Scott (elbow) played catch Monday and Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

It's the first bit of throwing he's done since he was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow in late July. Scott threw 35 fastballs from 75 feet Tuesday and will progress to 90 feet in his next throwing session. There's no timetable for the rookie right-hander's return, but it will take multiple weeks for him to become game-ready.

Vientos (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 24-year-old was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup against the Mariners due to left ankle soreness, and he'll sit for a second consecutive game Tuesday. According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Vientos is expected to be available off the bench and should rejoin the lineup Wednesday. Jose Iglesias will receive a start at third base and bat seventh.

Pham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Pham has one hit in his last 14 at-bats across the last four games, and he'll get the night off Tuesday to clear his head. Since being acquired by the Cardinals near the trade deadline, Pham is slashing .279/.311/.535 across 45 plate appearances.

Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

After making 10 consecutive starts at third base, Marte will get the night off Tuesday. In his place, Santiago Espinal will play third and bat ninth. Marte is slashing .179/.218/.299 across 142 plate appearances this season.

The Phillies optioned Marte to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The right-hander was recalled by Philadelphia on July 20 and will return to the minors after he surrendered seven runs across two-thirds of an inning Saturday at Arizona. Even prior to that ugly showing, Marte had a 4.63 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB across 23.1 big-league innings this season.

The Phillies activated Walker (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

The right-hander has been sidelined since late June due to inflammation in his right index finger, but he'll rejoin Philadelphia's rotation Tuesday against the Marlins. Walker made two minor-league rehab starts and threw 60 pitches over five frames in the second of those outings, so he'll likely have some minor workload limitations in his first couple starts back with the Phillies. He turns 32 years old Tuesday and has a 5.60 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 53 innings this season.

Kopech earned a hold against the Brewers on Monday, walking one batter and striking out two in a scoreless inning.

Kopech handled the eighth frame and worked around a two-out walk to keep Milwaukee off the scoreboard. He earned his fourth hold in six appearances since joining the Dodgers on July 29. Kopech has yet to allow a run over 6.1 innings with his new team, and he's surrendered just one hit while posting a 10:1 K:BB. The righty reliever has quickly become Los Angeles' top setup man, but it's unclear if he'll get any save opportunities after working as the White Sox's closer for most of the season prior to being dealt.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Yastrzemski's steal was his third of the year and first since July 24. The outfielder has hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.312/.434 slash line with nine home runs, 38 RBI and 39 runs scored across 101 contests, though he's also struggled to a 27.1 percent strikeout rate that continues to limit his upside.

Rogers (1-4) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss Monday versus Atlanta.

Rogers gave up the lone run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. He's been fairly steady since the start of July, posting a 2.63 ERA over 13.2 innings in that span, just a touch worse than his 2.25 ERA for the year. He's added a 1.19 WHIP, 56:15 K:BB and five holds over 48 innings overall. While the Giants' bullpen has been restructured after Camilo Doval was demoted to Triple-A last week, Rogers is still unlikely to see much high-leverage work, with Ryan Walker just named the closer and Tyler Rogers and Jordan Hicks slotting in as the preferred setup men.

The Dodgers announced Tuesday that Ryan (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old suffered a torn UCL in his forearm during Saturday's start against the Pirates and will miss the rest of the season, and likely all of 2025. Ryan received his first taste of the majors this summer and posted a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 20.1 innings. It's unclear when exactly he'll undergo the procedure, but he likely won't be back to full strength until spring training in 2026.
