The Rockies recalled Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Veen will join the big club for the first time in 2026 after he logged 37 plate appearances with the Rockies last season. The 24-year-old has been productive at Albuquerque in 2026, slashing .327/.402/.635 with 24 home runs and 19 stolen bases across 445 plate appearances. The Rockies designated Edouard Julien for assignment to make room on the active roster for Veen, who could be a candidate to fill the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield.

Church is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Phillies.

With Philadelphia sending southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the hill on Tuesday, the left-handed-hitting Church will ride the pine. Everson Pereira will make his first start in center field and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

Philadelphia demoted Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Rangel was roughed up in his lone outing Monday since returning to the big-league club on August 9. The right-hander went 2.2 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three against St. Louis. The Phillies elevated Alex McFarlane to replace Rangel on the active roster.

Philadelphia recalled McFarlane from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

McFarlane will begin his second stint with the big-league club this season after being recalled Tuesday. The 25-year-old most recently appeared at the big-league level July 22, recording a scoreless inning against the Dodgers. The right-hander has dazzled with Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, pitching to a 1.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings. The Phillies optioned Alan Rangel to Lehigh Valley to open a spot on the 26-man roster.

Manager Blake Butera said Tuesday that Wood (oblique) is not expected to be activated from the injured list when eligible later this week, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Wood has progressed to fielding drills and throwing from 45 feet, and he's expected to take dry swings with the bat Tuesday. He suffered a strained left oblique Aug. 3 and has missed the Nationals' past six contests. Dylan Crews has been handling right field in Wood's absence.

The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

McCambley appeared in three games, allowing one earned run over three innings with the big-league club before being sent back to Triple-A on Tuesday. The right-hander has spent most of his time this year in Triple-A with both Louisville and Jacksonville (Miami's Triple-A affiliate), registering a 4-1 record, 2.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB in 49 innings. With Nick Lodolo (finger) returning from the IL, Cincinnati needed to clear a roster spot.

The Reds selected Toglia's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Toglia has spent the entire season at Louisville, where he slashed .273/.373/.547 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 49 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 56:103 BB:K across 402 trips to the plate. The switch-hitting Toglia possesses plus power but owns an inflated 35.0 percent strikeout rate spanning 1,067 big-league plate appearances. He has the ability to play first base and right field and will likely see some at-bats at designated hitter.

Cincinnati reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list, and he will start Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox.

Lodolo will return from the IL after being sidelined for just under a month of action. The southpaw needed just one rehab start with Triple-A Louisville, which spanned 4.1 innings, before rejoining the big-league club. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3-2 record, 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB through 62.2 innings. The Reds optioned Zach McCambley to Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds transferred Greene (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Greene is out for the remainder of the 2026 season and will soon undergo surgery to repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, which will keep him on the shelf for most or all of the 2027 campaign. The 27-year-old opened the current season on the IL after requiring a procedure in the spring to remove bone chips from his elbow and ended up making just five starts for the Reds, logging a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

Rodriguez (hip) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Rodriguez will sit out his fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage his left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will once again be behind the plate and bat ninth for Pittsburgh.
