The Rockies activated Senzatela (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.

Senzatela has completed the long road back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last July. The veteran right-hander maxed out at four innings and 68 pitches over his five rehab starts prior to being activated, and the Rockies are likely to keep a close eye on his workload in the final two weeks of the season.

Mitchell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

With southpaw Ranger Suarez toeing the rubber for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will get a maintenance day. The Brewers will turn to Gary Sanchez to fill Mitchell's spot in the lineup, with Sanchez serving as Milwaukee's designated hitter and batting fifth.

Saggese is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Saggese had started each of the first six games for the Cardinals upon his promotion, but he'll grab a seat Monday as the Pirates send Paul Skenes to the mound. Masyn Winn and Brendan Donovan will form the St. Louis middle infield in the series opener.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Rojas has now been excluded from the lineup in two consecutive matchups with right-handed pitchers and may be at risk of falling into the short side of a platoon in center field. After going 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Mets, the lefty-hitting Cal Stevenson will get another start in center Monday against Brewers righty Aaron Civale.

The Pirates optioned Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

He'll move off the 28-man active roster as the Pirates clear a spot for infielder Nick Yorke, whose contract was selected from Triple-A. Williams is a career .202/.257/.271 hitter over parts of two seasons at the major-league level and hadn't seen any game action for the Pirates in a week.

Holmes will start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta will bring Holmes back from the bullpen to fill the rotation spot vacated by Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday. Holmes has previously made four starts for Atlanta, but he's worked exclusively in relief for the past month and hasn't covered more than two innings or 33 pitches in any of his last eight appearances. With that in mind, Holmes will likely be on a restricted pitch count Tuesday and could struggle to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker confirmed Monday that Albies (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The plan is for Albies to play for Gwinnett on Tuesday and Wednesday before rejoining Atlanta's active roster Friday in Miami, assuming all goes well. Albies has been sidelined since late July with a fractured left wrist.

Abrams (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

He'll miss out on a fourth consecutive start while he continues to contend with a sore left shoulder. Nasim Nunez will once again fill in at shortstop in place of Abrams, who is considered day-to-day and may be available off the bench Monday.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

After starting in each of the Nationals' previous four games, the lefty-hitting Gallo will head to the bench while Washington takes on southpaw Sean Manaea in the series opener at Citi Field. Juan Yepez will enter the lineup in Gallo's stead, occupying first base while batting third.

Nunez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

He'll pick up a fourth consecutive start in place of CJ Abrams, who remains day-to-day with a sore shoulder. Nunez has gone 0-for-8 with a walk and a stolen base over his prior three starts and will likely head back to a reserve role once Abrams is cleared to rejoin the lineup.
