Bracho was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

With Shelby Miller being placed on the disabled list Monday, the Diamondbacks promoted Bracho to provide an additional arm in their bullpen. The 24-year-old made two appearances with the big-league club, in which he surrendered three runs over 1.1 innings pitched. Bracho will return to Reno where he'll continue to be utilized as organizational pitching depth. Zack Godley will be recalled from Reno in a corresponding move in advance of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Padres.

Ortiz exited Tuesday's game with Double-A Biloxi after 5.1 innings with an undisclosed injury.

The Brewers will be holding their breath as they await details regarding Ortiz's early departure. The 21-year-old, who is one of the top prospects within the Brewers' talented farm system, is coming off of a 2016 campaign in which he posted a 1.93 ERA (4.35 FIP) over 23.1 innings with Double-A Biloxi. An update on his condition should become available in the near future.

Gsellman will be available out of the bullpen during this week's series against the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Tuesday's postponement will cost Gsellman a start, as manager Terry Collins has opted to keep Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey on schedule for Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. It's a tough break, but those who started Gsellman in weekly formats should still get one start out of him this week, Sunday against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Hernandez was optioned to Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

As expected, the 25-year-old's stint with the Reds was a brief one, as he made just one appearance before being optioned back to Pensacola. Hernandez struck out five and didn't allow a hit through 2.2 innings in his lone outing, and could see another call-up in 2017 if he continues to display impressive stuff. Barrett Astin was recalled to offer another bullpen arm in a corresponding move.

Peters broke his left thumb on a comebacker in a start for Double-A Jacksonville on April 17 and he could miss several months, Baseball America's Matt Eddy reports.

He landed on the 7-day DL, and figures to be out until at least June or July. Peters is one of the Marlins' better pitching prospects, but that's not saying much. He had a 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB in 12 innings in the Southern League before the injury.

Torres pitched a scoreless seventh inning and picked up the win in Monday's victory over the Reds.

Torres has been hit-or-miss out of the bullpen early this season, but he threw the ball well Monday and came away with his first notch in the win column this season. Torres is working in middle relief for the Brewers, and as things stand, is no better than fourth in line for saves in Milwaukee.

Adleman will make his next start Friday against the Cardinals.

Heading into the week, Adleman was lined up to start Wednesday against the Brewers, but with the Reds announcing Monday that Rookie Davis (forearm) would return from the disabled list to start that game, Adleman will be pushed back two days while Cody Reed is bumped from the rotation. Adleman acquitted himself well in his first start in place of Brandon Finnegan (shoulder) on April 21 against the Cubs, taking a no-decision while giving up two runs over six innings and striking out seven.

Melancon pitched a scoreless ninth inning with one hit allowed and a strikeout to record his fourth save of the season during Monday's win over the Dodgers.

Since a poor outing on Opening Day (four hits and two runs allowed), Melancon has now strung together five scoreless innings over five appearances with six strikeouts and four saves. After the bullpen struggles the Giants endured in 2016, Melancon's job is probably one of the more secure among his ninth-inning peers, and San Francisco forked over big money for his services for a reason. With a 1.96 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over the past four seasons, he's also proven to be one of the more reliable fantasy closers.

Rodney pitched a perfect ninth inning while striking out a batter to earn his sixth save in as many tries in Monday's 7-6 win over San Diego.

It hasn't been all roses for Rodney; he has a 6.48 ERA and has given up six earned runs in 8.1 innings pitched. The good news, though, is that he's yet to blow a save. The five walks he's allowed show that he often pitches with runners on base and is prone to blowup outings, though. The 40-year-old has a perfect slate for saves now, but it's unlikely to last.

Treinen allowed three runs on six hits in one-third of an inning in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Rockies.

Treinen, who entered the year as Washington's closer, now sits with an abysmal 9.82 ERA. With struggles continuing, it's clear that he won't have a chance to regain the ninth-inning role anytime soon. Shawn Kelley and Koda Glover will tag team the ninth for now, but Washington could also look outside the organization for help late in games. Treinen's fantasy value has hit rock bottom.
