    • Cut loose by Cubs
      The Cubs released Gomes on Friday.

      Advice: The veteran backstop was designated for assignment Wednesday and was let go by the Cubs just two days later. Gomes struggled to a .154/.179/.242 slash line and 37.5 percent strikeout rate in 96 plate appearances this season prior to being let go by Chicago. Rotowire.com Today, 3:49 pm
       
    • Sitting Tuesday
      Slater isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and an RBI during Monday's game, Slater will get a day to regroup Tuesday while Luis Matos starts in right field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:42 pm
       
    • Getting Tuesday off
      Flores isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Flores will take a seat Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with an RBI and a walk during Monday's victory. David Villar will take over at first base and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:39 pm

    • Set to start Wednesday
      Contreras will start Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The 24-year-old was acquired from the Pirates in made and has worked out of the bullpen for his first nine appearances for the Halos. Contreras has pitched to a 3.29 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 13.2 innings with Anaheim, and manager Ron Washington said the club is hoping the right-hander can cover about four or five innings versus Oakland, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

    • Scratched with calf tightness
      Sanchez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers due to left calf tightness, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: The veteran slugger was penciled in as Milwaukee's designated hitter, but he'll instead hit the bench due to the injury. Sanchez should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus Texas, which is followed by a team day off Thursday. Rhys Hoskins will now serve as the DH on Tuesday while Jake Bauers starts at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:31 pm
       
    • Sent back to minors
      The Giants optioned Burgos to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Burgos' contract was selected from Triple-A on Monday, and he'll now head back to Sacramento after spending just 24 hours in the big leagues. He gave up an earned run on three hits and a walk over one inning in his MLB debut. The 25-year-old southpaw has turned in a 1.64 ERA and 0.82 WHIP through 22 frames in the minors, however, so a return to San Francisco later in the year is definitely possible. Mason Black was recalled in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm
       
    • Returning to Texas for evaluation
      Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Jung (wrist) returned to Texas to be evaluated and "make sure everything's fine," Kennedi Landry of MLB.comreports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old was shut down over the weekend after experiencing residual soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist, and he apparently wasn't able to resume taking live batting practice Monday as hoped. Bochy didn't rule out a return before the end of the currently road trip, which finishes up this weekend in Baltimore, but for now Jung's immediate outlook is up in the air as he gets checked out.

    • Recalled from Sacramento
      The Giants recalled Black from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Black was dispatched to Triple-A in May after allowing 14 earned runs in 14.1 innings through his first four MLB appearances. He has since performed even worse in the minors (11.93 ERA and 2.72 WHIP), but he will be relied upon nonetheless as the Giants attempt to work through a barrage of injuries to their starters. Raymond Burgos was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:24 pm
       
    • Sitting against southpaw
      Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington.

      Advice: Left-hander MacKenzie Gore will start on the mound for the Nationals, so the lefty-hitting Peralta will take a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. His absence will open up a spot for Bryce Johnson to start in right field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:19 pm
