Wilson (3-2) took the loss Monday against Philadelphia, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one in 5.2 innings of work out of the bullpen.

Jared Koenig opened the game for Milwaukee, pitching one scoreless inning before giving way to Wilson in the second. Wilson surrendered a solo home run to David Dahl in the fourth inning, marking the fifth consecutive game in which the right-hander has allowed a home run. The 26-year-old has been consistent in minimizing the damage, however, allowing three earned runs or fewer in all of those starts. Wilson has worked behind Jared Koenig in two of his last three appearances, and it remains to be seen if he will start his next time out, tentatively scheduled for this weekend in Detroit.

Koenig is expected to serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Koenig experienced success while opening a game for the third time this season in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. He needed just five pitches to retire the side in the bottom of the first inning before he turned the game over to bulk reliever Bryse Wilson. The Brewers will likely call on Koenig again Tuesday with the hope that he can get through the top three batters in Philadelphia's lineup before he hands the ball to bulk reliever Colin Rea.

Arraez (shoulder) might be available to pinch hit Monday against the Angels, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Arraez departed Sunday's game against the Royals after a slide into second base, and his name wasn't listed in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup. "Luis came in today, feels better," said manager Mike Shildt. "We don't feel like it's anything structural, which is another thing that's encouraging. It's just a matter of he's sore. Got some stiffness, some soreness." The Padres appear to be exercising caution with Arraez and could use him in a pinch-hit scenario Monday evening if the situation arises.

The Pirates activated Delay (knee) from the 60-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Delay has completed his rehab assignment and will remain at Triple-A Indianapolis now that he's returned to full strength. He's appeared in one game this year for the Pirates, collecting one RBI and one walk in five plate appearances.

The Pirates transferred Gonzales (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Gonzales hasn't been cleared to resume throwing since landing on the IL on April 14 with a left forearm strain, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return date. Instead, the transaction clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher Jason Delay (knee), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL and then optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Carroll is starting in center field and batting eighth Monday night against the Giants, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Carroll's struggles at the dish have continued, as he's slashing .205/.289/.333 over his last 10 contests. Skipper Torey Lovullo noted that he'll likely bump Carroll down in the order against lefties moving forward, per Weiner. This change clears the way for Gabriel Moreno to move into the No. 2 spot in the order Monday evening.

Thomas (hamstring) is continuing a running progression and could advance to running bases later in the week, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Thomas has not yet been cleared to see live at-bats on a rehab assignment, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Once he gets the green light to run the bases, a minor-league rehab stint shouldn't be far behind.

Perdomo (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Perdomo was cleared for at-bats in the Arizona Complex League over the weekend, and the club has since determined that he's ready to face stronger competition. He'll likely play at least a few games at Triple-A before being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Gallen (hamstring) will begin a throwing progression Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Gallen appears to have his sights set on returning from the injured list when first eligible after being diagnosed with a right hamstring strain Friday. This will be a strong first step toward meeting that goal, and he should be cleared to resume mound work quickly considering he last threw off a mound Thursday.

Kelly (shoulder) will begin his throwing program Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

This is the next expected step for Kelly as he makes his way back from a right shoulder strain. His recovery has been moving along smoothly to this point, but the right-hander could take some time to gain clearance for mound work.
