MLB Player News

De La Rosa (elbow) could be activated from the disabled list this weekend, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.

De La Rosa is not ready to pitch just yet, but he has rejoined the Diamondbacks, so it should not be long before he comes off the disabled list and rejoins the active roster.

Leone was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

He posted a 7.52 ERA and 2.26 WHIP in 20.1 innings out of the big league bullpen earlier this year, and should serve as a low-leverage relief arm over the final month of the season.

Reyes will move back to the bullpen, FOX Sports Midwest reports.

The Cardinals will turn to Mike Leake to take the ball Wednesday, so Reyes' time in the rotation is over for now. He is right there with Nationals phenom Lucas Giolito as one of the top two pitching prospects in the game, and he has been dominant as both a starter and reliever so far in the big leagues. Reyes has not allowed a run while striking out 13 in 9.1 innings of relief this year, making him a valuable option in roto formats despite the fact he won't be recording saves.

The Diamondbacks activated Chafin (shoulder) from the disabled list Tuesday.

Chafin's recovery from his shoulder injury was slowed by a subsequent groin injury, but he has overcome both ailments and is ready to rejoin the big club. Chafin figures to work situationally and in middle relief the rest of the way.

The Brewers called up Magnifico from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.

Magnifico made his big-league debut with the Brewers earlier this season, and the club decided to add him to the bullpen mix for the season's final month. Magnifico will compete for a spot in the Brewers' bullpen next spring, so he will get to use September as an audition.

Mayers was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Mayers was solid as a starter for the Redbirds this season, posting a 3.73 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 16 starts, so he'll get another shot at the big league level now that the rosters have expanded. The right-hander's major league debut this summer was a sour one, as he coughed up nine earned runs over an inning and one-third, but he'll look to improve upon that as he enters the St. Louis bullpen for the stretch run.

Edgin will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

Edgin failed to crack the Mets' 25-man roster out of spring training while he recovered from Tommy John surgery and wasn't effective when he did make his return to the big leagues earlier this season. Over 3.2 innings with the Mets, Edgin has been tagged for four runs on three hits and four walks. Don't expect him to see much high-leverage work down the stretch.

Maurer threw a scoreless ninth for his eighth save Monday against the Red Sox.

Since picking up his first save July 1 against the Yankees, Maurer has converted all but one of his nine save opportunities with an 18:5 K:BB in 23.1 innings. His 6.9 K/9 is well below the typical closer mark, but he has a vicious enough sinker to avoid the home run ball (just one allowed as closer), and that has made him effective enough to put up a respectable showing in the role thus far.

Moore (2-4) allowed six runs on five hits and four walks over just 2.2 innings in a loss Monday to the Rockies.

Moore had lasted at least five innings in every one of his starts dating back to May 9 against the Blue Jays. Control continues to be a huge issue for the lefty, as he walked four batters or more for the fifth time this season. Moore owns a 4.31 ERA with the Giants, and most of his struggles can be pinned to a horrid 5.7 BB/9 since he was acquired by San Francisco.

Moore (2-4) was hammered to the tune of six runs over 2.2 innings against the Rockies on Monday. He walked four and only struck out one.

This was clearly Moore's worst outing with his new club, as he had managed to go at least five innings in his six previous starts since joining San Francisco. Usually it is a sound strategy to avoid starting non-ace pitchers at Coors Field, but owners may have been lured into this dud because he had been coming off of two strong outings. Things don't get easier for the lefty as his next start comes against Arizona at Chase Field, which ranks right behind Coors this season in terms of homer-friendly ballparks.
