Triple-A Syracuse placed Pintaro on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified injury.

Pintaro may have sustained the injury in his most recent appearance Wednesday, when he covered two innings out of the bullpen in one of the Mets' doubleheader games versus the Cubs. The right-hander had been serving as the Mets' 27th man for the twin bill and was returned to Syracuse a day later.

The Mets outrighted Short to Triple-A Syracuse after he cleared waivers Saturday.

Short no longer possesses a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster, but he'll stick around in the organization as infield depth at the Triple-A level. The 31-year-old has appeared in 26 games in the majors this season between the Tigers and Mets, slashing .159/.278/.205 across 55 plate appearances.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Blue Jays.

The star shortstop supplied the only offense for the Mets in a 2-1 loss, taking Trey Yesavage deep in the seventh inning to spoil a shutout bid for Toronto. Lindor has hit safely in three straight games as he regains his form following a two-month layoff due to a calf strain, but on the season he still sports a disappointing .679 OPS with three homers and two steals in 28 contests.

Edwards went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Rockies.

The 26-year-old infielder stole a bag for a second straight game while extending his current hitting streak to eight games. Over that span, Edwards is batting .400 (12-for-30) with a double, a triple, two steals, three RBI and three runs, and on the season he's swiped 13 bags in 16 attempts over 85 contests, keeping him in range of a third straight campaign with 25 or more steals.

Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a hit by pitch, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

It was a typically wild night at Coors Field, and the Marlins produced multiple runs in three separate innings en route to a 10-7 victory. Stowers was in the thick of all three offensive outbursts as he shows signs of shaking off his June malaise. Over the last eight games, the 28-year-old is batting .276 (8-for-29) with five extra-base hits, five runs and five RBI.

Waldrep is a likely candidate to join the Atlanta rotation in the near future, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old right-hander was added to the 26-man roster Friday and threw 55 pitches over two relief innings that day, working behind Reynaldo Lopez. Lopez's next start is scheduled for Wednesday and manager Walt Weiss has hinted that the duo could be piggybacked, but Atlanta is also likely looking for ways to get Bryce Elder some extra rest, as he showed reduced velocity in his last start and has struggled over the second half of June. Once Waldrep is further stretched out, he could join a six-man rotation that gets the team through to the All-Star break -- Atlanta doesn't get another day off before the break once they begin a series against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Elder's velocity was down about one mph on all his pitches in his most recent start, and Atlanta is likely to look for opportunities to give him extra rest, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has looked fatigued over his last three starts, coughing up 19 runs in 14 innings on 27 hits, including five homers. Atlanta's rotation is already missing multiple members, however, and depth is an issue. Hurston Waldrep, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett this past weekend and threw 55 pitches over two innings of relief behind Reynaldo Lopez on Friday, could be an option to make a spot start and buy Elder an extra day of rest.

Greene (elbow) rejoined the Reds for the beginning of the team's road trip in Milwaukee on Monday and said that he expects to return from the 60-day injured list to start either Friday or Saturday versus the Orioles in Cincinnati, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

While Greene won't be activated until later this week, his rehab assignment has officially come to an end. Greene, who had surgery March 11 to remove bone chips from his right elbow, looked dominant over his three rehab starts (two at Triple-A Louisville, one in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League). During his final outing with Louisville on Sunday, Greene struck out four and allowed just one baserunner over 6.1 innings while building his pitch count up to 82, so he should be ready to handle a typical starter's workload in his 2026 Reds debut. Cincinnati is listing Brady Singer as its probable starter for Friday, so Greene appears to be trending toward pitching Saturday.

Friedl entered Monday's game to play center field after Dane Myers (shoulder) was removed in the fourth inning. The former went 0-for-2 in a 5-3 loss to the Brewers.

With a lefty on the mound for Milwaukee, Friedl opened the game on the bench. The Reds have lost two center fielders over the last several days with with Myers joining Blake Dunn (elbow, IL) as unavailable. Friedl was called up Sunday in the wake of Dunn's injury -- he went 0-for-4 in that day's game -- and will operate as the primary center fielder for now while the club gets a better read on Myers' status.

Troy started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over San Francisco.

Troy singled and scored on Geraldo Perdomo's bases-clearing double in the fifth inning. It was the seventh consecutive start in center field for Troy, who's made a quick transition from left field since Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) was felled by injury. The Diamondbacks also have Jorge Barrosa, who was a late defensive replacement there Monday, but Troy's bat won out and moved him to the top of the depth chart.
