The Reds placed Montas (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Monday.

Montas' move to the IL isn't an overly surprising one, as the right-hander had already conceded that he would need to miss at least his next turn through the rotation after exiting in the first inning of his start Sunday against the Angels when he was struck in his pitching arm by a liner. Fortunately for Montas, he was able to avoid any fractured bones, but he's dealing with a painful bruise that will keep him on the shelf for at least the next two weeks. If Montas is able to resume throwing in the coming days, he should have a good chance at returning from the 15-day IL around the time he's first eligible for activation May 7. The Reds are likely to turn to Nick Martinez to fill Montas' spot in the rotation.

Marsh will start in left field and bat cleanup Monday in Cincinnati.

With Bryce Harper (personal) landing on the paternity list Monday, Marsh will climb up in the batting order. J.T. Realmuto is sliding up one spot to Harper's usual place in the three hole, while Marsh will move into Realmuto's typical cleanup spot.

Clemens will start at first base and bat eighth in Monday's game in Cincinnati.

After being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier in the day, Clemens will get the first chance to fill in for everyday first baseman Bryce Harper, who was placed on the paternity list. The 27-year-old Clemens received 148 plate appearances with the Phillies last season, producing a .644 OPS with four home runs. Clemens will likely be sent back down to Triple-A once Harper is ready to return later this week.

Triolo isn't included in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Triolo's streak of seven consecutive starts will come to an end Monday with Alika Williams getting the nod at the keystone. The time off could prove beneficial for Triolo, who has gone 2-for-19 at the dish over his last six games.

The Brewers reinstated Bauers (personal) from the bereavement list Monday.

Bauers was away from the Brewers for this past weekend's series in St. Louis but is back on the active roster for the series opener in Pittsburgh. He'll continue to see regular action at first base or as a designated hitter against right-handed pitching.

The Brewers optioned Monasterio to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Monasterio was up with the big club over the weekend while Jake Bauers (personal) was on the bereavement list, but Monasterio will now return to Nashville with Bauers back in tow for Monday's game versus the Pirates. The infielder didn't appear in a game during his latest stint in the majors.

The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Myers received a call-up to the majors last week and didn't make an appearance before being optioned to Nashville. This time around, Myers could fill the rotation spot vacated by Wade Miley (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list but had been in line to start Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Myers holds a 1.62 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 16.2 innings this season at Nashville. He would be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

The Brewers placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Monday with left elbow inflammation.

Miley got a late start to this season because of a shoulder problem, and he missed time last season with elbow and lat issues. The veteran left-hander has often shown an ability to bounce back quickly from arm-related injuries, but he indicated Monday that this is a different feeling than he's had in the past, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Miley will undergo imaging Tuesday, at which point more should be known regarding how much time he might miss. Tobias Myers was called up from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move and seems likely to start in Miley's place Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Guillorme and fellow lefty-hitting regular Jarred Kelenic will head to the bench for the series opener while Miami brings southpaw Ryan Weathers to the hill. David Fletcher will spell Guillorme at the keystone.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

As has typically been the case this season, the lefty-hitting Kelenic finds himself on the bench to begin Monday's series opener while the Marlins bring a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) to the hill. Platoon mate Adam Duvall will replace Kelenic in left field and will bat seventh.
