    Rockies' Zach Agnos: Returns to big leagues

    Agnos was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Agnos was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll be eligible to come back to the big leagues after Jordan Beck (hamstring) was placed on 10-day injured list Monday. Agnos owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 4:3 K:BB across 11.2 frames in May (four appearances).

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Receiving evening off

    Mitchell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

    The Brewers will give the left-handed-hitting Mitchell a breather Monday while southpaw Shota Imanaga takes the hill for the Cubs. Jackson Chourio will slide over from his usual spot in left field to replace Mitchell in center.

  • David Hamilton 3B | MIL

    Brewers' David Hamilton: Taking seat against lefty

    Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

    The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in three days while the Brewers face off against another lefty starter (Shota Imanaga). With Hamilton taking a seat, Luis Rengifo and Joey Ortiz will serve a Milwaukee's starters on the left side of the infield.

  • Jordan Lawlar LF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Takes dry swings

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Lawlar has resumed light baseball activities after a CT scan showed his fractured right wrist is healing well, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The activities included taking some dry swings, among other things. Lawlar still has plenty of boxes to check before he's cleared for a rehab assignment, but this was an important step in his rehab process. The 23-year-old is already more than six weeks into an initial 6-to-8 week timetable, and it's unlikely he'll be ready to return within that timeframe.

  • Jordan Beck LF | COL

    Rockies' Jordan Beck: Lands on shelf

    Beck was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    It's not clear as to when Beck picked up the hamstring injury, but he'll be forced to miss at least the next 10 days while on the mend. Braxton Fulford was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Exits early Monday

    Young left Monday's game against the Mets after being hit in the left ribcage by a pitch, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Young will presumably be taken to get X-rays after departing Monday's matchup. Joey Wiemer replaced Young in center field and could see more opportunities going forward if Young is forced to miss additional time.

  • Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Back with big-league club

    Fulford was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Fulford will provide the Rockies with another left-handed bat. He's in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers, batting ninth and slotting in as the club's designated hitter.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Braves' Kyle Farmer: Goes on IL with strained forearm

    Atlanta placed Farmer on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain.

    He'll be eligible to return next week, but Farmer is without a firm timeline to be acitvated from the IL. Farmer has played sparingly for Atlanta this season, picking up four hits in 14 at-bats.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Activated Monday after all

    Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Manager Walt Weiss had indicated earlier Monday that the club could wait until this weekend before reinstating Acuna, but Atlanta opted to activate the outfielder after he completed a full workout without issue Monday. He's not included in the lineup for Monday's series opener in Miami, but Acuna will be available off the bench and should return to the starting nine Tuesday. He's been out since early May with a strained hamstring.

  • Jared Shuster RP | STL

    Cardinals' Jared Shuster: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Cardinals outrighted Shuster to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Shuster has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but he made the choice to stick around in the organization last month and could do so again. The left-hander has made four relief appearances this season for St. Louis, yielding three runs (two earned) with a 2:3 K:BB over 7.2 frames.
