Padres' Ty Harvey: Back in action at Single-A
Harvey (finger) has gone 0-for-6 with three walks, one stolen base and one run in two games for Single-A Lake Elsinore since being activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Harvey had been on the shelf since May 26 after fracturing a finger on his left hand. The 20-year-old catcher has been limited to just 17 games with Lake Elsinore this season due to injury but has been productive when available, slashing .302/.448/.396 with five doubles and six stolen bases.

Giants' Daniel Susac: Sitting again Monday
Susac is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Endy Rodriguez C | PIT
Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Back from IL
The Pirates reinstated Rodriguez (glute) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Rodriguez won't be included in the starting nine for Monday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks, but he should at the very least move back into a timeshare at catcher with Henry Davis. Before hitting the shelf July 8 due to a left glute strain, Rodriguez slashed .260/.388/.470 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 16 RBI and 15 runs over his 35 games with Pittsburgh. The Pirates optioned catcher Shawn Ross to Triple-A Indianapolis to open up a spot on the active roster for Rodriguez.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
Braves' Drake Baldwin: On base five times in Sunday's win
Baldwin went 2-for-3 with three walks in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Orioles.
Baltimore wanted nothing to do with Baldwin after he singled in his first two trips to the plate in an eventual 11-inning win for Atlanta. The 25-year-old backstop has hit safely in five straight games, and over 10 contests since returning from his first All-Star Game appearance, he's delivered a sizzling .436/.542/.821 slash line with five homers, a steal, nine runs and 10 RBI.

Drew Cavanaugh C | SF
Giants' Drew Cavanaugh: Multi-hit effort in loss
Cavanaugh went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.
Cavanaugh hit a leadoff single in the third inning and added another base hit in the seventh. Additionally, he drew a walk in the ninth before coming around to score San Francisco's final run. The 24-year-old catcher has recorded at least one plate appearance in four straight games and continues to split playing time with Daniel Susac. Cavanaugh is now slashing .262/.392/.262 with three runs scored and two RBI across 53 plate appearances this season.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Runs RBI streak to five games
Moreno went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Nationals.
Moreno extended an RBI streak to five games, during which he's gone 9-for-19 (.474) with three doubles, a home run and eight RBI. The catcher has a .315/.396/.458 slash line with seven home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 43 runs scored over 79 games.

Daniel Susac C | SF
Giants' Daniel Susac: Taking seat Sunday
Susac is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
After starting in the Giants' previous two contests, Susac will head to the bench for the series finale while Drew Cavanaugh gets the nod behind the plate. Susac and Cavanaugh are likely to continue sharing most of the playing time at catcher, with Jesus Rodriguez seeing occasional reps as a third option at the position.

Drew Cavanaugh C | SF
Giants' Drew Cavanaugh: Back in starting nine Sunday
Cavanaugh (illness) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Angels.
Daniel Susac started behind the plate in the first two contests of the series, after Cavanaugh was scratched ahead of Friday's 7-6 win due to an illness. Cavanaugh felt well enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 9-2 win, and he'll now draw back into the starting nine while Susac rests for the series finale.
