Humberto Mejía - Gets starting nod in series openerDiamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Mejia would be called up from Triple-A Reno to start Monday's game against Atlanta at Chase Field, the Associated Press reports.

ImpactMejia will join Arizona's six-man rotation as a replacement for rookie Tyler Gilbert (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. The 24-year-old right-hander previously made a pair of starts for Arizona in late August, covering 11 innings between the outings and allowing six runs on 14 hits and three walks. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second turn coming Sunday at home versus the Dodgers.

Kyle Tucker - Exits with shoulder issueTucker was removed from Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks with right shoulder discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

ImpactTucker went 1-for-2 with an RBI double before being lifted during the sixth inning due to the injury. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, and the 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Pedro Báez - Completes mound sessionBaez (shoulder) tossed a bullpen session Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactBaez continues to advance through a throwing program as he works through a setback with the right shoulder injury that has kept him on the shelf for most of the season. Assuming he continues to progress over the next week, Baez should have an outside shot to make it back for the final week of the regular season. If he does in fact get activated from the 10-day injured list before the regular season concludes, Baez's initial appearances could amount to a de facto audition for the Astros' postseason roster.
