    • Works in relief Monday
      Hernandez gave up two earned runs on two hits over an inning of relief in Monday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City last Wednesday, Hernandez ended up starting in the Dodgers' series finale in San Francisco, covering six innings while giving up three earned runs in a losing effort. With an off day coming up Thursday, the Dodgers weren't in need of an additional starter this week, so Hernandez shifted to the bullpen. He'll likely work mostly in lower-leverage spots while he remains up with the Dodgers. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
       
    • Not starting Tuesday
      Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Velazquez will sit for a second straight game, leaving DH duties to Adam Frazier on Tuesday. Since May 10, Velazquez is 8-for-28 (.286) with a three-run home run. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
       
    • Brewers recall Tobias Myers on Tuesday
      Brewers recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Myers provides Milwaukee’s overworked bullpen with some emergency length and could wind up replacing Joe Ross (back) in the starting rotation after he landed on the injured list. The 25-year-old righty holds a lackluster 5.29 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 17/9 K/BB ratio across 17 innings (four starts) this season in his big-league debut. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
       
    • Joe Ross hits 15-day IL with lower back strain
      Brewers placed RHP Joe Ross on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain.

      Advice: Ross departed Monday’s start against the Marlins with a lower back strain and winds up requiring a trip to the injured list. The hope is that he’ll only wind up missing a couple weeks. It’s Tobias Myers who has been brought up from Triple-A Nashville to take his spot on Milwaukee’s roster. The 31-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 35/16 K/BB ratio across 42 innings (nine starts) this season in his Brewers debut. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

    • Padres option Randy Vásquez to Triple-A
      Padres optioned RHP Randy Vásquez to Triple-A El Paso.

      Advice: Vásquez heads back to the minor to make room for Joe Musgrove to return from the injured list on Tuesday against the Reds. The 25-year-old righty allowed three runs over six innings on Monday in a loss to the Braves. He’s posted a lackluster 5.82 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings (five starts) this season in his San Diego debut. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
       
    • Getting another start
      Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Manning will start Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

      Advice: Manning was expected to be replaced by Kenta Maeda (illness) in the Tigers' rotation after Maeda threw three innings in a rehab start Sunday. However, Detroit will give Manning another turn in the rotation despite having allowed three or more runs in each of his last four starts. As Petzold notes, Hinch doesn't plan on using a six-man rotation, so it's unlikely that Manning will stick around on a long-term basis. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
       
    • Taking seat Tuesday
      Haniger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: The 33-year-old won't start for the second time in the last four games, leaving Dominic Canzone in right field Tuesday. Haniger has generated a hit in each of his last five starts. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
       
    • Clayton Beeter out with shoulder discomfort
      Yankees RHP prospect Clayton Beeter is dealing with shoulder discomfort.

      Advice: Beeter landed on the minor-league injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre earlier this week and has been shut down from throwing temporarily. It’s a pretty significant hit to New York’s starting pitching depth as he figured to be an option at some point later this summer if injuries were to strike. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

      Advice: Vasquez will head back to the minors after making three straight starts with the Padres. His big-league spot will go to Joe Musgrove (elbow), who's being activated from the 15-day injured list. In those three starts, Vasquez went 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA in 14.0 innings.
