  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Remains on track for next start

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday in an interview on 620 WTMJ that "all things look good" for Misiorowski (hamstring) to make his next scheduled start Wednesday in St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreports.

    Misiorowski had to depart his last outing Friday against the Nationals with a right hamstring cramp. However, he reported feeling fine after the game and was able to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session Monday. Barring a setback, Misiorowski should be in line for a normal workload against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

  • Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Examined by Dr. Meister

    Woodruff (shoulder) was examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Woodruff went on the 15-day injured list last week with right shoulder inflammation after he had to exit his last outing when his fastball velocity sat in the mid-80s. The consensus seems to be that he's going through a "dead arm" phase, though it's an ominous sign that he's seeking out the opinion of Dr. Meister. The Brewers could have more on Woodruff's status following Tuesday's exam.

  • Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Designated for assignment

    Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

    The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment by Atlanta in late April before re-signing a few days later and being added back to the big-league roster. Carrasco fired 1.1 scoreless innings Monday in Seattle and was unscored upon in his other appearance earlier this season, but he'll still lose his roster spot with Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) coming off the injured list.

  • Freddy Peralta SP | NYM

    Mets' Freddy Peralta: Mets-Rockies contest postponed

    Peralta will no longer start Tuesday after the Mets' game versus the Rockies was postponed due to inclement weather.

    The game will be made up Thursday. Peralta now lines up to take the ball Wednesday, while Christian Scott should be bumped back a day to Thursday.

  • Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Tuesday's game postponed

    Lorenzen won't pitch Tuesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

    The contest will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, with Lorenzen likely to take the mound in one of those contests. The veteran right-hander has posted a 6.09 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB through eight appearances (34 innings) this season.

  • Mets' Christian Scott: Remaining in rotation

    Scott is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

    The 26-year-old righty was sent back to the minors after walking five batters and recording just four outs in a spot start April 23 versus the Twins, but Scott was called up just a few days later after the Mets needed a replacement in the rotation for the injured Kodai Senga (back). Scott fared much better in his start Friday against the Angels, striking out eight batters while yielding three runs (two earned) on three hits and no walks over five innings. With Senga facing an uncertain timeline for his return from the injured list, Scott could be in line for an extended stay in the big-league rotation, provided he's able to avoid the control problems that plagued him in his 2026 MLB debut.

  • Robby Snelling SP | MIA

    Marlins' Robby Snelling: Option to take Paddack's spot

    Snelling is an option to start Friday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    The Marlins have an opening in their rotation after designating Chris Paddack for assignment. Braxton Garrett could be first in line since he's already on the 40-man roster and Snelling is not. However, Snelling is certainly pitching well enough to get a look, having collected a 1.86 ERA and 44:15 K:BB over 29 innings covering six starts for Triple-A Jacksonville. Even if Snelling isn't the choice by the Marlins this time around, he should get his opportunity sooner rather than later.

  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Could enter Miami rotation

    Garrett could be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Friday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    He would fill the spot vacated by Chris Paddack, who was designated for assignment Tuesday. Garrett missed all of the 2025 season while recovering from UCL surgery and failed to make the Opening Day roster this spring, but he's responded with a 1.71 ERA and 26:12 K:BB over 26.1 innings covering five starts with Jacksonville. Robby Snelling is also an option to take Paddack's spot, but Garrett might have the edge since he's already on the 40-man roster.

  • Marlins' William Kempner: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Marlins recalled Kempner from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Chris Paddack, who was designated for assignment. Kempner holds a 6.46 ERA this season with Jacksonville but has struck out a whopping 34 batters over 15.1 innings. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he enters a game.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Braves' Martin Perez: Could be needed to start

    Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said that Perez wasn't available out of the bullpen for Monday's 5-4 loss to Seattle because the left-hander might be needed to start one of the final two games of the series in Seattle, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Atlanta has already confirmed Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes as its starters for Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, but Weiss's comments may indicate that one of the two is not necessarily locked into taking the hill that day. Though he had been expected to shift to the bullpen when Atlanta brought back Spencer Strider from the injured list over the weekend, Perez looks like he could still be a factor in the rotation. Whether he makes his next appearance as a starter or a reliever, Perez will be fresh after having not pitched since last Tuesday, when he tossed five scoreless innings against Detroit to bring his ERA down to 2.22 for the season.
