Bernabel (knee/quadriceps) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Bernabel will miss a second straight start after exiting Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs with a bruised left knee and quad. He is considered day-to-day. Orlando Arcia will cover first base and bat ninth for the Rockies in Bernabel's stead.

The Rockies recalled Romo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Romo will hit the big leagues for the first time in 2025 after slashing .264/.329/.409 with seven home runs over 60 games at Albuquerque. He will serve as the Rockies' third catcher during the final month of the season.

The Giants transferred Rodriguez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Rodriguez needs Tommy John surgery and is expected to remain out through the end of the 2026 season. The All-Star reliever was electric out of the San Francisco bullpen this season, posting a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB across 50.2 innings. Rodriguez took over as the Giants' closer following the trade of Camilo Doval to the Yankees in late July, but Ryan Walker looks poised to see most of the save chances for San Francisco in September.

The Rockies recalled Rolison from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Rolison will provide the Rockies with another relief arm in September. The lefty has a 7.41 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB over 37.2 innings with Colorado this season.

The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

McCray appeared in 10 games for San Francisco last month and slashed just .100/.100/.200 with a 0:10 BB:K across 21 plate appearances. He owns a .746 OPS with 15 home runs and 27 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances with Sacramento this season.

The Giants selected Brubaker's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Brubaker inked a minor-league deal with San Francisco last month following his release from the Yankees. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for New York this season, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 16 innings. He'll likely work in relief for the Giants initially, but he could get a look in the rotation at some point in September with injuries having tested the team's starting depth of late.

O'Brien will be shut down from throwing after undergoing an MRI on his sore right shoulder Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals have yet to provide word on the results of the MRI, but a move to the 15-day injured list for O'Brien feels inevitable. O'Brien has been used as a high-leverage reliever for the Cardinals over the last couple months and picked up a pair of saves in August, but now his health status is murky. JoJo Romero is the favorite to close games for the Cardinals in September, with Kyle Leahy also in the mix.

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

Yoho came into the season as one of baseball's top reliever prospects, but his control has deserted him in the majors. He has an 8.22 ERA and 9:5 BB:K in 7.2 innings across three separate stints with the Brewers in 2025. Yoho has been as advertised at Triple-A, however, logging a 1.04 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 55 strikeouts and seven saves in 43.1 innings across 39 appearances. Yoho should work in low-leverage situations as he rejoins Milwaukee, at least initially.

The Brewers activated Ortiz (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday

Ortiz will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Phillies, with his return from the shelf pushing Andruw Monasterio back into a utility infielder role. Though he holds a weak .612 OPS on the season, Ortiz has performed much better since the All-Star break, slashing .294/.330/.394 slash line with one home run and two steals in 32 second-half contests.

Gore (shoulder) intends to pitch again this season, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander landed on the injured list Saturday with what the Nationals described as shoulder inflammation, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. "It's something, the way it felt last start, where we needed to get an MRI," Gore said Saturday. "Nothing crazy showed up with significant injury. I didn't want to go on the IL, but we kind of needed to. I plan on being back as soon as I can, but we just need to clean up a few things in there and should be alright." With Washington having nothing to play for this season however, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Gore was shut down out of caution should he have any sort of hiccup once he begins throwing again. Over 27 starts and 147.1 innings this year, the 26-year-old has a 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 173:55 K:BB.
