The Rockies optioned Sullivan to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Sullivan will head back to Triple-A after failing to establish himself during his first four MLB starts and accumulating an 8.64 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 16.2 innings. He'll be replaced in Colorado's rotation by Tanner Gordon (hip), who returned from the injured list to start Tuesday's game against Miami.

Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Steer started the previous two games but will hit the bench for Tuesday's contest. The 28-year-old has a .125/.200/.292 slash line and 32.5 percent strikeout rate in his past 21 games, dropping his season-long OPS to .734. It's Steer's third absence in Cincinnati's past five games as Noelvi Marte is seeing more consistent playing time in right field.

The Rockies reinstated Gordon (hip) from the injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Marlins.

Gordon has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a hip impingement, but he'll now return to the Rockies' rotation after throwing four shutout innings during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. He threw just 38 pitches during his minor-league appearance, so he could be subjected to a workload restriction during his first start back in the majors. Sean Sullivan was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Adames (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The veteran shortstop was absent from Monday's starting nine after exiting Sunday's contest due to back spasms, and he'll sit for a second straight game Tuesday. Casey Schmitt will fill in at shortstop with Adames on the bench, allowing Drew Gilbert to pick up a start in the outfield.

Pratt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

After starting at shortstop in each of Milwaukee's last six games, Pratt will give way to Joey Ortiz on Tuesday. Since being promoted from Triple-A Nashville on June 16, Pratt is batting just .211, but he's been able to maintain some fantasy relevance by going 5-for-5 on stolen-base attempts.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Vaughn was included in the lineup in the Brewers' last four games and went 3-for-13 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during that stretch, but all but one of those starts came against left-handed pitchers. The 28-year-old remains stuck in more of a part-time role versus righties, with Milwaukee typically prioritizing Jake Bauers at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter over Vaughn in those matchups.

Lopez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Lopez will get a breather after going 2-for-5 with a homer and a double during Monday's victory. Javier Sanoja will slide over to shortstop while Lopez sits, opening up third base for Leo Jimenez.

The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday.

Hernandez will lose his place on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters after turning in an 8.15 ERA and 1.75 WHIP alongside a 15:12 K:BB through 17.2 innings with the Dodgers. Wyatt Mills was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

The Dodgers recalled Mills from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Mills owns a 2.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 30.2 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll now return to the Dodgers to give the big club a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Jonathan Hernandez.

The Marlins recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Jacksonville on Friday but will quickly return to the big leagues since Anthony Bender (shin) was placed on the injured list. Bryzkcy hasn't pitched in the majors this season across his two short stints with the Marlins. He has a 3.86 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB across 30.1 innings at Triple-A.
