Torrens went 3-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and an RBI single during the Mets' 6-2 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

Torrens got the Mets on the board with a three-run homer off Joey Cantillo in the second inning, though that long ball would not have happened had it not been for a throwing error by Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias to keep the inning alive. Torrens added another run in the fourth, and his four RBI were a season high and most in a game since Aug. 25, 2025 against the Phillies (five). He has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with six RBI and three extra-base hits since the All-Star break.

The Padres optioned Duran to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Though he initially stuck around as a third catcher behind Luis Campusano and Freddy Fermin after Fermin returned from the injured list coming out of the All-Star break, Duran will be moved off the active roster with the Padres needing to clear a spot for one of their trade-deadline additions. Across 91 plate appearances with the big club this season, Duran has slashed .146/.222/.305 with three home runs, eight RBI and eight runs.

Campusano isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Campusano has put together a six-game hitting streak, but the Padres will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. Freddy Fermin will handle catching duties and bat seventh.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Ruiz will get a breather Tuesday after going 2-for-4 with a run scored during Monday's series opener. Harry Ford will fill in as Washington's backstop and bat fifth.

The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

The Dodgers acquired Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt through trades Monday to serve as replacements for Robinson and Eliezer Alfonzo on the active roster. Robinson was up with the Dodgers for just a day as a temporary depth piece due to Dalton Rushing (elbow) hitting the 10-day injured list Monday.

The Dodgers selected Rortvedt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

With Dalton Rushing (elbow) joining Will Smith (neck) on the injured list Monday, the Dodgers moved quickly to add catching depth to the organization. The Dodgers made trades prior to Monday's deadline to bring in Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia, both of whom will be activated for Tuesday's game against the Cubs. Though he's spent the entire 2026 campaign to date in the minors, Rortvedt saw big-league action each of the previous four seasons, including at the tail end of 2025 with the Dodgers. Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts said that Rortvedt is expected to see the "lion's share" of the starts over Feduccia for the time being, with the Dodgers seemingly placing value on Rortvedt's defensive and game-calling skills. Rortvedt has been an easy out at the big-league level, batting just .190 with nine home runs in 227 career games.

The Marlins recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old is back in the majors after a two-month stint at the Triple-A level. He's filling the roster spot vacated by Liam Hicks, who was traded to the Rays on Monday. Ramirez should see occasional starts behind the plate and will also start getting some reps at first base, per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com. Joe Mack will continue to operate as Miami's primary catcher.

The Dodgers optioned Alfonzo to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Alfonzo and Chuckie Robinson will be replaced on the Dodgers' active roster by new acquisitions Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt. Alfonzo went just 5-for-27 during his time with Los Angeles and is likely to spend the rest of the season as a depth piece at Oklahoma City.

The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the paternity list Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was scratched from the lineup Monday to attend the birth of his child, so this move to the paternity list was expected. Moreno can spend up to three days on the paternity list, so he should be back with the Diamondbacks by Friday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

The Marlins will recall Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's contest in Atlanta, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Ramirez was sent down to Jacksonville in early May after slashing only .230/.318/.345 with two home runs in his first 31 contests. He's been better at Jacksonville, though a .254/.332/.427 batting line wasn't exactly forcing the Marlins' hand. Ramirez has not played a position other than catcher this season, and with Joe Mack slated to continue serving as the Marlins' primary backstop, it's unclear how much playing time Ramirez will receive.
