The Brewers returned Zastryzny from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Monday after he suffered a setback in his recovery from a rib injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Zastryzny made two rehab appearances with Nashville, yielding a total of four runs on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. The lefty has been out since late June with a rib stress reaction, and his return from the 15-day injured list doesn't appear to be imminent after he was unable to complete the rehab assignment. He's scheduled to undergo further imaging on his rib before the Brewers determine his next steps.

The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Yoho has permitted seven runs with a 5:7 K:BB over seven innings so far at the big-league level this season. However, the 25-year-old has given up only three earned runs all season at Nashville and remains one of the team's more promising young relief prospects. Yoho will be used in low-leverage situations for now.

The Rockies optioned Anderson to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Anderson will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Victor Vodnik (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After getting called up from Triple-A on Friday, Anderson made his Rockies debut in Saturday's 18-0 loss to Baltimore, serving up five earned runs on six hits over one inning of relief.

The Rockies activated Vodnik (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Vodnik missed the weekend series in Baltimore while welcoming a new addition to the family, but he's back in the Colorado bullpen for the start of a series in Cleveland. The righty has six holds and two saves this season and will continue to work in a high-leverage role for the Rockies.

Gage started Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets, tossing a perfect inning while striking out one.

Gage made his first major-league start in Sunday's bullpen game, throwing seven of his 10 pitches for strikes. The left-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on July 18 and has now appeared in four games with San Francisco, surrendering a hit and a walk while striking out five across five innings. The 32-year-old has yet to give up a run through 10 outings between the Tigers and Giants this season, allowing eight hits with an 8:3 K:BB across 10.2 innings.

The Giants optioned Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Hjelle made two relief appearances during his most recent stint with the big club, getting charged with three runs over two frames. His removal from the 26-man active roster clears a spot for lefty Carson Whisenhunt, who will be called up from Sacramento to make his major-league debut Monday against the Pirates.

Atlanta optioned Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Erick Fedde, who has officially reported to the team after being acquired via trade with the Cardinals on Sunday. Stratton made one appearance during his brief time with Atlanta, tossing two-thirds of a scoreless inning despite yielding one hit, one walk and one hit batsman.

Henriquez blew the save Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.

Henriquez took the mound for the eighth inning and yielded ground-rule doubles to Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn, the second of which plated the game-tying run. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been the primary members of Miami's closing committee of late, and it doesn't appear that either has pulled ahead. Henriquez has allowed a run in three of his last four appearances, and his ERA stands at 3.06 after 50 innings this season.

Megill (3-2) allowed one hit and no walks with one strikeout during a scoreless ninth inning Sunday to earn the win against Miami.

Megill wound up with the win Sunday after Blake Perkins delivered a walk-off single in the bottom half of the ninth frame. The closer has 23 saves on the season, and he's a few days from finishing a near-perfect month. In seven appearances during July, Megill has allowed just two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. On the year, Megill has a 2.21 ERA across 36.2 innings.

Bivens allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Mets on Sunday.

This was a bullpen game for the Giants, though Bivens had the heaviest workload. He threw 41 of 58 pitches for strikes in a decent performance to help give the Giants' ailing rotation a day off. Bivens has a 4.58 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB through 53 innings over 35 relief appearances this season. He has minimal past experience as a starter, so expect the 31-year-old right-hander to continue to serve as a multi-inning reliever.
