  • Diamondbacks' Gerardo Carrillo: Recalled to majors

    The Diamondbacks recalled Carrillo from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Carrillo was added to Arizona's 40-man roster Saturday, and he'll now get an opportunity to pitch for the big club following Drey Jameson's (hip) move to the injured list. Carrillo has put up a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 57:28 K:BB across 43.1 innings at Reno, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Expected to be called up Wednesday

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Dobbins is expected to be called up from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's contest against the Angels, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Dobbins will return to the big-league roster after being sent down July 8. The right-hander has posted a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 22.1 innings in five appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals so far this season. With Dobbins coming up for a spot start, the other members of the St. Louis rotation will all be pushed back a day in the pitching schedule.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Pitching Game 1 of doubleheader

    Keller will start Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Keller will take the ball in Wednesday's matinee after Tuesday's contest was postponed due to inclement weather, causing the Pirates to participate in a third doubleheader since July 11. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.62 ERA and 1.74 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 39 innings in his last eight starts, surrendering nine home runs over that stretch.

  • Bubba Chandler SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Starting Game 2 of doubleheader

    Chandler will start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Chandler was set to start Tuesday before the game ended up being postponed due to poor weather, but he'll now handle Wednesday's nightcap. The right-hander has struggled to a 6.60 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with nine walks and 12 strikeouts over 15 innings in his last three starts.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Received second opinion

    Gallen (elbow) met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a recommended course of action and was scheduled to be back in Arizona on Tuesday to resume his rehab, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Gallen has been dealing with right elbow inflammation, which landed him on the 15-day injured list July 12. The righty was said to be evaluating his options as he waited for an opinion from another doctor -- presumably Dr. ElAttrache. Gallen's timeline is currently up in the air.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Trying bullpen session Wednesday

    Lodolo (blister) will attempt to throw a bullpen Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    As Lodolo tries to throw from a mound Wednesday, he and the Reds will see how he is feeling and judge from there. The southpaw had the blister resurface July 11, which led to his removal from the game. He's been throwing a Plyo ball after getting his blister drained prior to the weekend.

  • Kohl Drake SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kohl Drake: Officially recalled for start

    The Diamondbacks recalled Drake from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Drake's start Tuesday will mark his MLB debut, and he'll be welcomed to the big leagues by a Cardinals offense that's posted just a .652 OPS since the beginning of July. The 26-year-old has put up an unsightly 6.92 ERA through 66.1 innings in the minors, but he's allowed just four earned runs in 12.1 frames across his last three minor-league outings. Juan Burgos was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

  • Landon Knack RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Relegated to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

    Knack has given up five runs in five innings since making his season debut July 11, so the Dodgers will send him down to Triple-A to get back on track. Charlie Barnes will come up from the minors to fill the resulting vacancy in the bullpen.

  • Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Set to start Sunday

    Misiorowski will start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    The flamethrowing right-hander wasn't initially listed among Milwaukee's probable pitchers for this weekend, but he'll end up taking his regular turn through the rotation Sunday. Misiorowski covered just four frames Monday against the Mets in his return from a bout of arm fatigue, with manager Pat Murphy indicating that the 24-year-old was still getting his legs back under him in his first start since July 7. Misiorowski may have a shorter leash going forward after having a heavy first-half workload, though he seems likely to work beyond the 65 pitches he was limited to Monday.

  • Giants' Trevor McDonald: Lands on injured list

    The Giants placed McDonald on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow strain, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

    McDonald made an early exit from his start Monday after suffering an injury while warming up for the fifth inning, and he'll now officially have to miss a few turns through the rotation. Tristan Beck will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to give the Giants some extra bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.
