    • Chris Sale’s start pushed back to Tuesday
      The Braves announced that they’re pushing Chris Sale’s start from Monday to Tuesday.

      Advice: Bryce Elder was called up to fill in tonight. The decision means Sale is now scheduled to make his final start before the break on Sunday. Assuming that happens, he won’t be allowed to pitch in the All-Star Game, which is probably why the Braves made this call in the first place. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Recalled, will start Monday
      Atlanta recalled Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett, and he'll start Monday's game against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

      Advice: Chris Sale had been listed as Atlanta's scheduled starter for Monday, but the big club will build in some extra rest for the All-Star lefty and have him take the hill Tuesday. In his last start in the majors June 26 against the Cardinals, Elder took the loss while allowing two runs on four hits and striking out four over six innings. The 24-year-old right-hander is 1-3 across six major-league starts this season with a 5.76 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 29.2 innings. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Braves recall Bryce Elder to start Monday
      Braves recalled RHP Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: The Braves have made the late call to push back Chris Sale’s start until Tuesday and go with Elder tonight. It’ll be Elder’s seventh major league start this year. He’s gone 1-3 with a 5.76 ERA through the first six. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
       
    • Start pushed to Tuesday
      Sale is no longer scheduled to start Monday's series opener in Arizona and will instead take the hill Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: The southpaw appeared poised for a two-start week to close out Atlanta's first-half schedule, but that's suddenly in jeopardy after the club chose to call up Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Monday. While he could still be available to start Atlanta's final game before the break Sunday in San Diego on four days' rest, since Sale has already been named to the National League All-Star team, the coaching staff might prefer not to use him that day in advance of the Midsummer Classic. Even if Sale ends up getting just one start this week, fantasy managers will likely still want to keep him active, given that he's gone 3-2 with a 1.97 ERA and 0.84 WHIP since serving up a season-high eight earned runs June 1 versus Oakland.

    • Mariners return Emerson Hancock to Triple-A
      Mariners optioned RHP Emerson Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma.

      Advice: Hancock took a loss in his spot start Saturday, giving up two runs in four innings against the Mariners. He still likely remains next in line for any openings in Seattle’s rotation. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
       
    • Summoned to big leagues
      The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

      Advice: Zulueta permitted one run with four strikeouts over a three-inning relief appearance in his major-league debut with the Reds last month before he was sent back to Louisville. The 26-year-old will fill a middle-relief role during his upcoming stint in the big leagues. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
       
    • Reds recall Yosver Zulueta from Triple-A
      Reds recalled RHP Yosver Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Zulueta was up briefly last month and allowed one run over three innings in his lone appearance. He’ll be available as a middle reliever for now, but he might head back to the minors on Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 1:31 pm
       
    • Reds option Graham Ashcraft back to Triple-A
      Reds optioned RHP Graham Ashcraft to Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Ashcraft returns to Triple-A despite allowing one run over 4 2/3 innings in his start Sunday. The Reds are getting Nick Lodolo back Thursday to fill the open rotation spot. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm
       
    • Heads back to minors
      The Reds optioned Ashcraft to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

      Advice: Ashcraft's latest stint in the Reds rotation lasted three turns, and he allowed 10 runs with an 8:6 K:BB over 15 innings. Nick Lodolo (finger) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list later this week, and the Reds have elected to keep Carson Spiers as their No. 5 starter over Ashcraft.
