Strider was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to right arm soreness.

Strider gave up six runs across the first two innings of the game and was displaying diminished velocity at the start of the fourth, prompting Atlanta's training staff to take him out of the game. It remains unknown what exactly the 27-year-old righty is dealing with, but the team should provide some clarity in the near future.

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said Friday that Dollander will likely undergo surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Rockies were originally optimistic that Dollander would avoid surgery after landing on the IL in May with a sprained elbow, but things appear to have taken a turn after a month of rest. The 24-year-old was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday and will almost certainly be ruled out for the remainder of the season once he goes under the knife.

The Brewers placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right forearm flexor strain.

Crow pitched two shutout innings during his last outing Tuesday against the A's, but he appears to have come away from his appearance with forearm problems. He'll be forced to miss at least the next two weeks as a result, and the Brewers will recall Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

The Rockies transferred Dollander (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Dollander initially landed on the injured list in mid-May with a sprained right elbow, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains sidelined through the All-Star break. The Rockies don't believe the 24-year-old will require surgery, though he is still seeking out a second opinion. Sean Sullivan was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

The Rockies optioned Peralta to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Peralta was promoted from Triple-A on Sunday and gave up a solo homer while striking out three batters across two innings during his lone outing with the big club. He'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Sean Sullivan, who was called up to start Friday's contest.

The Rockies selected Sullivan's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Friday against the Athletics.

Sullivan will be making his MLB debut Friday, though he will be doing so in a very hitter-friendly environment at Las Vegas Ballpark after posting a 5.76 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 54.2 innings at Triple-A, making him a less-than-desirable fantasy option. Sammy Peralta was optioned to Albuquerque to make room for Sullivan on the active roster, and Chase Dollander (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Senga (spine/arm) will require at least one more minor-league rehab start before the organization considers activating him from the 15-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander had his rehab outing pushed back early this week due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, but he was able to take the mound with Double-A Binghamton on Thursday and gave up just one run across six innings. Senga built up to 75 pitches in that start, so he's already most of the way to a full starting workload and could re-enter the Mets rotation with another solid showing in the minor leagues.

The Cardinals optioned Dobbins to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Dobbins made a couple long-relief appearances and one start for the Cardinals during his stint in the majors. The club had left open the possibility of sticking with Dobbins as part of a six-man rotation for at least another turn, but ultimately it opted to revert back to a five-man setup. Dobbins holds a 3.63 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across 17.1 innings in the majors this season.

Atlanta activated Waldrep (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday and subsequently optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The right-hander has been working his way back from offseason elbow surgery and made his third minor-league rehab start Thursday -- surrendering four runs across 3.2 innings with Double-A Columbus -- so it's an interesting decision by Atlanta to activate him now rather than simply continuing his rehab assignment in the minors. Waldrep posted a 2.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 55:22 K:BB across 56.1 regular-season frames in the big leagues last year and should get another look with Atlanta at some point this summer.

Painter will be used in a bulk-relief role Friday in Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Painter had one other bulk-relief appearance this season and fared well, striking out seven while holding the Diamondbacks to one run over five innings. He will be preceded by opener Tanner Banks.
