Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Nationals. He also stole two bases.

That's now two straight games with multiple stolen bases for Crow-Armstrong, and he has five steals in his last three contests to get to 21 for the season through 60 games. The stolen bases alone make the 23-year-old valuable, but he also has 15 home runs and an .881 OPS, which has made him one of the top performers across all fantasy formats so far in 2025.

Busch went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run, an additional run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.

Busch was the only Chicago player with multiple hits as he powered the lineup from the No. 5 spot. The infielder is now riding a modest five-game hitting streak, and he's been good all season with nine home runs, 36 RBI and an .895 OPS through 56 games. The OPS would easily be a new career best for the 27-year-old.

Manager Terry Francona said that Greene was pulled from his start during Tuesday's win over the Brewers due to a flare-up of his groin injury, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Greene managed to last five innings Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters. He spent time on the injured list in May due to a groin strain, so the decision to pull him after 85 pitches was made in order to prevent him from further aggravating the injury. The 25-year-old righty will receive an MRI on Wednesday to determine if any serious damage was done. Until then, his status for his next start is unknown.

The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

Just three days after being claimed off waivers from the Angels, Robinson will find himself on the waiver wire once again as the roster casualty necessary to clear 40-man space for Jose Urena. Robinson, 30, is slashing .272/.315/.388 through 112 plate appearances in Triple-A but owns just a .364 OPS in his MLB career.

The Dodgers optioned Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

The Dodgers acquired Klein Monday in a trade with the Mariners, but the 25-year-old will now head to the minors without making an appearance for Los Angeles to make room for the newly signed Jose Urena. Klein posted a 7.40 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 20.2 innings with Seattle's Triple-A affiliate, and he'll likely need to show some improvement at Oklahoma City before getting a shot with the Dodgers.

Urena signed a one-year major-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Urena was DFA'd by Toronto on Saturday after turning in a 3.65 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 12.1 innings with the team. He opted for free agency upon clearing waivers and will now join forces with Los Angeles to help out a Dodgers bullpen that has been decimated by injuries. Will Klein was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, and Chuckie Robinson was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for Urena.

Woodruff (ankle) was removed from his rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after getting hit on the right arm by a line drive, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff first began his minor-league assignment April 12 while working his way back from October 2023 shoulder surgery, but his rehab was extended in mid-May, when he experienced right ankle tendinitis. He resumed the assignment May 21, and Tuesday's outing was expected the 32-year-old's final start in the minors before being activated for his season debut next week. However, those plans may be in jeopardy now that the concern about his health has shifted back to his arm. He's slated to receive X-rays in Milwaukee on Wednesday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, at which point the Brewers may have a clearer idea regarding his timeline to return from the 15-day injured list.

Glasnow (shoulder) downplayed the "general body soreness" mentioned by manager Dave Roberts on Monday, and the right hander said he's likely to throw another bullpen session Friday or Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow classified the body soreness as a minor back issue, which shut him down from throwing for a few days. The oft-injured 31-year-old made just five starts this season prior to landing on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. Glasnow will be eligible to be reinstated in late June, but he could be sidelined beyond that given that he'll likely require a handful of rehab games in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers.

The Giants recalled Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Hjelle has been in the minor leagues all season, turning in a 2.97 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 30.1 innings at Triple-A. With Jordan Hicks (toe) moving to the injured list, Hjelle will get another look with the Giants and figures to work in middle relief.

The Giants placed Hicks on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right toe inflammation, retroactive to Monday.

Hicks has given up two earned runs in 3.1 innings since moving to the bullpen, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next two weeks due to his toe. Sean Hjelle was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the open spot on the Giants' pitching staff.
