The Marlins optioned Pereda to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was called up by the Marlins but will return to Triple-A now that Christian Bethancourt is back from the bereavement list. Pereda is 0-for-5 in his five big-league games this season but has an .804 OPS in 83 plate appearances for Jacksonville.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia started the previous four games but will sit Tuesday as lefty David Peterson takes the mound for the Mets. Ildemaro Vargas will start at the keystone and bat fifth.

The Marlins outrighted Go to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Go was designated for assignment last week and after clearing waivers, he'll stick around in the Marlins organization at Jacksonville. The 25-year-old owns a 3.00 ERA in nine innings with Jacksonville and has yet to make his MLB debut.

Bethancourt was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday.

As planned, Bethancourt rejoins the Marlins after a three-game absence. Jhonny Pereda will be sent back to Triple-A Jacksonville. Bethancourt is slashing .162/.208/.250 while splitting catching duties with Nick Fortes.

Young (hand) will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

Young missed two starts with swelling in his right hand but is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday against left-hander David Peterson and the Mets. The speedy Young is tied for fourth in baseball this season with 17 stolen bases.

Abrams (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The 23-year-old hasn't seen the field since Friday due to the shoulder issue but is back atop the lineup Tuesday for Washington. Abrams will look to get back on track now that he's healthy, as he went 0-for-14 with eight strikeouts in the three games preceding his absence.

McNeil is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

The lefty-hitting McNeil will once again give way to Jose Iglesias at second base with a left-handed pitcher (DJ Herz) on the mound for the opposition. Iglesias will bat eighth in place of McNeil, who should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at the keystone when the Mets oppose right-handers.

Pages is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh.

Pages will get the day off Tuesday after making seven consecutive starts in center field. Instead, Chris Taylor will bat ninth and play center.

The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Memphis in late May but is now back with the big-league club. Roycroft has given up four earned runs in six innings for the Cardinals this season but has a 0.98 ERA over 14 outings at Triple-A.

Grandal is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Grandal hasn't generated multiple hits in a game since May 17 and has two hits in his last 20 at-bats. Henry Davis will bat eighth and catch for Jared Jones.
