The Reds designated La Sorsa for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Reiver Sanmartin. La Sorsa has made five appearances out of the Reds' bullpen this season, allowing nine runs (eight earned) in 6.2 innings.

Stephenson (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Stephenson has missed just over two weeks of action with a fractured thumb but has already been cleared to play in games. He could be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list by this weekend.

The Reds optioned Moll to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The Reds have a bullpen game Tuesday against the Blue Jays and needed a reliever who can provide more length than Moll, who has covered just 18.1 frames in his 23 appearances this season. Reiver Sanmartin is taking Moll's spot on the roster.

Bernabel (knee/quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

The rookie corner infielder will sit for a third straight game as he continues to manage a bruised left knee and quad. Kyle Farmer is starting at first base Tuesday in place of Bernabel.

The Reds selected Sanmartin's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Sanmartin hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023 but has had a nice season at Louisville, collecting a 2.79 ERA and 44:17 K:BB over 58 innings. He could be asked to eat multiple innings during a bullpen game Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.

The Nationals transferred Millas (finger) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Millas underwent season-ending finger surgery last week, so his move to the 60-day IL was an inevitability. The 27-year-old had an .807 OPS in 54 plate appearances for the Nationals this year and is expected to be healthy for the start of spring training.

Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets.

Baez has now started just three of the last eight games and two of the last seven versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .224/.229/.308 with a 1:36 BB:K in the second half. Trey Sweeney will play shortstop and Wenceel Perez will be in center field for the Tigers on Tuesday.

The Nationals optioned Stubbs to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Stubbs was promoted by Washington on Friday and will return to the minors after going 0-for-3 in Monday's matchup with Miami. The 28-year-old was demoted to make room on the MLB roster for Jorge Alfaro, who inked a big-league deal with the Nationals on Tuesday.

The Rockies claimed Contreras off waivers from the Orioles on Tuesday.

Contreras doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so he'll be added to the Rockies' 28-man active roster and will serve as a starter or long reliever. Before the Orioles designated him for assignment, Contreras tossed 4.1 scoreless innings as a bulk reliever last Wednesday against the Red Sox in what marked his 2025 MLB debut.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Jeffers started the past six games and will take a seat Tuesday after going 4-for-17 with four walks, a double and two RBI during that stretch. Mickey Gasper will step in behind the plate to catch for Twins righty Simeon Woods Richardson.
