  • Adael Amador 2B | COL

  • Kevin Ginkel RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Reinstated from injured list

    The Diamondbacks activated Ginkel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Ginkel has been sidelined for the first month of the season due to shoulder inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks after a two-outing rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno. The right-hander recorded five saves and 18 holds with a 3.21 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB across 70 innings last season and should fill a high-leverage role again in 2025. Justin Martinez and Shelby Miller are likely to remain the favorite for saves initially, but Ginkel could see some chances with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list.

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Out of lineup versus left-hander

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    It's southpaw Shota Imanaga on the bump for the Cubs, so the left-handed-hitting Frazier will grab a seat. Jared Triolo will play second base and bat eighth for the Pirates.

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Transferred to 60-day IL

    The Mets transferred Manaea (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Mets' Jose Urena: DFA'd by New York

    Urena was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    The Mets removed Urena from the 40-man roster in order to recall Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse. Urena tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Nationals and allowed seven hits, including a pair of homers, and five earned runs in the Mets' 19-5 win. Despite the rough outing, Urena was credited with the save.

  • Kevin Herget RP | NYM

    Mets' Kevin Herget: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Mets recalled Herget from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    In a corresponding move, New York designated Jose Urena for assignment. Herget appeared in seven regular-season games out of the bullpen for the Brewers last season, registering a 1.59 ERA and 9:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings.
