    Rockies optioned RHP TJ Shook to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Shook returns to the minors after allowing six runs over 5 2/3 innings across four appearances for Colorado this season. He’ll continue to be an up-and-down middle relief option in the second half.

    Shook gets another shot in the big leagues after making four underwhelming relief appearances for the Rockies earlier this season. The 28-year-old righty has recorded 11 saves along with an encouraging 3.02 ERA across 47 2/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this year. He figures to operate in middle relief out of Colorado’s bullpen.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #52
    He’ll take the place of left-hander Sean Sullivan, who was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday. Shook, 28, holds a 4.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 3/0 K/BB ratio across 3 2/3 innings in three appearances out of the Rockies’ bullpen this season. He’ll function in a middle relief role.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #52
    The 28-year-old hurler made three appearances during his brief stay with the Rockies, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 3/0 K/BB ratio while serving up a pair of homers in 3 2/3 innings of work. He was unlikely to be available on Sunday after throwing 33 pitches over 1 2/3 innings on Saturday though, so the Rockies decided to swap him out for a fresh arm. He should get another chance with the big league club before the summer is through.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #52
    Shook receives his first opportunity in the majors after posting seven saves along with a strong 2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 29/8 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this season. He’ll operate in a low-leverage role for the Rockies initially but could wind up pitching in more critical spots later this summer.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher
    After designating Jay for assignment earlier in the week, the Mets were happy to get anything that they could for him and wound up picking up a 26-year-old right-hander from the Brewers. Shook has spent the entire season at Double-A Biloxi where he has posted a 4.90 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 77/25 K/BB ratio over 64 1/3 innings in 17 appearances (11 starts). He’ll add organizational pitching depth for the Mets.

    Yankees placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 14, with a left elbow bone bruise.

    Not great. It’s unclear how much time Fried is going to miss, but it’s a massive concern for the Yankees, and fantasy managers, with less than six weeks left in the season. He was scheduled to start against the Orioles on Wednesday. The 32-year-old southpaw limited the Mariners to one run over five innings last Thursday in his fifth start back from the injured list after missing time for the same issue earlier this season. It’ll be Carlos Rodón (elbow) taking his spot in New York’s rotation, which means that neither Will Warren or Ryan Weathers are heading to the bullpen now.

    Nolan Arenado (abdomen) is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.

    Ketel Marte’s failure to show up to Fenway Park led to Arizona not putting out a lineup until roughly 10 minutes before first pitch. Arenado takes a seat with Jose Fernandez getting an opportunity at the hot corner. There’s a chance he’ll require a trip to the injured list, depending on the results of an MRI on his injured abdomen. There should be a clearer idea of his status at some point soon.

    Diamondbacks recalled INF Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Reno.

    Fernandez receives the call to rejoin Arizona’s infield mix with franchise cornerstone Ketel Marte landing on the restricted list. The 22-year-old rookie hit .255 with three homers and seven steals across 177 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks before being shipped back to the minors in early June.

    Diamondbacks placed 2B Ketel Marte on the restricted list.

    Marte failed to show up at Fenway Park for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox, according to MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert. It’s unclear whether how many additional games he’ll miss or whether there will be any further discipline from the club. The 32-year-old second baseman missed a game over the weekend with left knee soreness, but returned to Arizona’s lineup for Sunday’s series finale against Atlanta. Jose Fernandez was brought up from Triple-A Reno to fill his roster spot. There should be some much-needed clarity on his status following Monday’s game.

    The Astros are promoting pitching prospect Ethan Pecko to start against the Angels on Wednesday, reports The Athletic’s Chandler Rome.

    It’s hard to imagine a better matchup out of the gate than this, but Pecko represents a risky streaming option for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old fast-rising pitching prospect has posted a respectable 4.57 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 86/28 K/BB ratio across 82 2/3 innings in the minors this season. He’s managed to hold his own in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League at the Triple-A level. There’s enough strikeout upside that he’s worth monitoring in deeper mixed leagues.

    Jacob Wilson was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s contest against the Royals with left shoulder soreness.

    Alika Williams takes over at shortstop. It’s somewhat encouraging that Wilson’s absence isn’t related to a finger issue that cost him time over the weekend. It’s also not his throwing shoulder. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point later this week. The Athletics have been ravaged by injuries to key contributors and they’ll likely proceed with an abundance of caution here.

    Red Sox placed LHP Eduardo Rivera on the restricted list.

    No word on the reason for the move, but Rivera is currently on the injured list at Triple-A Worcester. The 23-year-old lefty has allowed seven runs over 10 innings in the big leagues this season.

    Curelo will remain with the Rangers as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 25-year-old was designated for assignment last Friday. He’s allowed 12 runs over 10 1/3 innings of work in the majors this season.

    Kyle Teel (ankle) progressed to taking batting practice on Monday.

    Teel was cleared to start a hitting progression last week and will continue to ramp up baseball activities with the hope of making it back to Chicago by early-to-mid September. He hit the injured list with a high ankle sprain back in late July.

    Matt Shaw (hand) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday.

    Shaw figures to be in the mix for starts between second and third base, along with rookie Pedro Ramírez, while shortstop Dansby Swanson is on the injured list with an oblique strain for the next month. The 24-year-old former top prospect has been on the injured list with a hand strain since late June. He should make it back to Chicago at some point before the end of August.
