Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Activated, heads to Triple-A
The Dodgers reinstated Henriquez (foot) from the 60-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Henriquez had been stuck on the IL all season while recovering from a metatarsal injury to his left foot, but he was cleared to begin a minor-league assignment May 29 and appears to have emerged from his 30-day rehab period in sound health. The Dodgers don't have room for the 23-year-old righty in the big-league bullpen, so he'll stick around at Oklahoma City, where he had made all 12 of his rehab appearances while logging a 6.75 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in 12 innings.

Dodgers' Noah Davis: Called up Sunday
The Dodgers recalled Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
The right-hander was optioned to Oklahoma City in early June after a one-day stint in the majors, but he'll rejoin the big club for Sunday's series finale in Kansas City. Across his three stints in the big leagues this season, Davis has given up three earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

Tyler Freeman RF | COL
Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Tossed from Sunday's contest
Freeman went 0-for-1 with a walk before he was ejected after the top of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Brewers for arguing balls and strikes, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Freeman took issue with a called third strike during his second plate appearance of the day and was tossed from the game along with Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer, who left the dugout to jaw at the home plate umpire. Sam Hilliard took over in right field in the bottom of the third inning in place of Freeman, who isn't expected to face any discipline from MLB due to his ejection. Expect Freeman to be back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Astros at Coors Field.

Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA
Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Resting against lefty
Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Stowers and fellow left-handed-hitting outfielder Jesus Sanchez will head to the bench Sunday while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez toes the rubber for Arizona. Heriberto Hernandez will get the nod in left field in place of Stowers, who slashed .321/.472/.786 with three home runs, six RBI and eight runs while starting each of the last eight games.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Idle for series finale
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
After starting each of the last nine games, the left-handed-hitting Sanchez will receive a breather while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the bump. Dane Myers will slide over from center field to replace Sanchez in right field in the series finale.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Makes precautionary exit Sunday
Arenado said after Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians that his removal from the contest was due to a jammed right index finger, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Arenado went 2-for-3 with a double before he was lifted for a pinch hitter as a precautionary measure in the top of the eighth inning. The Cardinals were up 5-0 at the time of Arenado's departure, which adds credence to the idea that the third baseman's removal was precautionary. Even so, fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on Arenado's status heading into Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh.

Riley Adams C | WAS
Nationals' Riley Adams: Receiving breather Sunday
Adams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
After Keibert Ruiz was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to a concussion, Adams proceeded to start behind the plate in each of the Nationals' last four games while going 5-for-15 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI during that stretch. Drew Millas will get the nod at catcher Sunday, but Adams should dominate the playing time at the position until Ruiz is activated.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Still sitting Sunday
Naylor (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Naylor was unable to play in Saturday's 8-7 loss after he exited Friday's 9-8 loss due to neck stiffness, and he'll remain on the bench for the start of Sunday's series finale. Pavin Smith will man first base while Randal Grichuk serves as the designated hitter versus Miami righty Cal Quantrill.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Cubs' Jon Berti: Drawing rare start Sunday
Berti will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Berti will enter the lineup for just the second time since rookie Matt Shaw was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in mid-May. Shaw has posted a .655 OPS since his call-up, which has been good enough to keep Berti on the bench.
