The Diamondbacks placed Jameson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right hip inflammation.

Jameson has accumulated a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17.1 innings since joining the big-league bullpen in early June, but the D-backs will now be without his services for at least two weeks while he recovers from his hip injury. Gerardo Carrillo will come up from Triple-A Reno to fill the open spot in Arizona's bullpen.

The Diamondbacks optioned Burgos to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Burgos threw 1.1 scoreless innings after coming up from Reno on Monday, but he'll now head back to the minors in order to make room for Kohl Drake, who was recalled to start Tuesday's game against St. Louis. Burgos has now given up one run in 2.2 MLB innings this season, but his 5.88 ERA in the minors will likely limit the number of opportunities he receives with the big club.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

In a corresponding move, the Giants placed Trevor McDonald on the 15-day IL Tuesday due to an elbow strain. Beck made five appearances with Sacramento after being optioned June 24. Across those appearances, he gave up four earned runs on seven hits, two homers and five walks across 8.2 innings.

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.

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.

Kuhnel (shoulder) is slated to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Kuhnel has missed the past two-plus weeks with right rotator cuff tendinopathy but is ready to test out the injury with some mound work. Though he's eligible for activation now, Kuhnel could require a rehab assignment before return to the active roster.

Cornelio (1-1) picked up the win Monday, walking two batters over 1.2 no-hit, scoreless relief innings in a victory over the Rockies. He didn't record a strikeout.

It was the 26-year-old's first career win in his eighth appearance. Control continues to elude Cornelio for the most part, as he has a 17:15 K:BB through 16.1 innings with a 6.06 ERA and 1.90 WHIP, and he'll remain in a low-leverage role as long as that continues.

Mikolas will be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Back in action after serving a five-game suspension, Mikolas will make his 13th appearance of the season out of the bullpen while pitching behind opener Carson Palmquist. Mikolas went four scoreless innings in bulk relief his last time out against the Yankees on July 11 and has fared much better this season in that role (3.51 ERA) than he has as a traditional starter (8.53 ERA).
