Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Lasts four innings versus Toronto
Pallante tossed four innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
Pallante surrendered a two-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero and an RBI single to Matt Chapman in the bottom of the first frame, accounting for all the damage against him in this one. The right-hander was replaced after the fourth inning, leaving the game in a 3-3 tie. Pallante has had a difficult July, producing a 7.85 ERA over four starts during the month. The tough stretch has his season numbers up to a 3.53 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 51 strikeouts over 74 innings in 27 appearances, including nine starts.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Won't face hitters soon
Manager Dave Roberts said that Treinen (shoulder), who threw a bullpen session Tuesday, won't advance to facing live batter for at least a couple more weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The veteran right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past couple weeks, but the Dodgers won't rush his rehab progression into the next stage. Roberts previously mentioned mid-August as the potential return window for Treinen, but that can likely now be pushed into the back half of the month at a minimum.

Dinelson Lamet RP | LAD
Padres' Dinelson Lamet: Recalled by San Diego
Lamet was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Lamet spent the bulk of the last two-plus months in the minors, but he was brought back to take the roster spot of MacKenzie Gore (elbow), who landed on the 15-day injured list in the corresponding move. San Diego's starting rotation is full at the moment, so expect Lamet to work in relief like he did when he was with the big club earlier in the year.
