The Marlins optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to JT Chargois (neck), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Ramirez has been excellent out of the Marlins bullpen this season, allowing just one run with a 9:1 K:BB over 9.1 innings. He'll surely be back in the majors before long, but for now, Ramirez will report to Jacksonville.

Meneses will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Meneses had been on the bench for each of the Nationals' previous three games, but he'll get the first opportunity to enter the lineup in place of Joey Gallo (hamstring), who landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. After turning in a .722 OPS in his first full season in the big leagues in 2023, Meneses has taken a big step back thus far in 2024, slashing just .232/.292/.296 with a miniscule .064 ISO across 226 plate appearances.

Gordon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

Gordon has yet to make a start versus a left-hander this season and will begin Wednesday's game on the bench as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Bryan De La Cruz will replace Gordon in left field.

Sanchez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

With southpaw David Peterson on the hill for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Sanchez will take a seat. Dane Myers will patrol right field for the Marlins.

Nimmo is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

Nimmo has struck out eight times across his last 14 plate appearances, and he might have had a tough time bouncing back Wednesday against a left-handed starting pitcher (Braxton Garrett), so he'll be given the day off to regroup. Tyrone Taylor will replace Nimmo in left field and will bat sixth.

The Marlins activated Chargois (neck) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Chargois has been out all season with a neck issue and was pulled off his rehab assignment at one point because of a setback. He's ready to go now, though, after making eight scoreless appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville following the resumption of his rehab assignment. Chargois should eventually be used as a high-leverage reliever by Miami but could be eased into such situations.

Castro (shoulder) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

He will throw another bullpen session Friday. Castro has been shelved since late April with right shoulder inflammation but would appear to be trending toward a rehab assignment sooner rather than later.

Rodriguez (shoulder) has extended his throwing program out to 105 feet, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Rodriguez will also continue to receive imaging on his left shoulder to check his progress. The left-hander is one month into the resumption of a throwing program after he had a setback in mid-April. There remains no timetable for Rodriguez's season debut.

Solano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Though Manny Machado returned to the lineup Monday after missing four straight games with a hip flexor strain, Solano has been able to maintain a spot in the lineup while Machado remains limited to designated hitter duties. Solano will get his sixth consecutive start Wednesday, but once Machado is cleared to resume playing third base, Solano will likely move into the short side of a platoon at designated hitter with David Peralta.

Peralta is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Manny Machado remains limited to designated hitter duties after missing out on four straight starts last week due to a hip flexor strain, so the Padres won't have room in the lineup for Peralta for the third contest in a row. Once Machado is cleared to play regularly at third base again, Peralta will likely form a platoon at designated hitter with Donovan Solano.
