The Padres activated Darvish (neck) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Reds.

The veteran right-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks with neck tightness, but he'll rejoin San Diego's rotation Tuesday after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Darvish posted a 4.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 23.2 innings through his first five starts of the season, and he could have some minor workload limitations in his first outing back with the Friars.

The Padres optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Cosgrove heads to the minors for the first time this season. With the Padres, he has allowed 14 earned runs across 12.0 innings in 2024. Last year, the 27-year-old posted a 1.75 ERA across 51.1 innings. The southpaw will look to regather himself in El Paso and find again what he had going last year. In a corresponding move, Yu Darvish was reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

Frelick is not in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Lefty Tyler Anderson will start on the mound for Tampa Bay, so the lefty-hitting Frelick will begin the game on the bench. In his place in left field, Joey Wiemer gets the start and will bat ninth.

The Brewers transferred Miley (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

With Miley scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery May 7 and miss the remainder of the season, his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Tyler Black, who was selected from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Miller has appeared in seven games for the Brewers this season, tallying just one hit in 12 at-bats while striking out five times. He'll be forced back to the minors following the addition of Tyler Black to the big-league squad, though Miller could return to Milwaukee if the Brewers need to call on their organizational infield depth.

Bauers is not in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Southpaw Tyler Alexander will start on the mound Tuesday for Tampa Bay, which means the lefty-hitting Bauers will begin the game on the bench. Rhys Hoskins will get the start at first base and Gary Sanchez will serve as the DH for Milwaukee. However, Bauer will have competition for playing time at first base going forward with the arrival of Tyler Black, who was promoted from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks transferred Nelson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Brandon Hughes. Nelson is receiving additional opinions on his injured left shoulder and now isn't eligible to return until late June.

The Diamondbacks selected Hughes' contract from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Hughes had a terrific rookie season with the Cubs in 2022 but has struggled since then partly due to nagging knee issues. He's healthy now, though, and earned a promotion after allowing four runs (three earned) over 14.2 frames with Reno.

The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

The move comes a day after Henry allowed two runs while failing to record a strikeout over five frames in a start against the Dodgers. Withe Ryne Nelson (elbow) due back later this week, Henry is no longer needed in Arizona's rotation.

Edwards (foot) has increased his baseball activities this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

It's been a slow recovery for Edwards as he comes back from a bacterial infection in his left foot. While there remains no timetable for his return, it does appear he's finally making some progress.
