Estevez, who was optioned Saturday, will remain with the club as the 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

Estevez hasn't pitched in four days, so it seems almost certain that he'll get a shot at some point Sunday against the Nationals. That said, look for Estevez to wind up back in Triple-A by Monday.

Jansen struck out one and walked one in a scoreless inning against the Giants on Saturday to earn his 27th save of the season.

Jansen was protecting a one-run lead and although he allowed three baserunners, a double play and a strikeout helped him exit the contest unscathed. Despite his struggles in this game, he'll continue to be an elite closer option, based upon his 1.36 ERA and 0.69 WHIP.

Blach (6-7) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings to take the loss Saturday against the Dodgers.

Blach allowed single runs in the first and third innings, but the offense only provided one run of support, leading to his seventh loss of the season. He's fired quality starts in four of his last five outings, but his 4.38 ERA and 1.33 WHIP make him a low-end fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Athletics.

Bracho was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

While the 25-year-old continues to miss bats at a prolific clip, he's been undone by walks and home runs at the upper levels. Until he makes some notable progress in those areas, Bracho will remain far from high-leverage work.

The Diamondbacks signed Coleman to a minor-league contract in June.

The right-hander was released by the Reds earlier in the month after posting a 2.21 ERA and 44:16 K:BB over 36.2 innings at Triple-A Louisville. He could work his way into the bullpen mix at the big-league level in relatively short order.

Estevez was sent down by the Rockies on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Estevez, who didn't see any action during his brief four-day stay with the club, will head back down to Triple-A Albuquerque in favor of Raimel Tapia on Saturday. The 24-year-old continues to provide organizational depth for the bullpen, but he's unlikely to see any high-leverage work with the big-league team this year.

Melancon (elbow) will head out for a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

Melancon graduates from bullpen sessions and is set to face live hitting for the first time since landing on the DL in late June. It appears as though the right-hander could return by next weekend if all goes well in Sacramento, but the Giants will likely reevaluate their closer after a couple rehab outings. Melancon has a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 20.2 innings this season.

Beato was called up by the Phillies on Saturday.

Beato returns to the majors for the first time since 2014 after spending the past three seasons at Triple-A. He's enjoyed a good deal of success with Lehigh Valley this season, but the lack of swing and miss in his game (7.0 K/9 this year, career 5.7 K/9 in majors) will likely prevent him from ever advancing out of the middle innings.

Montero allowed five runs on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday. He struck out five.

Montero was rolling through four innings, but everything unraveled in the fifth, as he gave up two hits, issued three walks and uncorked a wild pitch in the frame before being pulled. He had turned in back-to-back quality starts coming into this outing and had just five walks in his past four appearances combined, but Friday was a reminder that Montero still has a tendency to get wild from time to time. The right-hander lines up for a tough road start in Colorado next week.

Suter (2-1) scattered four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in Friday's 2-1 win over the Cubs. He struck out five.

The lefty outdueled fellow southpaw Jose Quintana, firing 54 of 82 pitches for strikes before handing things over to the bullpen. Suter has been a revelation in July, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB in 30 innings over five starts, and while Matt Garza (leg) and Chase Anderson (oblique) are both set to rejoin the rotation over the next couple of weeks, it's hard to imagine Suter losing his spot given his current form. He'll next take the mound Wednesday at home against the Cardinals.
