Atlanta transferred Schwellenbach (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Schwellenbach felt soreness in his elbow a day after a June 28 start against the Phillies and was sent for further tests, which revealed a small fracture. The 25-year-old is expected to be shut down from throwing for at least four weeks and is unlikely to return to the Atlanta rotation until September, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his recovery timeline. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jesse Chavez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

With Sunday's series finale beginning at 11:35 a.m. EDT and with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for the Orioles, Harris will get a breather. The center fielder started each of Atlanta's first five games of July -- three against righties, two against lefties -- and went 4-for-20 with a triple, a stolen base and a run.

Bachar didn't allow a baserunner or strike out a batter in the ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Brewers.

Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez pitched the seventh and eighth innings of a 2-2 game, and Bachar was called upon for the save chance after Miami scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander has been a reliable bullpen option for Miami this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 41 innings, and he hasn't been scored upon in his past 11.1 frames. Bachar isn't likely to see regular save chances but could get the occasional opportunity when Miami's top arms have already been used or are unavailable.

Adames went 3-for-5 with four RBI during Saturday's 7-2 win against the Athletics.

Adames didn't provide any extra-base hits, but he singled with the bases loaded in the first and third innings to provide San Francisco with an early lead. It's the sixth three-hit game of the campaign for the veteran shortstop, who has gone 10-for-23 with two doubles, a homer, six RBI and five runs during a six-game hit streak.

Fernandez went 2-for-4 with a double Saturday against the White Sox.

Fernandez has started three of five games since being promoted July 1 and is settling into a large-side platoon role. He recorded both the first extra-base hit and the first multi-hit game of his career Saturday. While it's a small sample, Fernandez has encouragingly struck out only twice in 10 plate appearances.

Benson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Phillies.

He was given a rare start against a lefty, covering center field for a resting TJ Friedl. Benson gave the Reds a lead with a fifth-inning home run, his seventh of the season and first in 23 games. It's his only hit in 13 at-bats against a southpaw. Benson has largely struggled to produce since an explosive stretch in mid-May, but the bat is showing recent signs of life. He's hit safely in six of his last seven games (five starts), going 8-for-21 (.381) with one double, one homer and three RBI.

Webb (8-6) picked up the win Saturday against the A's, giving up two runs on seven hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.

It's the eighth straight quality start and 15th of the campaign for Webb, with the latter figure leading MLB. The right-hander already has an impressive big-league resume but is potentially in the midst of a career year with a 2.62 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 133:27 K:BB across 120.1 innings

Freeman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run scored Saturday against the White Sox.

Freeman has had an excellent homestand, going 10-for-22 with four doubles, three steals, two runs scored and two RBI across five games. He has at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games at Coors Field and currently has a five-game hitting streak. Freeman has also taken over as the Rockies' primary leadoff hitter, with his last 12 starts coming from atop the order.

Burrows didn't factor in the decision Saturday against the Mariners after allowing three hits and four walks over five shutout innings. He struck out six.

Burrows struggled with his control as he set a season high with four walks, but he was able to scatter three hits to keep Seattle off the board. The right-hander has yet to last six frames in any of his nine outings this season, but he's pitched well as a back-end rotation piece for Pittsburgh with a 3.63 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB in 39.2 innings.

Beck went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against the White Sox.

Beck got the Rockies' offense going with a two-run single in the first inning. That was his only hit of the game, but he's been productive on the team's current homestand by collecting eight hits in 22 at-bats with three RBI and two runs scored. Beck's production has come in bunches, but he's produced a well-rounded line with 10 homers, 10 steals and a .268 batting average across 316 plate appearances this season.
