The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

The right-hander received his first promotion to the majors July 5 and made his debut that day versus Pittsburgh, firing two scoreless frames before returning to Rochester. Yean has pitched to a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 43 innings for Rochester this year, and it may not take much for him to stick around Washington's bullpen given the immense struggles the unit has gone through this year.

The Nationals designated Lawrence for assignment Tuesday.

Lawrence was a waiver claim in late June and allowed three runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 6.1 innings with the Nationals. The righty holds a 7.34 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 43:28 K:BB across 34.1 frames between the Nats, Twins and Pirates this season, and this is the third time since late May that he's been designated for assignment.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Austin Hedges will receive the nod behind the plate Tuesday while Bailey rests for the second game of the series. In Monday's 13-4 victory, Bailey caught all nine innings while producing a season-high four hits, including his fourth home run of the campaign.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

The left-handed-hitting Manzardo will hit the bench to begin Tuesday's contest, but he could enter as a mid-game replacement for Rhys Hoskins at first base once the Twins' opening pitcher -- lefty Kendry Rojas -- exits the game. While filling in for a resting Manzardo in Monday's series opener, Hoskins went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in the Guardians' 13-4 victory.

Kirk is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rays.

It's a regular day off for Kirk, who is sporting just a .598 OPS with one home run in 25 games since coming off the injured list. Brandon Valenzuela will grab a start at catcher in Kirk's stead.

Watson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Following a run of 10 starts in 11 games, Watson finds himself on the bench Tuesday for a second consecutive contest. The 23-year-old has a .584 OPS in his first 26 big-league games, though he is currently in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak, during which he's gone 6-for-18 with two doubles, two steals, two RBI and a run scored. Petey Halpin is instead starting in center field Tuesday for Cleveland.

The Mets recalled Duarte from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Duarte logged five scoreless innings covering three relief outings earlier this season for the Mets. He's been less effective at Syracuse with a 4.75 ERA and 30:17 K:BB over 30.1 frames, but the 29-year-old will provide the Mets with a rested bullpen arm.

The Mets optioned Curry to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

After going two innings Saturday, Curry tossed 47 pitches over 2.2 frames in Monday's loss to the Brewers. He'll be replaced on the roster by Daniel Duarte, who gives the Mets a fresh bullpen arm.

Stock (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks across four innings Saturday in his 2026 debut for Triple-A Syracuse after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

While pitching for Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic back in March, Stock experienced shoulder discomfort and was later diagnosed with symptoms consistent with thoracic outlet syndrome. The 36-year-old later underwent surgery to address the condition, and he made rapid progress from a procedure that often entails a 3-to-6-month recovery. He kicked off a rehab assignment June 19 and received the green light to join the Syracuse rotation coming out of the All-Star break after he logged a 2.38 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB in 11.1 innings over his five outings with High-A Brooklyn.

Triple-A Syracuse reinstated Tauchman (knee) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to Double-A Binghamton.

Tauchman joined the Mets for spring training as a non-roster invitee and appeared to have a decent shot at winning a reserve outfield job on the Opening Day squad before his roster bid ended when he suffered a torn meniscus March 21. Now just under four months removed from surgery, Tauchman has been cleared to join one of the Mets' upper-level affiliates after he went 4-for-22 with a 7:4 BB:K across eight rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A St. Lucie. He should eventually move up to Syracuse, but Tauchman could face an uphill battle to earn a call-up to the big club unless the Mets' outfield depth is tested by injuries.
