Falter (2-3) earned the win against Atlanta on Friday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings.

After yielding three baserunners in the first two innings, Falter proceeded to face the minimum in three of the next four en route to his second scoreless outing of the year. He hasn't generated a ton of whiffs or strikeouts this season, but the 28-year-old southpaw has allowed three earned runs or fewer in six of eight starts and has a 4.36 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 43.1 innings this season. Falter's next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Mets.

The Reds transferred Callihan (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Callihan isn't expected to rejoin the Reds until after the All-Star break after fracturing his left forearm Monday. This transaction opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Connor Joe, who was acquired Friday in a trade with the Padres.

The Reds traded Moore to the Padres on Friday in exchange for Connor Joe.

Moore, 25, has spent the entire season at Double-A Chattanooga, where he owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.34 WHIP alongside a 12:8 K:BB through 8.2 innings. He'll presumably report to Double-A San Antonio now that he's in the Padres organization and look to make a push toward Triple-A El Paso.

The Padres traded Joe to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Andrew Moore and cash.

San Diego sent Joe back to Triple-A on Saturday after he went 0-for-9 with a walk in seven games with the Padres. He's performed better in the minors, however, logging a .755 OPS through 74 plate appearances at El Paso. He'll likely remain in the minors upon joining his new organization, though he could be recalled to Cincinnati if Jake Fraley's calf injury forces him onto the injured list. Tyler Callihan (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Edman (ankle) has experienced discomfort when running in a straight line, but he is scheduled to participate in live at-bats next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Edman is working through a right ankle injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list April 30. He isn't recovering as quickly as once hoped, and it appears he'll remain on the IL beyond this weekend's road series against Arizona. Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas should continue to see additional work at the keystone for as long as Edman is sidelined.

Fraley has been scratched from Friday's lineup against Houston due to calf soreness, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Fraley was initially slated to return from a two-game absence due to a left calf injury that he suffered Tuesday, but it appears the issue is still bothering the 29-year-old outfielder. Rece Hinds will take Fraley's place in right field and bat eighth.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Phillips will be shut down from throwing for two weeks after MRI results revealed inflammation in his right elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Phillips landed on the injured list Wednesday due to discomfort in his forearm, and it now seems like he's due for another extended stay on the IL after being sidelined for the first month of the year due to an injured shoulder. A timeline for the 30-year-old's return may emerge once he's cleared to begin throwing.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Peralta (groin) is scheduled to start against the Guardians on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peralta tweaked his groin near the end of his last start against the Cubs this past Sunday. He was able to throw a bullpen session Friday without issue, and the 28-year-old right-hander is on track to take the hill for the Brewers on Monday while Chad Patrick gets the start against the Rays on Sunday. Peralta is 4-2 in eight starts with a 2.18 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across 45.1 innings.

Weathers (forearm) is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

It will be Weathers' 2025 debut after he suffered a strained forearm during spring training. He's made three rehab starts while on the 15-day injured list, registering a 1.69 ERA and 13:4 K:BB across 10.2 innings. Weathers threw just 57 pitches in his latest rehab start, so it's likely he won't be fully stretched out Wednesday.

Manaea (oblique) played catch from 120 feet Friday and is soon expected to start throwing off a mound, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

The left-hander restarted his throwing program in mid-April after receiving a PRP injection to address lingering problems with his strained right oblique, and he's now starting to ramp up in his progression. Manaea will still require a considerable buildup period and a lengthy rehab assignment, but it seems like he could make his season debut before the end of June.
