Adames went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.

Adames hit a single in the fifth inning before coming around to score and added another single in the eighth. The shortstop was one of two Giants players to record two hits, marking his third multi-hit performance in his last 10 outings. During that stretch, Adames is slashing .316/.409/.632 with nine runs scored, six RBI, three homers and three doubles across 44 plate appearances.

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.

The Brewers optioned Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Myers was with the big club for a couple weeks as a bullpen piece, tossing three scoreless innings across two appearances. The right-hander will presumably rejoin the rotation at Nashville, where he's posted a 2.93 ERA and 54:16 K:BB over 58.1 frames covering 11 starts.

Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Reynolds continues to have an inconsistent season, though he did perform well across the Pirates' nine-game homestand that ended Sunday. In total, he went 11-for-37 with five doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored. Reynolds still has just a .665 OPS across 100 games for the campaign, the lowest mark of his career except 2020.

Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Gonzales led off the eighth inning with a single before coming around to score, also snapping a three-game hitless streak. He has struggled out of the All-Star break and more broadly in July, going only 13-for-70 with one home run, four RBI and seven runs scored across 19 games.

Fedde will start Tuesday against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium in his Atlanta debut.

Fedde was acquired from the Cardinals via trade Sunday to help supplement a rotation that's been decimated by injuries. The right-hander had been designated for assignment by St. Louis after he was torched for 26 earned runs with an 8:11 K:BB over his last 17.2 innings.

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.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes delivered a two-RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Pirates a 6-0 lead. He had a mediocre nine-game homestand, going 8-for-33 with two doubles, five RBI and four runs scored. Despite the decent stretch, Hayes is still hitting just .208 across 20 games in July.

Reds manager Terry Francona said July 10 that Callihan (forearm) recently had surgery on his left wrist and isn't expected to return from the 60-day injured list this season, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Callihan had been on the shelf since May 6 after suffering two broken bones in his left forearm a day earlier, when he crashed into an outfield wall while pursing a flyball. He underwent surgery shortly after that incident, but he had been cleared to resume light baseball activities about a month later. Unfortunately for Callihan, his wrist had been bothering him during his ramp-up process, and after consulting with a doctor in New York, he elected to have another follow-up surgery. Callihan should be back to full health for spring training and will look to compete for a utility role with the Reds in camp.

Pham went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Pham briefly looked to be losing his role in the outfield to Jack Suwinski, but Sunday marked his fifth straight start. He has at least one knock in each of those contests and has a seven-game hitting streak in total. In that span, Pham has gone 10-for-25 with three doubles, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored.
