Zastryzny (ribs) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and hopes to resume his rehab assignment this weekend, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Zastryzny had to be pulled off his rehab assignment Monday, but evidently the setback was deemed minor. The left-hander could be ready to rejoin the Brewers' bullpen by early August if all goes well.

Bauers (shoulder) is going through a hitting progression and hopes to begin a rehab assignment in mid-to-late-August, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Bauers had previously mentioned mid-August as a target, but it would appear he's not coming along as quickly as hoped. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since just after the All-Star break with a left shoulder impingement.

High-A Great Lakes transferred Sirota from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on July 13 after he suffered an apparent right knee injury while sliding into a base July 5, Bruce Kuntz of DodgersDigest.com reports.

Though it's not clear if Sirota will require surgery, his 2025 season is likely over, unless he makes it back for the Arizona Fall League. He may have been promoted to Double-A Tulsa at some point this summer if he hadn't suffered the injury, as he was slashing .316/.458/.556 with six home runs and four steals in 35 games for Great Lakes.

Suarez (finger) had an MRI and CT scan come back negative Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury after being hit by a pitch on the right index finger Monday. The injury still clouds the third baseman's outlook ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, but his potential return to the lineup Wednesday could help facilitate a deal. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, manager Torey Lovullo wouldn't commit to Suarez being available to pinch hit Tuesday, but it sounds as though he could be utilized if he can test out his swing with no issues.

The Marlins selected Johnston's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Johnston earned his first-ever major-league promotion after putting together a .252/.333/.439 batting line with 12 homers and 31 steals at Jacksonville. The 28-year-old will provide depth at first base and the corner outfield spots.

Edman (ankle) will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's contest versus the Reds.

Edman was absent from Monday's lineup due to a right ankle injury he suffered over the weekend, but he tested the ankle out pregame Tuesday and felt well enough to give it a go. The switch hitter is slashing a woeful .150/.239/.200 in July.

The Dodgers placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder bursitis.

Kim has been nursing the shoulder problem for more than a week, and while he was in the Dodgers' lineup Monday in Cincinnati, the team has ultimately decided it's best for the 26-year-old to rest for a bit. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Kim will head back to Los Angeles to receive an injection and will be shut down for a few days, but there's optimism he won't be sidelined for too long.

The Dodgers selected Freeland's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

One of the team's top prospects, Freeland earned a promotion after slashing .253/.377/.421 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases at Oklahoma City. The switch hitter should see some action in the infield with Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list and with Tommy Edman (ankle) banged up. Freeland's stint in the majors could be short, however, as Max Muncy (knee) is due back from the injured list soon.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Gurriel has gone 4-for-12 over the past three games but is without an extra-base hit since July 9 and has a .658 OPS through 20 games this month. Jake McCarthy will instead start in left field and bat sixth versus Detroit righty Casey Mize.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

He'll provide a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for five innings in Monday's win over the Cubs. McGee has allowed two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over seven innings during his time in the majors this season.
