Miller was put on the 10-day disabled list Thursday due to right elbow inflammation.

Miller suffered the injury during Wednesday's start in Colorado, which was just his fourth appearance since returning from Tommy John surgery in late June. He went back to Arizona for further evaluation Thursday and was scheduled to undergo an MRI, though the results have yet to be revealed. Look for a timetable to be cleared up in the coming days, which should shed some light on whether Miller will be able to make his first turn in the rotation following the All-Star break.

Bracho was called up from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

The promotions of Bracho and Matt Koch likely signify that Shelby Miller (elbow) and T.J. McFarland (neck) are headed for the disabled list. Bracho last appeared in a game against the Padres on July 5, and has logged a clean 1.72 ERA and 0.83 WHIP while recording 22 strikeouts over 15.2 innings of relief for Arizona this year.

Koch was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Koch will likely be utilized out of the club's bullpen over the next few days, though he could wind up re-joining Arizona's rotation after the All-Star break should Shelby Miller (elbow) require an extended stay on the disabled list. Across 13 appearances (12 starts) for the Diamondbacks this year, Koch has logged a 4.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with just 38 strikeouts in 71.2 innings.

Miller returned to Arizona and is scheduled for an evaluation Thursday after exiting Wednesday's start against the Rockies with right elbow tightness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Miller was making only his fourth start for the Diamondbacks since returning from Tommy John surgery, so the fact that he experienced a setback with his elbow is fairly concerning. The Diamondbacks should have a better handle on the extent of Miller's injury after sending him for X-rays and/or an MRI. If Miller requires a trip to the disabled list and isn't available to make his first turn through the rotation out of the All-Star break, Clay Buchholz (oblique) would likely be ready to come off the DL and replace the right-hander as Arizona's fifth starter.

Jansen allowed a walk over a scoreless inning en route to his 25th save of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Jansen failed to record a strikeout for the 13th time this season, which highlights his career-worst 9.3 K/9. That mark may be subpar by his elite standards, but most major-league pitchers would be ecstatic to average a strikeout per inning. The rest of Jansen's game has been dominant, as he owns a 2.28 ERA and 25 saves (tied for third in the majors) this season despite a few rough outings in April.

Rodriguez was the winning pitcher of record after throwing three scoreless innings with two walks and three strikeouts in Wednesday's 13-inning victory over the Cubs.

Rodriguez had his scheduled start skipped after Johnny Cueto was pushed back a day in his second appearance since returning from the disabled list. The rookie was still able to help his fantasy owners by picking up his fourth win with a strong outing in long relief. The scheduling conflict allowed the Giants' primary long reliever, Derek Holland, to pick up a start Tuesday, but Rodriguez and his 2.89 ERA will return to the rotation following the All-Star break.

Miller left Wednesday's game against the Rockies with right elbow tightness.

It's quite the worrisome development for a pitcher who only recently returned from Tommy John surgery, as "elbow tightness" is sometimes the original diagnosis which precedes a serious injury. Miller certainly didn't look good on the mound, allowing five runs in just one inning. The severity of the injury should become clear in the next few days.

Shaw (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Shaw will be available out of the bullpen against the Diamondbacks after appearing in a pair of rehab outings with Triple-A Albuquerque in recent days. In a corresponding move, the Rockies optioned Jerry Vasto back to the minors.

Paredes was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Wednesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

Paredes appeared in 15 games for Los Angeles this season, posting a 5.87 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 7.2 innings of relief. He was cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Zac Rosscup, who was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Wednesday. Paredes will be subject to waivers, and will likely remain with Triple-A Oklahoma City if unclaimed by another organization.

Iglesias worked around a hit with two strikeouts in a scoreless inning of work for his 19th save of the season Tuesday against the Indians.

Iglesias allowed the leadoff man to reach in this one, but he mowed down the next three batters he faced to close out a three-run victory. He threw 12 of 13 pitches for strikes in this dominant outing and has responded with three straight saves after blowing an opportunity last week. Iglesias now holds a 2.41 ERA and 1.05 WHIP for the season.
