The Astros optioned Burrows to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Burrows tied a season worst with seven earned runs allowed Monday against the Nationals, giving him a 6.84 ERA and 5.9 K/9 across his past 10 appearances. The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates during the offseason after posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 97:31 K:BB over 96 innings during 2025, but he'll likely need to get back on track at Sugar Land before getting another look in the Astros' rotation.

The Athletics recalled Lopez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The left-hander was a rotation piece for the A's early this season, but he was optioned to Triple-A in early June after posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 38:33 K:BB across 50.1 innings. Lopez struggled in his first two starts with Las Vegas but rebounded by allowing just one run across 11.1 frames in his last two outings. He's likely to be available out of the bullpen, at least initially.

The Red Sox "remain hopeful" Suarez (adductor) can avoid the 15-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Suarez was forced from Sunday's outing against the Angels in the third inning due to left adductor tightness. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday, at which point the Red Sox will have a better idea as to whether Suarez can make his next start which is tentatively lined up for Saturday against the Mets. With the All-Star break looming, the Red Sox could play it safe and hold Suarez out. Suarez made the All-Star team, but there's a good chance he'll be replaced on the AL roster.

Atlanta optioned Murphy to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

The right-hander was called up Monday and made his debut in the 10th inning against the Mets, taking the loss after giving up two runs (one earned) on a hit and a hit-by-pitch with one strikeout. Murphy will now return to Gwinnett, where he has a 3.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB across 11 starts (60.1 innings) this year.

Murphy (0-1) took the loss Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on one hit in the 10th inning as Atlanta fell 7-6 to the Mets. He struck out without walking a batter.

Making his big-league debut in a high-pressure spot, Murphy retired Francisco Lindor and Carson Benge to begin the frame before hitting Jared Young with a pitch and serving up a two-run double to Luis Torrens. The 22-year-old right-hander is in his first full season since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024, and while he's working out of the bullpen for the big club, his future is still expected to be in the rotation -- over 11 starts since a promotion to Triple-A Gwinnett at the beginning of May, Murphy's posted a 3.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB in 60.1 innings.

High-A Fort Wayne reinstated Kemp (oblique) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kemp is finally ready to make his High-A debut after a left oblique injury suffered in the spring shelved him to begin the season. He was activated after allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings across three rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

McGreevy won't start during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers in order to get some extra rest, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The right-hander was lined up to start in Tuesday's twin bill, but St. Louis will instead have Matt Svanson as the opener and Bruce Zimmermann as the bulk reliever in Game 1 while Hunter Dobbins starts the nightcap. There's been no indication of an injury for McGreevy, who has given up just two runs across 12 innings over his past two starts. He'll instead take the mound Wednesday versus Milwaukee.

The Brewers designated Gasser as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he's scheduled to start the second game of the twin bill.

The left-hander was optioned to the minors last week, but the expectation all along was that he would rejoin the big club to pitch in Tuesday's doubleheader. Gasser has a 4.54 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 35.2 innings (seven starts) in the majors this season, though he's been more effective in his past three outings with a 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.

The Cardinals recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Dobbins is serving as the 27th man during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers and is slated to start the second game. The right-hander has posted a 3.63 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB over 17.1 innings during his time with the big club this season. Dobbins is likely to be sent back down after his spot start.

The Cardinals selected Zimmermann's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Zimmermann is slated to work in bulk relief in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers. The left-hander has had a solid season in Memphis' rotation, turning in a 3.78 ERA and 84:21 K:BB over 78.2 innings. His stay in the majors is likely to be brief.
