Roupp spent just one day in the majors and gave up three runs over 2 2/3 innings in relief against the Dodgers. There hasn’t been any word on who is taking his roster spot. Perhaps the Giants will call up Mason Black for a few days until Kyle Harrison rejoins the rotation.

The 29-year-old Robert will be making his major league debut after posting a 2.35 ERA and a 40/7 K/BB ratio in 30 2/3 innings out of the bullpen for Round Rock. He’ll work in middle relief.

Anderson returns to the minors after throwing 31 pitches in two scoreless innings Sunday. It’s his fourth time being optioned to the minors since the season started.

Kelly was the prospect the Rangers got from the Brewers for Matt Bush two years ago, and he was added to the 40-man after last season. He was a terrific minor league reliever last year, posting a 2.04 ERA and a 79/23 K/BB in 57 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A, but he had a 9.35 ERA and a 24/22 K/BB in 17 1/3 innings this season.

No trade, though that’s almost surely coming sometime this month. Corey Julks replaced Pham tonight.

Kevin Pillar is playing left field tonight against the Rangers.

Hug watch? Pham was supposed to lead off tonight, but Corey Julks has replaced him with no immediate reason given.

He’ll make his major league debut tonight against the Braves. Diaz, 23, had a 4.03 ERA and a 105/38 K/BB ratio in 76 innings in between Double- and Triple-A. Control issues could make it difficult for him to last as a starting pitcher, but he has a strong arm and two legitimate breaking balls. If he doesn’t make it as a starter, he’ll probably be very good in relief.

Jacques gave up two runs in 1 1/3 innings in his lone appearance for the Diamondbacks.

Correa is starting at shortstop and batting second tonight against the White Sox.

Rendon returns from a 2 1/2-month absence without a rehab assignment because it’s the Angels and no one really cares. He’ll alternate between third base and DH for now. He might offer some value in deeper mixed leagues while healthy.
