The Brewers placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Quintana experienced soreness in his pitching shoulder after his last start. While the Brewers had seemed optimistic about Quintana's ability to start this weekend on a few extra days of rest, the club has ultimately decided to put the southpaw on the IL. Quintana will be eligible for activation May 26, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready on that date. Tobias Myers has been recalled and will likely take Quintana's spot in the rotation.

Robberse is set to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Robberse missed time during the second half of last season with an elbow injury and recent imaging showed that he needs to have the elbow surgically repaired. Given the timing of the procedure, he will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year. Robberse holds a 4.96 ERA and 139:59 K:BB over 134.1 innings at the Triple-A level.

Acuna (knee) will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.

After playing just six innings for Atlanta's Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday in the first game of his rehab stint, Acuna will be jumped straight to the top level of the minors for his second. It's a strong sign the 27-year-old outfielder may not require the full 20 days before he's ready to be activated from the IL for his season debut, but so far Atlanta has been very deliberate with the superstar's recovery from June 2024 ACL surgery. A timeline for his return may not come into focus until Acuna is able to play back-to-back nine-inning games without issue.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Baldwin will start behind the plate Thursday against the Nationals and could see more playing time moving forward, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.

In his most recent start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Washington, Baldwin went 3-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season. Sean Murphy will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday, but as long as he's contributing with his bat, the rookie backstop should continue to see an equal share of the workload against right-handed pitching, although he has yet to get a start against a lefty. Through his first 25 big-league games, Baldwin is slashing .329/.382/.557 with a 6:13 BB:K.

Meckler has not played for Triple-A Sacramento since March 29.

He was placed on the 7-day injured list March 30, and then there was an erroneous transaction note on his MiLB page saying he was activated April 3, but he's still tending to the undisclosed injury six weeks after suffering it. Meckler went 3-for-6 with two walks, two steals and zero strikeouts in two games before getting hurt.

Moreno is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

Moreno caught both of the first two games of the series but will get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon contest. Jose Herrera will do the catching and bat ninth for the Diamondbacks.

Single-A Fredericksburg reinstated Sykora (hip) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Sykora made two rehab starts in the rookie-level Florida Complex League after recovering from hip labrum surgery, permitting just one run with a 14:1 K:BB over five innings. The 21-year-old has some of the best upside of any pitching prospect in the minors and will make his 2025 debut for Fredericksburg on Wednesday.

Petty is listed as the Reds' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Guardians in Cincinnati.

After being called up from Triple-A Louisville last weekend, Petty made his second MLB start in a 6-0 loss to the Astros on Sunday, when he was charged with four earned runs on six hits and six walks over four innings. Though he now holds a 21.94 ERA and 3.94 WHIP through his first two big-league outings, Petty will nonetheless get a second straight turn through the rotation while the Reds are short on appealing alternatives following Hunter Greene's (groin) recent move to the injured list. Rhett Lowder (forearm) has made two rehab starts and could be ready to return from the IL by the end of the month, so Petty may be at risk of losing his spot with the big club if he continues to languish Saturday and in any other starts that might follow.

Double-A Altoona placed Solometo on the 60-day injured list May 7 with a left shoulder injury.

He logged a 0.90 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 10 innings across his first two starts, but he hasn't pitched since April 12. Solometo has a deceptive delivery from the left side, which will have to make up for modest overall stuff if he is to make it as a starting pitcher.

Single-A Bradenton placed Mueth on the 7-day injured list April 13 with an undisclosed injury.

There's no official report on his injury, but Anthony Murphy of Bucs on Deck reports that Mueth threw a pitch in his April 13 start and then looked to be in pain, holding around his armpit on his throwing side, so this could end up being a serious arm injury. Mueth was charged with three earned runs without recording an out in that final appearance, and he gave up five earned runs in four innings in his first start for the Marauders, so he sits with an 18.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in four innings. The No. 67 overall pick in 2023, Mueth has big-time strikeout stuff, but he walked more batters (24) than he struck out (23) in 22.2 innings at Single-A in 2024.
