The Athletics optioned Tur to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Tur will give up his spot on the active roster to lefty Drew Rom, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. After allowing three earned runs over two innings and tossing 33 pitches in Tuesday's 12-4 loss to the Rays, Yur was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least the next day or two had he stuck around with the Athletics.

The Athletics recalled Juenger from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Juenger was optioned to Las Vegas just four days ago, but he'll rejoin the big club after the Athletics placed lefty Jose Suarez (hip) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old righty has made eight relief appearances for the Athletics this season, striking out five batters over 9.1 innings while giving up six earned runs on 15 hits and three walks.

Perdomo (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

Perdomo was lifted from Monday's game and sat out Tuesday because of left knee discomfort, but he feels well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. He's sporting a .934 OPS across the past two weeks for the Diamondbacks.

Simpson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The fleet-footed Simpson will get a rare day off after he had started in each of the previous 11 tilts. Jonny DeLuca will grab a start in left field while Simpson gets a breather.

Halvorsen (1-1) earned the win over Kansas City on Tuesday, issuing one walk over one scoreless and hitless inning.

Halvorsen was traded to the Dodgers on July 20, and he spent his first few weeks in the organization with Triple-A Oklahoma City as he continued to work his way back from a shoulder injury. The righty reliever was called up Monday and didn't exactly get a soft landing spot for his first appearance with the Dodgers, as he entered in the top of the 10th inning Tuesday with the task of preventing the Royals' automatic runner at second base from scoring. Halvorsen was up to the challenge, keeping the score tied while maneuvering around a two-out intentional walk. It remains to be seen how much high-leverage work the 26-year-old will get with his new team, but he's certainly in a better position to succeed now that he's away from Coors Field, and he's an intriguing addition to Los Angeles' bullpen given his ability to hit triple digits with his fastball.

The Athletics placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hip strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

With Suarez hitting the shelf and right-hander Yunior Tur getting optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas, the Athletics will call up right-hander Hayden Juenger and left-hander Drew Rom to fill the open spots in the bullpen. Suarez has been working in a long-relief role for the Athletics since being acquired from the Mariners in May and owns a 4.69 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 40.1 innings over 33 appearances.

Tatis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Padres manager Craig Stammen will give Tatis a break while San Diego wraps up its three-game set with Milwaukee with a day game after a night game. Austin Hays will get the nod in right field in place of Tatis, who had started each of the last nine contests while going 9-for-36 (.250 average) with four home runs, three doubles, three walks, 10 runs and six RBI.

Heim is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rays.

Heim started at catcher in each of the Athletics' last three games, so he will get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Brian Serven will be behind the dish.

Wilson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

Wilson appears to be getting a routine day off after producing a weak .545 OPS so far through eight games in August. With Wilson sitting, Donovan Walton will cover shortstop, and Zack Gelof will handle second base as the Athletics look to avoid the series sweep.

Tatis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in an 11-2 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Tatis' loudest contribution was a solo blast to right field in the fourth inning. It was his fourth homer over his past seven contests, and the veteran slugger appears to finally be getting his power stroke going. Tatis didn't homer at all until his 56th contest of the campaign and had gone 12 straight games without a long ball prior to the aforementioned current seven-game power surge. His muscle has helped San Diego bolt into playoff position -- the Padres have won 14 of their past 18 contests and are now tied for the final wild-card spot in the National League.
