The Dodgers recalled Loutos from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Loutos allowed two runs over one inning in his lone appearance for the Dodgers last month. He will operate in low-leverage situations.

The Dodgers optioned Davis to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Davis tossed two scoreless innings in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in Ryan Loutos.

Smith it not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

It's a routine day off after Smith caught each of the previous four contests for the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing is at catcher and batting eighth in Monday's series opener.

Betts (toe) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Mets.

Betts will miss out on a fourth straight start after he sustained a fractured left big toe. Per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Betts ran the bases and went through fielding drills pregame Monday and hopes to return to action Tuesday. He will be available to pinch hit if needed in the series opener, per DodgerInsider.com.

Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Vientos might be slipping into a short-side platoon, as this is the second straight game and the fourth time over the last seven contests against a righty that he's been absent from the lineup. Jared Young is at designated hitter and Brett Baty is at third base for the Mets in Monday's series opener.

Berget has been added to the Padres' taxi squad and is expected to start Tuesday in San Francisco, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

With the continued absences of Michael King (shoulder) and Yu Darvish (elbow), Berget could earn additional starts after Tuesday's outing. The rookie right-hander has tossed four scoreless innings for the Padres this season, but this will be his first major-league start.

The Mets optioned Devenski to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

He'll give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to Paul Blackburn (knee), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's contest versus the Dodgers. Devenski has made two appearances for the Mets this season, yielding two runs over three innings.

The Mets activated Blackburn (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Blackburn is set to start Monday's game against the Dodgers in what will be his season debut for the Mets after he recovered from right knee inflammation. The veteran right-hander will be part of a six-man rotation for at least this week.

Dollander (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Tuesday in Miami, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Dollander went on the IL less than two weeks ago with right forearm tightness but has been cleared to return after getting through a live batting practice session last week with no issues. He will be skipping a rehab assignment, so Dollander might not be ready for a full workload versus the Marlins.

Monasterio will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Monasterio made three starts in the Brewers' ensuing six games following his promotion from Triple-A Nashville on May 9, but playing time has been scarce ever since for the 28-year-old. He'll crack the lineup for the first time since May 26, stepping in at the hot corner for a resting Caleb Durbin.
