Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Resting up Tuesday
Edwards isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Edwards has gone 3-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list, and the Marlins will now give him a chance to rest Tuesday while Javier Sanoja starts at the keystone and Graham Pauley mans third base.

Marlins' Bradley Blalock: Rejoins Marlins' bullpen
The Marlins recalled Blalock from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
With Pete Fairbanks (hand) landing on the injured list Tuesday, the Marlins will bring Blalock back up from Triple-A to fill the void in their bullpen. The 25-year-old has given up two earned runs in six MLB innings this season but carries a 5.56 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 110 frames in the minors.

Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA
Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Placed on injured list
The Marlins placed Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right median nerve irritation.
Fairbanks has already landed on the injured list twice this season due to nerve issues in his right hand, and his third will cause his season to come to an early end. The 32-year-old picked up 19 saves while struggling to a 6.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 41.1 innings during his first year with the Marlins. Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen will both be candidates to work as Miami's closer during the season's final weeks.

Grant Holman RP | PHI
Phillies' Grant Holman: Staying put in Triple-A
Holman will remain at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, as Kyle Backhus was recalled to replace Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) on the Phillies' active roster.
The Phillies originally announced that they recalled Holman from Triple-A as a corresponding move for Luzardo landing on the IL, but the team later decided to promote Backhus instead. Holman owns a 3.60 ERA and 1.17 WHIP at the Triple-A level this season and gave up five unearned runs during his lone outing with the Phillies.

Shelby Miller RP | CHC
Cubs' Shelby Miller: Shut down for season
Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that the Cubs have shut down Miller's (elbow) rehab, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Miller has been on the shelf all season while working his way back from the second Tommy John procedure of his career, but the Cubs no longer believe it's worth pushing him to join the team's bullpen before the end of the year. The 35-year-old will now look to get healthy for the start of the 2027 campaign and provide stability to a Chicago bullpen that hasn't been very reliable this season.

Dustin Harris LF | SD
Padres' Dustin Harris: Sitting against lefty
Harris is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against Colorado.
Despite riding a modest four-game hitting streak, Harris will rest as the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to toe the slab Tuesday. Samad Taylor will man left field and bat eighth for San Diego.

Kyle Backhus RP | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Backhus: Summoned to Phillies
Philadelphia recalled Backhus from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Backhus will make his fourth stint with the big-league club after being called up Tuesday. In 21 appearances this season, the 28-year-old owns a 4.95 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB over 20 innings. Philadelphia sent Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) to the injured list, opening a roster spot for Backhus.

Tommy Troy LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Dispatched to Reno
The Diamondbacks optioned Troy to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Troy went just 1-for-8 with a run scored and three strikeouts in six games after coming off the injured list Sept. 6 and will now move back to the minors to make room for Jesus Sanchez, who was claimed off waivers from Toronto. Barring an injury to one of Arizona's position players, Troy is likely to play out the rest of the season at Reno.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Tuesday
Kelly isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Kelly will retreat to the bench to begin Tuesday's affair after going 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Monday. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties and bat ninth.
