Tigers signed LHP Sam Clay to a minor league contract.

Clay made seven relief appearances last year between the Mets and Nationals and provides the Tigers with some extra left-handed relief depth. The 29-year-old lefty was released by the Diamondbacks in late March after failing to make their season-opening roster.

Matt Chapman (abdomen) will undergo another MRI exam on Monday.

Chapman and the Giants are trying to find answers as to why he’s still experiencing soreness whenever he does any sort of running. The 33-year-old infielder had been trending toward a return but is now once again out indefinitely.

Luis Arraez (leg) returned to the Giants’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Padres.

Arraez left Friday’s game and was held out of action on Saturday due to cramping in his legs, but he’s doing much better now. It’s still possible that he gets pulled early from Sunday’s game if he winds up on the move as trade rumors have been ferociously swirling around him in recent days.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Giants.

It looks to be just a routine day of rest for the 27-year-old superstar. Gavin Sheets will start in his place in right field and bat seventh against Giants’ right-hander Landen Roupp on Sunday afternoon in San Diego.

Chris Bassitt (back) pitched decently in his second minor league rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits over 4 1/3 innings.

Bassitt struck out four batters on the afternoon while issuing one free pass. He threw 67 pitches in the contest, 47 of those for strikes. It’s possible that he’ll require one additional tune-up in the minors before he’s cleared to return to the Orioles’ rotation. It’s also possible that teams could be calling on Bassitt prior to Monday’s trade deadline.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Mets will receive outfielder Aidan Smith, right-hander Gary Gill Hill and second baseman Emilen Pitre from the Rays i exchange for Freddy Peralta.

Smith, 22, ranks as the 15th best prospect in the Rays’ system according to MLB Pipeline while Hill and Pitre rank 26th and 27th respectively. It’s not a bad return for a couple of months of Peralta and should help to replenish the Mets’ system.

Will Sammon of The Athletic reports that the Rays have agreed to acquire right-hander Freddy Peralta from the Mets.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post adds that the Mets will receive three players back in return, though who those players are is not yet known. Expect the details to emerge throughout the afternoon. The Mets had been asking for a top-100 prospect “and more” in conversations earlier in the week. Stay tuned, as the hot stove is currently on fire as Monday’s trade deadline approaches.

Hart, 33, has posted a 4.87 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 36/13 K/BB ratio over 40 2/3 innings in 28 appearances with the Padres this season. He is not a recommended streaming option, even against the Giants.

Luis García Jr. was a late scratch from the Nationals’ starting lineup on Sunday.

No word yet on the reason for the late scratch, but the Nationals indicated that he will still be on the bench for the game, so it’s unlikely that it’s an injury situation, though he left Friday’s game due to mild soreness in his right knee. The more likely scenario is that the Nationals are discussing him in trade talks and he could soon be on the move. Stay tuned.
