The Giants reinstated Foley (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The right-hander is ready to make his Giants debut after missing the first few months of the season while completing his recovery from arthroscopic shoulder surgery in May of 2025. Foley recorded 28 saves with a 3.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB across 60 innings for the Tigers in 2024, but he failed to make the club's Opening Day roster last year prior to suffering the shoulder injury. He's likely to open in a low-leverage relief role for San Francisco.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The Mets will keep Young on the bench for a second straight day against another lefty starter in Payton Tolle. Eric Wagaman will serve as the first baseman once again and bat cleanup.

Bichette (leg/ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Just as interim manager Andy Green hinted would be the case, Bichette will hit the bench for the Mets' final game before the All-Star break while he contends with general leg and right ankle soreness. In Bichette's absence, Zack Short will draw a third straight start in the New York infield. Bichette walked in a pinch-hitting appearance during Saturday's 4-0 loss and should be available off the bench again Sunday, setting the stage for his likely to return to the starting nine immediately following the All-Star break.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Alvarez will receive a breather for the series finale after he started the last four games. Luis Torrens will handle catching duties Sunday as the Mets wrap up their first-half schedule.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Sunday that Lowder will rejoin the starting rotation after the All-Star break, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander was shifted to the bullpen last week after Hunter Greene was cleared to come off the injured list and will now re-enter the rotation following Nick Lodolo's (finger) placement on the injured list Sunday. Lowder -- who will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Cubs -- has pitched well in his two relief outings with just one run allowed over five frames. He posted a 5.31 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over his 13 starts.

The Mets optioned Myers to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The right-hander continues to be shuttled between Triple-A and the majors, with Sunday's transaction being the fourth time he's been optioned this season and the third time in the past two weeks. Myers had a strong start to the year with a 3.25 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across his first 15 outings, but he's now surrendered 22 runs in his past 11 appearances (10.80 ERA).

The Mets recalled Thornton from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his start against the Red Sox on Sunday.

The left-hander went back to Syracuse after delivering a quality start against the Phillies on June 26, and he'll rejoin the Mets to start the final game before the All-Star break. In addition to that outing, Thornton made one previous start in the majors this season, giving up four runs across 4.1 innings at Washington on May 20.

Friedl is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

The Reds will keep Friedl on the bench for the second time in the series against another southpaw in Matthew Boyd. Spencer Steer will step in for Friedl in center field and bat third.

The Marlins placed Kempner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow sprain.

Kempner was called upon to pitch Thursday against Seattle and Saturday versus Cleveland and struggled in both games, allowing four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 2.1 innings. He'll now be sidelined until at least July 27.

Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed slugger will head to the bench for the third time in four games, with all three of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. Conforto will give up his spot in the lineup to Kevin Alcantara, who will bat ninth as the DH.
