Snelling is part of the prospect package going from San Diego to Miami in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Snelling is the youngest qualified pitcher at Double-A, which helps explain some of his struggles this season. He had a 6.01 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 67:33 K:BB in 73.1 innings across 16 starts in the Texas League. Snelling has been capable of strong performances this year, including several starts in which he allowed one earned run or fewer with five-plus strikeouts over at least five innings, but he has lacked consistency, mixing in multiple starts in which he gave up more runs than innings pitched. The Marlins will likely assign Snelling to Double-A Pensacola, and if he can display more consistency, he could join the big-league rotation at some point in 2025.

The Padres acquired Scott and Bryan Hoeing from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Scott has been viewed as the best reliever that was expected to be traded at the deadline and will help give the Padres a stellar back end of the bullpen along with Robert Suarez and Jason Adam. It's not clear yet how manager Mike Shildt plans to handle the closer role.

Ross (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game versus Atlanta, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Though Ross will slot into the Milwaukee rotation and will make his first start for the big club since May 20, he may be headed to the bullpen once trade-deadline acquisition Frankie Montas officially joins the roster. Ross was torched for 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings in his final two rehab starts at Triple-A Nashville and posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over nine outings with Milwaukee prior to being shelved, so he'll be difficult to trust as a streaming option.

The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

With the Rockies dealing Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks at the trade deadline, Chivilli will join the 26-man roster for the second time in his career. The 21-year-old made five appearances with Colorado in June, surrendering three home runs in 5.1 innings en route to an 8.44 ERA.

The Mets acquired Blackburn from the Athletics on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Kade Morris, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Mets have been on the lookout for rotation reinforcements and have found one in Blackburn. The right-hander returned this past Friday from a stint on the 60-day injured list due to a stress reaction in his right foot, allowing four runs over five innings in his first start back with Oakland. Overall, Blackburn has posted a 4.41 ERA and 38:14 K:BB across 51 frames covering nine starts in 2024. He'll be under team control through 2025.

Maile (back) was sent to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday.

The 33-year-old landed on the shelf in early July with a herniated disc and was hoping to return just after the All-Star break, but his absence is now approaching a month. Maile still shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment, so he could be back with the Reds within the next week.

The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Despite being optioned to Louisville on Monday, Zulueta is eligible to rejoin the big-league roster after the team made a pair of trades. Cincinnati is slated for a bullpen game Tuesday against the Cubs, and Zulueta could be utilized for an inning or two. The 26-year-old has allowed one run in five MLB innings this season and has logged a 2.18 ERA at Triple-A.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Richardson is a good bet to handle bulk-relief duty following opener Tony Santillan in Tuesday's game versus the Cubs. The right-hander was up briefly with the Reds last week but did not make an appearance. He's posted a 4.48 ERA and 82:54 K:BB over 88.1 frames with Louisville this season.

The Giants are expected to recall Birdsong from Single-A San Jose in the near future, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After he was returned to the minors upon serving as the Giants' 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Birdsong's next opportunity to return to the big leagues appeared to be in flux while Alex Cobb (hip/blister) was on the cusp of returning from the 60-day injured list. However, with Cobb being dealt to the Guardians on Tuesday, Birdsong now looks set to rejoin the Giants the next time the team needs a fifth starter. Birdsong, who has a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 25.2 innings over his last five MLB starts, could be recalled as soon as this weekend to make a start in Cincinnati.

Alvarez (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez is dealing with shoulder soreness in his non-throwing arm and will be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Luis Torrens will catch and bat eighth Tuesday.
