The Reds recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

After being added to the Reds' 40-man roster over the winter, Rodriguez has continued to impress with his slugging at Louisville this season. The 22-year-old has slashed .274/.347/.533 with 27 home runs -- second in the International League -- and six stolen bases across 104 games at Triple-A. With the Reds dealing away Nathaniel Lowe prior to Monday's deadline, the team has an opening in its everyday lineup, and the left-handed-hitting Rodriguez appears primed to get a look in the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter or at either corner-outfield spot.

The Marlins selected Ralston's contract on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Ralston earned a spot on the 40-man roster after posting a 1.31 ERA and 70:26 K:BB over 55 frames. The 28-year-old will remain in Jacksonville for now, but he could get an opportunity with the big club before the end of the season.

The Mets activated Nunez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The Mets traded away most of their bullpen at the deadline aside from closer Devin Williams, so Nunez could be thrust into a high-leverage role right away. The 30-year-old right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2025 and has looked good on his rehab assignment, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse. In his most recent appearance Saturday, he appeared to be comfortably sitting around 96 mph with his fastball.

The Marlins optioned Fulton to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Fulton is clearing off the roster to make room for the Marlins' trade-deadline acquisitions. The lefty has allowed seven runs with a 12:10 K:BB over 14 innings at the big-league level this season.

The Marlins will recall Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's contest in Atlanta, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Ramirez was sent down to Jacksonville in early May after slashing only .230/.318/.345 with two home runs in his first 31 contests. He's been better at Jacksonville, though a .254/.332/.427 batting line wasn't exactly forcing the Marlins' hand. Ramirez has not played a position other than catcher this season, and with Joe Mack slated to continue serving as the Marlins' primary backstop, it's unclear how much playing time Ramirez will receive.

Walston (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Walston is finally rehab to pitch in official games following a long rehab from Tommy John surgery. The left-hander has a chance to contribute for the Diamondbacks in September, though he's not a given to rejoin the major-league roster once his rehab assignment concludes.

Jameson (hip) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session recently and will progress to a simulated game Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Right hip inflammation has kept Jameson out of commission for the past two weeks, but he's progressing well. A rehab assignment looks to be right around the corner, with a return to the Diamondbacks not long after that if he continues on his current trajectory.

Gurriel (adductor) hopes to gain clearance to increase baseball activities at a follow-up appointment Wednesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Gurriel landed on the 10-day injured list just after the All-Star break with a strained right adductor. He's been doing light activities, but a timetable for his return to action will not become apparent until he ramps things up. With Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) likely to beat Gurriel back from the IL and Lars Nootbaar being acquired via trade, it's unclear that Gurriel's role will look like upon his return.

Troy (shoulder) is likely to participate in extended spring training games this week, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

If that goes well, Troy should be cleared for a formal rehab assignment soon. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since mid-July as he battles his way back from a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder. Troy should be back with the Diamondbacks before the end of August if all goes well.

Lawlar (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Lawlar will play back-to-back rehab games Tuesday and Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine the next steps for the outfielder. Considering Lawlar has been sidelined since late June with a strained right hamstring, he is likely to require a handful of rehab contests before being reinstated.
