Peralta did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings.

Peralta ran into trouble in the third inning, when a walk and two doubles allowed Los Angeles to plate two runs, before he surrendered another run in the fourth. Sunday marked an improvement from his first start of the second half -- when he was tagged for seven runs by the Brewers -- but the veteran right-hander has still completed five innings only once over his last five outings. Peralta has struggled since joining New York, posting a 4.99 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 22 starts. With the trade deadline approaching, rumors suggest Sunday's outing may have been his final start in a Mets uniform.

Single-A San Jose reinstated Cayama (back) from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Cayama has yet to make an appearance for San Jose since being activated, but he's been cleared to return to action in the California League after making four rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the past two weeks. Between his stops in the ACL and at San Jose this season, Cayama has generated a 4.40 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 50:9 K:BB across 43 innings.

The Pirates traded Urquidy traded to the White Sox in return for minor-league right-handed pitcher Felix Doroteo on Sunday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Urquidy was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Friday, and he has now quickly found a new home with the White Sox. The 31-year-old posted an inflated 8.53 ERA and 2.68 WHIP with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings in five appearances with the Pirates this season. Urquidy has had more success at the Triple-A level, registering a 3.53 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 77 punchouts over 18 starts with Triple-A Indianapolis. It's unclear if Urquidy will join Chicago's major-league roster or if he'll report to Triple-A Charlotte, but he is a member of the team's 40-man roster regardless.

Atlanta will promote Southisene from High-A Rome to Double-A Columbus on Monday, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Southisene will take the next step in his professional career, joining Columbus after slashing .255/.379/.428 with four home runs and nine stolen bases in 38 contests with Rome. The 19-year-old is regarded as a plus defender at shortstop and should have a good chance at sticking at the position once he eventually reaches the majors.

Salina (elbow) made his debut in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 8 and has allowed five earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 2.1 innings in three appearances on the season.

Salina didn't make his professional debut in 2025 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the spring before being selected in the fourth round of the First-Year Player Draft later that summer. Per Daniel Barrand of ProspectsLive.com, Salina sported a fastball that sat around 96-to-97 mph during his first outing in the ACL and peaked at 99 mph. However, Salina experienced shoulder fatigue following his second appearance May 15, which kept him out for two months before he returned to action with a one-inning outing in the ACL on Thursday, per MadFriars.com.

Burleson went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Burleson collected his sixth multi-hit effort in the last nine games with this performance. He's also driven in a run in consecutive contests. Burleson's power has dried up a bit -- he has gone 14 games without a home run, logging five doubles and five RBI in that span. He's hitting .289 with an .819 OPS, 15 home runs, 71 RBI, 56 runs scored, 26 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 104 contests this season, so fantasy managers will have to satisfied with consistency while waiting for his over-the-fence swing to return.

Herrera went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Herrera logged multiple hits for the second game in a row. He also ended a 14-game power drought when he went yard in the third inning off Andrew Abbott. Herrera is batting .244 with a .748 OPS, 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 65 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases over 104 contests this season. He continues to see steady time between catcher and designated hitter.

Blanco (hamstring) has gone 2-for-8 with a home run, a double and five RBI in two games for High-A Greensboro since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Blanco had been on the IL for just over a month before returning to action for Greensboro after completing a four-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Bradenton. The 21-year-old has produced plenty of pop with 26 extra-base hits in 51 games at High-A this season, but he's getting on base at just a .317 clip.

Leahy allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out nine over six innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Sunday.

Leahy continues to impress -- this was the first time he's allowed multiple runs since June 17 versus the Padres. Over his four outings in July, he's given up just three runs across 20 innings while adding a 21:3 K:BB. Leahy is now at a 3.55 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 88:34 K:BB through 101.1 innings over 20 starts this season. While his 3.0 BB/9 is a bit of a concern, Leahy is doing a good job of limiting damage, especially over the last month-plus. His next start is projected to be at Toronto.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Lowe has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs and seven RBI over six games since the All-Star break. While he's still in a part-time role, he's heating up with the bat, which could help him carve out more playing time in a battle with Eugenio Suarez and others. He could also benefit from Spencer Steer's wrist injury, which forced his removal from Sunday's contest. Ultimately, Lowe is expected to be moved by the trade deadline next week. Overall, Lowe is batting .256 with an .808 OPS, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 249 plate appearances, mainly as a strong-side platoon option.
