The Angels reinstated Natera (back) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Natera was on the 15-day injured list due to lower-back spasms that sprung up Aug. 15. The southpaw began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday and also made an appearance Sunday. Over the two games, the 26-year-old tossed two scoreless innings on zero hits, a walk and a strikeout.

Correa (ankle) has been cleared to continue ramping up his rehab at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Coming back from left ankle surgery, Correa said Tuesday that he's been sprinting at 95 percent effort, fielding grounders and doing everything hitting-wise aside from facing live pitching. He is due to face live pitching in Florida and will also progress to running the bases and sliding. It was presumed when he had surgery in May that Correa's season was over, but he has a real chance to return later this month.

Montgomery isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Montgomery will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-5 during Monday's loss. Randal Grichuk will replace him in right field and bat sixth.

The Blue Jays recalled Keys from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was called up for his first taste of the majors in late June and had a .467 OPS in 12 games before returning to Buffalo a month later. Manager John Schneider said last week that Keys would begin playing some left field at Buffalo, but the top prospect still seems likely to see most of his action at first or third base for the Blue Jays.

The Rockies recalled Castano from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Castano has logged a 3.92 ERA and 17:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings with the Rockies this season. The 27-year-old is likely to be used as a multi-inning reliever in Colorado.

The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Amador is 3-for-10 with one home run during his time with the Rockies this season and has slashed .264/.367/.428 with 11 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 94 contests with Albuquerque. The 23-year-old is capable of handling both middle-infield spots as well as left field.

The Astros recalled Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers will join the Astros for the stretch run after spending the past few weeks with Sugar Land. After posting a .727 OPS in 104 regular-season games in 2025, the 30-year-old started Opening Day for the Astros this season but has scuffled to a .213/.268/.326 slash line in 54 MLB contests.

The Yankees activated McMahon (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

McMahon was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left thumb sprain just over two weeks ago, but he's made a quick recovery and has been cleared to return following a brief rehab assignment. The 31-year-old will handle third base against right-handed pitching.

The Tigers activated Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in left field and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Twins.

The 25-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring string Aug. 12 but is now back with the Tigers for the final month of the season. Greene went 1-for-6 with two walks in two rehab games and will look to shake off the slow start to August that saw him bat .214 (6-for-28) with two extra-base hits and 12 strikeouts.

The Cubs selected Murray's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Murray has put together a fine season at Iowa, slashing .294/.395/.500 with 16 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 69:110 BB:K over 118 games. He's primarily a corner infielder but can handle left field as well. Murray is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Tuesday versus the Brewers in his major-league debut.
