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.

Miller will visit specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache for a second opinion on his tight right forearm, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Miller described the forearm tightness he's going through as something he has never experienced before. The Diamondbacks have expressed optimism that there isn't the kind of physical damage that would force a significant DL trip, but a trip to Dr. ElAttrache is rarely a precursor to good news.

Suter was officially optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday.

A brutal start to the season (four earned runs with a 5:4 K:BB over five appearances) made Suter the obvious man out with Matt Garza returning from the disabled list. Expect Suter to be up and down all year, as the Brewers have little left-handed relief depth in their organization.

Bracho was recalled by the Diamondbacks from Triple-A Reno on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Bracho's promotion allows Arizona fill the roster spot left open by Shelby MIller's trip to the disabled list. The 24-year-old right-hander has gotten off to a nice start with Triple-A Reno in 2017, as he has yet to allow an earned run in 6.2 innings of work.

Miller (forearm) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Jack Magruder of FanRag Sports reports.

After leaving Sunday's game with right forearm tightness, Miller will now be forced to miss one start at the very least. The next step will be determining just how severe his injury is, which could be the difference between missing weeks as opposed to months. After a disappointing first season with the Diamondbacks, Miller had experienced a slightly improved start to 2017, posting a 4.09 ERA and 3.31 FIP in 22 innings.

Pivetta is expected to be called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

The Phillies aren't expected to announce the roster move until Wednesday, but it appears Pivetta will enter the rotation in place of Aaron Nola (back), who hit the disabled list Monday and will miss at least one turn in the rotation. While the 24-year-old isn't a major prospect, he fared well during his five-start sample at Triple-A to close out 2016 and has been even more dominant to open 2017. In his three starts with Lehigh Valley, Pivetta has given up three runs (two earned) over 19 innings while striking out 24 batters. Assuming Nola's injury proves to be a short-term concern, Pivetta may not stick with the Phillies for long, but he could be worth a flyer in NL-only leagues.

Erceg went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a game with High-A Carolina on Sunday.

Erceg is getting his first taste of High-A action this season, and he's faring well early on, hitting .302/.327/.434 through 13 games. As the Brewers' top third-base prospect, he'll see regular playing time all season.
