The Marlins recalled Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Mike Baumann, who has been placed on the paternity list. Maldonado, 26, holds a 6.75 ERA and 11:5 K:BB across 16 frames with the big club this season.

The Marlins placed Baumann on the paternity list Tuesday.

Baumann will likely miss the three-game series with the Twins before rejoining the team this weekend in Toronto. He has allowed 10 runs but boasts a 17:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings since being claimed off waivers by the Marlins last month.

The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

He was just called up Monday but will be sent back down to make room for waiver claim Enoli Paredes, who has officially joined the active roster. Hollowell had a 1.1-inning scoreless relief appearance during his lone day with the big club.

The Cardinals recalled Scott from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Scott is replacing Luken Baker, who went on paternity leave. It's not clear how much, if any, playing time Scott will receive, and his stay might last only a few days while Baker is away.

The Cardinals placed Baker on the paternity list Tuesday.

Baker will likely miss the entirety of the three-game series in Colorado before rejoining the club this weekend in San Francisco. Victor Scott is taking Baker's spot on the Cardinals' roster.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Riley (hand) won't return this season, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

The 27-year-old underwent a CT scan Monday which showed that his hand fracture is healing slower than expected, which will prevent Riley from having a chance to take the field again this season. Atlanta is currently 1.5 games back of the final wild-card spot in the National League, but Riley won't be an option to play even if the team makes a playoff run. The third baseman closes out 2024 with 19 homers, 56 RBI, 63 runs and a .256/.322/.461 slash line in 110 games.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Phillies clinched the NL East title with a win over the Cubs on Monday, but Realmuto's absence from the lineup Tuesday likely has more to do with the fact that he started the previous five games. Garrett Stubbs will do the catching for opener Tanner Banks.

Moreno (adductor) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers and didn't play Monday versus the Giants due to left adductor tightness. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one as the Diamondbacks look to even the series.

Mitchell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

With lefty Bailey Falter on the bump for the Pirates, the left-handed-hitting Mitchell will sit this one out. Blake Perkins will be in center field and Gary Sanchez will be at designated hitter for the Brewers.

The Phillies activated Hays (kidney) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Hays missed the last three weeks of action with battling a kidney infection. He should operate as the Phillies' primary left fielder, with Brandon Marsh shifting over to center field most days.
