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

The right-hander fired three scoreless frames out of the bullpen Monday in Kansas City and will now be sent down in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Cabrera has made seven appearances (five starts) for the Diamondbacks this year and has a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 27 innings.

Salas isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Salas will move to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-10 with four strikeouts across his first four games in the big leagues. Freddy Fermin will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

The Diamondbacks recalled Strowd from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

The right-hander is up for another stint with the Diamondbacks after spending the past month at Triple-A. Strowd has made just one appearance in the majors this season but was a solid bullpen piece for Baltimore last year with a 1.71 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

The Giants optioned Morgan to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Morgan was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 1 but did not appear in a game before getting sent back down Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Giants recalled Brett Harris.

Kelly is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Kelly was behind the dish the previous two days for the Cubs, so he'll take a seat Tuesday. Miguel Amaya will do the catch and slot into the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

The Giants recalled Harris from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Harris owns an .849 OPS across 319 plate appearances in the minors this season but has gone just 1-for-9 at the plate since joining the Giants organization Thursday. He'll now join the parent club to supply San Francisco with additional infield depth, replacing Zach Morgan.

Conforto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Milwaukee.

Conforto occupied the designated hitter slot each of the last four times the Cubs faced a righty, but he's not starting Tuesday against Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski. Tyrone Taylor will hold down the DH spot for Chicago.

Ramirez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.

It appears to be a routine day off after Ramirez had started each of the previous five contests. Matt Shaw will cover second base and will bat seventh for the Cubs.

Happ (knee) will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Happ missed the previous two starts with left knee discomfort, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Monday and is back in the lineup Tuesday. The veteran switch hitter is batting .233 with zero extra-base hits across his last 10 contests.

Willits was promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Willits has slashed .262/.404/.457 with 13 home runs, 60 stolen bases and a 92:109 BB:K in 111 games between Single-A Fredericksburg and Wilmington this season. Willits will not turn 19 until December and has established himself as one of the best prospects in the game.
