The Mets recalled Megill from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his start Saturday versus Atlanta.

With Christian Scott set to miss some time due to an elbow injury, Megill will now return to the majors in order to fill the opening in New York's rotation. The 28-year-old allowed 12 earned runs in 13.1 innings across his last three starts in the big leagues, but he has improved since moving to Triple-A (4.05 ERA in 13.1 IP) and will match up with an Atlanta offense that ranks 21st in MLB with 428 runs scored on the year. Kodai Senga (calf) was placed on the 15-day injured list.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, three RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

He opened the scoring on the night with a two-run double in the second inning, then played a role in the Nationals' four-run outburst in the top of the 10th by walking, stealing second and eventually coming home on Jacob Young's bases-loaded triple. Garcia continues to add to his career highs in multiple categories, including 11 homers and 15 stolen bases in 89 games to go along with a .278/.310/.441 slash line.

Vientos went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

The third baseman slugged a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the third inning, one of three Mets long balls in the frame. Vientos has put together an impressive July, slashing .293/.341/.520 over 20 games with five doubles, four homers and 13 RBI as he solidifies his hold on the starting job at the hot corner.

Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over Atlanta.

His third-inning shot off Charlie Morton capped a seven-run frame for the Mets and chased the veteran right-hander from the game. Alvarez snapped a 20-game homerless drought with the blast, a stretch in which he batted just .215 (14-for-65) with five RBI. Despite the power outage, the 22-year-old backstop has an impressive .273/.342/.448 slash line on the season in 51 contests.

Chisholm went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Brewers.

The 26-year-old has been taking his leadoff duties seriously in July. Chisholm is batting just .198 (16-for-81) on the month, but he's drawn 12 free passes in 20 games and his 12.8 percent walk rate during that time is a significant jump from his career rate of 7.7 percent. The extra opportunities on the basepaths have also translated into fantasy production -- he's gone 8-for-9 on steal attempts in July, giving Chisholm 22 stolen bases in 101 games on the season and putting him one short of matching his career high.

Bell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

He took Janson Junk deep in the ninth inning, giving the Marlins their third long ball of the game and giving Bell his third straight game with a homer and fourth straight game with multiple hits. The switch-hitting first baseman, and pending free agent, is doing what he can to improve his trade value as the deadline approaches -- over his last 13 contests he's slashing .300/.375/.620 with five home runs and nine RBI.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

The slugger took Freddy Peralta deep in the first inning, helping the Marlins jump out to a 3-0 lead they never relinquished. Burger entered July with a disappointing ,601 OPS, but his bat has heated up with the weather -- in 19 games this month he's slashing .278/.333/.569 with six of his 13 homers on the season.

The Dodgers recalled Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Feduccia has slashed .295/.420/.451 with 42 RBI across 274 plate appearances in Triple-A, and he'll now come up from the minors to give the Dodgers some additional depth behind the plate. The 27-year-old backstop doesn't have a clear path to playing time with Will Smith and Austin Barnes both still on the MLB roster, but if he's able to get into a game, it will mark his major-league debut.

Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Mets.

He drove an Eric Orze changeup over the left-field fence in the sixth inning, but Atlanta was already in an 8-2 hole at that point. Ozuna has somehow gotten even hotter at the plate in July, collecting multiple hits in nine of his last 13 games and batting .417 (20-for-48) over that stretch with six homers. The 33-year-old DH sits one long ball short of his third career 30-homer campaign, and 19 RBI shy of reaching triple digits for the third time.

Atlanta optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Hernandez will be pushed out of Atlanta's bullpen as a result of Jimmy Herget's (shoulder) return from the injured list Saturday. Hernandez allowed his first earned run of the season during Friday's loss the Mets, giving him a 0.82 ERA through 11 major-league innings.
