  • Brewers select Kevin Herget from Nashville
    Brewers selected the contract of RHP Kevin Herget from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Herget was designated for assignment back in April, so the Brewers had to add him back to the 40-man roster to make this move. They did so with Jakob Junis being transferred to the 60-day injured list and Janson Junk being optioned to Triple-A. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Available in relief
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Brown will be available out of the bullpen for the series against the Padres, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: It's possible Brown will get another start eventually, but for now he will shift to the bullpen upon the return of Justin Steele (hamstring). That means Hayden Wesneski should retain his spot in the Cubs' rotation for the time being. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Cubs optioned Thompson to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Thompson has pitched well overall out of the Cubs' bullpen this season, but he was roughed up in his last two appearances in yielding seven runs (four earned) while recording just three outs. He's being sent out to make room for the return of Justin Steele (hamstring). Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared to begin rehab assignment
    Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hays has been working out with Bowie as he comes back from a left calf strain and is now ready to test things out in game action. With Colton Cowser's production slowing the last couple weeks, Hays could have a chance to regain more reps in left field once he's deemed ready, although they might come just against lefties initially.
