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.

Arraez is not in the lineup for the Padres on Tuesday versus the Reds.

Arraez is sitting for the second time in five games, which is rare for the first baseman that plays almost every game. 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.

Moreno isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Francisco.

After logging back-to-back multi-hit performances, Moreno will catch a breather Tuesday while James McCann catches for starter Zac Gallen and bats eighth.

Matos isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Matos will take a seat for the third time in San Francisco's last five games after going 2-for-13 to begin the month of September. Drew Gilbert will pick up a start in right field as a result and bat eighth.

Hays isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Diego.

Hays will head to the bench Tuesday in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, giving Gavin Lux a chance to start in left field and bat fourth against right-hander Michael King.

Steer isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Steer will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts during Monday's series opener. Sal Stewart will fill the void at first base and bat second.

Kim isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

After starting three straight games against right-handed starters, Kim will step out of the lineup Tuesday despite right-hander German Marquez taking the mound for Colorado. Miguel Rojas will get the nod at the keystone while batting ninth.

Smith (hand) will start at catcher and bat fourth Tuesday against the Rockies.

Smith missed five games after taking a pitch off his right hand last Wednesday, but he'll return behind the dish Tuesday and catch for starter Emmet Sheehan. Smith had gone 4-for-12 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in his previous five games before getting hurt.

Gurriel will undergo ACL surgery Thursday and is expected to need at least 9-to-10 months of recovery, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Gurriel tore his ACL on Sept. 2, which will force him out for the rest of the 2025 season as well as much of the upcoming 2026 season. If the reported recovery timeline stays true for the outfielder, he might be able to return in June or July of next year.

The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Casparius had been having a solid stretch since July 25 as he notched a 2.63 ERA across 13.2 innings in that span. However, he loses his spot on the active roster to Alex Vesia (oblique), who was activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
