Nance (undisclosed) was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Jacksonville and placed on the 60-day injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Matt Moore, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Guardians on Tuesday afternoon. There is no exact diagnosis, but Nance has battled shoulder issues throughout the 2023 season and is now officially done for the year.

Fried threw a bullpen session Monday without any protective tape covering the blister on his left index finger, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Fried was skipped on his last turn through rotation because of the blister, but he is expected to return to action at some point during Atlanta's upcoming four-game series in Washington, which begins Thursday. It seems like the NL East champions are simply playing things cautiously with the 29-year-old southpaw, who boasts a 2.64 ERA and 73:13 K:BB in 71.2 innings (13 starts) this season.

McCutchen (Achilles) was transferred Tuesday from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

This is a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for the arrival of Kyle Nicolas. McCutchen suffered a partial tear of left his Achilles tendon earlier this month and had already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 campaign.

Pittsburgh optioned Hatch to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Kyle Nicolas has been selected from Indianapolis to fill the vacant spot in the Pirates' bullpen. Hatch, 28, carries a 4.08 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 28.2 major-league innings this season.

Cavalli (elbow) played catch Tuesday and said he "felt awesome," Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

It was his first throwing workout of any kind since he underwent Tommy John surgery this past March. Cavalli is targeting next June for a return to live games and could be an intriguing rotation option for the Nationals in the second half of the 2024 campaign. A first-round draft pick in 2020, the right-hander holds a 3.51 ERA with 279 strikeouts in 220.1 career minor-league innings.

Stallings is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Nick Fortes will catch and bat ninth. Stallings grabs a day of rest after starting behind the plate in four of the Marlins' last five games.

Sanchez is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

Jon Berti, Jazz Chisholm and Bryan De La Cruz (ankle) will start across the outfield for the Marlins as they take on left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Sanchez has slashed just .220/.256/.317 in 44 plate appearances this year against southpaws.

De La Cruz (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

De La Cruz will start in right field and bat fifth against the Mets and left-hander Joey Lucchesi after missing three straight games due to right ankle soreness. Jon Berti is patrolling left field for Miami and Jazz Chisholm is in center.

Mauricio is starting at third base and batting second Tuesday at Miami.

It's the fifth consecutive start for Mauricio, as Brett Baty continues to be limited by a left groin strain. Mauricio, 22, boasts a .308/.345/.404 slash line with one homer and six steals in 14 major-league games (55 plate appearances) since the Mets made him a Sept. 1 call-up.

Baty (groin) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Miami.

The young third baseman hasn't appeared in a game for the Mets since last Wednesday due to a left groin strain. Ronny Mauricio will handle the hot corner and bat second Tuesday versus the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett.
