The Marlins transferred Garrett (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Garrett began a throwing program last week -- roughly a month after a forearm flexor strain sent him to the injured list. He still figures to be sidelined for another few weeks, so the Marlins will move him to the 60-day IL and give his 40-man spot to Jesus Tinoco, who was claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday.

The Orioles traded Johnson to Philadelphia on Tuesday in exchange for Gregory Soto, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Through 18 starts with Double-A Bowie, Johnson has recorded a 2.63 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 65 innings this year. It's likely he heads to Double-A Reading to begin his tenure with the Phillies, though a promotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley could come in the near future if the 25-year-old righty continues at his current pace.

The Giants traded Silva to the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for Mark Canha, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Silva has spent the entirety of 2024 with Double-A Richmond, where he's logged a 4.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through 41.1 innings. He'll likely remain at the Double-A level upon joining the Tigers organization.

The Padres acquired Perez from the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ronaldys Jimenez, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Perez will claim the fifth spot in San Diego's rotation, as the team had been using a four-man setup prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. The 33-year-old southpaw has struggled mightily since returning from the injured list in late June, putting up a 6.31 ERA and 1.87 WHIP across 25.2 innings.

The Orioles traded McGough to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Eloy Jimenez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

McGough began the 2024 campaign in Double-A but quickly earned a promotion to Triple-A, where he's remained effective with a 2.08 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 34.2 innings out of the bullpen. Given his production in the minors and the White Sox's lack of MLB bullpen depth, it's possible the 26-year-old southpaw cracks the major leagues before the end of the season.

The Dodgers acquired Flaherty from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Trey Sweeney and catcher Thayron Liranzo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

One of the top pitchers available at the deadline, Flaherty finds himself in a favorable landing spot with the playoff-contending Dodgers, whose rotation is dealing with uncertainty due to a slew of injuries and some unproven rookies. Flaherty had pitched at an ace-like level over his final seven starts with Detroit, turning in a 2.08 ERA and 0.87 WHIP while striking out 43 over 39 innings. The right-hander is likely to slot into the Dodgers rotation during this weekend's series in Oakland.

Shim (shoulder) was traded from the Pirates to the Marlins on Tuesday along with Garret Forrester in exchange for Bryan De La Cruz, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Shim was on the Florida Complex League Pirates' 60-day injured list with a right shoulder injury at the time of the trade. A 6-foot-4 Korean righty, Shim has big-time stuff but has been unable to hold up physically. He has 13 strikeouts in eight career innings since signing for $750,000 in January of 2023.

Fedde is scheduled to make his first start with the Cardinals on Friday versus the Cubs in Chicago, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Before being acquired from the White Sox on Monday, Fedde made his final start with the Pale Hose this past Saturday. Following Monday's trade, Fedde won't join the Cardinals in St. Louis before their series with the Rangers comes to an end Wednesday, as he'll instead remain in Chicago while waiting for his new teammates to arrive Thursday. Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his 21 starts with the White Sox this season.

Cole (general fatigue) reiterated he's not dealing with an arm issue after being scratched from Tuesday's start against the Phillies, and he expects to pitch this weekend versus the Blue Jays, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Cole has also been battling a stomach bug this week, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, so taking few extra days to rest should be beneficial. Cole's status over the next few days will be worth monitoring, but there doesn't appear to be any long-term concerns. Will Warren is making his MLB debut Tuesday for the Yankees.

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

Munoz had been optioned to Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Marlins without making an appearance in the minors since he'll be replacing one of the many players that Miami traded away ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The banged-up Marlins still have plenty of holes in their rotation, so Munoz could step back into a starting role as soon as Wednesday at Tampa Bay or Thursday at Atlanta. He holds a 5.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:31 K:BB over 61 innings in the majors in 2024.
