Clevinger (knee) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Clevinger landed on the injured list April 13 due to a right MCL sprain. He's since completed a rehab stint in the Florida Complex League, and it didn't take long to find his way into a game at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he allowed one hit and struck out two across a scoreless frame Sunday against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Rockies are expected to activate Gordon (hip) from the 15-day injured list to start or pitch in bulk relief Tuesday against the Marlins at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Tomoyuki Sugano is nursing a finger injury that will result in him being pushed back in the pitching schedule a few days, so the Rockies will have an extra spot in the rotation this week that will likely fall to Gordon. The right-hander had posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 35.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) with the Rockies before landing on the shelf June 5 due to a right hip impingement. Gordon covered four innings and 38 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, so he could be in line for a light workload if he does in fact start for the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Padres placed Morgan on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left knee inflammation.

The injury may have cropped up following Morgan's most recent relief appearance against the Dodgers on Friday, when he struck out two but allowed one run on two hits. He'll be replaced in the San Diego bullpen by right-hander Bradgley Rodriguez, who was called up from Double-A San Antonio. Morgan owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 22 innings in the majors this season.

The Padres recalled Rodriguez from Double-A San Antonio on Monday.

San Diego initially sent Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 19, a move that was made to build in some rest for the hard-throwing right-hander. Rodriguez eventually moved up to San Antonio, with whom he made his lone appearance Sunday before getting the call back to the big leagues. The 22-year-old has been exceptional during his time with San Diego this season (2.10 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 34.1 innings), but due to the number of quality arms in the bullpen, Rodriguez may have to settle for a middle-relief role.

Winn (elbow) completed a 25-pitch bullpen Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Winn is currently on the 15-day injured list after suffering a right elbow strain earlier in the month. However, he was cleared to resume throwing one week ago, and he's since progressed to mound work. Webeck notes that Winn will remain in Arizona to continue his rehab, and if all goes well, he'll pitch in an Arizona Complex League game at the end of the week.

Peguero (hamstring) threw 30 pitches during a bullpen session Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Peguero landed on the 60-day injured list June 1 due to a left hamstring strain, but it appears his rehab is coming along at a nice pace. He was immediately placed on the 60-day IL after suffering the injury, so he won't be eligible to be reinstated until the end of July. Peguero will presumably be asked to complete at least another bullpen or two before facing live hitters.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Pagan (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and is set to regain his role as the team's closer, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Pagan likely would have been reinserted into the ninth inning even before Tony Santillan (oblique) landed on the shelf last week, but the Santillan injury seemingly cinched things. Out since early May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Pagan logged two scoreless rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. He'll get a day of rest Monday before being activated Tuesday, Francona said in an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Hollowell was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday but is back in the majors after the Cubs placed Ethan Roberts (forearm) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The right-handed Hollowell has appeared in four major-league games this season, allowing three runs on five hits and five walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

The Cubs placed Roberts on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right forearm inflammation.

Roberts has allowed five runs (four earned) over his last three appearances out of the Chicago bullpen. His recent struggles may have been linked to the forearm injury, and by going on the 15-day IL, he'll be shelved until at least after the All-Star break in mid-July. Gavin Hollowell was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to give the Cubs more depth out of the bullpen in Roberts' absence.

The Mets recalled Gerber from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Gerber has fared well in his opportunities in the majors this season, holding the opposition to just one run with a 6:1 K:BB over five innings. He will likely be utilized in a middle-relief role.
