell (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Nashville to continue his rehab assignment, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Mitchell struck out in both plate appearances during his lone rehab game over the weekend with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, but Milwaukee was convinced that the outfielder was ready to move his rehab assignment up to Nashville. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since late April with a left oblique strain, so he'll need a handful of rehab contests to get his timing back at the plate before the Brewers activate him from the 10-day injured list. Once activated, Mitchell should take over as Milwaukee's primary center fielder, which will allow Jackson Chourio to move back to left field.

Drue Hackenberg SP | ATL
Braves' Drue Hackenberg: Activated at Double-A
Double-A Columbus reinstated Hackenberg (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.
Hackenberg has yet to make an appearance since being activated, but he's ostensibly healthy again after missing just over a month of action with an unspecified injury. The 23-year-old righty owns a 7.03 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in 24.1 innings with Columbus on the season.

Didier Fuentes RP | ATL
Braves' Didier Fuentes: Healthy again, moves to Triple-A
Fuentes (hand) debuted for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday, covering 4.2 innings and striking out six batters while allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks.
Double-A Columbus had placed Fuentes on its 7-day injured list May 27 due to a blister on his pitching hand, but rather than reporting to a lower-level affiliate for a rehab assignment or slotting back into the Double-A rotation, the right-hander was surprisingly moved up to Gwinnett for his first start coming off the injury once he was activated Friday. The 20-year-old turned in an impressive debut for Gwinnett and has continued to elevate his standing as a prospect in 2025 after a strong showing in the Carolina League a season ago.

Zac Veen RF | COL
Rockies' Zac Veen: Returns to action in Arizona
Veen (ankle) resumed playing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Friday and has gone 2-for-7 with four walks, two runs and one RBI in three games since rejoining the lineup.
Veen hasn't played for Triple-A Albuquerque since May 22 after suffering a sore ankle, but rather than going on the 7-day injured list, he was instead assigned to the ACL for his rehab program. Now that he's been playing in games again, Veen could soon make his way back to Albuquerque. After being optioned to Triple-A following a two-week stint in the big leagues in April, Veen slashed a meager .224/.277/.342 with one home run and one steal in 19 games before going down with the ankle injury.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Making season debut Wednesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sheehan (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
As expected, Sheehan has received clearance to make his 2025 debut for the Dodgers this week after completely his recovery from May 2024 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was cleared to kick off his rehab assignment just over a year after the procedure and was sharp over his four outings in the minors, logging a 3.97 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB in 11.1 innings. In his most recent start for Triple-A Oklahoma City last Thursday, Sheehan tossed 3.1 innings and 63 pitches, so he'll likely be operating with a workload restriction Wednesday. While Sheehan should be in line for multiple turns through the Dodgers' rotation, he'll be at risk of a move to the bullpen or a demotion to Triple-A once the likes of Tyler Glasnow (shoulder), Blake Snell (shoulder), Tony Gonsolin (elbow) and Roki Sasaki (shoulder) return from the IL.
