Atlanta claimed Herget off waivers from the Mets on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Mets designated Herget for assignment Thursday, and the veteran reliever will get a fresh start with Atlanta. Herget yielded one run in two innings during his lone MLB appearance in 2025, and he logged a 2.87 ERA in 15.2 innings for Triple-A Syracuse.

Martinez is working his way back from right shoulder inflammation and is nearing a return. A report Sunday indicated he'd rejoin the team either for the start of a series against the Dodgers on Monday or for a weekend set against St. Louis beginning Friday. With Martinez throwing an inning for Reno on Tuesday, it's expected he'll rejoin the big-league club ahead of its series against the Cardinals.

Woodruff (ankle) threw multiple simulated innings during a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

He tested the ankle Sunday by throwing and doing fielding drills, and he's expected to begin a new rehab assignment Wednesday. Manager Pat Murphy said he expects Woodruff to make at least two rehab starts before being activated from the injured list.

Muncy isn't part of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Dodgers designated Chris Taylor for assignment in a corresponding move.

Matos (shoulder) will bat sixth and play right field Sunday against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Matos was scratched from Friday's lineup due to discomfort in his right shoulder and didn't appear in Saturday's 1-0 win over the A's. However, he's back in the starting nine for the series finale. Matos is slashing .167/.219/.350 in 64 plate appearances this season.
