The Brewers optioned Stallings to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Stallings is clearing off the roster to make space for new acquisition Antonio Senzatela. He's turned in eight scoreless innings for the Brewers this season, so Stallings should get another opportunity eventually.

The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the paternity list Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was scratched from the lineup Monday to attend the birth of his child, so this move to the paternity list was expected. Moreno can spend up to three days on the paternity list, so he should be back with the Diamondbacks by Friday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

The Brewers optioned Sproat to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Sproat made the Brewers' Opening Day rotation and has shown flashes this season, but the consistency hasn't been there, with the righty turning in a 5.27 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 100:48 K:BB over 95.2 innings. His spot in the Milwaukee rotation will be absorbed by Dustin May, who was acquired at Monday's trade deadline.

Urias (elbows) has been sent to Triple-A Memphis to resume a rehab assignment, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Urias had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment a little over a week ago after being hit on the elbow by a pitch. He's been out since early May with tennis elbow in both arms but could return before the end of the month if he can avoid another setback.

The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Curry has given up four runs in 11 innings during his time with the Mets this season. He will likely be used in a mop-up role.

The Nationals placed Wood on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to an oblique strain, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Manager Blake Butera labeled the strain as "mild" and hopes Wood's stint on the IL will be a brief one. The 23-year-old slugger be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 14, but it's worth noting that oblique injuries typically require lengthier absences. Andrew Pinckney was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

The Mets selected Pache's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Pache put up a .645 OPS with five homer runs and 16 steals with Syracuse this season. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a big-league game since 2024 and will serve as a depth outfielder while he's up with the Mets.

The Mets selected Lavender's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Lavender missed all of 2025 and most of 2024 due to a pair of left elbow surgeries, but he's looked sharp in the minors this season, turning in a 3.27 ERA and 53:11 K:BB over 33 innings with Syracuse. The southpaw will be making his major-league debut when/if he enters a game.

Moniak and the Rockies agreed to a two-year contract extension Tuesday.

According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the deal is worth $16.25 million and covers his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2027 and his first year of free-agent eligibility in 2028. Moniak signed with the Rockies just before Opening Day in 2025 after being cut loose by the Angels, and he's excelled at the plate for the Rockies with a .272/.310/.536 slash line and 42 homers in 210 games.

Burleson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Yankees.

Burleson had the first three-homer game of his career in Monday's win over the Yankees, but with southpaw Ryan Weathers toeing the rubber Tuesday, the left-handed-swinging Burleson will get a breather. Blaze Jordan will shift over to first base for the Cardinals, and Jose Fermin will grab a start at third base.
