The Padres placed Peralta on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 10, with a left adductor strain.

Peralta sustained a groin strain during an appearance against Seattle on Tuesday and hasn't pitched since. His move to the IL opens up a spot on the active roster for Sean Reynolds. Peralta will be eligible to return in late July.

The Padres called up Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Reynolds is set to join the big-league roster with Wandy Peralta (groin) headed to the IL in a corresponding move. Reynolds was traded to San Diego from the Marlins last August and has appeared in 29 games with El Paso this season, three of which were starts. He'll pitch out of the bullpen for the Padres, and he'll be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game.

The Padres are expected to recall Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Reynolds will take the place of Wandy Peralta (groin) on the active roster. Reynolds hasn't made his MLB debut yet, and he has logged a 6.55 ERA and 60 strikeouts across 45.1 innings for El Paso.

Peralta (groin) will be placed on the injured list, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Peralta was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with what appeared to be a left groin strain. The 32-year-old has a 4.50 ERA across 34 innings this season. Sean Reynolds will be called up to take Peralta's place on the active roster.

O'Brien is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday with Double-A Springfield and could start a rehab assignment next week if it goes well, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Saturday will be O'Brien's third, and possibly last, live BP session, as the 29-year-old reliever could see game action as early as next week. O'Brien hasn't pitched in a game since Opening Day, when he sustained a strained forearm. He'll likely require several rehab appearances before being activated.

Alzolay (forearm) will throw live batting practice Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Alzolay threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and is set to face batters for the first time since being placed on the injured list in mid-May. The 29-year-old has been rehabbing at the Cubs' Arizona complex, and he'll likely require a handful of minor-league rehab outings before being activated.

Merryweather (ribs) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Merryweather fanned two across a perfect inning in his first rehab appearance Tuesday. The 32-year-old should rejoin the big-league bullpen on the other side of the All-Star break.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Graterol (shoulder) could be activated off the 60-day injured list by the end of July, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Graterol has been on the shelf the entire season due to right shoulder inflammation, but the 25-year-old right-hander has been progressing through his rehab program and was added to the roster of the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Friday, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. Graterol appeared in 68 games for the Dodgers last season, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over 67.1 innings while recording seven saves.

Reid-Foley (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Saturday's activities will mark Reid-Foley's first time throwing off a mound since being placed on the injured list June 22 with a right shoulder impingement. While the 28-year-old may not be ready to bolster the Mets' bullpen immediately after the All-Star break, a July return isn't out of the picture. In 21.2 innings, Reid-Foley has posted a 1.66 ERA with 25 strikeouts.

The Nationals recalled Rutledge from Triple-A Rochester to start Friday's game against the Brewers.

Rutledge will make his first MLB start of 2024, with his only other appearance with the Nationals this season coming May 14 out of the bullpen. The 25-year-old owns a 6.66 ERA across 71.2 innings with Triple-A Rochester and has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over his last 7.1 innings.
