Ryan (illness) has been cleared to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ryan was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday due to an illness, but he will wind up being pushed back just one day. Connor Prielipp had been scheduled to start Wednesday but will now likely take the ball Friday against the Rockies.

The Cubs recalled Murray from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Murray was acquired via trade from the Astros this past weekend and will report directly to the major-league club. The 29-year-old reliever holds a 4.68 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 25 innings over the last two seasons during his time in the big leagues.

Winn was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It's unclear when exactly Winn sustained the injury, as he's in the midst of a seven-game hit streak during which he has gone 11-for-28 (.393 average) with two doubles and a homer. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Hollowell was with the big club for a week and allowed two runs with a 2:5 BB:K over 3.2 innings. He's being replaced on the active roster by Jayden Murray.

Reds manager Terry Francona said that Greene (elbow) is slated to throw around 75 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Jaron May of WLWT Cincinnati reports.

Greene threw 54 pitches over four scoreless innings in his first rehab start last week in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, and he will continue to build up his stamina as he moves up to the Reds' top minor-league affiliate. Francona noted Tuesday that there remains no target date for Greene's return to the big-league rotation, as it depends on how the hurler's body responds. However, with Greene slated to get his pitch count up to 75, his season debut is likely right around the corner.

Gorman has been assigned to Triple-A Memphis after spending the past week at the Cardinals' spring training complex in Florida to rework his swing, Jim Hayes of Cardinals.TV reports.

Gorman worked with hitting director Dalton Hurd and minor-league hitting coordinator Brock Hammit on a flatter attack angle with his swing. The hope is that it will allow Gorman -- who is hitting .194/.279/.318 with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate this season -- to make more contact, and he is ready to test things out with the Cardinals' top minor-league affiliate.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Robert "looked normal" while taking a full session of batting practice in the cages Tuesday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Mendoza added that Robert is now "symptom-free pretty much" and the next step will be to ramp up his running progression. Robert has been sidelined since late April with a lumbar spine disc herniation, but his back has responded well to a series of injections. There remains no timetable for his return to the active roster, but Robert seem to have finally turned a corner.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Scott (hip) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start this weekend against the Phillies, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

The right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list Saturday, so his stay on the shelf due to a hip impingement will end up being a brief one. Scott threw a simulated game Monday and wil re-enter the Mets' starting rotation without a minor-league rehab assignment.

Meyer (bereavement) is expected to start Friday in St. Louis, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Meyer was placed on the bereavement list Monday, but it will not cost him a turn in the Marlins' rotation, as he'll be taking the ball on five days' rest Friday. The righty has had a breakout season in Miami, going 8-0 while collecting a 2.80 ERA and 102:34 K:BB over 90 innings covering 16 starts.

Leiter underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his right ankle region Tuesday and should be considered out indefinitely, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Leiter is expected back before the end of the season but is without an official recovery timeline, so it's safe to assume he'll be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a posterior impingement in his right ankle, which he apparently has been pitching through for most of the campaign.
