The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Pauley sports just a .165/.211/.271 batting line across 33 games during his time with the Marlins this season. Miami has received very little offensively from third base, so Pauley could get another chance there, but there's no guarantee he'll play regularly.

The Marlins activated Meyer from the bereavement list Friday.

Meyer had been away from the club all week while tending to a personal matter. He will not miss a turn in the rotation, as Meyer is slated to take the ball Friday on the road in St. Louis. The right-hander will carry an 8-0 record and 2.80 ERA into Friday's outing against the Cardinals.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Phillies.

Alvarez was in the lineup for each of the previous 10 games, so he's earned a day off. Luis Torrens will do the catching and bat ninth for the Mets.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Friday that an MRI on Santillan's left oblique showed a significant strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Santillan -- who has notched each of the Reds' last three saves -- was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Friday, and he appears to be facing a prolonged absence. Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is expected back from the IL soon and could immediately retake his closer job. Until then, Pierce Johnson and/or Tejay Antone could get a look in the ninth inning.

The Brewers activated Koenig (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Koenig has been sidelined for most of this season, having suffered a sprained UCL in his pitching elbow back in early April. The lefty didn't allow an earned run in his first three appearances before getting hurt.

The Padres signed Rengifo to a minor-league contract Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Rengifo was officially released by the Brewers earlier this week after slashing only .205/.280/.254 with no home runs across 57 contests. The utility player is hitting just .229/.285/.313 in the majors since the beginning of the 2025 season, but he offers plenty of versatility and could get another chance with the big club sooner rather than later.

The Nationals recalled Kent from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

He'll grab the bullpen spot vacated by Gus Varland, who was optioned to Rochester following Thursday's loss to the Phillies. Kent has made six appearances this season in the majors between the Twins and Nationals, allowing nine runs (six earned) over 9.1 frames.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

After making three straight starts at catcher, Rodriguez is now on the bench for the second game in a row. Henry Davis will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Pirates.

Gonzales is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Reds.

It's the first time since May 21 that Gonzales has been out of the Pirates' lineup. Jared Triolo will cover third base in the series opener.

Karros is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Karros has now been out of the lineup three of the last four times the Rockies have gone up against a right-hander. Colorado will shift Willi Castro over to third base once again, with Edouard Julien covering second base.
