The Brewers recalled Peterson from Triple-A Nashville prior to Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Peterson was designated for assignment May 24 after he finished his rehab assignment for an injured thumb, and he was ultimately outrighted to Triple-A on May 26. He'll now return to the Brewers, where he'll look to improve upon the .208/.321/.458 slash line that he posted in 28 major-league plate appearances during April. Peterson will take the roster spot of Keston Hiura, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Anderson (shoulder) is moving well and preparing to start a hitting progression, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old likely remains at least a couple weeks from returning as he recovers from a left shoulder subluxation. It's unclear whether Anderson will require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but the Marlins eagerly await the return of his bat to their struggling lineup.

Muncy (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy injured his ankle while running to first base during Friday's game against Atlanta. The injury forced him out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday, though he did get an at-bat as a pinch hitter during the series finale. Per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, manager Dave Roberts said Muncy's lateral mobility is still a bit hindered by the ankle issue, so he will not be an option to play second base during the series in Pittsburgh. Nonetheless, the slugger will return to the lineup Tuesday at first base.

The Orioles optioned Urias to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

The move was necessary to make room for Mac Sceroler's (shoulder) activation from the injured list. Urias went 2-for-4 with a homer in his only game after being recalled June 4, but that apparently wasn't enough to earn a longer stay with the big-league club. That said, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Urias up with the Orioles again at some point this season. All in all, he's hit .246/.328/.386 for the big club in 2021.

Peraza was promoted from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A Somerset on Tuesday.

Peraza will move up a rung on the minor-league ladder after he slashed .306/.386/.532 with five home runs and a 16-for-17 success rate on stolen-base attempts through 127 plate appearances at Hudson Valley. The 20-year-old from Venezuela is viewed as one of the top position prospects in the Yankees' farm system.

Candelario landed on the bereavement list Tuesday.

Players can spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, placing Candelario's return somewhere between Friday and next Tuesday. Isaac Paredes was recalled in a corresponding move and could see starts at third base in Candelario's absence, though those could also go to Harold Castro.

The Tigers recalled Paredes from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

While he's up with the big club, Paredes should get the chance to fill in at third base for Jeimer Candelario (personal), who was placed on the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Paredes maintains a .732 OPS through 125 plate appearances at Triple-A this season, but he was far less impressive at the big-league level in 2020. He slashed .220/.278/.290 in 34 games with the Tigers last season, producing only five extra-base hits (one home run, four doubles) and no stolen bases across 108 plate appearances.

Noel was confirmed to have avoided a fractured ankle Tuesday but does have a sprain.

Noel got off to an excellent start this season in his first taste of full-season ball, hitting .347/.368/.639 with five homers in 17 games for Low-A Lynchburg. The severity of his sprain and his expected return date are not yet clear.

Machado went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.

The 28-year-old plated his first two runs of the night on a pair of sacrifice flies before taking reliever Cory Abbott deep for a solo blast in the eighth inning. Having now left the yard twice in his last three starts, Machado is up to eight home runs on the season, good for sole possession of second place on the Padres behind standout shortstop Fernando Tatis (17).

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a double, a RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners.

Rendon was quiet in his first three at-bats before scoring in the eighth inning and knocking in Justin Upton in the ninth frame on a double. The third baseman is slashing just .236/.311/.347 with three home runs, 22 RBI and 15 runs in 161 plate appearances in his age-31 season. He has picked up the slack recently with three multi-hit games in his last five contests.
