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

Brzykcy has spent nearly all of the season at Jacksonville, where he's logged a 4.09 ERA and 35:19 K:BB over 33 innings. The right-hander will operate in low-leverage relief.

The Marlins placed Meyer on the 15-day injured list Monday with a neck strain.

According to manager Clayton McCullough, Meyer first reported discomfort in his neck during his July 7 start against the Mariners, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. He was given extra rest before his next outing but labored through three innings Saturday in Milwaukee. The right-hander will be eligible for activation Aug. 4, but the Marlins have not yet offered a timeline for Meyer's return. Braxton Garrett has pitched well lately at Triple-A Jacksonville and could take Meyer's spot in the Miami rotation.

The Diamondbacks recalled Burgos from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Burgos can provide multiple innings for an overused Arizona bullpen. The 26-year-old allowed one run in 1.1 innings in his lone appearance for the Diamondbacks earlier this season, and he's posted a 5.88 ERA and 23:15 K:BB over 33.2 frames with Reno.

The Diamondbacks optioned Abner to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Abner threw 46 pitches over two shutout innings in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. It will be Juan Burgos taking Abner's spot on the roster.

Kelly is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.

It's a routine day off for Kelly. Miguel Amaya will do the catching for the Cubs and occupy the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

Lile is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Colorado.

The left-handed-hitting Lile plays against most lefties, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to the hill. Andres Chaparro is picking up a start in Lile's stead.

Carroll (elbow) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Carroll was lifted from Sunday's game against the Cardinals after suffering a hyperextended right elbow on a swing. He is considered day-to-day. Jorge Barrosa will take over in right field for the Diamondbacks while Carroll rests.

The Padres recalled Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Duran will serve as a third catcher for the Padres, potentially allowing the club to use Luis Campusano more in its designated hitter spot. The 28-year-old Duran has slashed just .146/.222/.305 in 35 games with the big club this season.

The Padres placed Andujar on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured right wrist.

Andujar was struck by a Lucas Erceg pitch during Sunday's win over the Royals. He remained in that contest, but subsequent testing revealed a fracture. Andujar needs only a splint and not a cast, and the Padres expect him to return sometime in August, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. With Andujar shelved, the Padres could utilize Manny Machado in the designated hitter spot and Sung-Mun Song at third base. On Monday in Atlanta, the club has Xander Bogaerts at DH and Song at shortstop.

The Cubs designated Pomeranz for assignment Monday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Pomeranz latched on with the Cubs earlier this month after being released by the Angels, but he fared worse during his time with the Northsiders. Between the two stops, the lefty holds a 5.59 ERA and 17:16 K:BB over 29 innings this season. The 37-year-old Pomeranz could have to accept a minor-league contract if he wants to continue pitching.
