Bukauskas (elbow) will face hitters Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Bukauskas has already missed over a month with a flexor strain. He's making progress towards a return to action, though the Diamondbacks have yet to specify when that's expected to happen.

Gsellman is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks with a torn right lat, Steve Gelbs of SportsNet New York reports.

The 27-year-old was placed on the injured list earlier in the day and is now facing an extended absence dur to the injury. It's unclear if Gsellman will require surgery, but he'll be unavailable until at least early August if the initial timeline holds throughout his recovery.

Cousins had his contract selected by the Brewers on Monday.

The right-hander will join the Brewers for his first taste of major-league action after receiving a promotion to Triple-A Nashville in late May. Cousins began the season at Double-A Biloxi and has a 2.55 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings between the two minor-league levels. Zach Godley was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Uceta hasn't shown much to get excited about in limited big-league action this season. After allowing five runs while recording five outs Sunday against the Diamondbacks, he now owns a 6.28 ERA in 14.1 innings on the year. Outfielder Zach Reks was called up in a corresponding move.

Alzolay (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Monday versus Cleveland.

The right-hander has been on the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger for the past two weeks, but he'll rejoin the rotation Monday without requiring a rehab assignment. Alzolay has a 4.06 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 62:16 K:BB across 57.2 innings through 11 starts this season.

Moore (back) made his fourth rehab appearance for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, working six innings and giving up three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven.

Moore built up to 91 pitches in his latest rehab outing, which seemingly suggests the Phillies are viewing him as a potential rotation option once he's reinstated from the injured list. Spencer Howard has delivered uneven results since taking over as the Phillies' No. 5 starter in late May, and if he falters in his next opportunity, he could be swapped out of the rotation in favor of Moore.

Gsellman (lat) landed on the injured list as expected Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The move was made retroactive to Sunday, meaning he'll be eligible to return next Wednesday. It's not yet clear if that's at all possible, however, with the Mets yet to specify how serious the strain is or when he's expected to return. Jeff McNeil (hamstring) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Pagan was credited with the hold against Cincinnati on Sunday despite allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over one inning.

Pagan entered in the eighth inning with the Padres protecting a 3-0 lead. He was tagged for a single and a double and walked one batter, leading to two Reds runs. The right-hander made it out of the inning with San Diego's lead down to one, and Mark Melancon closed out the contest in the ninth to secure the victory. Pagan has struggled in June, posting a 6.23 ERA across 8.2 innings. He remains one of the team's top options in high-leverage situations, however.

Cabrera, who fired a perfect sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts in the second game of a doubleheader against Atlanta on Sunday, now has three straight scoreless appearances.

The left-hander had a rare stumble June 11 against the Cubs in which he surrendered a pair of earned runs over one-third of an inning to take his second loss, but he's rounded right back into form. Cabrera has given up just one hit over the three innings covering his last three appearances, posting a 5:0 K:BB along the way.

Uceta pitched 1.2 innings against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three.

Uceta was called up to provide bullpen depth earlier in the day and was given a chance to pitch in the seventh inning during what looked to be an easy Dodgers victory. The right-hander did fine in his initial frame, but he allowed Arizona to get back into the contest with a big eighth inning. Uceta walked two and allowed three singles, departing with the Diamondbacks having put up three runs against him. Victor Gonzalez subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score, and Los Angeles barely held on for a 9-8 win. The poor outing pushed Uceta's season ERA to 6.28, though he has registered a solid 10.0 K/9.
