The Athletics placed Kuroda-Grauer on the 10-day injured list Tuesday following surgery for a ruptured testicle.

The A's haven't provided a timeline for Kuroda-Grauer's return, though he will likely remain on the shelf beyond the 10-day minimum. Max Muncy will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move and could see time at third base while Kuroda-Grauer is out.

The Athletics recalled Juenger from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Juenger will provide depth to the Athletics' bullpen while Mark Leiter (hip) is on the injured list. Juenger has given up five earned runs in six innings at Las Vegas since being traded to the A's in June, and he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in the majors.

The Athletics placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, with a right hip impingement.

Leiter already spent time on the injured list in late June and early July due to a right hip impingement, and he'll now end up back on the shelf after aggravating the injury. Hayden Juenger was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the Athletics' bullpen depth.

Misiorowski will start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

The flamethrowing right-hander wasn't initially listed among Milwaukee's probable pitchers for this weekend, but he'll end up taking his regular turn through the rotation Sunday. Misiorowski covered just four frames Monday against the Mets in his return from a bout of arm fatigue, with manager Pat Murphy indicating that the 24-year-old was still getting his legs back under him in his first start since July 7. Misiorowski may have a shorter leash going forward after having a heavy first-half workload, though he seems likely to work beyond the 65 pitches he was limited to Monday.

Stephenson is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Stephen will rest on the bench Tuesday after going 3-for-7 with two home runs over the last two games since he last sat on the bench Saturday. However, all three of those hits came in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies as he failed to reach base in Monday's 8-0 loss to the Mariners. Jose Trevino has the start behind the dish and is batting seventh Tuesday.

Steer is not in Tuesday's lineup versus Seattle following Monday's game in which he was hit in the ribs by a pitch.

Sal Stewart is starting at first base for Steer on Tuesday while Eugenio Suarez takes over at third and Nathaniel Lowe serves as the designated hitter. Steer underwent X-rays following Monday's game. The Reds finish off the series in Seattle on Wednesday before getting the day off Thursday as they head to St. Louis.

Lopez (finger) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Astros, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Lopez sat out the Marlins' last two games while recovering from a finger injury he suffered while fielding a groundball Saturday. The issue appears to have subsided ahead of Tuesday's contest, however, so he'll reclaim his regular spot at shortstop. The 27-year-old has had an outstanding July up to this point, slashing .345/.377/.618 with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs and two steals in 13 games.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

After fouling a pitch off his right shin Monday against the Rangers, the 24-year-old shortstop was initially penciled in to start Tuesday's contest. Montgomery will instead miss at least one start due to the injury and should be considered day-to-day with the bruise.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Montgomery was originally set to remain in the lineup Tuesday after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday, but he'll instead receive the day off to recover. Luisangel Acuna will fill in as Chicago's shortstop and bat eighth.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

In a corresponding move, the Giants placed Trevor McDonald on the 15-day IL Tuesday due to an elbow strain. Beck made five appearances with Sacramento after being optioned June 24. Across those appearances, he gave up four earned runs on seven hits, two homers and five walks across 8.2 innings.
