Diamondbacks optioned RHP Mitch Bratt to Triple-A Reno.

Bratt made his big league debut against the Cardinals on Wednesday, allowing just one run over three strong innings of work. If he’s going to return to make another start against the Giants on Monday, the Diamondbacks would need to have someone land on the injured list. Juan Burgos was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move on Thursday to add a fresh arm to the team’s bullpen.

Diamondbacks transferred RHP Ryne Nelson to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for Nelson, who is dealing with a partially torn forearm flexor, this was done merely as a procedural move to clear a spot on the club’s 40-man roster for the addition of Max Kepler on Thursday. The expectation is that Nelson will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.

Diamondbacks optioned INF/OF Tim Tawa to Triple-A Reno.

With Max Kepler joining the team on Thursday, someone needed to get the boot from the Diamondbacks’ bench and Tawa would up drawing the short straw. The 27-year-old hit just .172/.270/.266 with one homer, eight RBI and an 18/9 K/BB ratio over 76 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks activated OF Max Kepler from the restricted list.

The 33-year-old outfielder has finished serving his 80-game PED suspension and will be active and in uniform for the Diamondbacks on Thursday evening against the Cardinals in St. Louis. He should see fairly regular action against right-handed pitching if he proves that he’s able to hold his own after the long layoff.

Josh Jung is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s matchup against the Blue Jays.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 28-year-old slugger. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and will bat sixth for the Rangers against Blue Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman.

CJ Abrams is not in the Nationals’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s matchup against the Phillies due to renewed tightness in his left side.

Abrams missed Tuesday’s game with the same issue. Nationals’ skipper Blake Butera told reporters on Thursday that Abrams should be available off the bench and isn’t expected to miss any substantial time. He’s still considered day-to-day.

Schwarber missed each of the team’s previous two games due to tightness in his back, though he did draw a walk as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday.
