Seymour has experience working as a starter, but lately he has been working out of the Triple-A bullpen, logging a 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 16 innings over eight appearances. He could eventually work in high-leverage situations after Erik Miller and Caleb Kilian were dealt at the deadline.

Eldridge is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Right-hander Cal Quantrill is on the bump for the Rangers, but the left-handed-hitting Eldridge will get a breather nonetheless. Nate Furman will pick up a start at designated hitter in place of Eldridge, who slashed .220/.315/.385 with five home runs, one stolen base, 10 RBI and 14 runs while he was a part of the lineup for each of the Giants' last 29 games.

The Giants recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

With the trade deadline in the rear-view mirror, the Giants have multiple rotation and several bullpen spots to fill. Tidwell will be summoned to fill one of the voids in the rotation, with the Giants confirming that he'll start Tuesday's game against the Rangers in Texas, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Tidwell made each of his eight appearances with the Giants earlier in the season out of the bullpen, but he had been part of the rotation at Triple-A since being demoted April 29. Over his last six outings with Sacramento, Tidwell posted a 3.13 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 31.2 innings.

Atlanta optioned Ritchie to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Ritchie is being sent down one day after making a spot start against the Nationals, during which he gave up a pair of runs over four innings. The young right-hander has logged a 4.50 ERA and 53:36 K:BB over 58 innings covering eight starts and six relief outings during his time with the big club this season.

Atlanta optioned Karinchak to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Karinchak has allowed two runs with an 8:5 K:BB over 9.2 frames out of the Atlanta bullpen this season. He'll head back to Gwinnett for now but could get another opportunity later with the big club later in the campaign.

Atlanta designated Mateo for assignment Monday.

Mateo has slashed .240/.285/.380 this season and has started only one game since the All-Star break. With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) returning from the injured list Monday, Atlanta has opted to drop Mateo from its 40-man roster.

Colorado recalled Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.comreports.

Beck, who was recently activated from the injured list due to a hamstring strain, is back with the big-league club for the first time since mid-May. In 30 games before being sidelined, the 25-year-old slashed .183/.227/.305 with one homer and 10 RBI through 88 plate appearances. Beck is not in Monday's lineup for the series opener against the Rays, but is available off the bench.

Atlanta activated Murphy (finger) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Murphy has rejoined the big club after a fractured left middle finger kept him shelved since mid-May. He's been limited to only four games this season due to injury but was cleared to return after slashing .381/.417/.429 in six rehab contests. Murphy will serve as the No. 2 catcher in Atlanta behind Drake Baldwin and should see some occasional starts in the designated-hitter spot when Baldwin is behind the plate.

Atlanta activated Kim (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kim had been shelved since July 4 due to right middle finger inflammation. He's gone just 5-for-73 (.068 average) in the majors this season and slashed an underwhelming .216/.355/.353 in 16 rehab contests. Jim Jarvis remains on the active roster and could continue to serve as Atlanta's primary shortstop over Kim.
