The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Black has hit .282/.378/.410 with one home run and two steals in 10 games for Nashville since returning from an undisclosed injury. The left-handed bat could see some action against right-handed pitching while the Brewers navigate injuries to Christian Yelich (groin), Jackson Chourio (hand) and Andrew Vaughn (hand).

The Rockies recalled Peralta from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Peralta has collected a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 9.2 innings in the bullpen at Albuquerque this season. The left-hander will provide the Rockies with a fresh relief arm.

The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ulnar nerve inflammation.

Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to what was called right triceps tightness at the time, but upon a more thorough exam, it turns out he has a nerve issue in his pitching elbow. The Rockies have not revealed a timetable for the righty's return, but it's an injury that could result in an extended absence.

Atlanta outrighted Hamilton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hamilton was removed from the 40-man roster after giving up three runs in his lone appearance in the majors. Since he's been outrighted previously, Hamilton has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what his plans are.

Scott is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Mariners.

Scott has been in an extended slump at the plate, as he's hitless across his last seven games and is just 5-for-45 at the dish since the calendar flipped to April. Nathan Church will slide over to start in center field, while Jose Fermin gets the call in left field for the Cardinals.

Harris (quadriceps) will start in center field and bat fifth in Friday's game versus the Phillies.

Harris had to be lifted from Thursday's contest against the Nationals due to left quad tightness, but he checked out fine and will not have to miss a game. The five spot in the lineup is the highest this season for Harris, who is slashing .447/.488/.895 with five home runs over his last 11 games.

Robert is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Robert is just 6-for-39 at the plate across his last 10 contests, so he'll get a day off to regroup. The Mets will roll with Tyrone Taylor in center field for Friday's series opener.

The Phillies recalled McFarlane from Double-A Reading on Friday.

McFarlane has moved to the bullpen this season with Reading and posted a 1.42 ERA and 10:4 K:BB over his first 6.1 innings. The hard-throwing right-hander will provide manager Rob Thomson with a fresh bullpen arm, and while he has the upside to eventually work late innings, the 24-year-old will likely be used in lower-leverage spots initially.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Thursday's game that Tucker will shift to the cleanup spot in the batting order, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Tucker had been locked into the two spot before he collected a pair of hits while batting fourth Thursday against the Giants. The 29-year-old's tenure with the Dodgers has gotten off to a slow start, but Roberts is hoping a new lineup spot will jumpstart the free-agent signing. Tucker should have plenty of RBI opportunities while hitting behind Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and eventually Mookie Betts (oblique).

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

Cornelio earned his first promotion to the big leagues after putting up a 2.45 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB through 18.1 innings with Rochester. The right-hander will likely be broken in as a long reliever, but given the lackluster performance of the Nationals' rotation, Cornelio could earn some starts if he pitches well.
