Edwards was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with right shoulder inflammation, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

He felt discomfort after pitching in Tuesday's game and had an MRI, which showed inflammation. Edwards had a 5.56 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 11.1 innings in May. Cory Mazzoni was brought up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Reyes may have left Wednesday's start against the Brewers with an injury, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

There was a noticeable drop in his velocity from inning to inning, but he got back up to 96 mph and threw 95 mph on his final out. It is unclear what the exact nature of the injury is at this point, or if his exit was even injury related. He threw four scoreless frames, giving up three hits and two walks while striking out four. Reyes threw 73 pitches -- 42 for strikes.

Rusin has allowed a run in all but one of his seven appearances since returning from the disabled list.

Entering the month of May, the long reliever possessed a middling 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Those figures have ballooned to 7.29 and 1.57, respectively, following Saturday's debacle against the Reds in which he allowed two runs and failed to record an out. Rusin was quietly one of the Rockies' top relievers last season, producing a 2.65 ERA in 85 frames, but he hasn't been able to recapture that feel at all this year. It's unclear if the intercostal strain that sidelined him in April is still affecting him or not, though it would go a long way in explaining his struggles.

Estevez (elbow) hopes to resume playing catch soon, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The hard-throwing right-hander was placed on the 60-day disabled list in April due to a strained UCL, but it seems like he's recovering nicely from the injury. Estevez was recently in Denver with the team getting evaluated by the Rockies' trainers, and it doesn't seem like any bad news came from the visit. Given that he hasn't resumed playing catch yet, he still seems to be at least a few weeks away from a full return to action.

Iglesias (biceps) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.

Iglesias ended up on the 10-day disabled list with a left (non-throwing) biceps injury May 23, but he'll return to the bullpen after missing the minimum. The 28-year-old right-hander figures to resume his role as the Reds' closer immediately.

MIller (elbow) covered five innings and gave up one run for High-A Visalia in his first rehab start Tuesday. He surrendered four hits and no walks and struck out eight.

After a couple of starts at extended spring training, Miller pitched in a non-controlled setting Tuesday for the first time since April 23, 2017, when he exited a start against the Dodgers with forearm tightness that later required Tommy John surgery. Perhaps most impressive about Miller's first rehab outing was his impeccable control, as he tossed 52 of his 65 pitches for strikes. Miller is slated to make at least one more start in the minors before potentially coming off the 60-day disabled list and rejoining the Arizona rotation in early-to-mid June.

Leone (biceps) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Leone will head to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Alex Reyes, who's making his first start Wednesday following 2017 Tommy John surgery. Leone still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return after it was revealed that he's struggling with nerve damage in his upper arm. The 26-year-old right-hander has accrued a 4.15 ERA with 15 strikeouts and four holds over 13 innings this season.

Mayers was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Mayers will head down to the minors following the reinstatement of Alex Reyes from the 60-day disabled list. In 10 appearances out of the bullpen, the 26-year-old posted a 2.63 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with eight strikeouts across 13.2 innings.

Reyes (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Wednesday.

As expected, Reyes came off the disabled list, and he'll get the nod on the hill for Wednesday's series finale against Milwaukee. He underwent Tommy John surgery in February of 2017 and hasn't pitched in the major leagues since the back end of the 2016 season.

The Dodgers will recall Santana from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Robert Murray of FanRagSports.com reports.

It's likely just a short-term promotion for Santana, who is regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in the organization. With Brock Stewart lasting just four innings in Monday's start and Kenta Maeda exiting in the second inning Tuesday with a hip strain, the Dodgers' bullpen has been quite overworked the past two days, so Santana will offer a much-needed fresh arm in long relief. Unless Maeda's injury sends him to the disabled list and creates an opening in the rotation, it seems likely that Santana will report back to Triple-A by the end of the week. Over his 10 starts in the minors this season -- the first eight of which came at Double-A Tulsa -- Santana has accrued a 2.54 ERA and 65:16 K:BB in 49.2 innings.
