    Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Back with Dodgers to help bullpen

    The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Sheehan will be used in relief for the time being, giving some length to an overworked Dodgers bullpen. The right-hander struck out eight over 5.2 scoreless innings in his last start for Oklahoma City. Sheehan was sent down by the Dodgers earlier this month after collecting a 5.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 108:30 K:BB across 95.1 innings at the big-league level.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Exiting starting lineup

    Lee is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cleveland.

    Lee is in a 5-for-33 rut at the plate, so he will receive a day off in order to regroup. Victor Bericoto will slot into right field for the Giants in the series opener.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Out of lineup again Tuesday

    Arenado (intercostal) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

    Arenado is dealing with a minor left intercostal injury and will miss a second straight start. The Diamondbacks are optimistic he will be able to avoid the injured list, but with a team off day looming Thursday, it's possible Arenado will be held out until the club returns home Friday. Jose Fernandez will occupy third base for Arizona on Tuesday.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Remains out of action Tuesday

    Adames (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

    Adames has not played since injuring his back last Wednesday. The veteran shortstop has been cleared for full baseball activities, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, but will miss a fourth consecutive start Tuesday. Christian Koss will again fill in at shortstop for Adames.

  • Isaac Mattson RP | PIT

    Pirates' Isaac Mattson: Sent to Indianapolis

    The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

    Mattson was needed for two innings and 41 pitches in Monday's loss to the Tigers, so he wasn't going to be available for a day or two. Antwone Kelly will absorb Mattson's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • Antwone Kelly RP | PIT

    Pirates' Antwone Kelly: Rejoins big club

    The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    It's the fourth stint in the majors this season for Kelly, with his three prior stays all lasting two days or fewer. The right-hander has struggled in his first three MLB appearances, surrendering five earned runs with a 4:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

  • Austin Warren RP | NYM

    Mets' Austin Warren: Back from IL

    The Mets reinstated Warren (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    The right-hander has been sidelined nearly six weeks due to a forearm strain, and he's now ready to rejoin the active roster after an eight-outing rehab assignment. Warren has a 4.63 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB across 35 innings (26 appearances) for the Mets this year.

  • Mets' Chayce McDermott: Sent down to Syracuse

    The Mets optioned McDermott to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Austin Warren (forearm) from the injured list. McDermott has made four relief appearances between the Dodgers and Mets this season, allowing four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Continuing rehab assignment

    Frelick (shoulder) joined the Brewers on Tuesday for a workout and will then continue his minor-league rehab assignment, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    Frelick is already seven games into his rehab assignment, and Tuesday's workout should help to determine how many more minor-league games he'll need before coming off the injured list. The 26-year-old has just five hits in 22 at-bats in his rehab games thus far, though three of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

  • JoJo Romero RP | MIL

    Brewers' JoJo Romero: Facing hitters Friday

    Romero (abdomen) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Romero is slated for a multi-inning bullpen session Tuesday before facing hitters Friday. If things go well during his live BP, Romero will be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Coming back from an appendectomy, Romero should join the Brewers' bullpen later this month.
