Bowman (finger) allowed an earned run on three hits over two innings in Triple-A Memphis' loss to Reno on Monday. He struck out three.

Bowman's one slip-up was the solo home run he allowed to Socrates Brito, but he was mostly effective otherwise for a third straight rehab appearance. Since the blister issues that landed Bowman on the disabled list never resurfaced during his stint with the Redbirds, the right-handed reliever is on track for activation by the end of the week according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Helsley is on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Memphis with "shoulder fatigue" according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has gone 5-3 with a 4.12 ERA over 12 minor-league starts, including a 2-1 tally with the Redbirds. Mozeliak stated that the organization isn't overly concerned, but that they are being careful with their highly regarded prospect. "For us, its really taking a timeout. His volume was up. For us, it's more being conservative and trying to be smart," Mozeliak said.

Barraclough recorded one strikeout in a clean inning of work to earn his third save of the season Monday against the Giants.

Barraclough was dominant in this one, throwing nine of 11 pitches for strikes as he retired the side in order. This clean outing continued a stretch of dominance that's seen the right-hander rattle off 13 straight scoreless outings to lower his ERA to 1.27, to go along with a 0.85 WHIP. Barraclough won't see too many save opportunities, but he's more than capable of helping enough in ratios to justify ownership and then some.

Ferguson is scheduled to take the mound Tuesday against the Rangers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Ferguson will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his second major-league start of the year. He lasted just 1.2 innings, allowing four runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three in his lone big-league outing against the Pirates on June 6.

Edwards (shoulder) will play catch Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

The inflammation in Edwards' shoulder has apparently subsided, clearing the way for him to pick up a throwing program. The 26-year-old remains without a timetable for his return, but one should emerge as he ramps up his throwing.

Bass had his contract purchased from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Bass will join the big club for the first time all season after compiling an impressive 2.28 ERA across 23.2 innings with Triple-A Iowa. He'll offer a fresh arm out of the bullpen after two of the team's relievers (Luke Farrell and Cory Mazzoni) tossed more than an inning of relief in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. Mazzoni was sent to the minors in a corresponding roster move.

Poncedeleon had his contract purchased from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Poncedeleon will join the big club for the first time in his career after compiling an impressive 2.41 ERA and 71:35 K:BB across 59.2 innings with Triple-A Memphis this season. The 26-year-old will offer a fresh arm out of the bullpen after Sunday's starter, Carlos Martinez, lasted just 3.2 innings. Luke Voit was sent to the minors in a corresponding roster move.

Callahan will undergo shoulder surgery, Betsy Helfand of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Callahan, who has been on the minor-league disabled list since April 22 with a shoulder injury, will miss the remainder of the season after going under the knife. Prior to suffering the injury, the 23-year-old compiled a 9.72 ERA and 9:4 K:BB across 8.1 innings of relief.

The Rockies recalled Howard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Howard made his MLB debut out of the bullpen Sunday in the Rockies' 8-3 loss to the Diamondbacks, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning. The 25-year-old was deployed exclusively as a starter during his time at Albuquerque this season, so he should give the Rockies some extra length out of the bullpen. It's likely that most of his usage will come in lower-leverage scenarios.

Miller (elbow) is expected to make at least two more rehab outings in the minors before being activated from the 60-day disabled list, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.

Miller was expected to build up to around 90 pitches in his third rehab start Sunday at Double-A Jackson, but he only made it 65 while being clobbered for eight runs on nine hits and two walks over three innings. The right-hander didn't report any setbacks with his surgically repaired elbow coming out of the poor start, but he'll require a couple more turns in the minors to build up to a starter's workload. Miller doesn't look on track to return from the DL until late June and may not be guaranteed a spot in the Arizona rotation if all of Zack Godley, Matt Koch and Clay Buchholz are pitching well.
