Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Troy (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno this week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Troy has been out since mid-July after sustaining an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Due to the time that he's already missed, Troy will likely need at least a handful of rehab games before making his return from the injured list. Troy may have to settle for a reserve role in the outfield once he's reinstated.

DeLauter has been scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

DeLauter was initially penciled into the starting nine in the DH slot, but he was replaced after it was reported that he's still dealing with some nagging hamstring tightness, which is an issue that forced him to miss three games last week in a series against the Giants. He can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Pederson was ejected from Monday's game against the White Sox after being denied a challenge, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. He went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before exiting.

Pederson voiced his displeasure with the home plate umpire from the dugout after he was denied an ABS challenge earlier in the game, and he was promptly ejected from the matchup. Justin Foscue was called on to replace Pederson in the DH slot following his departure.

Bachman (forearm) has yet to resume mound work, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Bachman was cleared to begin a throwing program two weeks ago, and while he has continued to throw, the Angels reported Monday that he's yet to toss off a mound since landing on the injured list. He'll need to complete at least a few bullpen sessions and then progress to facing live hitters before being activated, which likely means he's looking at a return at some point in early-to-mid September if all goes to plan.

Meckler (concussion) has been cleared to resume baseball activities, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Meckler landed on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday after being struck by a pitch in the head Thursday, and he's since been given the green light to resume workouts and some baseball activities. It remains to be seen whether he'll be ready to come off the injured list Friday, though it's a positive sign that he's starting to ramp back up.

Burgos was recalled from Triple-A Reno prior to Monday's game against the Cubs.

Burgos was sent down in late July and didn't show much improvement while pitching for Reno, accruing a 10.80 ERA and 2.04 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 8.1 innings. However, Arizona is in need of a fresh arm after optioning Mitch Bratt, opening up a roster spot for Burgos.

Brubaker was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to bruised ribs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's not clear at this time when Brubaker picked up the rib injury, but it'll cost him some time on the shelf. Ryan Walker was recalled to take Brubaker's place in the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against Cincinnati.

Wilkinson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wilkinson was tagged for four runs on seven hits while striking out a pair in Sunday's start against Boston, and the club has elected to bring up a fresh arm rather than give him another opportunity in the rotation. The Giants promoted Anthony Molina to the big leagues Monday, who could be in line to start one of Saturday's games against Arizona.

Molina was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Molina was acquired by the Giants in early August and has fared well at Triple-A, where he's posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 11.0 innings (four appearances). Matt Wilkinson was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, and with San Francisco scheduled to play a doubleheader Saturday, Molina could be the favorite start one of Saturday's matchups.

Walker was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Walker will receive another opportunity in the major leagues after he was optioned July 9. He's been solid at Triple-A Sacramento in 12 appearances since his demotion, working to a 1.47 ERA and 0.93 with a 19:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings.
