The Mets have shut down Megill (elbow) from throwing after the 30-year-old right-hander experienced tightness in his right arm, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Megill was knocked around for five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters across two innings during Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse. Laura Albanese of Newsday notes that Megill experienced tightness when throwing his secondary pitches and will undergo an MRI, but this latest setback puts a potential return this season in jeopardy.

Young is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Young has now been out of the lineup for five consecutive games, and Monday marks the third time during that stretch that he's sat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Miles Mikolas). Leo Rivas will get the nod at the keystone in the series opener with St. Louis and may have overtaken Young as the Mariners' preferred option at the position. Young's drop in playing time comes while he's gone just 2-for-38 (.053 average) over his last 15 games.

Fedde gathered a hold while giving up a double and retiring the other two batters he faced during a relief appearance in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Pirates.

Fedde made his second appearance as a member of the Brewers, this time working out of the bullpen after he had previously made a 4.1-inning start versus the Diamondbacks in his team debut Aug. 27. Since he tossed just 10 pitches Saturday, Fedde could be in consideration to make a spot start in Texas on Tuesday, when the Brewers will have a temporary opening in the rotation. However, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that Chad Patrick has joined the Brewers in Texas, so he could be formally recalled from Triple-A Nashville to draw the start over Fedde on Tuesday.

Garcia (quadriceps) went through agility drills at Globe Life Field on Monday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Garcia was placed on the 10-day injured list last week due to a right quad strain, but the Rangers remain optimistic he will be ready for activation Friday following a minimum-length absence. Alejandro Osuna, Cody Freeman, Dustin Harris and Ezequiel Duran have all seen action in right field since Garcia landed on the shelf.

Cabrera (elbow) resumed a throwing program Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera looked to be in danger of missing the rest of the season after he was placed on the injured list Sept. 1 due to a right elbow sprain, but his ability to resume throwing a week later leaves the door open for him to pitch again in 2025. Because he hasn't been shelved for a prolonged period, Cabrera should have sufficient time to get stretched back out for a starting role, provided he experiences no hiccups during the buildup process. Prior to being shut down last week, Cabrera had submitted a 3.50 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB In 46.1 innings over his eight starts since the All-Star break.

House is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

After starting in each of the last four games while going 3-for-12 with one home run, one stolen base, four RBI and two runs, House will take a seat as the Nationals open up a four-game set in Miami. Paul DeJong will cover third base in House's stead.

The Marlins activated Junk (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Junk will start Monday's game against the Nationals after missing a couple weeks with right ulnar nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. The right-hander threw 61 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Jacksonville last Tuesday, so he will likely be facing a bit of a limited workload Monday.

The Marlins optioned Roa to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Roa was with the big club for just a couple days, tossing two scoreless innings in his lone appearance. He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Janson Junk (elbow), who is back from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game versus the Nationals.

The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

He'll serve as the backup catcher behind Francisco Alvarez after Luis Torrens (forearm) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Senger has slashed just .174/.216/.188 in 30 games at the big-league level in 2025.

The Mets placed Torrens on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right forearm contusion.

According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Torrens said he suffered the injury while blocking a ball behind the plate in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Reds, and while he has avoided a fracture, he's sore enough that the Mets decide to make a roster move. Hayden Senger was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to replace Torrens as the Mets' backup catcher.
