Last call

• All seven home clubs active on Monday's Major League schedule held a moment of silence to honor the memory of 19 elite firefighters who died in Arizona on Sunday battling a horrific blaze. All but one were members of the Prescott (Ariz.) Granite Mountain Hotshots, a unit trained to fight the most severe wildfires. The Brewers and Nationals lined up in front of their respective dugouts before the national anthem and bowed their heads in silence.

• Manager Ron Roenicke said that shortstop Jean Segura, who has started all but three of the team's games this season, would get a break on Tuesday or Wednesday. Segura has been fighting a minor injury to his thumb, said Roenicke, who did not specify which thumb.

"He's always on the ground, he's always diving around," Roenicke said. "He brings energy to a team. It's hard to take him out of there, because the energy he brings and the way he plays -- he's a great player. But somewhere, whether it's [Tuesday or Wednesday], he's going to get a day."

• The bullpen was in dire need of help after Sunday, when Tyler Thornburg took over after a rain delay of two hours and 20 minutes and worked five shutout innings, Brandon Kintzler pitched three innings and Francisco Rodriguez two. Asked who was available for Monday night, Roenicke smiled and began rattling off position players -- Sean Halton, Logan Schafer, Carlos Gomez and Martin Maldonado.

He was not kidding.

"That's where we are," he said. "It needs to be someone who has been on the rubber and has figured out a windup. It can't be a guy who says, 'Yeah, I pitched in Little League.'"

• Second baseman Rickie Weeks was named the Brewers' player of the month for May in a vote of club officials, broadcasters and beat writers, and Kyle Lohse was named the pitcher of the month.
