Harvey was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Harvey and Phillip Diehl were recalled Monday with German Marquez (arm) and Raimel Tapia (hand) landing on the injured list. Harvey is set for his Rockies debut after coming over in a deadline-day trade from the Yankees, where he posted a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings of work earlier in this season.

Helsley (1-0) was credited with the victory in a win over the Rockies on Sunday, striking out four while allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over 2.1 innings.

Helsley delivered a solid performance after relieving starter Michael Wacha with two outs in the fifth inning, allowing his only run on an error by outfielder Harrison Bader. The right-hander has given up one run in three straight appearances, but he's consistently worked multiple innings effectively and retains an impressive 2.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 23 frames while averaging a strikeout per inning.

Smith allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save over Oakland on Sunday.

It was Smith's first save since Aug. 13 and his first chance since Aug. 16. He failed to record a strikeout but worked past a two-out double by Josh Phegley. Smith is now 30-for-34 in save opportunities with a 2.70 ERA.

Yates struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save against Boston on Sunday.

Yates came on with a two-run lead and made quick work of the Red Sox, firing 14 of 19 pitches for strikes and collecting his league-leading 37th save. The 32-year-old has established himself as an elite closer this season, posting a 1.36 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 85:11 K:BB in 53 innings.

Melancon notched the save Sunday against the Mets after allowing one run on three hits over one inning of work.

Melancon entered the contest in the bottom of the ninth inning with a two-run lead, and after surrendering a run on a fielder's choice, he managed to induce a groundout to end the ballgame. The 34-year-old right-hander has nailed down five saves over his last seven appearances, and he sits with a 3.97 ERA with 57 punchouts over 56.2 innings this season.

Hernandez (3-5) yielded two runs on three hits while striking out five over six innings Sunday against the Phillies.

Hernandez surrendered a two-run home run in the sixth inning, though the Marlins would rally for three runs in the bottom half of the frame. The 24-year-old right-hander has been stellar over his last two starts, allowing just three runs over that stretch while fanning 10. He owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with a 65:21 K:BB over 63.1 innings this year.

Kelly won't be available to pitch Sunday due to rest purposes, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Kelly fired 1.2 innings Saturday night against the Yankees, so the Dodgers will hold him out of Sunday's series finale to get him ready for their upcoming three-game series in San Diego. He owns a 4.26 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with a 56:18 K:BB over 44.1 innings this season.

Cabrera (5-6) recorded the victory in Triple-A Memphis' win over Omaha on Saturday, posting 12 strikeouts and allowing just one hit and two walks while also uncorking a wild pitch over seven scoreless innings.

The right-hander had some modest control issues while working up to 107 pitches, but his final line speaks to his overall dominance. It was a second straight strong outing for Cabrera, who'd also managed a six-inning quality start versus Round Rock in his previous turn. The last pair of successes notwithstanding, Cabrera has scuffled overall with the Redbirds since his June 25 return from the big leagues, generating a 5.96 ERA over 54.1 innings during that span. However, he's partly offset that with an impressive 59 strikeouts in that same sample.

Kinley was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Kinley has a 4.14 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in the majors this season, but he looked better in August with three runs allowed over 12.1 innings. Kyle Keller was promoted from New Orleans in a corresponding move.

Payamps was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Payamps was recalled from the minors last weekend and allowed two runs on four hits over four innings during his first taste of the majors. The 25-year-old returns to Reno, where he has a 4.21 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 26:14 K:BB this season.
