The Brewers optioned Patrick to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Patrick was called up to start the Brewers' series finale versus the Giants on Sunday, when he came away with the no-decision in a 4-3 loss after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings. Though the right-hander will head back to Triple-A, he could be a candidate to make additional starts for the Brewers in September if the team loses another rotation member to an injury.

The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Myers has allowed just one unearned run with a 10:0 K:BB over 10 innings during his six relief outings in the majors this season. He will be deployed as a multi-inning reliever with the Brewers.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

McGee holds a 7.36 ERA and 10:5 K:BB over 11 innings during his time in the Brewers bullpen this season. The 6-foot-7 righty will likely be used in low-leverage spots.

The Brewers placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right ankle tendinitis.

He'll be eligible to return Sept. 8, but it's unclear if Anderson will be ready to go by that date. The right-handed reliever has pitched well out of the Brewers bullpen this season, posting a 2.87 ERA and 66:27 K:BB over 62.2 innings.

Andujar is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Andujar will be on the bench for the start of Monday's series opener while Gavin Lux serves as the designated hitter and Matt McLain starts at second base. Andujar is out of the Reds' starting nine for the third time in four games despite slashing .358/.424/.623 with three homers and 11 RBI in 18 games since being acquired by the Reds from the Athletics in late July.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Abreu (calf) is not progressing as quickly as hoped, and the outfielder is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list this week, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Abreu is eligible for reinstatement Thursday, but he's going to need more time to recover from his right calf strain. Cora indicated that a return for Abreu sometime next week is likely, but that will be contingent on the 26-year-old making strides with his recovery. Roman Anthony has been serving as the club's everyday right fielder since Abreu was placed on the IL on Aug. 21.

Garcia is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the coming days to receive a second opinion on his right elbow injury, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Garcia was placed on the injured list July 5 after experiencing nerve symptoms in his right elbow, and though he had been cleared to start throwing, the 35-year-old hasn't been bouncing back from his workouts as quickly as anticipated. The upcoming consultation with Dr. Meister should provide more insight into the nature of Garcia's injury as well as a treatment plan, but even if he receives good news from the meeting, the right-hander's return to the Toronto bullpen shouldn't be viewed as imminent.

Ortiz (hamstring) fielded grounders Monday and hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 1, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Ortiz suffered a left hamstring strain last Thursday and was placed on the IL on Friday. He'll have to show he can ramp up his running without issue before convincing the Brewers he'll need only a minimum-length absence, but Ortiz seems to be doing well during the early stages of his recovery.

Sandlin rejoined the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday after he experienced some discomfort in his right elbow when he recently played catch out to 120 feet, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The Blue Jays will reassess Sandlin before determining his next steps, but the organization is hopeful that his setback is a minor one that won't result in a prolonged shutdown from the throwing. The reliever has resided on the 15-day injured list since July 8 due to right elbow inflammation.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that Chourio (hamstring) will remain on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville for a few more days before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Murphy noted that Chourio looked tentative while running the bases on a double during a rehab game Sunday, so the club will keep the outfielder at Nashville for a little while longer until he's able to run at full effort without worrying about his right hamstring. Chourio could be ready to go for the opening game of the Brewers' road trip Friday in Toronto, but that will depend on how he looks and feels in his rehab games between now and then.
