The Brewers recalled Pratt from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Word broke Sunday that Pratt was on his way to the big leagues, and his promotion is now official. The 21-year-old's .241/.349/.386 batting line at Nashville is underwhelming, but he's hit .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases over his last 25 games. Pratt is expected to take over as the Brewers' primary shortstop, leaving David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz to cover third base. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Guardians in his major-league debut.

De La Cruz (hamstring) is scheduled to begin running Tuesday and Wednesday, and he will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Gwinnett, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

After landing on the injured list June 1, De La Cruz is slated to begin physical activities Tuesday. The 24-year-old is expected to begin his rehab assignment with five innings of action Friday, a start at DH on Saturday and taking the field at shortstop Sunday for the Triple-A team. With De La Cruz's hamstring nearly 90 percent healed, the shortstop is much closer to joining the big-league club.

Turner (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old departed Monday's game against the Marlins with a bruised right wrist after being hit by a pitch, and he'll miss at least one start due to the injury. Edmundo Sosa is picking up a start at shortstop Tuesday in the absence of Turner. Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Turner is likely to return to the lineup Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The Mets designated Brujan for assignment Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

The club claimed Zack Short off waivers Monday, and Short can essentially fill Brujan's role as a reserve. Brujan was called up by the Mets in early May but has played sparingly, accruing only 13 plate appearances in more than six weeks.

Padilla (shoulder) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Padilla has been sidelined all season with a strained shoulder but has finally been cleared to test things out in a game atmosphere. The shortstop will likely play a few games with the FCL Cardinals before eventually being assigned to Single-A Palm Beach for his introduction to full-season ball. Padilla will turn just 19 later this month and hit .283/.396/.367 with 24 stolen bases last season in the FCL.

Lindor (calf) played three innings in a simulated game Friday, and he could begin an official rehab assignment Monday, MLB.com reports.

The star shortstop's absence from the lineup since April 22 has been a big factor in the Mets' poor start to the season, but Lindor appears to be closing in on his return. The team seems confident he won't need a lengthy rehab stint despite the long layoff, which could put him in position to be back in the lineup for a home series against the Phillies that begins June 26. Prior to straining his calf, Lindor has just begun to get rolling at the plate, slashing .304/.319/.457 over his last 12 games.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with two doubles in Monday's loss to the Reds.

The 28-year-old accounted for half the Mets' hits and their only extra-base knocks in an embarrassing 12-0 rout. Bichette has reeled off four straight multi-hit performances, and over the last 11 games he's produced a .413/.396/.761 slash line with five doubles, a triple, three homers, eight runs and 12 RBI as he puts a sluggish start to his New York tenure behind him.

Perdomo batted second and went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Perdomo, who had spent the previous 10 games lower in the order, was moved back to the two hole among a slew of batting order changes enacted by manager Torey Lovullo. The shortstop had gone 12-for-34 (.353) with six walks and three steals during his brief time in the lower third of the order.

Rojas hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance during Monday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay.

It didn't quite match the drama of his ninth-inning, game-tying homer in Game 7 of the World Series last year, but Rojas' seventh-inning solo blast Monday ended up being the decisive moment in the Dodgers' victory. Rojas entered the game as a pinch hitter for Alex Freeland, who struck out twice and is just 1-for-13 over his past six contests. This was also Rojas' first showing since he was pulled from Saturday's matchup versus the White Sox due to a right shin issue, so the veteran infielder appears to be fine. He's probably going to continue seeing inconsistent playing time, however, as Los Angeles' infield situation is about to get more crowded with Tommy Edman (ankle) slated to be activated off the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

X-rays on Turner's right wrist came back negative, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Turner was pulled from Monday's game after being struck by a pitch on his right hand, though it appears he's managed to avoid a significant injury. The Phillies will likely re-evaluate the star shortstop in the morning to determine his availability going forward.
