  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Splitting time with Carson Kelly

    Amaya is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Carson Kelly will draw the start behind the plate Monday, but he and Amaya appear to have settled into a pattern of alternating turns at catcher. Amaya had started in five of the previous 10 games, going 5-for-17 with a double, three RBI and two runs.

  • Nick Frasso RP | COL

    Rockies' Nick Frasso: Promoted to Colorado

    Colorado recalled Frasso from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

    Frasso will make his first big-league stint with the Rockies after being traded from the Dodgers on July 20. With Antonio Senzatela and Victor Vodnik both being dealt elsewhere during Monday's trade deadline, the Rockies, in need of another bullpen arm, promoted Frasso. During his time with both Triple-A Oklahoma and Albuquerque this season, the 27-year-old recorded a 4.15 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB in 30.1 innings.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Resting up against lefty

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

    The Dodgers will hand the left-handed-hitting Muncy a night off while southpaw Matthew Boyd toes the rubber for the Cubs. Enrique Hernandez will fill in for Muncy at third base and will bat eighth.

  • Elias Diaz C | TEX

    Rangers' Elias Diaz: Idle Monday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Diaz will get a breather after he started behind the plate in the final two games of the Rangers' weekend series in Houston. Austin Wynn will handle catching duties Monday.

  • Tristan Beck RP | SF

    Giants' Tristan Beck: Back in majors

    Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Beck has been back and forth between the big-league and Triple-A bullpen all season. He should work in low-leverage spots after the Giants dealt away four big-league pitchers prior to Monday's trade deadline.

  • Ian Happ LF | CHC

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Riding pine Monday

    Happ is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Cubs will give Happ a breather after he went 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in the final two games of the weekend series with the Yankees. After being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Kevin Alcantara will enter the starting nine in left field in place of Happ on Monday.

  • Giants' Drew Cavanaugh: Ceding start to Susac

    Cavanaugh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Cavanaugh will take a seat while Daniel Susac receives a turn behind the plate in the series opener. Since the All-Star break, Cavanaugh has started in seven of the Giants' 17 contests and has slashed .250/.400/.250 with two runs and two RBI.

  • Giants' Reiver Sanmartin: Back in majors

    Sanmartin was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Sanmartin was in the midst of a 12.1-inning scoreless stretch at Triple-A, logging a 0.97 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB in seven appearances since July 8. He will occupy a spot in the big-league bullpen following multiple departures at the trade deadline.

  • Giants' Carson Seymour: Joining big-league bullpen

    Seymour was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Seymour has experience working as a starter, but lately he has been working out of the Triple-A bullpen, logging a 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 16 innings over eight appearances. He could eventually work in high-leverage situations after Erik Miller and Caleb Kilian were dealt at the deadline.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Receiving rare night off

    Eldridge is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Right-hander Cal Quantrill is on the bump for the Rangers, but the left-handed-hitting Eldridge will get a breather nonetheless. Nate Furman will pick up a start at designated hitter in place of Eldridge, who slashed .220/.315/.385 with five home runs, one stolen base, 10 RBI and 14 runs while he was a part of the lineup for each of the Giants' last 29 games.
