Falter (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Falter has been out since early July with left triceps tendinitis but is feeling well enough to kick off a rehab assignment. The left-hander could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list by early next week if his outing goes well Wednesday, but an additional rehab outing might be a likelier outcome.

The Rockies reinstated Bryant (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Bryant has been on the shelf since June 6 due to a left oblique strain, but after playing in three rehab games with Triple-A Albuquerque, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. The 32-year-old slashed .186/.307/.279 in 101 plate appearances with Colorado prior to the injury and should slot into a regular DH role while occasionally filling in at first base. Sean Bouchard was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Garrett (elbow) hopes to be ready to throw a bullpen session by this weekend, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Garrett began throwing on flat ground over a weekend, so it would seem to be a good sign that he could progress to mound work soon. The reliever has been out of commission for the last two weeks with right elbow inflammation. He might require a rehab appearance or two before being activated.

Rios signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Rios was designated for assignment Friday and elected free agency. However, after spending the weekend testing the open market, he'll return to the Reds organization on a minor-league pact. The 30-year-old slashed .236/.333/.483 in 204 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville.

Jones (lat) is hoping to be ready to throw a bullpen session by this weekend, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Jones threw on flat ground Tuesday for the second day in a row and on Wednesday he will throw off the front slope of the mound. If that goes well, it sounds like he could be cleared to begin throwing off a mound this weekend. Jones is working his way back from a Grade 2 right lat strain, an injury he suffered in early July.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker confirmed Tuesday that Winans will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Wednesday versus the Reds, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Winans is taking the rotation spot vacated by the injured Max Fried (forearm). Winans was rocked for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start with Atlanta earlier this season, but he boasts a 2.74 ERA and 75:22 K:BB across 82 frames in 2024 at Gwinnett. Winans might be needed for additional starts but will need to pitch well to continue seeing opportunities.

Marsh (elbow) will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus the Twins.

Marsh had to sit out Monday's contest with some right elbow soreness, but it was viewed as a minor issue and he's back in there a day later. The 26-year-old enters Tuesday's game having gone hitless across his last six tilts.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

With Christian Scott (elbow) headed to the injured list, Young, who was claimed off waivers Wednesday from San Francisco, will join the 26-man roster and make his Mets debut. The left-hander has logged two big-league innings this season, yielding four hits and no runs with a pair of strikeouts. He'll serve out of the bullpen for the Mets.

The Mets placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a UCL sprain in his right elbow.

The severity of the sprain is not known at this time, but it's an injury that can lead to Tommy John surgery. Even if an operation isn't required, the young right-hander is likely to miss significant time. Scott has not been as sharp since rejoining the Mets' rotation earlier this month, posting a 5.49 ERA and 14:6 K:BB over 19.2 innings covering four starts. Kodai Senga (shoulder) is set to rejoin the rotation later this week, so the Mets could just revert to a standard five-man setup while Scott is out.

Hernandez was transferred to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Hernandez was outrighted to the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday but was moved to Triple-A. The 26-year-old lefty appeared in seven games with the Pirates before being traded to the Dodgers June 13 and could be called up if the big-league team requires some bullpen help.
