The Mets optioned Waddell to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Waddell tossed 4.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's loss to the Marlins but now finds himself back in the minors. The Mets have elected to replace him on the roster with a position player in Jared Young.

Gonzalez slashed .288/.404/.455 with four home runs, 33 steals, a 16.2 percent walk rate and a 15.8 percent strikeout rate in 52 games in the Dominican Summer League.

The top teenage international prospect to sign on Jan. 15 this year, Gonzalez lived up to the hype in his pro debut. His athleticism was arguably the standout trait during his tour of the DSL, as he registered a 9.7 speed score on FanGraphs while going 33-for-38 (86.8 percent success rate) on the bases. Gonzalez only played shortstop this season and projects to stick there long term.

Duno hit .338 with seven home runs, 24 walks and 11 strikeouts in 25 August games for Single-A Daytona.

One of the most feared hitters in the Florida State League, the 19-year-old Duno is in complete control at the plate of late, as he walked more than twice as often (23.1 BB%) as he struck out (10.6 K%) last month. On the season, the hulking catcher is slashing .281/.426/.496 with 15 home runs, a 19.1 percent walk rate and an 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 109 games. He is two or three years away from the big leagues, but Duno has the upside to be a top-five fantasy catcher in his prime.

The Tigers recalled Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Gipson-Long will start Tuesday's game at home against the Mets, and manager A.J. Hinch said the right-hander will get either another start or bulk relief outing next week versus the Yankees. The righty hasn't reached the five-inning mark in an appearance since late June, so he won't pitch terribly deep into Tuesday's game.

The Tigers optioned Lee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Lee had just been recalled Monday and will be sent back down without having made an appearance. He's making space on the active roster for Sawyer Gipson-Long, who will start Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

Devers launched a solo shot off right-hander Chase Dollander in the first inning and drew a walk in the fifth before coming around to score. The 28-year-old has been on fire recently, going 12-for-23 with 11 runs scored, 10 RBI, four home runs and two doubles in 28 plate appearances over his last six outings. He's up to 29 long balls this season, slashing .264/.383/.490 with 94 RBI, 83 runs scored and a stolen base across 622 plate appearances in 139 games between San Francisco and Boston.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Harrington on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified injury.

Indianapolis had previously shelved Harrington on Aug. 10 due to an unspecified injury, and though he was activated Thursday, he made it through just one inning during his start against Buffalo before landing back on the IL a day later. The Pirates haven't shed light on the nature of Harrington's latest setback, but given the timing of the injury, the right-hander could be hard-pressed to pitch again in 2025.

Atlanta activated Kim (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Kim was scooped up from the Rays via waivers Monday and now joins the active roster with his new club. The 29-year-old has been limited to only 24 games this season due to injury and has slashed an uninspiring .214/.290/.321 when on the field. However, Kim should operate as Atlanta's everyday shortstop down the stretch, and with a $16 million player option for 2026, he could be the team's regular at the position next season, as well.

Torrens went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.

It's the second three-hit performance for Torrens in his last five starts as he takes advantage of the latest IL stint for Francisco Alvarez (thumb/finger). Over nine games since Alvarez went down in mid-August, Torrens is batting .310 (9-for-26) with three doubles, two homers, six runs and 10 RBI. Alvarez is pushing to return quickly but isn't going to be 100 percent healthy until the offseason, so Torrens figures to retain a significant workload behind the plate through September.

Atlanta designated Suero for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Hayden Harris. Suero has been knocked around for eight runs over 6.1 innings during his time with Atlanta this season.
