Guzman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Guzman had started in each of the Angels' last five contests, but he'll get a break Wednesday while Vaughn Grissom covers the hot corner. The 22-year-old has been in a rut at the plate since the All-Star break, going just 6-for-40 (.150 average) with one home run, one stolen base, three runs and two RBI.

Greene will visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Thursday for his right elbow injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Greene felt discomfort in his throwing elbow after Tuesday's side session, which prompted the Reds to place him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. He opened the year on the IL after having bone chips removed from his right elbow in March and didn't make his 2026 debut until early July. Given that it's another elbow issue, Greene's availability for the rest of the season is in question.

Cincinnati placed Greene on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right elbow soreness.

Greene's 2026 debut with the Reds was delayed until July 4 after he required surgery in mid-March to remove bone chips from his right elbow. After posting a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB in 27.2 innings over his first five starts, Greene has been shut down yet again due to an elbow issue. He'll likely be sent in for further testing before the Reds have a better idea of how much time he'll miss, but it's reasonable to expend the right-hander to be out beyond the 15-day minimum. Cincinnati recalled reliever Luis Mey from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move but will need to fill Greene's spot in the rotation later in the week.

The Brewers reinstated Harrison (forearm) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Pirates.

The 24-year-old lefty will make his return to the Milwaukee rotation after missing just under four weeks while recovering from left forearm extensor tendinopathy. Harrison covered 5.2 innings and 68 pitches during his lone rehab start at High-A Wisconsin last Thursday, so he should be capable of handling something close to a normal workload as he takes the hill for the Brewers for the first time since July 8.

The Nationals designated Littell for assignment Wednesday.

Littell covered 6.2 innings -- his second-longest outing of the season -- in bulk relief Tuesday against the Phillies, but he's on an expiring contract and wasn't viewed as a vital part of the future for a Nationals squad that has begun to fade from the playoff picture following a seven-game losing streak. Even though he had pitched better over his last three outings, Littell struggled to make bats miss (14.6 K%) and keep the ball in yard (25 home runs allowed) during his time with Washington. The Nationals activated Brad Lord (side) from the 15-day injured list to join the roster as a replacement for Littell, who turned in a 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 112.1 innings over his 23 appearances (14 starts).

Cincinnati recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Mey will be up with the Reds for the third time this season after posting a 7.27 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB in 8.2 innings over seven appearances between his prior two stints in the big leagues. He'll likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Washington activated Lord (side) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

After completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester, Lord has been cleared to return to the big-league club. Before landing on the IL, the 26-year-old posted a 3.88 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB over 58 innings. The Nationals designated right-hander Zack Littell for assignment in a corresponding move.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Judge (rib) has been cleared to begin light activities, which includes outdoor running and upper-body resistance work, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Though Judge hasn't been given the green light to take part in baseball activities, a return to light conditioning and strength work still amounts to a major step forward in his recovery process from a stress fracture of the first rib on the right side. The Yankees remain optimistic that Judge will be back from the 60-day injured list at some point later this season, but a more precise timeline for his return won't come into focus until he's further along in his rehab program. Judge has been on the shelf since June 5 due to the injury.

The Angels placed Bachman on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation.

Bachman was lifted just nine pitches in his most recent relief appearance in Sunday's win over the Brewers due to what the Angels initially termed as right arm fatigue. After additional tests on Bachman's arm revealed a nerve issue, the Angels opted to send him to the shelf. Bachman looked like a candidate to factor into the closing picture after the Angels parted with high-leverage relievers Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates ahead of Monday's trade deadline, but the forearm injury will take Bachman out of the mix for saves for the time being.

Detmers will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Detmers appeared to be a prime candidate to get traded ahead of Monday's deadline, and though one report indicated that a deal was in place for him to join the Cubs, he ultimately stayed in Anaheim. The 27-year-old lefty will return to the bump for the Angels on seven days' rest and should continue to headline the rotation for the rest of the season. Since surrendering a season-high eight runs in a loss to the Athletics on May 19, Detmers has gone 2-2 with a 3.21 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 84:19 K:BB over 70 frames in his subsequent 12 starts.
