Padres release José Leclerc

Robles returns to Seattle’s outfield mix for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rangers after spending a couple days away from the club due to a family emergency.

Milner rejoins Seattle’s bullpen prior to Tuesday’s series opener against the Rangers after spending a couple days away from the club to deal with a family emergency. The 35-year-old southpaw signed a minor league deal with the club earlier this month.

Taylor retreats to the minors with veteran lefty Hoby Milner returning to Seattle’s relief mix. The 24-year-old righty didn’t end up making an appearance for the Mariners after being called up last Friday. He’s posted an underwhelming 5.88 ERA across 26 innings in the big leagues since 2024.

Fairchild’s stint with the Mariners is over after appearing in just one game with the club. The 30-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain at Triple-A Tacoma as emergency organizational depth to close out the year.

Tommy Edman moves up to the leadoff spot with Freddie Freeman getting off his feet at DH while Enrique Hernández covers first base. Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and a pair of strikeouts in his return to Los Angeles’ lineup during Monday’s win over the Reds after missing four games with ongoing knee and biceps issues. The 32-year-old two-way superstar told reporters afterwards that he’s going to focus exclusively on hitting for the rest of the season. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Dodgers carefully manage his workload for the final three weeks of the season to keep his as healthy as possible heading into the playoffs.

Kent returns to Washington’s relief mix with Matt Waldron hitting the injured list. The 28-year-old has posted a pedestrian 6.75 ERA across 10 2/3 innings for the Nationals since being claimed off waivers from the Twins back in early May.

Waldron hits the shelf following three appearances for the Nationals after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays last month. The 29-year-old holds a lackluster 6.54 ERA across 42 2/3 innings between the Nationals, Blue Jays and Padres this season.

Montes is back in Seattle’s lineup after coming off the bench during two consecutive games over the weekend due to a left hip injury that he suffered on a collision with the right-center field wall last Friday. The 21-year-old top prospect is at DH and hitting eighth. He’s gone 3-for-14 with one homer and three RBI in five games since being called up last week.

Happ is back in left field and hitting sixth following a two-game absence from Chicago’s lineup due to left knee discomfort. He was able to come off the bench for a pair of at-bats during Monday’s series opener. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.

Harris heads to the Bay Area prior to Tuesday’s game against the Cardinals after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox last week. The 28-year-old infielder has gone hitless in six at-bats over six games between the Red Sox and Athletics this season.
