Musgrove (elbow) joined the Padres in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, and manager Mike Shildt said there's a "high probability" the pitcher returns from the 60-day injured list this weekend in Miami, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Musgrove went 3.1 innings and threw 43 pitches in his first rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday and said Tuesday that he feels "physically ready" to rejoin the Padres rotation. He'll likely be limited to just 4-to-5 frames against the Marlins in what will be his first start at the big-league level since late May. Musgrove has been sidelined with a bone spur and bone bruise in his right elbow.

The Rockies assigned Condon to High-A Spokane on Tuesday.

Condon is arguably the top player from the 2024 First-Year Player Draft for dynasty leagues, and he will be making his professional debut in the Midwest League. Spokane has a hitter-friendly home park, and the caliber of pitching at High-A at this point in the season is pretty poor, so Condon could put up monster numbers for as long as he remains with Spokane. A promotion to Double-A Hartford before season's end isn't out of the question.

Lopez (forearm) began playing catch Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lopez exited his start July 28 with forearm tightness and Atlanta was hopeful that the injury wouldn't require an IL stay. However, Lopez was officially placed on the injured list Monday. Still, he was able to resume his throwing program Tuesday, an encouraging sign for the 30-year-old, who'll be eligible for reinstatement Aug. 17.

Kim was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to soreness in his right triceps, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kim began to feel soreness in his triceps Monday and the pain remained while he swung a bat Tuesday. The issue was bothering him enough to warrant a rest day, though it's unclear if he'll require additional time off. Kim should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

McCutchen (quadriceps) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Padres.

The 37-year-old was withheld from Sunday's starting nine after he tweaked his quad during Saturday's contest, but he'll make a quick return to the lineup Tuesday. McCutchen has a .240/.345/.360 slash line with one homer and an 8:14 BB:K in 14 games since the All-Star break.

Luciano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Luciano has gone 3-for-17 with a double and eight strikeouts in five games since being called up by the Giants last week, and he'll sit Sunday for the second time in the past three contests. Mark Canha will bat fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday at Washington.

Kim was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim was initially slated to bat sixth and play shortstop Tuesday, but he'll instead take a seat for the contest. The reason for Kim's removal from the starting nine is unknown. Tyler Wade will step into the lineup at shortstop.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With the Giants facing a left-hander for the second straight game, Wisely will take a seat once again Tuesday. In his place, Casey Schmitt will bat ninth and play second base.

The Rockies selected Shreve's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Shreve was just inked to a minor-league deal Sunday and is now in the majors two days later. The veteran left-hander has been at the Triple-A level all season, posting a 2.62 ERA and 35:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings across three different organizations.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yastrzemski will avoid a matchup with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on Monday. Michael Conforto, Heliot Ramos and Jerar Encarnacion will fill the outfield from left to right.
