Gomez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right elbow impingement.

It's unclear when this ailment cropped up, although it does offer some explanation as to why Gomez hasn't been used for five straight days. The move is retroactive to May 6, although it's unclear whether the injury is minor enough to allow him to return after the minimum 10 day stay. More details on this front should come forth as his return date nears.

Tommy Milone, rather than Montero, is in line to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Montero was initially listed as the Mets' probable starter for Wednesday, but the team elected to alter their rotation after picking up Milone on a waiver claim over the weekend. Milone was scheduled to throw a bullpen session in front of the Mets' brass Monday, and assuming everything went smoothly, he'll step in as the Mets' fifth starter for the time being while Noah Syndergaard (back) remains on the 60-day disabled list. Montero didn't make a favorable impression while starting in place of Syndergaard on May 5 against the Marlins, surrendering five runs on seven hits and four walks in 3.2 innings.

Hoffman will serve as the Rockies' 26th man for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, MLB Network Radio reports.

He will be up in case the Rockies need a long reliever in the night game, which Kyle Freeland will start, but should be sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque after the doubleheader. Manager Bud Black said the Rockies are happy with the rotation as is, so Hoffman should remain at Triple-A for the foreseeable future. He has a 3.71 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB in 34 innings in the Pacific Coast League, and will likely get a chance later this season whenever a spot in the rotation opens up.

Clarke, 23, owns a 2.25 ERA and 28:8 K:BB over 28 innings with Double-A Jackson this season.

Clarke, who is in his third season as a professional after being selected out of the College of Charleston in 2015, has shown some noticeable growth in a repeat campaign in the Southern League. In addition to making more bats miss, Clarke is limiting the damage from opposing hitters, who are batting just .198 against him. If the 6-foot-4 right-hander is able to maintain his success through midseason, he'd earn strong consideration for a promotion to Triple-A Reno before 2017 draws to a close.

Moore allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters during Monday's loss to the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Moore has been a mess on the road this season with a 10.50 ERA and 2.17 WHIP compared to his 3.05 and 1.02 marks at AT&T Park. The lefty has never fully lived up to the hype that accompanied him moving through the minors, and he's now allowed the most earned runs in the National League. A home start against the Reds is up next for Moore.

Floro was called up to Chicago on Monday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago reports.

Floro owns just a 5.06 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 16 innings for Triple-A Iowa, but he was impressive enough in spring training to catch the front office's eye and earn this call-up. He debuted in the majors last season, posting a 4.20 ERA while allowing 23 hits over 15 innings with the Rays. Floro has been throwing multiple innings in his stints with Iowa and could be used in a mop-up or long-relief role while he sticks around with the Cubs.

The Mets are no longer listing Montero as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

Montero stepped into the rotation Friday against the Marlins when the Mets needed a fifth starter to replace Noah Syndergaard (lat), who is expected to remain out through the All-Star break. Manager Terry Collins hasn't removed Montero from the rotation, but with the Mets off the schedule Thursday, the team could get by with four starters this week and move the right-hander to the bullpen on a temporary basis. Montero tossed 3.2 innings Friday, surrendering five runs on seven hits and three walks.

Bowman was credited with his eighth hold in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Braves, giving up an unearned run on one hit over an inning.

After opening the season with 11 straight scoreless efforts, Bowman has mostly had a rough go of it over his subsequent five appearances. He's yielded seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings, although he's still managed to log a victory and two holds over that span. Despite the bumpy stretch, the 25-year-old right-hander remains one of manager Mike Matheny's most trusted options out of the bullpen.

Hoover surrendered two runs on two hits and a walk over 1.1 innings in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies. He recorded two of his four outs via strikeout.

Hoover maintains a 3.00 ERA on the season thanks in large part to his career-high 13.5 K/9 and ability to avoid the long ball. The latter skill escaped him Sunday, as both of the two runs Hoover gave up came on solo homers, with Chris Valaika and Charlie Blackmon both taking him deep. Despite his poor outing, Hoover remains a key part of the Diamondbacks' late-inning mix and could warrant some consideration for closing duties if veteran Fernando Rodney is removed from the role at some point.

Treinen allowed the game-winning run on two hits and a walk to record his first loss of the season during Sunday's extra-innings loss to Philadelphia.

After opening the campaign as the Washington closer, Treinen is pitching his way off the 25-man roster by allowing a run in seven of his past eight appearances for an 11.88 ERA and 3.12 WHIP over 8.1 innings. A premium waiver add when he had that closing role, he's now pitched himself off the fantasy radar.
