Rockies' Evan Justice: Healthy again at Triple-A
Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Justice (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Friday.
Justice made his first appearance for Albuquerque since April 13 on Saturday, giving up one earned run on three walks while retiring one batter in Albuquerque's 7-4 win over Sacramento. The reliever was cleared to rejoin Albuquerque after making three rehab appearances, two in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and one with Single-A Fresno.

Phillies' Trea Turner: Closing in on return
Turner (hamstring) said Sunday he's "getting close" to returning from the 10-day injured list, and it's possible he's activated within the next week, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Manager Rob Thomson indicated the shortstop is running at about 75-to-80 percent of full speed, which makes a return this week seem less likely. Turner isn't expected to embark on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, however, which shortens his potential return timeline. The 30-year-old will attempt to get back to running full speed this week in Boston, which could be one of the final hurdles before he's cleared for game action.

Roddery Munoz RP | HOU
Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Making another start
Munoz is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the weekend and started in Saturday's loss to the Guardians. He gave up four runs over four innings during that outing and has a 5.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB over 19.2 frames in his four starts for the Marlins on the season, but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while Miami waits for the likes of Edward Cabrera (shoulder), Ryan Weathers (finger) and Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Start being skipped
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Sunday that Corbin's next turn through the rotation will be skipped, which lines up the left-hander to next take the mound Saturday against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The 34-year-old's regular turn through the rotation lines up for Tuesday in Detroit, but Washington will instead take advantage of Monday's team off day to move him to the back of the rotation. Corbin now lines up to make his next start on nine days rest, which comes on the heels of a four-start stretch in which he has a 7.22 ERA and 15:9 K:BB over 23.2 innings.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Start pushed to Friday
Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that Greene's next start will be pushed to Friday against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The right-hander was previously expected to start Tuesday versus Cleveland, but he'll get a bit of extra rest this week after throwing 111 pitches in each of his past two starts. Greene gave up nine earned runs in those outings but has a 3.61 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 84:32 K:BB over 77.1 innings this season.

Logan Allen RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Logan Allen: DFA'd by Arizona
Allen was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The 27-year-old surrendered six runs in one inning during Saturday's game against the Padres, and he's now been removed from the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Allen had a 3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 27 innings this season prior to Saturday's implosion, so he could generate some interest on the waiver wire.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Absence continuing Sunday
Machado (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Machado continues to nurse a strained right hip flexor and will sit Sunday for the fourth straight game. The 31-year-old appeared as a pinch hitter in the first of those absences Thursday but otherwise hasn't seen game action since he suffered the injury Wednesday. Donovan Solano is receiving another start at the hot corner in the series finale against Arizona.

Robbie Ray SP | SD
Giants' Robbie Ray: Tracking toward mid-July return
Ray (elbow) is on track to return around the All-Star break, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ray made his second rehab appearance with the Giants' rookie-level team Saturday, striking out five without allowing a baserunner over two innings. The southpaw began his rehab assignment June 4, and he could have it extended beyond the customary 30 days since he is returning from Tommy John surgery. Ray will likely make some of his rehab appearances in the higher levels of the minors later in the assignment.

Tommy Henry SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Recalled, could pitch Sunday
Henry was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA in six starts for Arizona this season but has been at Triple-A Reno since late April. Henry is a likely bet to see some innings behind opener Scott McGough in San Diego on Sunday.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Rejoining lineup Sunday
Moreno (illness) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Sunday at San Diego.
The 24-year-old catcher was a late scratch Saturday due to an illness but is back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Moreno struggled to a .220/.292/.288 slash line during May but has rebounded early in June with a .761 OPS through seven contests.
