The Brewers recalled Koenig from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Koenig is back with the Brewers after being optioned by the team April 17. He hasn't given up a run in each of his last three appearances with Nashville, striking out six batters while walking two over 3.2 innings in that span. The move corresponds with Milwaukee placing DL Hall (knee) on the 15-day injured list.

The Brewers placed Hall on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left knee sprain.

Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that Hall sustained the injury on a bunt play in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Cardinals. Hall has failed to last four innings in each of his last two appearances, and he has a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB over 16.1 innings this season. With Hall on the IL, the Brewers recalled southpaw Jared Koenig from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Bryse Wilson, who threw 3.2 innings as the Brewers' opening pitcher against the Padres on April 17, is a candidate to replace Hall in the starting rotation, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.

The Rockies added Davis to the active roster to be the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Davis was called up for Saturday's game, though he did not make an appearance and was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque after the contest. He'll stick around with the Rockies for Sunday's doubleheader and be available should the team need an additional arm. In four starts with Triple-A Albuquerque this season, Davis has an 0-2 record with a 7.13 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 17.2 innings.

Happ (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Happ was removed from Friday's game against Miami due to left hamstring tightness, and he didn't play in either of the doubleheader games Saturday. In Happ's absence, Alexander Canario will start again in left field and bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera. Happ did note before Sunday's game that he is available off the bench and believes he'll be ready for Tuesday's series opener against the Astros, per Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network.

The Rockies transferred Bard (elbow) to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The move comes with Bard undergoing right flexor tendon surgery on his right elbow. With Bard set to miss the rest of the season, the Rockies selected the contract of southpaw Ty Blach from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Fraley is not in the Reds' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to an illness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Fraley won't start for a second consecutive game, though he did pinch hit for Jonathan India (illness) in Saturday's contest. Fraley would normally get the start against a right-hander, but he appears to have picked up the bug that India has. Fraley is 1-for-10 over his last four appearances, which has slowed down his otherwise hot start to the season. He's slashing .362/.423/.511 with four doubles, one home run and four RBI over 52 plate appearances while stealing five bases.

The Cardinals recalled Pages from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Pages was called up by St. Louis earlier in the season to provide depth at catcher with Willson Contreras battling a hand injury. Katie Woo of The Athletic notes that recalling Pages will allow the Cardinals to play both Contreras and Ivan Herrera at catcher and DH regularly. To make room for Pages, the Cardinals optioned outfielder Victor Scott to Triple-A Memphis.

India (illness) is not starting in Sunday's game against the Angels.

India played through an illness in Saturday's game, but he was eventually removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. Santiago Espinal will start at second base, while Tyler Stephenson will serve as the DH for Sunday's game against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. India will have a chance to suit up for Monday's series opener against the Phillies.

The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Scott had a tough first month in the majors, as he attempted to make the jump from Double-A Springfield to the Cardinals. He slashed .085/.138/.136 with six runs, two RBI and two steals while striking out 15 times and walking twice over 65 plate appearances to start the season. A move back to the minors will hopefully be what Scott needs to find his swing again. In a corresponding move, St. Louis recalled catcher Pedro Pages from Triple-A Memphis.

The Cardinals recalled Robertson from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Robertson hasn't given up a run or a hit over his last three appearances, and he has a 2.84 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 6.1 innings with Memphis this season. Robertson will serve in the Cardinals' bullpen, with St. Louis optioning right-hander Andre Pallante to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.
