The Padres optioned Vasquez to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Vasquez was recalled from El Paso on Thursday and worked 3.2 innings in bulk relief against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits with four strikeouts while taking the loss. The Padres have elected to return him to the minors one day later in order to make room on the 26-man roster for reliever Ron Marinaccio. Though Vasquez has pitched to an uninspiring 3.96 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 111.1 big-league frames on the campaign, there's a good chance he'll be back up with San Diego at some point before the end of the season, especially if additional injuries hit the rotation. Michael King is already on the IL due to left knee inflammation, and it's unclear who will slide into his starting role now that Vasquez is in El Paso.

The Brewers placed Hall on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a strained right oblique.

Hall threw 2.2 innings of relief during Friday's win, and it appears as though he picked up an oblique injury during the contest. The 26-year-old has been relied upon as a bulk reliever in 2025, throwing 37.2 innings in 19 appearances on his way to a 3.35 ERA. Grant Anderson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Marinaccio will replace Randy Vasquez on the active roster Saturday to provide a fresh arm in the San Diego bullpen. Marinaccio has tallied a 4.91 ERA across 40.1 innings in El Paso this season.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Stephenson will get a breather after catching both of the last two games. He'll yield to Jose Trevino behind the dish. Stephenson has a .706 OPS on the year.

Hays is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Hays will take a seat for Saturday's contest, as Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte fill the outfield from left to right. Hays had started in each of the Reds' last three games, going 3-for-19 with three runs scored and two RBI.

Stowers is out of Saturday's lineup as a precaution due to left side tightness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Stowers is dealing with a minor side injury, and the Marlins are opting to play it safe with the left fielder by giving him the afternoon off. Heriberto Hernandez will hold down left field while Stowers is out. Stowers is slashing .288/.368/.544 in 457 plate appearances this season.

Bohm (ribs) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Bohm started a rehab assignment last week and played in five games, going 3-for-21 (.143) with a homer and a triple. The third baseman is feeling well enough to rejoin the active roster for Sunday's series finale against Washington. His return will likely mean fewer at-bats for Edmundo Sosa and Otto Kemp.

Atlanta outrighted Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Daniel lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster but remains in the organization after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old has started in 16 of 17 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 5.20 ERA and 71:37 K:BB across 83 innings.

Donovan (foot) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Donovan was scratched from Friday's lineup with a foot injury, and he'll be sidelined once again Saturday. It's unclear if his absence is due to the injury or simply to avoid a same-hand matchup against southpaw Max Fried. Thomas Saggese will draw another start at second base.

Contreras (foot) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Contreras will miss a third consecutive game since suffering a bruised foot on a hit-by-pitch Tuesday. His absence will allow Alec Burleson to draw another start at first base.
