Jones is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

It's the second straight game that Jones' name has been absent from the lineup after he went just 3-for-17 with 10 strikeouts in his first five contests this month. Sam Hilliard is in left field for the Rockies in the series opener.

Ferris has a 3.09 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB in 23.1 innings over six starts since getting promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Aug. 2.

The 20-year-old southpaw was much more impressive through 20 starts for High-A Great Lakes, logging a 3.39 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 98.1 innings. He threw 56 innings at Single-A in 2023 before getting traded from the Cubs to the Dodgers in the offseason deal that sent Michael Busch to Chicago. Ferris has built up to 121.2 innings and doesn't turn 21 until January, so this season has been a big success. He should return to Double-A next year and has the upside to keep climbing prospect rankings.

The Marlins claimed Petersen off waivers Tuesday.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Dodgers over the weekend, and he didn't make it through much of the waiver order before being claimed. Petersen posted a 6.43 ERA in 14 innings for the Dodgers this season, though he's been dominant at the Triple-A level with a 1.64 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB over 33 frames.

The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Gordon has posted a 7.55 ERA over seven starts with the big club this season. The 26-year-old looks to be in line to serve in a long-relief role this time around.

The Rockies placed Gomber on the paternity list Tuesday.

The left-hander was expected to start in the three-games series at Detroit that begins Tuesday, but he'll instead step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Gomber could be back with the team -- and in the rotation -- for Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Gonsolin (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

It will be the right-hander's first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2023. A return for Gonsolin before the end of the season has not been ruled out, but if it happens, he would be used in a relief role. The 30-year-old posted a 4.98 ERA over 20 starts for the Dodgers in 2023 prior to surgery.

Roupp will start Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It will be the first major-league start for Roupp, who fired 61 pitches over four scoreless relief innings in his last appearance Thursday versus the Diamondbacks. The righty has split time between the rotation and bullpen this season at Triple-A Sacramento, but he hasn't gone more than four frames in any outing in the majors and minors in 2024; therefore, he'll be relatively limited from a workload perspective.

Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday that Hayes (back) has yet to resume baseball activities, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Hayes landed on the 10-day injured list more than three weeks ago with a back injury that has nagged at him for much of the season. Shelton also noted Tuesday that, as of now, offseason surgery for Hayes is not under consideration. However, the third baseman is clearly not close to returning, and at this point it's fair to wonder whether he will make it back at all this season. Jared Triolo has been operating as the Pirates' everyday third baseman since Hayes went down and will continue to hold down that spot.

The Cardinals will call up Saggese from Triple-A Memphis prior to Tuesday's game against the Reds, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

St. Louis has yet to announce corresponding transaction, but Brendan Donovan (foot) has been banged up lately and may require a stint on the injured list. Saggese had a so-so first three months with Memphis this season but has slashed .291/.351/.524 with 12 home runs over 55 games since the start of July. The 22-year-old has mostly played shortstop this season but could get regular run at second base if Donovan needs to miss some time.

Rosario started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.

Rosario, who started for the eighth time in the last nine games, is getting plenty of opportunities but doesn't hold much fantasy value. Since joining the Reds in the middle of August, Rosario is batting .205 (9-for-44) with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored. Where may be useful is in steals; the utility infielder has swiped three bags in 16 games for Cincinnati and 13 for the season.
