Peralta will start Tuesday's game against Atlanta as an opener.

It'll be the third opening assignment of the season for Peralta, all of which have come over the past eight days. The left-hander will likely cover an inning or two before turning things over to Griffin Canning as the bulk reliever, per Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com.

Dollander underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow Monday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Although Dollander managed to avoid undergoing a full Tommy John procedure, the operation will still put an early end to his second MLB season. He showed significant improvement in 2026, turning in a 3.89 ERA and 1.30 WHIP alongside a 47:18 K:BB in 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). A clearer timeline for his return could emerge as the 2027 campaign approaches.

Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Tucker (back) will likely remain out for the remainder of the team's series against the Twins, Dylan Hernandez of the California Post reports.

Tucker was pulled from Monday's contest due to lower-back spasms, and although the Dodgers are still optimistic he won't require a stint on the injured list, it sounds like his next opportunity to join the starting nine will come Friday in San Diego. Alex Call is set to start in right field Tuesday and could continue to do so until Tucker is cleared to return.

Tucker (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Tucker will miss at least one start after exiting Monday's series opener due to lower-back spasms but said he's "pretty confident" he won't require a trip to the injured list, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Alex Call is picking up a start in right field Tuesday with Tucker banged up.

The Mets claimed Oliva off waivers from the Giants on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Oliva went 1-for-7 for the Giants before suffering a hamate bone fracture and then slashed just .241/.288/.315 in 14 games with Triple-A Sacramento after returning. He'll report to Triple-A Syracuse, where he will give the Mets an experienced outfielder capable of playing all three spots on the grass.

The Cubs recalled Murray from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Murray was acquired via trade from the Astros this past weekend and will report directly to the major-league club. The 29-year-old reliever holds a 4.68 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 25 innings over the last two seasons during his time in the big leagues.

Winn was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to left thumb soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It's unclear when exactly Winn sustained the injury, as he's in the midst of a seven-game hit streak during which he has gone 11-for-28 (.393 average) with two doubles and a homer. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Hollowell was with the big club for a week and allowed two runs with a 2:5 BB:K over 3.2 innings. He's being replaced on the active roster by Jayden Murray.

Reds manager Terry Francona said that Greene (elbow) is slated to throw around 75 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Jaron May of WLWT Cincinnati reports.

Greene threw 54 pitches over four scoreless innings in his first rehab start last week in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, and he will continue to build up his stamina as he moves up to the Reds' top minor-league affiliate. Francona noted Tuesday that there remains no target date for Greene's return to the big-league rotation, as it depends on how the hurler's body responds. However, with Greene slated to get his pitch count up to 75, his season debut is likely right around the corner.

Gorman has been assigned to Triple-A Memphis after spending the past week at the Cardinals' spring training complex in Florida to rework his swing, Jim Hayes of Cardinals.TV reports.

Gorman worked with hitting director Dalton Hurd and minor-league hitting coordinator Brock Hammit on a flatter attack angle with his swing. The hope is that it will allow Gorman -- who is hitting .194/.279/.318 with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate this season -- to make more contact, and he is ready to test things out with the Cardinals' top minor-league affiliate.
