Lamet (1-2) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over four innings Monday, striking out three and taking the loss against Colorado.

Lamet clearly wasn't at his sharpest Monday as he allowed six baserunners and needed 75 pitches to get through four frames. He's yet to pitch more than five innings this season and has only gone past the fourth on just one occasion. The 28-year-old is sporting a 3.33 ERA and 30:10 K:BB through 27 innings this season. Lamet is lined up to face the Reds at home this weekend.

Bard allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one batter while earning a save over San Diego on Monday.

Bard served up a two-run shot to Trent Grisham but retired Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis to escape with his ninth save of the season. He entered the contest on a 12.1-inning scoreless streak but his season ERA jumped to 4.15 after allowing the home run. The 35-year-old has converted nine of his 12 save chances on the year and hasn't blown an opportunity since May 12.

Hand picked up the save after striking out one in a scoreless inning Monday against the Pirates.

Hand didn't mess around when it was his turn in the ninth, retiring the side in order on just 11 pitches (seven strikes). The closer has now successfully slammed the door nine consecutive times, with his last blown save taking place May 12 against the Phillies. Hand owns a 3.16 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.2 frames this season.

Lange left Monday's game against the Royals due to right shoulder discomfort, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Lange will be considered day-to-day until further notice. He's appeared in three contests since being recalled Thursday, allowing three runs over 2.2 innings.

Lange left Monday's game against the Royals due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lange was visited by the team trainer in the fifth inning and ultimately had to leave the contest. Details on the injury have yet to surface.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Ramirez was recalled just a few days earlier, but he'll head back to the minors after failing to make an appearance. Luis Torrens was promoted Monday in a corresponding move.

Martin was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Martin has made a pair of starts for the Diamondbacks this season, allowing nine runs in nine innings of work while striking out eight and walking seven. He seemingly lines up to start Tuesday against the Giants, though the team has yet to officially confirm that. Jon Duplantier was optioned in a corresponding move.

De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

De Los Santos' latest stint with the Phillies lasted just two days. He struck out two batters while allowing one hit in a scoreless inning of relief against the Yankees on Sunday in his lone appearance. Bailey Falter was recalled in a corresponding move.

Fulmer (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

The right-hander hasn't pitched since May 30 due to a strained right shoulder, and he'll rejoin the active roster Monday after a brief trip to the injured list. Fulmer opened the season in the rotation but has pitched well out of the bullpen with a 1.35 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 13.1 innings since May 5. The 28-year-old is 4-for-5 in save chances and should reclaim primary closer's duties now that he's healthy, though Jose Cisnero and Gregory Soto also remain in the mix.

Weigel was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Weigel's third stint of the year in the big-league bullpen lasted just four days. He did not make an appearance. Hunter Strickland, acquired in a trade with the Angels on Saturday, was added to the active roster in a corresponding move.
