Reds' Brandon Williamson: Shifts to 60-day injured list
The Reds transferred Williamson (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Ian Gibaut, who was activated from the 60-day IL. Williamson is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, which is likely to sideline him until 2026.

Reds' Jonathan India: Enters concussion protocol after HBP
India exited in the bottom of the seventh inning of Tuesday's game versus the Guardians and is in concussion protocol after being hit in the head by a pitch, Bally Sports Cincinnati reports.
India initially remained in the game after being beaned with a Tanner Bibee pitch in the fifth inning, but he was later removed. For what it's worth, India indicated after the contest that he expects to be fine, but he will be monitored closely. India went 0-for-1 with a walk before departing.

Justin Steele SP | CHC
Cubs' Justin Steele: Goes four innings against Phillies
Steele didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits over four innings. He struck out three without issuing a walk.
Steele only threw 62 pitches Tuesday as he continues to work his way back from a three-week absence due to elbow tendinitis. The left-hander will likely wrap up an injury-hampered campaign with a 3.07 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 135:37 K:BB across 134.2 innings.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Starts Tuesday
Marte started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double in Tuesday's 11-0 loss to the Giants.
Marte was held out of Monday's starting lineup, as manager Torey Lovullo indicated the second baseman had been grinding and was in the "red zone." With four games left in the regular season and a playoff spot to be won, Marte is expected to be in the starting lineup every day.

Ryne Nelson SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Throws side session
Nelson (shoulder) threw 28 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Nelson has now completed two side sessions since landing on the injured list, after the right-hander previously threw a 16-pitch session Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is undecided about whether Nelson could return to the starting rotation or be used as a multi-inning reliever once he makes his way back from the IL. With four games left in the regular season, the bullpen is probably a more realistic landing spot for Nelson if he gets activated.

Aaron Schunk 3B | ATL
Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Goes yard in loss
Schunk went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Schunk's playing time remains inconsistent, but he has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-16 in that span. The infielder is up to a .228/.265/.342 slash line with two homers, five RBI, 12 runs scored and three doubles over 83 plate appearances in the majors this season. He's also struck out at a 30.1 percent rate, which has limited his effectiveness when he gets a look in the lineup.

Mike Siani CF | BAL
Cardinals' Michael Siani: Reaches 20-steal mark
Siani went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.
Amid a 4-for-37 skid over his last 13 games, Siani's playing time has taken a hit. He's still picked up five steals over his last 15 contests, giving him 20 thefts on 23 attempts this season. The center fielder is at a .237/.286/.296 slash line with two home runs, 20 RBI and 40 runs scored through 119 games. While his defense has kept him in the lineup regularly, Siani could lose playing time to Victor Scott while the latter is on the major-league roster.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Powers offense Tuesday
Winn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.
Winn's first multi-hit effort since Sept. 13 ended up generating over half of the Cardinals' runs in the game. The shortstop has three homers, three doubles and six RBI over his last 11 contests. For the season, he's at a .266/.313/.411 slash line, 15 homers, 55 RBI, 78 runs scored, 29 doubles and 11 stolen bases over 146 contests.

Andrew Kittredge RP | BAL
Cardinals' Andrew Kittredge: Snags fifth win
Kittredge (5-5) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
Kittredge has earned three of his five wins this season in September, allowing just two runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out 14 over 13 innings this month. The right-handed reliever was the beneficiary of the Cardinals' go-ahead rally in the eighth inning Tuesday. He's now at a 2.88 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB while adding a save and 36 holds through 68.2 innings this season.

Michael McGreevy SP | STL
Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: No-decision at Colorado
McGreevy allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
McGreevy left the game down 3-2, but the Cardinals were able to rally ahead to get him off the hook. The rookie has pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over his first 15 innings in the majors, and this was the first time in three appearances (two starts) he didn't come away with a win. McGreevy is tentatively projected to start the Cardinals' season finale in San Francisco on Sunday.
