Wicks (oblique) will throw a bullpen Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Wicks' recovery from a Grade 2 right oblique strain has gone slower than expected, but he'll throw off a mound Friday for the first time since being placed on the IL on June 15. Wicks becomes eligible to return in mid-August, but he may require more time to recover.

The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Munoz surrendered six runs in five innings during a start against the Orioles on Thursday and was removed from the active roster. Since being recalled June 8, Munoz logged a 5.76 ERA in 45.1 innings for Miami.

Baumeister and minor-league outfielders Matthew Etzel and Mac Horvath were acquired by the Rays from the Orioles on Friday in exchange for starting pitcher Zach Eflin, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Baumeister was selected 63rd overall in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft by Baltimore and will now make his way to Tampa Bay. The 22-year-old right-hander has pitched at the High-A level this season in his first year of professional action and has a 3.18 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 91:43 K:BB across 70.2 innings.

The Orioles are acquiring Eflin from the Rays on Friday in exchange for minor-league outfielder Matthew Etzel, pitcher Jackson Baumeister and outfielder Mac Horvath, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The right-hander allowed two runs over 5.2 frames in a no-decision Wednesday in Toronto, and that will end up being his final start for Tampa Bay. Eflin posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 186:24 K:BB over a career-high 177.2 innings last season, though he's been unable to replicate those results this year and has a 4.09 ERA through 19 starts. The 30-year-old brings some stability to an injury-ravaged Baltimore rotation is also under contract for 2025 at $18 million.

Meyer will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday in Milwaukee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

It had been reported previously that Meyer was rejoining the Marlins' rotation this weekend and now we have a confirmed date. The young right-hander has spent more than three months at Jacksonville even as the Marlins' rotation need became dire, but he will finally be unleashed again. Meyer was initially limited to 3-to-4 innings at a time after being sent down, but he was starting to get stretched out more in his last few starts with Jacksonville. De Nicola notes that while Miami will still be mindful of Meyer's workload down the stretch, there don't appear to be plans for a hard cap on his innings.

The Padres recalled Mazur from Triple-A El Paso to start Friday's game against the Orioles.

Mazur is set for his eighth big-league start Friday and is back with the Padres for the first time since July 10. With Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish (elbow/personal) on the shelf, San Diego has been searching for a reliable fifth starter, a temporary role Mazur could land if he shows well Friday. Mazur has tallied a 7.84 ERA in 31.0 innings this season.

Mize (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

It will be his first time trying things from the bump since he went down with a left hamstring strain in late June. Mize will need a little time to be built back up since he's already been sidelined a month, so he's likely several weeks away from a return.

The Orioles designated Stoudt for assignment Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

A 40-man roster move was required following Friday's trade with the Phillies which added Seranthony Dominguez and Cristian Pache to the roster. It's the third time since February that Stoudt has been designated for assignment, as he's bounced around from the Reds to the Mariners to the Orioles and now could be on the move again.

The Mets activated Senga (shoulder/triceps) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Senga is set to make his season debut for the Mets on Friday against Atlanta after being sidelined with right shoulder and triceps problems. The plan is for the right-hander to throw around 85 pitches or five innings Friday after he threw 79 pitches in his final rehab start.

The Marlins will recall Meyer from Triple-A Jacksonville to rejoin their rotation this weekend in Milwaukee, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Meyer last pitched with Jacksonville on July 20 and the Marlins have an opening in their rotation Saturday, so he'll be on plenty of rest for the start. The young right-hander was sent down back in April as a means to manage his workload, and he's pitched well of late, allowing just two runs with a 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings covering his last four Triple-A starts. Meyer has averaged 77.5 pitches in those outings, with a high of 86, and the Marlins will continue to keep a close eye on his workload down the stretch. Even with likely restrictions, Meyer is worthy of being scooped back up in fantasy leagues where he's available. He posted a 2.12 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 17 frames in three starts for the Marlins earlier this season.
