Pfaadt (6-6) earned the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

Pfaadt held Cleveland without a hit through his first four innings before Josh Naylor led off the fifth with a solo home run. The Guardians would add three more hits in the frame, but Pfaadt was able to limit the damage to just one additional run. The 25-year-old right-hander has been sharp of late, pitching to a 2.66 ERA in his last seven starts. Overall, Pfaadt sports a 3.92 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP and 124:29 K:BB across 137.2 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the Rockies at home early next week in his next outing.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales is toeing the rubber for the Pirates, offering the Padres a chance to give the left-handed-hitting Cronenworth a day of rest. Donovan Solano will occupy first base in his stead.

Kim (triceps) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim will miss a second straight start while dealing with soreness in his right triceps. The Padres are considering the infielder day-to-day. Tyler Wade will garner another start at shortstop Wednesday in Kim's stead.

The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Pereda will move up to the big leagues for the third time this season and will likely serve as the understudy to Ali Sanchez, who is expected to take over as the Marlins' No. 1 catcher after Nick Fortes (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list. During his previous stints with the Marlins, Sanchez appeared in just five games and went hitless in five at-bats. He's been productive in a part-time role at Jacksonville this season, slashing .310/.418/.458 over 184 plate appearances.

The Marlins placed Fortes on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right quadriceps strain.

Miami recalled Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will likely have him operate as the No. 2 option at catcher behind Ali Sanchez, who will make a second straight start Wednesday in place of Fortes. The 27-year-old Fortes had slashed .219/.246/.288 with two home runs, 18 RBI and 16 runs in 78 games before apparently suffering the injury at some point during his most recent start in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

The Reds optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Wiemer was with the big club for a few days while Will Benson was on paternity leave, but Wiemer will now head back to the minors with Benson back in the fold. During his brief time with the Reds, Wiemer drew a walk in his lone plate appearance.

The Reds activated Benson (personal) from the paternity list Wednesday.

Benson missed the last three games while welcoming a new member to his family. He's not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami with right-hander Valente Bellozo on the mound for the Marlins, but Benson will be available off the bench. Benson has held down a strong-side platoon role for much of the season, but he may be in store for fewer opportunities against right-handed pitching following the Reds' recent acquisition of Ty France.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Giants, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Ruiz was due for a day off after catching each of the previous eight games. Riley Adams will be behind the plate for the Nationals on Wednesday.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

The left-handed-hitting Garcia has been scorching hot lately, but with lefty Blake Snell on the bump for the Giants, Garcia will begin the contest on the bench. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at second base and bat fifth.

Brujan is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Brujan has now been out of the lineup each of the last three times the Marlins have faced a left-hander. He's started just two games in center field and five of 12 overall since Jazz Chisholm was traded to the Yankees on July 27. Cristian Pache will draw the start in center field Wednesday.
