  • Julio Urias SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Julio Urias: Another rehab outing Wednesday

    Urias (shoulder) will pitch about two innings for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The Dodgers previously indicated Urias would move to Double-A Tulsa for his next rehab appearance, but instead will keep him at Rancho Cucamonga for at least one more outing. The 22-year-old last pitched Friday, reaching as high as 95 mph during his 1.2 innings for the Quakes.

  • Dodgers' Ross Stripling: Battling sore back

    Stripling may not be available to pitch against the Giants on Tuesday as he's dealing with back soreness, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

    The issue doesn't appear overly serious at this point, as the team has yet to fully rule him out for Tuesday's game. Stripling was moved to the bullpen over the weekend.

  • Alex Wood RP | ATH

    Dodgers' Alex Wood: Activated ahead of start

    Wood (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and confirmed as the starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    As expected, Wood has been cleared to rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation after spending the minimum 10 days on the disabled list with left adductor tendinitis. Prior to landing on the shelf, the 27-year-old southpaw compiled a 2.48 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his previous nine starts. He'll look to pick up where he left off in Tuesday's NL West showdown.

  • Alec Asher SP | MIL

    Brewers' Alec Asher: Designated for assignment

    Asher was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Asher was cast off the team's 40-man roster in order to clear room for Jake Thompson, who was acquired from the Phillies on Tuesday. The 26-year-old tossed three scoreless innings for the Brewers, but he struggled to a 5.51 ERA across 85 innings with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He'll report back to the Sky Sox if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Jake Thompson SP | PHI

    Brewers' Jake Thompson: Traded to Brewers

    Thompson was traded from the Phillies to the Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

    Thompson was shipped to the Brewers after being designated for assignment last week. The 24-year-old compiled a 4.96 ERA across 16.1 innings of relief with the Phillies this season while posting a 4.60 ERA across 47 innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He'll report to Triple-A Colorado Springs for now.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Fires live batting practice

    Senzatela (shoulder) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.

    Senzatela faced Ryan McMahon, Pat Valaika and Garrett Hampson and said he felt great afterwards. He's eligible to return from the 10-day DL on Wednesday, so assuming he checks out OK in the coming days, the young righty could reclaim a spot in the starting rotation sometime later in the week.

  • Sammy Solis SP | SD

    Nationals' Sammy Solis: Sent down

    Solis is not listed on the lineup card for Tuesday's game and has presumably been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

    Solis gave up a go-ahead, three-run homer to Matt Carpenter on Monday, and afterward manager Dave Martinez made no attempt to hide his displeasure. "I don't know what else to do," Martinez said. "He's got to get lefties out." Matt Grace and Trevor Gott will be the left-handed options in the Nats' bullpen for the time being.

  • Jerad Eickhoff SP | PIT

    Phillies' Jerad Eickhoff: Slated for third rehab start

    Eickhoff (lat) will make another rehab start for High-A Clearwater on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

    This will be Eickhoff's third start for the Threshers, and he figures to keep ramping things up after throwing three innings his last time out (and two innings during his first rehab outing). The 28-year-old has been sidelined all season with a lat strain and a pair of setbacks, so he'll likely need multiple additional rehab appearances before being cleared to return.

  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Brewers' Zach Davies: Rehab start set for Thursday

    Davies (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Davies has been on the shelf since the start of June. He owns a 6.14 ERA across 14.2 innings in his previous four minor-league rehab starts. Manager Craig Counsell said "we'll have to make a decision" after Davies' upcoming start, suggesting the right-hander could rejoin the Brewers' rotation if all goes well Thursday.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Cubs' Yu Darvish: Gets through three sim innings

    Darvish (shoulder) threw three innings in a simulated game Tuesday, Matt Martell of MLB.com reports.

    Darvish struggled a bit with his command, but the session was overall a positive one, as it was the longest he's thrown so far. Assuming he feels good Wednesday, his next step will likely be a rehab assignment, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. Given the length of his absence, which began back in late May, Darvish will likely require several rehab appearances, putting his return date sometime in late August or early September.
