Trivino allowed five earned runs on three hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk over two-thirds of an inning in Tuesday's 11-3 loss to Milwaukee. He also hit one batter.

The veteran reliever entered the game for Jordan Hicks in the sixth, inheriting two runners with no outs. Trivino retired the first batter he faced, but things unraveled from there, as he surrendered a grand slam and a two-run home run before being pulled. The right-hander now owns a 6.97 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 10:5 K:BB across 10.1 innings in nine appearances this season.

Villar went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk during Tuesday's 11-3 loss to the Brewers.

Villar posted his first extra-base hit of the season, cracking a double into right field in the third before coming around to score the Giants' first run. The 28-year-old infielder will likely continue to receive playing time against lefties, as Casey Schmitt (oblique) is expected to miss about a month. Villar has appeared in two big-league games this season, going 2-for-7 with three runs scored and a 1:1 BB:K.

Hicks will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Though Hicks is back behind the dish for the series finale, his recent run as the Marlins' primary backstop seems to have come to an end after Miami promoted Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. If Ramirez performs well enough to earn a permanent stay in Miami, Hicks -- a Rule 5 selection -- could end up being offered back to Tigers if the Marlins don't have a spot on the roster for him once Nick Fortes (oblique) returns from the injured list.

Johnson has been moved to a relief role at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Johnson made his first appearance out of the bullpen Tuesday, touching 98 mph across two scoreless innings with a 2:2 K:BB. The 26-year-old has a big arm but has struggled to stay healthy and throw strikes consistently, so the Phillies' decision to shift him to a relief role makes sense.

Gomez (elbow) has made two appearances for Single-A St. Lucie this season, covering 4.2 scoreless innings and allowing three hits and five walks while striking out seven.

Gomez missed most of the 2023 season and all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the 23-year-old righty received a clean bill of health in advance of the 2025 campaign. He's had some issues with control in his first two outings, but that's not unexpected coming off a major arm operation.

Acuna is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Acuna will take a seat after he had started at second base in each of the last four games while going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk and three runs scored. Brett Baty will get the nod at the keystone Wednesday, but both he and Acuna may see their opportunities trend downward once Jeff McNeil (oblique) makes his return from the injured list, likely this weekend.

Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Torrens will take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Hayden Senger to pick up a start behind the dish. Though he's been operating as the Mets' primary backstop this season, Torrens' playing time will soon take a hit with Francisco Alvarez (hand) poised to return from the 10-day injured list this weekend.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Kepler will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Bryson Stott while the Mets send lefty David Peterson to the hill. Weston Wilson will check in for Kepler in left field.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Stott will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter Max Kepler while the Mets send lefty David Peterson to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will check in for Stott at second base.

Gonzalez will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

He'll stick in the lineup for the eighth consecutive game after going 7-for-24 with a double and two RBI over the prior seven contests. With all of Jackson Merrill (hamstring), Brandon Lockridge (hamstring), Jason Heyward (knee) Jake Cronenworth (ribs) and Luis Arraez (concussion) on the injured list, Gonzalez could be in store for a near-everyday role until San Diego gets at least a couple of those players back in action.
