Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in his major-league debut Monday against the Royals.

Arroyo was called up earlier Monday to take the roster spot of the injured Elly De La Cruz (hamstring). It will be Matt McLain sliding over to shortstop Monday to cover for Cruz, while Arroyo will settle in at McLain's old second-base spot. Arroyo earned a promotion after hitting .323/.383/.562 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases for Louisville.

The Reds scratched Burns from his scheduled start Monday against the Royals due to an illness.

Cincinnati will turn to right-hander Lyon Richardson to serve as their opening pitcher for Monday's contest in what will likely be an impromptu bullpen day as a result of Burns feeling under the weather. The severity of Burns' ailment isn't known at this time, making it unclear if the right-hander will merely be pushed back a day or two in the pitching schedule or if he'll have his turn through the rotation skipped entirely. After entering spring training with some uncertainty whether he would be part of the Reds' Opening Day rotation, Burns has been Cincinnati's top starter so far this season, posting a 7-1 record, 1.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 72:20 K:BB over 64.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Smith (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Smith has been cleared to rejoin the Diamondbacks ahead of their seven-game homestand after he went 7-for-21 with a double and a 1:5 BB:K during a five-game minor-league rehab assignment last week. The 30-year-old played in just two contests for Arizona before landing on the IL on March 30 due to left elbow inflammation caused by bone chips, which he had removed via surgery April 16. Smith is expected to reclaim a regular spot in the Arizona lineup versus right-handed pitching, displacing either Adrian Del Castillo at designated hitter or Ildemaro Vargas at first base.

The Giants selected Ramos' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Ramos earned a look from the big club after turning in a 2.00 ERA and 27:7 K:BB over 27 innings with Sacramento. The 25-year-old reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he enters a game.

The Diamondbacks optioned Tawa to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Tawa has been on the Arizona roster all season but hasn't played much, particularly in May with only four starts and 19 plate appearances. He's clearing out to make space on the roster for Pavin Smith (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

The Marlins transferred Conine (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the Marlins, who selected the contract of right-hander Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Conine's timeline for rejoining the Marlins won't be affected, as he's been out since early April following left hamstring surgery. According to MLB.com, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Monday that Conine has been hitting and throwing and is currently running at 70 percent intensity, so the 28-year-old outfielder could be moving closer to a rehab assignment.

The Marlins transferred Nardi (ribcage) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Nardi's move to the 60-day IL is merely procedural, as Marlins manager Clayton McCullough relayed Sunday that the lefty reliever was expected to miss around three months after recently suffering a left ribcage stress reaction. Right-hander Tyler Zuber was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville and will take over Nardi's spot on the 40-man roster.

The Marlins selected Zuber's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

The 30-year-old reliever made 10 appearances at the big-league level in 2025 between stops with the Marlins and Mets, but he had been pitching exclusively at the Triple-A level this season before receiving a promotion. Though Zuber posted an eye-popping 33.9 K% in 27.2 innings at Triple-A, he struggled to keep the ball in the yard (six home runs allowed) and walked 12.6 percent of the batters he faced. The Marlins have nonetheless opted to bring Zuber aboard as a fresh arm in relief after the team needed six pitchers plus position player Javier Sanoja to cover eight innings during an impromptu bullpen game in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Mets.

The Marlins optioned White to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

White had a shaky major-league debut Sunday against the Mets, walking four batters, hitting one with a pitch and getting charged with five runs while recording one out. Better days are likely ahead for White, but he'll return to Jacksonville for now and wait for another opportunity.

The Marlins selected Brzykcy's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Miami will bring Brzykcy aboard as a replacement in the bullpen for right-hander Josh Ekness (calf), who was spotted using crutches in the Marlins' clubhouse following Sunday's loss to the Mets before being placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Brzykcy has previously made 32 appearances at the big-league level -- all with the Nationals -- over the past two seasons, logging a 10.05 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 28.2 innings. He's been sharper at Jacksonville so far in 2026 with a 4.79 ERA and 24:12 K:BB across 20.2 innings, but the Marlins aren't likely to turn to Brzykcy in high-leverage spots right away.
