Brewers' Sal Frelick: Comes off injured list
The Brewers reinstated Frelick (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, though he's not in the lineup against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The outfielder has been on the shelf since just after the All-Star break due to a shoulder strain, and he's now back on the active roster after posting a .951 OPS with four doubles and two homers during a 10-game rehab assignment. Frelick's .631 OPS through 90 games this season would be a career worst, so he may need to improve his offensive production to fend off Luis Lara for playing time.

Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Officially recalled from Memphis
The Cardinals recalled Gorman from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
He'll fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Masyn Winn (thumb). Gorman has slashed .182/.328/.430 with 13 home runs in 46 games since being demoted to Memphis, with seven of those long balls coming in August. He could see some action at third base for the Cardinals but is not guaranteed regular playing time.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Moves to IL with fracture
The Cardinals placed Winn on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 22, due to a left thumb fracture.
It was reported earlier Tuesday that Winn would be placed on the injured list, but the full extent of the injury wasn't previously disclosed. Despite the diagnosis, the Cardinals don't expect the 24-year-old shortstop to miss an extended period of time, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Nolan Gorman was called up to fill the open roster spot for St. Louis.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Taking seat Tuesday
Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox
Stowers went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and two strikeouts Monday in his first game back from a hamstring injury, and it appears the Marlins are easing him back into action with a day off Tuesday. Leo Jimenez is filling in at first base and batting sixth versus Boston lefty Payton Tolle.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Exiting starting nine
Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
It's the second straight game out of the lineup for Alvarez, who has split his time between catcher (10 starts) and designated hitter (five starts) this month. Luis Torrens will be behind the plate, and Eric Wagaman will slot in at DH for the Mets on Tuesday.

Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Ready for rehab games
The Reds sent Ashcraft (elbow) to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Ashcraft is finally ready to test things out in games after being sidelined since late May with a sprained UCL in his right elbow. Given the length of his layoff, the reliever will likely need a handful of rehab outings before being reinstated.
