Phillips is slated to start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.

After piggybacking Ryan Gusto for 4.2 innings in relief in his most recent appearance last Friday versus the Rays, Phillips will move back into a starting role for his upcoming turn through the rotation. The right-hander has covered at least three frames in each of his last four appearances (two starts), going 0-1 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings during that span.

Wells (head) will resume baseball activities at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Wells did not accompany the Yankees on their road trip, but he's been cleared for activities after concussion tests and an MRI came back negative. The catcher was placed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend due to cervical headaches, but he looks to be tracking toward a return when first eligible June 16.

The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Petty will give the bullpen some length after the Reds needed to use six relievers in Tuesday's extra-innings victory over the Padres. The righty has made two starts for Cincinnati this season, yielding seven runs with a 2:3 K:BB over 10.2 innings.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

The Reds will give Dunn a breather for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Dane Myers to pick up a start in center field. Dunn had started in all 18 of the Reds' games dating back to May 19, slashing .284/.318/.383 with one home run, three stolen bases, nine runs and four RBI during that stretch.

The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

After turning in scoreless showings in his first two major-league appearances, McCambley was touched up for three runs in an inning of work in his last outing Monday in San Diego. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen is being absorbed by Chase Petty.

Arroyo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on June 1, Arroyo has started in six of the Reds' ensuing nine games but hasn't gotten going at the plate. Spencer Steer will get the nod at second base Wednesday over Arroyo, who has begun his big-league career by going 5-for-22 (.227 average) with no extra-base hits and a 2:9 BB:K. He'll need to raise his production if he hopes to stick around with the big club once Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

After starting behind the plate each of the last three days, Stephenson will get a breather while the Reds wrap up their series in San Diego with an afternoon game after a night game. P.J. Higgins will step in at catcher, forming a battery with starting pitcher Brady Singer.

Arraez went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

Arraez hit his fifth triple of the season in the first inning and singled in the fifth before coming around to score. He's recorded at least one hit in 10 straight games, batting .341 with seven runs scored and five RBI in 50 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .326/.360/.438 with 34 runs scored, 25 RBI, five stolen bases and two long balls across 287 plate appearances this season.

The Angels are expected to call up Porter from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

The transaction won't be made official until shortly before the Angels' game against the Astros later Wednesday, but Porter could be joining the big club as a replacement on the active roster for fellow catcher Sebastian Rivero, who exited Tuesday's 10-1 win with a left hand injury. The 30-year-old Porter saw action in five games at the big-league level with the Giants in 2025 but had played exclusively with San Francisco's Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento this season, producing a .654 OPS across 65 plate appearances before electing free agency last week. Porter is likely to see limited playing time behind top backstop Logan O'Hoppe while he's up with the Angels.

Mayer is absent from Wednesday's lineup versus the Rays due to back and neck stiffness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy is hopeful that Mayer will be available to pinch hit. However, with a team off day looming Thursday, the club could elect to stay away from Mayer on Wednesday with the goal of having him return to the lineup Friday, when the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Rangers.
