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

Norby will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after notching six base hits in his last three games while adding two RBI and two runs. Adael Amador will cover second base while Mickey Moniak serves as the designated hitter.

Colorado optioned Castano to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Castano made five appearances with the big-league club after being called up Sept. 1. Over 6.2 innings, the 28-year-old posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB. The Rockies reinstated Kyle Freeland (neck), leading to the team's removal of Castano from the active roster.

The Rockies optioned Machin to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Machin appeared in three games after being getting selected from Albuquerque on Sept. 5. He went 3-for-6 while striking out twice. He's returning to Triple-A in a corresponding move to the Rockies recalling Braxton Fulford.

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

Goodman will move to the bench for the second time in three games despite going 2-for-3 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during Monday's series opener. Brett Sullivan will take over at catcher and bat eighth.

Keith (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Keith was scratched from the lineup Monday due to left thumb soreness and is sitting Tuesday for a second consecutive game. It's unclear how long he's been dealing with the injury, but Keith has a .136/.240/.227 slash line and 30 percent strikeout rate over his past 18 games.

The Rockies recalled Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

After being optioned back to Albuquerque on Aug. 25, Fulford went 10-for-49 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Rockies optioned Vimael Machin to Triple-A.

The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Holman was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin Philadelphia's bullpen as Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) moves to the injured list. Holman gave up five unearned runs while recording one out during his season debut Saturday and will likely be reserved for low-leverage situations.

Ford (hand/wrist) is starting behind the plate and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies.

The 23-year-old is making his first start since Friday, when he departed early due to pain in his left hand/wrist. Ford now appears to be fully recovered and will look to bust out of a 1-for-13 slump.

Tawa is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Marlins, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Tawa went 0-for-3 while he walked and came around to score in the series opener against the Marlins on Monday. He'll rest Tuesday as Pavin Smith starts at first base and bats eighth.

Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Correa (ankle) will not return this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Correa was thought to be on the verge of defying the odds and returning from an ankle procedure he underwent in May, but the Astros will instead opt to keep him on the sidelines for the rest of the year. The 31-year-old hasn't suffered a setback in his recovery, but the workload he took on while rehabbing his ankle became too much for him to handle. He'll now have an entire offseason to build up at a more gradual pace, and he should have a good chance to be ready for the start of the 2027 campaign.
