Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Back from suspension
Contreras (suspension) was added to the active roster and will bat fourth while starting at first base Tuesday against Seattle.
Contreras' six-game suspension was reduced to four games following an appeal, which will allow him to return for the second game of St. Louis' series against the Mariners. The 33-year-old's .786 OPS represents his worst mark since he joined the Cardinals in 2023, though he went 5-for-18 with a homer and five RBI across his last five games before serving his suspension.

Alek Jacob RP | SD
Padres' Alek Jacob: Sent back to Triple-A
The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Michael King (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Tuesday, so Jacob was optioned to make room. Jacob made three appearances after being recalled Sept. 2, allowing one earned run on two hits with a 3:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Activated for start Tuesday
The Padres reinstated King (knee) from the injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
King has been limited to just one start in the majors since May 18 due to problems with his right shoulder and, more recently, left knee. Now that both injuries are no longer an issue, he'll rejoin the Padres' rotation and get to face a D-backs offense that has managed just a .670 OPS over its last 15 games. Alek Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

In the three games he played since last starting on the bench, the 28-year-old went 3-for-14 with two walks and two RBI. Ryan O'Hearn has the start at first base Tuesday while Gavin Sheets serves as the designated hitter.
