The Diamondbacks recalled Pfaadt from Triple-A Reno ahead of his start Tuesday against the Giants.

Pfaadt owns a 5.92 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 38 innings in the majors this season, but he's given up just three runs (two earned) in 10 frames since being sent down to Reno on June 4. He'll now rejoin Arizona's rotation and make his first start since April 11 against a Giants offense that's turned in a .686 OPS across its last 10 games. Juan Burgos was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Ashcraft is expected to resume throwing soon after receiving good news Tuesday regarding the imaging on his injured right elbow UCL, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Ashcraft landed on the 60-day injured list in late May with a UCL sprain, but a platelet-rich plasma injection earlier this month seems to have helped the ligament heal. It will take time for Ashcraft to be built back up, and there is a real possibility of a setback when the UCL is involved. However, Tuesday's news gives him a chance to return at some point during the second half.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the

Lowe posted a .690 OPS and 29.2 percent strikeout rate while starting the previous 19 games, but he'll hit the bench Tuesday with ace lefty Cristopher Sanchez pitching for Philadelphia. Nick Gonzales will shift to second base while Jared Triolo receives a start at the hot corner.

The Diamondbacks optioned Burgos to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Burgos gave up one run in 1.1 innings during his lone appearance since joining the big club Thursday. He'll now head back to Triple-A in order to make room on the active roster for Brandon Pfaadt, who is set to start Tuesday's game against San Francisco.

Greene (elbow) will make his season debut for the Reds on Saturday versus the Orioles, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Manager Terry Francona had said previously that Greene would take the ball either Friday or Saturday, and it's now official that the hard-throwing righty will pitch on Independence Day. Brady Singer will get the start in Friday's series opener. Greene is coming back from arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow, which he underwent in mid-March. The hurler was excellent in three rehab starts, posting a 13:2 K:BB over 14.1 scoreless innings. Greene logged 82 pitches and 6.1 frames in his final rehab outing, so he should be prepared for close to a full workload Saturday.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

O'Hearn started the previous 16 games -- included two versus left-handed pitchers -- but will take a seat after posting a .300/.310/.500 slash line with five doubles, three homers and 17 RBI during that span. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter against Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez.

McLain worked out in center field pregame Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The Reds have lost Blake Dunn (elbow) and Dane Myers (shoulder) indefinitely, creating a need for a right-handed-hitting center fielder. McLain has never played the outfield in pro ball, but he was used there extensively in college at UCLA and also saw some action in center field during the Arizona Fall League. Edwin Arroyo has surged past McLain as the Reds' top option at second base versus righties, so McLain proving capable in the outfield would give him another path to playing time.

Keller (forearm) completed a live batting practice session Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Phillies manager Don Mattingly said that Keller's next time throwing could be in a rehab game. The reliever looks to be on track to rejoin the big-league bullpen before the All-Star break. He's missed the last two weeks of action with right forearm tendinitis.

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

The right-hander is getting his first promotion to the majors after posting a 3.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 61:22 K:BB across 67 innings for Nashville this season. Stallings has started in 12 of his 17 appearances at Triple-A this year, but he's likely to work out of the bullpen with the big club.

Parker has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 UCL sprain in his left elbow and is likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

A full Tommy John repair could sideline Parker until 2028, though he would have a chance to make it back late in the 2027 season if all goes well. The left-hander has collected a 6.58 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 39.2 innings out of the Washington bullpen this season. Parker is slated for arbitration eligibility for the first time this coming offseason, though he could be a non-tender candidate.
