Smith-Shawver could be called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Colorado, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Atlanta hasn't publicized its pitching plans for Tuesday, but the team still has a hole in its rotation following Spencer Strider's (hamstring) placement on the injured list last week, and Smith-Shawver would be available to enter the big-league rotation after making his most recent start for Gwinnett last Wednesday. The 22-year-old made Atlanta's Opening Day roster after a strong spring training, but he was demoted to Gwinnett on April 13 after turning in a 4.61 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 13.2 innings over three starts. He's since made two appearances for Gwinnett and has supplied a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Atlanta claimed Anderson off waivers from the Angels on Sunday.

Anderson will make his return to the organization that drafted him in 2016 after Atlanta previously traded him to the Angels in March. He was included in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen and posted a 11.57 ERA, 2.57 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB across 9.1 innings before being dropped from the 40-man roster Wednesday. Since Anderson doesn't have minor-league options remaining, he'll report to Atlanta and will likely assume a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

The Padres transferred Hoeing (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The move makes room on the Padres' 40-man roster for David Morgan, whose contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Hoeing started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain that he had been dealing with throughout camp. He's in the midst of a throwing program, and his move to the 60-day IL means he won't be eligible to return until late May.

The Padres placed Gillaspie on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

Gillaspie appeared to suffer the injury during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, and he will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. In corresponding moves, David Morgan's contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio and Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

The Padres selected Morgan's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Sunday.

Morgan will make the jump to the majors straight from Double-A, where he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 8.2 innings while striking out 19 batters. He'll serve out of the Padres' bullpen after Logan Gillaspie (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks designated Feyereisen for assignment Sunday.

Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday after giving up three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning against the Rays on Thursday. If he's not claimed off waivers, the veteran right-hander will have the option of staying in Arizona's organization or exploring his options in free agency. The move corresponds with the Diamondbacks selecting Scott McGough's contract from Reno.

The Diamondbacks optioned Diaz to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Diaz was called up from Triple-A on Friday and made his 2025 debut against Atlanta, but he was roughed up for three runs on four hits and three walks over three innings while striking out one batter. Arizona selected Scott McGough's contract from Reno in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks selected McGough's contract from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

McGough signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks in February after Arizona declined his $4 million team option for 2025 in November. He's appeared in eight games at Triple-A, posting a 4.82 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings. The move corresponds with Yilber Diaz being optioned to Reno and J.P. Feyereisen being designated for assignment.

Moreno is not in Arizona's starting lineup against Atlanta on Sunday.

Moreno will take a breather Sunday after going 2-for-8 with one run scored and three RBI over the first two games of the series. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate and bat ninth against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach.

Amador is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Reds on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Amador will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Owen Miller starts at the keystone and bats ninth against Reds southpaw Nick Lodolo. Amador went 3-for-4 with a home run, a steal and two RBI in Saturday's loss to Cincinnati, and the 22-year-old is batting .214 over 32 plate appearances to start the season.
