Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

With southpaw Cody Bradford set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Connor Joe will cover first base for the Pirates instead while batting fourth.

The Nationals promoted Stuart from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Stuart will join the Triple-A rotation as a replacement for Brad Lord (hand), who was placed on the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old right-hander earned the bump to Rochester based on merit, as he had logged a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 21.2 innings over his four starts with Harrisburg since joining the Washington organization after being acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline.

D'Arnaud is still feeling pain in his wrist and is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

D'Arnaud was hit by a pitch in the wrist Saturday and was held out of Sunday's game due to the issue. While he carries a day-to-day designation, the catcher is still experiencing soreness. Sean Murphy will be behind the dish and bat fifth Tuesday.

Manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Holmes will move to the bullpen to fill a multi-inning role, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

Holmes had made four consecutive starts for Atlanta, going 1-0 with a 4.57 ERA and a 26:5 K:BB across 21.2 innings. However, with Reynaldo Lopez healthy, Holmes will shift into the bullpen. In 10 relief appearances, Holmes has logged a 2.70 ERA across 23.1 innings.

The MRI on Law's right elbow revealed only ulnar nerve irritation, but he hasn't been cleared to throw yet, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Law was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a strained right elbow, and Tuesday's MRI confirmed he isn't dealing with any structural damage. The 33-year-old took part in fielding drills Tuesday but hasn't been cleared to throw. A timeline for his return hasn't been announced.

Brogdon (foot) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Brogdon began a rehab assignment at Single-A on Saturday, and after throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, he'll proceed to Triple-A Oklahoma City. It's unclear how many rehab outings Brogdon will require before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Soler (hamstring) said Tuesday that he thinks he'll be ready to play in Friday's series opener with the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Soler has been sidelined since Aug. 14 due to a strained left hamstring, but Atlanta chose not to place him on the injured list, hoping for a swift recovery. He'll miss a fifth straight game Tuesday and likely at least two more contests after that, but Soler looks like he'll be ready to go over the weekend. Ramon Laureano has been serving as the primary replacement in right field in Soler's stead.

The Brewers activated Megill (back) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Megill's activation appeared imminent when Milwaukee optioned Elvis Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Monday. Megill -- who's logged 20 saves and a 2.41 ERA -- will move to a setup role now that Devin Williams is healthy.

Gonzales (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Gonzales was placed on the 10-day IL on July 28 and has been deemed ready to appear in games. The 25-year-old will likely require multiple games with Indianapolis before being cleared to rejoin the active roster. Once activated, Gonzales will likely compete with Isiah Kiner-Falefa for work at second base.

Mlodzinski (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Mlodzinski has been on the shelf since July 30 with a strained right shoulder, but he's been given the green light to pitch in games. The 25-year-old reliever appears to be on track to return before the start of September.
