The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A on May 26 but will rejoin Colorado on Tuesday with Zach Agnos (personal) landing on the bereavement list. Chivilli opened the campaign in the Rockies bullpen and had a 6.14 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB across 29.1 innings prior to being demoted.

The Rockies placed Gordon on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 31, due to a left oblique strain.

Gordon presumably sustained the injury during his start against the Cubs on Wednesday, when he gave up two runs on six hits with one strikeout and no walks over 4.2 innings. Regardless of the injury, the right-hander still may have lost his place in Colorado's rotation with Chase Dollander (forearm) returning from the IL to start Tuesday in Miami.

Nelson will move into the Diamondbacks' rotation following the injury to Corbin Burnes (elbow), John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Nelson has yielded just three runs over 16 innings in three starts this season, although that's come with an underwhelming 8:6 K:BB. It's not known when he will make his next start for the Diamondbacks, but his last appearance came on Saturday when he tossed four scoreless relief innings against the Nationals.

The Diamondbacks will recall Henry from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Henry will be utilized in long relief by Arizona. The left-hander tossed 2.2 scoreless relief innings during his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks earlier this season.

The Rockies reinstated Dollander (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The right-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks due to forearm inflammation, but he's rejoining Colorado's rotation Tuesday without a minor-league rehab assignment. Through his first eight MLB starts, Dollander has struggled to a 6.28 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks are expected to place Burnes (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

There's no word yet on the specifics of Burnes' right elbow injury, as he is getting a second opinion after initial tests were inconclusive. However, he is set to miss at least the next couple weeks of action. Tommy Henry will be summoned from Triple-A Reno to take Burnes' roster spot and Ryne Nelson will slide into the rotation.

The Rockies placed Agnos (personal) on the bereavement list Tuesday.

Agnos secured his fourth save of the season Monday in Miami with a scoreless ninth inning, but he'll now step away from the team for a few days for personal reasons. Players can be on the bereavement list for 3-to-7 days, so the right-hander could be back on the active roster for Friday's series opener versus the Mets.

Burnes is set to receive a second opinion on the right elbow injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Nationals after initial tests were inconclusive, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

Burnes appeared to be in significant pain after exiting his start Sunday midway through the fifth inning, but the Diamondbacks haven't provided much word regarding the nature and severity of his injury beyond labeling it as right elbow inflammation. With the MRI he underwent Monday proving to be inconclusive, the Diamondbacks will send Burnes in for additional testing, and Gambadoro relays that the team expects to have more clarity on the right-hander's status by Thursday or Friday. At the very least, Burnes seems likely to miss his next turn through the rotation this weekend in Cincinnati, and fantasy managers should brace for the possibility of a long-term absence for 30-year-old.

Sheets (head/hip/wrist/thumb) grounded out as a pinch hitter in Monday's 1-0 win over the Giants.

Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Sheets was evaluated for a head bruise, hip soreness and wrist/thumb soreness after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday against Pittsburgh. The veteran slugger was also evaluated for a concussion, though he appears to have passed through protocol given his ability to enter as a pinch hitter Monday. Sheets said prior to the game against San Francisco that he expects to avoid being placed on the IL, and the pinch-hit appearance similarly suggests that such a stint won't be needed.

Walker (1-3) was tagged with the loss in Monday's 1-0 extra-inning defeat to the Padres, allowing one unearned run over one inning.

Walker induced three straight outs in the 10th, but a sacrifice bunt and subsequent sacrifice fly brought home the automatic runner. The right-hander threw six of his seven pitches for strikes while taking his third loss of the season, as the Giants' offensive struggles continued. Walker was removed from the closer role Wednesday and now owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 20:7 K:BB across 22.0 innings in 25 appearances. He has also recorded 10 saves, three holds and two blown saves.
