The Cardinals placed Stanek on the paternity leave list Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Stanek will likely miss the entire three-game series in Atlanta before rejoining the St. Louis bullpen this weekend at Wrigley Field versus the Cubs. Ryan Fernandez (back) has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list to absorb Stanek's roster spot.

Henderson (back) will make his next minor-league rehab start Friday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

It'll be the second outing of Henderson's rehab assignment after he struck out seven while throwing 50 pitches over three scoreless frames with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Manager Pat Murphy said Monday that the right-hander is expected to come off the injured list prior to the All-Star break, which lines up Friday's outing to be his final rehab start before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

Zastryzny (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Zastryzny has yet to make an appearance for the Brewers this season due to recurring shoulder and intercostal problems. Facing hitters is a big step for the lefty, and he could be cleared for a rehab assignment if things go smoothly.

Hall (pectoral) has progressed to throwing on flat ground from 60-to-75 feet, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Hall landed on the 15-day injured list in early June with a left pec strain. The lefty was given an anti-inflammatory injection earlier this month and cleared to resume throwing after visiting the doctor last week. Hall is aiming to rejoin the active roster for the Brewers by late July.

Crow (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

It appears to be the first time Crow has faced hitters since he went down with a right flexor strain in mid-June. He should be ready for a rehab assignment soon. Crow's last appearance for the Brewers before getting hurt was in relief, but he could join the Triple-A Nashville rotation once activated from the 15-day injured list.

The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

The right-hander was called up by Cincinnati on Friday and walked three batters while recording just one out Sunday in Pittsburgh, though Brock Burke extinguished that fire to prevent any runs from scoring. Across his two stints in the majors this year, McCambley has given up three earned runs with a 4:5 K:BB across his first 4.1 big-league innings.

The Reds selected Johnson's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Johnson has put up a healthy .290/.388/.489 batting line with nine home runs, 11 stolen bases and a 26:49 BB:K over 55 games this season with Louisville. The 27-year-old has played mostly at second base and in left field in 2026, but he has experience at every position other than first base, catcher and pitcher. Johnson will be making his major-league debut if he gets into a game.

The Reds placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Myers had to be carted off the field during Monday's game versus the Brewers after he collided with the outfield wall following a terrific catch. X-rays came back negative, but Myers is still being evaluated to determine whether there's additional damage beyond a contusion. The Reds should have more on Myers' status later this week.

The Reds reinstated Pagan (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is fully recovered from the left hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list in early May, and he's now back on the active roster after making two rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. Pagan had a slow start to the campaign with a 6.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 14 innings while going 6-for-9 in save chances prior to the injury, but he should still reclaim the closer role now that he's healthy.

Bericoto went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Bericoto singled in the second inning and doubled in the fifth before coming around to score San Francisco's first run. The 24-year-old outfielder has logged at least one hit in each of his last five appearances, batting .412 with three RBI, three runs scored and two home runs in 18 plate appearances during that stretch. Overall, he's slashing .286/.306/.571 with four runs scored, four RBI and three long balls across 36 plate appearances this season.
