Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Rockies' Tyler Anderson: Surgery decision coming soon
Anderson will decide whether or not to undergo knee surgery within the next few days, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Anderson struggled to start the season and was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque in early May. It was then revealed that he'd been dealing with left knee inflammation. His recovery timeline from any potential procedure is not yet known, but his absence would likely be a long one.

Brewers' Chase Anderson: Back but not yet active
Anderson (finger) is back with the Brewers after making a rehab start Monday but won't be activated until later in the week, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Anderson appears to be ready to go, but there's no reason for the Brewers to activate him just yet while he's not yet ready to pitch. His role once he returns remains unclear, but there's a chance he takes Freddy Peralta's spot in the rotation Saturday in Atlanta.

Julio Urias SP | LAD
Dodgers' Julio Urias: Placed on administrative leave
Urias was placed on seven-day administrative leave Tuesday after being arrested for domestic battery the night before, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The league will likely keep Urias on leave while it investigates the details of the incident. Depending on the results of the investigation, a suspension could follow.

Wes Parsons RP | CLE
Braves' Wes Parsons: Recalled from Triple-A
Parson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Parsons started the season in Atlanta but was sent down after recording a poor 10:8 K:BB and a mediocre 4.35 ERA in 10.1 innings. He's back up after throwing seven scoreless innings for Gwinnett and will likely fill a low-leverage role.

Sixto Sanchez SP | MIA
Marlins' Sixto Sanchez: Moving to Double-A
Sanchez was promoted to Double-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
The Marlins managed Sanchez's workload with a late start to the season, but he'll move up after just two starts for High-A Jupiter. He didn't pitch particularly well in those two starts, allowing six runs in 11 innings while striking out just six batters, but the Marlins may simply have been treating those as a quick tune-up before he spends the bulk of the season with Jacksonville. Over his five-year minor-league career, the 20-year-old has a 2.60 ERA with a 21.4 percent strikeout rate and 4.9 percent walk rate.

Julio Urias SP | LAD
Dodgers' Julio Urias: Booked on domestic-violence charge
Urias was arrested Monday on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery, Jonathan Lloyd and Oleevia Woo of NBC4 Southern California report.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Urias was taken into custody at 9:30 p.m. local time before being released on bond early Tuesday. Additional details regarding Urias' arrest haven't emerged, and the Dodgers have yet to issue a formal statement on the matter. After opening the season in the rotation, Urias transitioned to a bullpen role in late April. He's posted a 3.18 ERA and 32:9 K:BB across nine appearances (four starts) over 28.1 innings this season.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Marlins' Zac Gallen: Continues dominating PCL
Gallen allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out nine for Triple-A New Orleans on Monday.
The right-hander leads the Pacific Coast League in wins (five), ERA (1.16), WHIP (0.55) and strikeouts (64) as he continues to shoot up prospect rankings. Gallen is ready for the majors; the only question is when the Marlins will be ready to start his service-time clock.

Robbie Ray SP | SD
Diamondbacks' Robbie Ray: Fans six in win
Ray (3-1) tossed five innings Monday, yielding two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks while earning the victory over Pittsburgh. He struck out six batters.
After giving up a pair of runs in the first frame, Ray settled in and kept the Pirates under control while his offense gave him plenty of support. It was his fourth straight outing with at least six strikeouts despite him not finishing the sixth inning in any of those starts. The 27-year-old will carry a 3.14 ERA into Sunday's home matchup against the Giants.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: No-decision against Phillies
Peralta didn't factor into the decision against the Phillies on Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on seven hits over four innings, striking out five, and walking none as the Brewers fell 7-4.
Peralta only conceded one earned run, but wasn't efficient, as he needed 80 pitches to get through four frames before exiting the contest. The right-hander tossed an eight-inning, 11-strikeout gem against the Reds on April 3, but he's struggled on the whole so far this season, as he's sporting a 6.16 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP over 30.2 innings.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Labors in no-decision
Nola lasted just three innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Monday, giving up three earned runs on five hits, striking out three, and walking three as the Phillies eventually prevailed 7-4.
Nola struggled with his command in this outing, issuing three free passes and needing 84 pitches to get through three frames before being forced from the game. He had been on a nice run coming into this contest, holding opponents to just one earned run in each of his last three starts, but this setback leaves him with a 4.86 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP through 46.1 innings. Those numbers are a far cry from the dominant campaign he put together last season, when he emerged as a Cy Young candidate with a 2.37 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 224 strikeouts in 212.1 innings.
