Suter (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Assuming that goes well, Suter will likely be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next week. It was initially looking like the left-hander would be out until September after he was diagnosed in late July with a partial tear of his left teres major muscle, but he's recovered more quickly than expected.

The Rockies optioned Rogers to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rogers' latest stint in the majors lasted just one day, as he allowed one run over 1.2 innings in a relief appearance Sunday versus Atlanta. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Bradley Blalock, who was called up from Double-A Hartford to start Monday's game in Arizona.

The Rockies recalled Blalock from Double-A Hartford and will have him start in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

With Cal Quantrill dealing with general forearm soreness, German Marquez (elbow) out for the season and Ryan Feltner (shoulder) and Dakota Hudson (eblow) both on the 15-day injured list, the Rockies were slim on options in their starting rotation and have opted to call up Blalock to fill the void. Blalock was acquired by Colorado in late July as part of the package for right-hander Nick Mears. Blalock is 5-3 across 18 starts in Double-A this season with a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 86.2 innings. He appeared in one game for the Brewers out of the bullpen in June, but he'll be making his first MLB start Monday in his Rockies debut.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Walston (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

With Eduardo Rodriguez and Merrill Kelly both recently returning from the IL, the Diamondbacks don't have an open spot on the rotation for Walston. For now, Walston will head down to Triple-A, but the 23-year-old southpaw should eventually make his way back to the big club, possibly as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen if the rotation isn't impacted by injury. Prior to landing on the IL on June 6 due to left elbow inflammation, Walston registered a 2.84 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 12.2 innings in three major-league appearances (two starts).

Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Brown (neck) has been shut down from throwing "for the time being," Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brown continues to experience lingering discomfort in his neck that has kept him on the injured list since June 11. Counsell did note that the situation is not season-ending, and he expressed confidence that rest will be enough for Brown to recover, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune.

The Brewers activated Hudson (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Hudson wound up missing just a couple weeks of action with a strained left oblique. The left-handed reliever has been quite a find in the Brewers bullpen this season with a 1.60 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 50.2 innings. He'll return to a high-leverage role now that he's healthy again.

Woodford will start Monday's game in San Diego, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Lefty Marco Gonzales had been on turn to start Monday, but he faced the Padres his last time out and was touched up for five runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. Whether Gonzales makes a start later in the series or is held back for the weekend set against the Mariners isn't clear, but Woodford will pick up his second start of the season with Pittsburgh on Monday. Over his three appearances since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis in late July, Woodford has allowed seven runs (four earned) with a 5:0 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Lee will give the bullpen another left-hander with A.J. Minter (hip) going on the 15-day injured list. The 30-year-old has been terrific during his time in the majors this season, posting a 2.00 ERA and 49:14 K:BB across 45 relief innings.

Atlanta placed Minter on the 15-day injured list Monday with left hip inflammation.

It's the same injury that caused him to miss more than a month of action earlier this season. Atlanta hasn't provided a timeline for Minter to return from his latest hip injury, but the club will now be without him until at least late August. Dylan Lee was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Minter's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen.

Bednar (3-5) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter over 1.2 innings.

Bednar was able to successfully send the game into extras with a scoreless ninth inning. He was staked a one-run lead after the Pirates scored in the 10th but immediately gave it back after Enrique Hernandez led off the bottom half with a double. He was able to get a strikeout on Jason Heyward and a foul out by Shohei Ohtani before Teoscar Hernandez walked things off with a base hit to right. Sunday was the fifth straight outing for Bednar allowing at least a run. He's only given up one home run over that span but has a 5:7 K:BB as well. Aroldis Chapman has allowed just one run in 10 appearances since July 20, however, there's been no indication of a possible change at closer for right now. Bednar, who came into this year making each of the last two All-Star games, now owns a 5.75 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 41:15 K:BB in 40.2 innings.
