Carroll (elbow) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Carroll was lifted from Sunday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a hyperextended right elbow on a swing. He is considered day-to-day. Jorge Barrosa will take over in right field for the Diamondbacks while Carroll rests.

The Padres recalled Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Duran will serve as a third catcher for the Padres, potentially allowing the club to use Luis Campusano more in its designated hitter spot. The 28-year-old Duran has slashed just .146/.222/.305 in 35 games with the big club this season.

The Padres placed Andujar on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured right wrist.

Andujar was struck by a Lucas Erceg pitch during Sunday's win over the Royals. He remained in that contest, but subsequent testing revealed a fracture. Andujar needs only a splint and not a cast, and the Padres expect him to return sometime in August, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. With Andujar shelved, the Padres could utilize Manny Machado in the designated hitter spot and Sung-Mun Song at third base. On Monday in Atlanta, the club has Xander Bogaerts at DH and Song at shortstop.

The Cubs designated Pomeranz for assignment Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Pomeranz latched on with the Cubs earlier this month after being released by the Angels, but he fared worse during his time with the Northsiders. Between the two stops, the lefty holds a 5.59 ERA and 17:16 K:BB over 29 innings this season. The 37-year-old Pomeranz could have to accept a minor-league contract if he wants to continue pitching.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

With a tough lefty (Cristopher Sanchez) on the bump for the Phillies, the left-handed-hitting Muncy will hit the bench while the Dodgers make room in the infield for Miguel Rojas. Muncy had started in each of the Dodgers' previous five games, going 3-for-15 with a home run, a double, four walks, two runs and two RBI.

The Cubs placed Maton on the 15-day injured list Monday with right knee tendinitis, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Maton returned just over a week ago from the same injury and is now back on the IL after making just one appearance. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that it will be "a little more of an extended absence" for Maton this time around, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. The reliever will receive multiple opinions on his knee before deciding on a course of action. It's been a struggle this season for the veteran reliever, as Maton has posted an ugly 6.18 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 31 outings after inking a two-year, $14.5 million contract last offseason.

The Cubs activated Taillon (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Taillon will rejoin the Cubs' rotation with a start Monday against the Tigers after missing the last six weeks of action with a strained left hamstring. The veteran right-hander threw only 53 pitches in his last rehab start with Triple-A Iowa, so he will be relatively limited from a workload perspective versus Detroit.

Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com, Lopez was spotted on the field playing catch during pregame warmups, but the Marlins will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row while he recovers from right ring finger inflammation. Javier Sanjoa will serve as Miami's shortstop and bat ninth inm Monday's series opener.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Waldrep was removed from his start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday after just 36 pitches because "his arm didn't feel right," Harrison Smajovits of SI.com reports.

Waldrep managed to throw three scoreless innings in the outing, but he averaged just 92.8 mph with his sinker, down from his 94.2 average. He will be evaluated before next steps are taken. Waldrep had surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow back in February, which caused him to miss the first two months of the season.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Gonzalez will retreat to the bench Monday while the Yankees send southpaw Ryan Weathers to the bump for the series opener. Since being acquired from the White Sox on July 10, Gonzalez has made both of his starts at shortstop and has gone 3-for-10 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs through his first four games with the Pirates.
