Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

Busch is now riding a five-game hitting streak, and he's gone deep twice during the stretch. The Chicago first baseman has already set a new career high with 28 long balls this season. Busch has also tallied a career-best 79 RBI, and he's established himself as a reliable leadoff hitter against righties, as he's sporting a .267/.346/.517 slash line in those matchups.

Atlanta transferred Murphy (hip) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for left-hander Jose Suarez, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals. Murphy is done for the season following surgery last week to repair a right hip labral tear.

Atlanta optioned Diaz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Diaz has made three relief appearances after being claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Sept. 7, yielding four runs (three earned) with a 5:5 K:BB. The former Reds closer holds an 8.18 ERA over 18 relief outings in the big leagues this season.

Seymour struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on three hits over one inning of relief in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Seymour had started in each of his previous three appearances, but after he turned in an 8.68 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 9.1 innings in those outings, he was moved to the bullpen. The Giants called on Seymour to mop up in the ninth inning of Sunday's blowout loss, and most of the 26-year-old righty's appearances for the remainder of the season are likely to come in lower-leverage spots.

Atlanta optioned Seabold to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

The transaction comes one day after Seabold gave up two runs without recording an out in a relief appearance in Atlanta's 11-3 win over Washington. Seabold has permitted five runs with a 10:6 K:BB over 10.1 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Atlanta recalled Wiles from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Wiles will provide manager Brian Snitker with a fresh bullpen arm for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The 27-year-old's lone appearance with Atlanta earlier this season came in relief, but he'll be capable of covering multiple innings after making 19 starts for Gwinnett this season.

Atlanta selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Suarez will make a spot start Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Nationals. The left-hander has pitched well lately at Gwinnett, posting a 2.70 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 20 innings covering his last four starts. Suarez could be sent back down to Gwinnett after Tuesday's start.

The Giants will have Beck start Tuesday's game in Arizona, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beck's first 26 appearances of the season with the Giants have come as a reliever, but he'll draw the start Tuesday while the team looks to fill the hole in the rotation that was created after the struggling Carson Seymour was moved to the bullpen over the weekend. The Giants are likely to treat Tuesday's contest as a bullpen day and are expected to lean on multiple pitchers to get through the game, but Beck should be capable of providing more length than the typical opener. Beck -- who is taking the hill on two days' rest -- has covered between two and four innings in five of his last six relief appearances and will likely hover somewhere in that range Tuesday. With Carson Whisenhunt (back) set to make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list over the weekend, Beck could be in line for just one start before moving back to the bullpen.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Muncy has been scuffling since returning from an oblique injury, going just 2-for-16 with three walks and five strikeouts over five games since he was activated Sept. 8. The infielder has managed to record 18 homers over 94 contests in an injury-riddled campaign. He's added a .251/.386/.481 slash line, 65 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases through 368 plate appearances, serving as the Dodgers' primary third baseman versus right-handed pitchers when he's healthy.

Pages went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Pages has multiple hits in three of his last four games, but his homer Monday was his first since Sept. 2 versus the Pirates. The outfielder has collected at least one hit in 17 of his last 25 games, batting .280 (26-for-93) in that span. On the year, he's played at a similar level, hitting .276 with a .783 OPS, 25 homers, 81 RBI, 69 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, 25 doubles and one triple over 144 contests.
