Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Candelario will sit after going 0-for-3 on Saturday to end a seven-game hit streak. Jonathan India will serve as the designated hitter while Santiago Espinal starts at second base.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The lefty-hitting Fraley will bow out of the starting nine while the Brewers bring a southpaw (DL Hall) to the hill for the series finale. Stuart Fairchild will check in for Fraley in right field.

The Rockies selected Rogers' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Rockies in mid-July but will return to the big-league roster for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. Rogers has a 6.75 ERA over 9.1 frames in the majors this season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

The Rockies placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

Hudson was called up for his 18th start of the season Saturday versus Atlanta and surrendered five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a no-decision. The 29-year-old may not reclaim a spot in the Colorado rotation once healthy, given his 6.17 ERA and 49:50 K:BB over 89 innings this season.

The Brewers placed Milner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left shoulder impingement.

It's unclear when the injured surfaced for Milner, but manager Pat Murphy noted that the southpaw was experiencing a loss of range of motion and strength, according to Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin. The injury likely contributed to Milner's recent struggles, as he had surrendered five runs over two frames in his last two outings. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated in late August, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

The Padres optioned Brito to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Two days after being called up from El Paso, Brito will return to the minors. Since Brito was needed to cover 2.1 innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's 9-8 win and was unlikely to be available for the next couple of games, the Padres will swap him out of the bullpen for a fresh arm in right-hander Sean Reynolds, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Hill will bat eighth as Miami's designated hitter Sunday against the Padres.

Hill will pick up his sixth straight start after going 5-for-19 with a double, a home run, two steals and nine RBI since being claimed off waivers by the Marlins last week. The 28-year-old will likely need to continue producing in order to retain the lineup spot, but for now, he's settled into a regular role.

The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Right-hander Jhony Brito was optioned to El Paso to clear room in the bullpen for Reynolds, who previously spent two weeks with the Padres back in July. During his prior stint in the big leagues, Reynolds made two appearances, striking out three over 1.2 scoreless innings.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Rivera's absence is his fourth in Miami's past six games, with both of his starts during that stretch coming against left-handed pitchers. Jake Burger is receiving more run at third base and Jesus Sanchez at designated hitter, which has opened up right field for Derek Hill, though the latter two have swapped those positions Sunday.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's contest but will take a seat for the series finale in Miami. Luis Campusano is starting behind the plate and batting ninth Sunday.
