The Mets optioned Morabito to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Morabito had a rough introduction to the big leagues, going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts. He'll return to Syracuse, where he's slashed .253/.364/.390 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases across 41 contests this season.

Soto (illness) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Soto missed the last two contests while dealing with the flu, but he's feeling well enough to hit Tuesday. He will enter play Tuesday having homered six times over his past 10 games.

The Mets activated Young (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Young had meniscus surgery in mid-April and is ready to return after going 5-for-22 at the plate in six rehab contests. The left-handed hitter went 7-for-20 for the Mets before getting hurt and should see a decent amount of playing time against righties. Young is starting at first base and batting fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Reds.

The Mets activated Minter (lat) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Minter's last appearance in the majors came last April prior to him having left lat surgery in May. He's completed a long rehab and held a 1.59 ERA and 7:1 K:BB over 11.1 innings on his rehab assignment. Minter's velocity was down during those rehab outings, however, so the Mets might pitch him in low-leverage spots initially.

Feltner (elbow) struck out five and allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk across five innings Sunday in a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque.

Making the second start of his rehab assignment, Feltner moved from Double-A Hartford to Albuquerque and was unfazed by the jump in competition. The 29-year-old pushed his pitch count up to 67 (44 strikes), and the efficient outing could set him up to slot back into the Colorado rotation as soon as this weekend's home series versus the Giants. According to MLB.com, Feltner -- who was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right ulnar nerve inflammation -- returned to Colorado on Monday for a medical checkup, and the Rockies should decide within the next day or two whether he'll make his next start with the big club or in the minors.

Atlanta re-signed Azocar to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

For the second time this month, Azocar has re-signed with Atlanta after having been removed from its 40-man roster. Azocar is 5-for-15 at the dish during his brief time with the big club this season. He'll provide experienced outfield depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 6-2 loss to Arizona. He was also hit by a pitch.

Devers hit a two-run double in the fourth inning, giving the Giants a brief 2-1 lead. The veteran infielder has recorded at least one hit in five of the last six games, racking up eight RBI, four doubles, two long balls and an additional run scored over 25 plate appearances during that span. He's had a productive month, slashing .302/.351/.593 with 16 RBI, 13 runs scored, 10 doubles and five home runs across 94 plate appearances in 23 games in May.

Brubaker threw three scoreless relief innings in Monday's 6-2 loss to Arizona, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Brubaker entered in the seventh inning and turned in a productive performance while tossing 23 of his 35 pitches for strikes. He's logged three scoreless innings in back-to-back appearances, issuing three walks over those two games. The right-hander now owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB across 27.1 innings in 18 outings so far this season.

Single-A Fresno placed Holliday (foot) on its 7-day injured list Sunday.

Holliday hasn't played in nearly a week due to a left foot injury, and the decision was finally made to put him on the IL. The Rockies haven't provided word on a specific diagnosis for Holliday, making it uncertain how much time the top prospect will miss. Holliday has impressed so far in his first full professional season, slashing .262/.395/.557 with nine home runs in 33 games with Fresno, though he's struck out at a 28.3 percent clip.

Holiday (elbow) was assigned to Single-A Palm Beach on Tuesday after allowing five runs with an 11:2 K:BB over 9.2 innings with the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate.

A third-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Holiday finally made his professional debut after recovering from May 2025 Tommy John surgery. Slated to turn 23 on Friday, Holiday was seen as a high-floor, quick-moving college pitcher when drafted, but the Cardinals will bring him along slowly as he coming back from elbow surgery.
