Phillies' Bryson Stott: Taking seat Sunday
Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Stott started the previous six games and went 4-for-18 with two doubles, a homer and two stolen bases during that stretch. Weston Wilson will man the keystone and bat eighth versus New York lefty Carlos Rodon on Sunday.

Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Not in Sunday's lineup
McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Will Klein RP | LAD
Dodgers' Will Klein: Moving down to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
He'll give up his spot in the Los Angeles bullpen to Blake Treinen (forearm). During his four-week stay with the Dodgers, Klein made eight relief appearances and gave up six runs (four earned) on nine hits and eight walks over seven innings.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Joins big-league bullpen
The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Wrobleski looks poised to operate as a more traditional reliever during this stint with the big club. With Shohei Ohtani likely to build up to four innings in his next start Wednesday and Blake Snell on track to return from the 60-day injured list later in the week, the Dodgers won't have an opening in the rotation for Wrobleski, who has logged a 4.50 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 40 innings in the majors this season.

Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Makes return from IL
The Dodgers reinstated Treinen (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Treinen has been cleared to rejoin the Los Angeles bullpen for the first time since mid-April following a prolonged recovery from a right forearm injury. The veteran righty struck out 10 batters while allowing just two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk over seven rehab innings between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Oklahoma City. Treinen could enter the mix for saves after Tanner Scott (elbow) was recently placed on the 15-day IL, but the Dodgers' ninth-inning picture is already crowded even before any trade-deadline acquisitions are added to the roster.

Will Smith C | LAD
Dodgers' Will Smith: Receiving breather Sunday
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Smith went 3-for-8 with a walk and a run while starting the first two games of the series. Dalton Rushing will step in behind the plate and bat eighth versus Boston righty Walker Buehler.

Angel Chivilli RP | NYY
Rockies' Angel Chivilli: Moves up to majors
The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Chivilli will take the spot of Ryan Rolison, who was demoted to Triple-A after giving up two runs (one earned) over 1.2 innings Saturday. Over 25 appearances out of the Colorado bullpen this season, Chivilli has struggled to a 5.91 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB in 35 innings.

Ryan Rolison RP | CHC
Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Demoted after rough appearance
The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
After yielding two runs (one earned) over 1.2 innings in a 33-pitch relief appearance Saturday, Rolison was unlikely to be available for the next day or two. As a result, the Rockies opted to swap him off the 26-man roster in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Angel Chivilli.

Jaden Hill RP | COL
Rockies' Jaden Hill: Summoned from Triple-A
The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Hill will be up with Colorado for the second time this season after he previously made three relief appearances in April. The right-hander has maintained excellent ratios (3.72 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB) in 17.2 innings at Triple-A this season, but he'll likely operate as a low-leverage reliever for the Rockies initially.
