The Rockies optioned Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Pint will head back to the minors after surrendering four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning Wednesday against Arizona. He owns a 3.10 ERA through 29 frames in Triple-A and could still be an option to return to Colorado's bullpen later in the season, but he'll likely need to turn in some positive results in the minors first.

Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Nats will send out left-hander Mitchell Parker to start Thursday's contest, so the left-handed-hitting Marsh will step out of the starting nine. While he rests, Weston Wilson, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will start across the outfield.

Brasier (calf) is likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Brasier last pitched for the Dodgers on April 27, and he was placed on the IL two days later due to a right calf strain. He's looked great since beginning a minor-league rehab assignment in late July, pitching eight scoreless innings and posting a 12:1 K:BB over eight appearances. Brasier may be held to lower-leverage situations upon his return to the majors in order to shake off any rust, but he could rise up the bullpen pecking order if he fares well.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Murphy will take a seat for the series finale after he caught all nine innings of Wednesday's 13-2 win while going 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Travis d'Arnaud will replace Murphy behind the plate and bat fifth.

Conforto is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Conforto will hit the bench for the second time in the series while Atlanta sends another southpaw in Max Fried to the bump. Jerar Encarnacion will spell Conforto in left field.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

With southpaw Max Fried toeing the rubber for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Wisely will exit the starting nine. Platoon mate Casey Schmitt will check in for Wisely at the keystone.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a run in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.

Freeman recorded his fourth multi-hit game over his past seven contests, a span in which he's batting .345 with a homer, four RBI and a stolen base. The star first baseman has boosted his season batting average up to .291 as he attempts to finish with a .300 mark for the fifth consecutive campaign. Freeman has added 17 long balls, 71 RBI, 68 runs and six thefts over 113 games.

Wade is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

He'll retreat to the bench while Atlanta sends southpaw Max Fried to the bump for the series finale. Mark Canha will replace Wade at first base and bat second.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Bailey will get some maintenance as San Francisco and Atlanta wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Curt Casali will draw the start behind the dish after Bailey caught each of the past five days while going 2-for-20 at the plate.

McCray went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 13-2 loss to Atlanta.

McCray's major-league debut was a forgettable one for both him and his team. The outfielder slashed .272/.347/.471 over 47 games with Triple-A Sacramento this year after earning a midseason promotion from Double-A Richmond. McCray's strong defense makes him a candidate to play regularly in center field. The Giants moved Heliot Ramos to left field and Michael Conforto to designated hitter Wednesday, which could be the usual alignment versus right-handers moving forward, as long as McCray plays well enough to keep his spot in the lineup.
