Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Making another rehab start
Garrett (shoulder) will make a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Jacksonville before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.comreports.
Garrett has spent all season on the shelf while recovering from a left shoulder impingement, and while he hasn't experienced any setbacks in his recovery from that injury, he did experience a case of "dead arm" following an April 15 bullpen session. The issue prompted the Marlins to temporarily pause Garrett's rehab assignment before he returned to action last Friday for Triple-A Jacksonville and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four over three innings. Garrett tossed 59 pitches in that outing, so the Marlins will likely want him to get stretched out to around 75 pitches before inserting him into the big-league rotation.

Lucas Gilbreath RP | COL
Rockies' Lucas Gilbreath: Departs 40-man roster
The Rockies transferred Gilbreath (elbow/shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Gilbreath had seemed close to completing the long road back from Tommy John surgery, but now he's developed a shoulder issue. It's not clear how long he might be out, but he won't be eligible to return until late May.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Added to big-league roster
The Rockies selected Beck's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Beck, 23, has slashed .307/.405/.594 with five home runs and five stolen bases over 121 plate appearances this season with Albuquerque. He has swing-and-miss concerns, but Beck's raw power should certainly play well at Coors Field if he can make enough contact. Beck should receive regular playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Nolan Jones LF | SEA
Rockies' Nolan Jones: Moves to injured list
The Rockies placed Jones on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 29, with a low-back strain.
The 25-year-old was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after his back injury flared up, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next week and a half after being diagnosed with a strain. Prospect Jordan Beck was promoted in a corresponding move and should see most of the reps in left field while Jones is sidelined.

Sixto Sanchez SP | MIA
Marlins' Sixto Sanchez: Draws opener assignment
Sanchez is slated to serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Miami, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez will be making his second straight appearance as an opener after working a season-high 2.2 innings while allowing three earned runs on five hits and one walk in a no-decision against Atlanta last Wednesday. He draws a less challenging assignment Tuesday, but Sanchez is still unlikely to be called upon to cover more than three or four innings before he turns the game over to the bullpen. The Marlins don't have an obvious candidate in their bullpen to piggyback Sanchez, making it difficult to target any Miami pitcher as a streaming option for Tuesday.

Drew Rom RP | ATH
Cardinals' Drew Rom: Moved to 60-day IL
The Cardinals transferred Rom (biceps) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Rom has had trouble getting over the hump with his left biceps injury and is scheduled to be examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday. He now cannot be activated until late May.

Mike Siani CF | BAL
Cardinals' Mike Siani: Sitting out first game
Siani is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Detroit.
He had started eight straight games in center field after Victor Scott was sent down but will yield to Lars Nootbaar for this one. Siani will likely be back in center field for the second game Tuesday.

Cade Horton P | CHC
Cubs' Cade Horton: Moving up to Triple-A
Horton has been promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.
Horton threw only 16.1 frames across four starts with Tennessee but was dominant in those innings, posting a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB. The top prospect is coming off a 2023 campaign which saw him collect a 2.65 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 117:27 K:BB over 88.1 innings. Horton is likely to push to debut for the Cubs in 2024.
