Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Murphy started the first two games of the series at Coors Field and will sit for Sunday's matinee. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch rookie righty Spencer Schwellenbach.

Zastryzny (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, striking out a batter while allowing two walks and one hit over a scoreless inning in his first appearance.

Zastryzny may require another appearance or two in the minors before the Brewers bring him back from the 15-day injured list. Before being deactivated July 26 due to left elbow tendinitis, Zastryzny made nine appearances for the Brewers and posted a 1.17 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB across 7.2 innings.

Megill (back) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Monday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Megill will head out on a rehab assignment if all goes well during Monday's throwing session. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list July 29 due to a lower-back strain and likely won't need more than one or two tune-up outings in the minors before rejoining the Milwaukee bullpen. Megill leads the Brewers with 20 saves on the season, but he'll likely have to settle for setup work moving forward after closer Devin Williams returned July 28 from a season-long stay on the IL.

The Brewers transferred Paredes (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for southpaw DL Hall (knee), who was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Reds. Paredes was initially placed on the IL on July 3 due to right forearm tendinitis and won't be eligible to rejoin the Milwaukee bullpen until early September.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Kelenic went 3-for-8 with a double and two runs in the first two games of the series but will sit for Sunday's finale. Adam Duvall will start in left field while Eli White starts in center.

The Diamondbacks optioned McGough to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The right-hander was called up by Arizona on Friday and will return to Reno after he delivered two scoreless frames during Saturday's contest. McGough has a 6.83 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB across 29 major-league innings this year.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Kelly (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The 35-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since mid-April due to a teres major strain of his right shoulder, but he's ready to rejoin Arizona's rotation after one rehab start. Kelly threw 62 pitches over four innings for High-A Hillsboro in that outing, so he'll likely face some workload limitations in his first couple starts back in the majors. He posted a 2.19 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over 24.2 innings prior to going down with the injury.

Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

After starting each of Milwaukee's last six games, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will head to the bench as Cincinnati sends southpaw Nick Lodolo to the mound. Blake Perkins will take Mitchell's spot in the outfield and will bat sixth.

Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The lefty-hitting Turang will retreat to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Nick Lodolo takes the hill for Cincinnati. Jackson Chourio will assume leadoff duties Sunday, while Andruw Monasterio takes Turang's usual spot in the field at second base.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

With southpaw Nick Lodolo on the bump for Cincinnati, the lefty-hitting Bauers will stick on the bench for the second day in a row. Bauers' absence will free up a spot in the lineup for Gary Sanchez, who will serve as the Brewers' catcher while William Contreras gets a day off behind the plate and draws a start at designated hitter.
