Beato was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

Beato was called to the majors Saturday and exited his first appearance with the hamstring injury. Mark Leiter was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Beato's void in the bullpen. The injured reliever is eligible to return to action as soon as August 9, though he may require more time than that to heal.

Wang had his contract selected by the Brewers on Sunday.

Wang was selected by the Brewers in the 2014 Rule 5 draft and trudged his way through a disastrous 10.90 ERA over 17.1 low-leverage innings in his first season with Milwaukee. The 25-year-old has spent the 2017 campaign in the tough pitching environment of Colorado Springs but has performed admirably, currently holding a 2.09 ERA over 47.1 innings. He'll provide another lefty arm in the Brewers bullpen moving forward.

Yates fired a clean ninth inning while striking out two Saturday, picking up his first save in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Regular closer Brad Hand was unavailable after pitching in three consecutive games, so manager Andy Green turned to Yates to close out the Friars' fourth straight win. The 30-year-old continues to excel in San Diego, posting a 2.23 ERA and 0.99 WHIP while maintaining an elite strikeout rate (13.6 K/9). Yates' usage in the ninth is foreshadowing his potential role in the likely event that Hand is dealt prior to Monday's trade deadline, though Carter Capps or Phil Maton could take Hand's place instead. Fantasy players could pick up Yates if they're desperate for saves, but this situation remains in flux.

Lamet (5-4) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings in a win Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Lamet fired his first quality start since he threw seven shutout innings June 29 against Atlanta. He continues to rack up the strikeouts like mad, now up to 75 in just 57.2 innings, an 11.7 K/9 that ranks sixth among all starters with at least 50 innings. He has been wild at times, but Lamet is showing a nastiness that is going to force opponents to remember his name.

Adleman (5-9) allowed six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters through just 4.1 innings during Saturday's loss to Miami.

Adleman entered the outing with a 6.69 ERA over his past seven outings, and Saturday's showing continued the underwhelming stretch. He's pitched his way off the fantasy grid in the majority of settings and now owns a crippling 5.42 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. Adleman's 8.1 K/9 does offer a sliver of hope in cavernous formats or as a flier candidate in the right matchup. He projects to make his next start at home against the Cardinals.

Beato was forced to leave Saturday's game due to a leg injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Beato was called up earlier Saturday and entered as the seventh-inning reliever for the Phillies, a role he likely would have settled into barring injury. The severity of the injury is currently unclear, so consider him day-to-day for now.

Estevez, who was optioned Saturday, will remain with the club as the 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

Estevez hasn't pitched in four days, so it seems almost certain that he'll get a shot at some point Sunday against the Nationals. That said, look for Estevez to wind up back in Triple-A by Monday.

Jansen struck out one and walked one in a scoreless inning against the Giants on Saturday to earn his 27th save of the season.

Jansen was protecting a one-run lead and although he allowed three baserunners, a double play and a strikeout helped him exit the contest unscathed. Despite his struggles in this game, he'll continue to be an elite closer option, based upon his 1.36 ERA and 0.69 WHIP.

Blach (6-7) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings to take the loss Saturday against the Dodgers.

Blach allowed single runs in the first and third innings, but the offense only provided one run of support, leading to his seventh loss of the season. He's fired quality starts in four of his last five outings, but his 4.38 ERA and 1.33 WHIP make him a low-end fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Athletics.

Bracho was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

While the 25-year-old continues to miss bats at a prolific clip, he's been undone by walks and home runs at the upper levels. Until he makes some notable progress in those areas, Bracho will remain far from high-leverage work.
