The Diamondbacks plan to call up Gilbert from Triple-A Reno to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Arizona is likely to make the transaction official following the front end of the doubleheader, with Gilbert expected to be designated as the Diamondbacks' 29th man for the twin bill. Gilbert notably tossed a no-hitter against the Padres in his MLB debut a season ago, but his 3.15 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings with the big club was supported by poor peripherals (7.6 K-BB%, 38.6 percent groundball rate, 5.09 xFIP). He'll likely be headed back to Reno after his spot start Tuesday.

Peters allowed one walk while striking out three without surrendering a hit or a run across three innings Monday against Milwaukee.

Peters entered the game in the fifth inning, after Zach Thompson was roughed up for six earned runs. He delivered three strong innings as a bulk reliever out of the bullpen and now has seven scoreless frames of work across his three appearances on the season. Peters served as a starter for Pittsburgh in 2021, and it's possible he returns to that role at some point in the new campaign.

Manager Dave Roberts said Monday after the Dodgers' 7-4 win over Atlanta that Treinen won't be available for the final two games of the series due to an arm issue, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts noted that Treinen's arm was "barking" after his appearance in the Dodgers' home opener last Thursday, which is why the reliever hasn't been used since. Fortunately, the skipper relayed that Treinen felt fine while playing catch Monday and is on track to avoid the injured list, but the Dodgers will play it safe by keeping him out a few more days. Treinen is expected to be ready to go when the Dodgers open a three-game series in San Diego on Friday.

Kimbrel picked up a save against the Braves on Monday, hurling a scoreless inning during which he struck out one.

Kimbrel struck out Alex Dickerson to start the frame, but a passed ball allowed Dickerson to reach base. That didn't phase Kimbrel much, as he induced a double play before getting Ozzie Albies to ground out to end the game. The right-hander has secured a save in each of his three appearances this season and has allowed only one run over three innings thus far.

Rogers earned a save against the Reds on Monday, tossing a scoreless ninth inning during which he issued one walk and didn't strike out any batters.

Rogers had a three-run lead to work with upon his entrance, and he worked around a two-out walk to nail down the save. The southpaw leads the National League in that category with five on the season, and he has yet to give up a run across five appearances. Rogers' standout start with San Diego has made him the unquestioned closer at this point in the campaign.

Manaea (2-1) earned the win over Cincinnati on Monday, hurling six innings during which he gave up one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six.

Manaea walked two hitters but was very efficient in getting the ball over the plate, recording first-pitch strikes to 21 of 26 batters and throwing just 18 balls across 78 pitches. The southpaw registered his third straight quality start --- the most in the league -- to begin the campaign after recording 15 such efforts across 32 starts last season. Manaea is off to a blazing beginning with the Padres, posting a 1.42 ERA, 19:5 K:BB and 2-1 record over three starts. His next appearance is expected to be a tough home matchup against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Colome walked one batter in a scoreless ninth inning and earned a save over the Phillies on Monday.

After blowing a save chance in his first 2022 appearance, Colome notched his first save of the year Monday. He issued a two-out walk to Rhys Hoskins but had no trouble finishing off the 4-1 victory. Colome is now sporting a 2.45 ERA through 3.2 innings this season.

Gilbreath (illness) was activated from the injured list Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Gilbreath began the year on the COVID-19 injured list, but he's since been activated after making a rehab appearance for the Triple-A Isotopes on Sunday. He issued a walk and struck out one in a scoreless frame against Tacoma.

Stephenson (illness) was activated from the injured list Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Stephenson was previously placed on the COVID-19 injured list prior to Opening Day, but he has since been activated after making a rehab appearance for the Triple-A Isotopes on Sunday, tossing a perfect frame. He'll now set his sights on returning to his 2021 form after finishing with a 3.13 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 52:18 K:BB across 46 innings last campaign.

Robertson worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Monday's win over the Rays. He struck out one.

Robertson has been brilliant to begin the season, as he's now logged five scoreless innings to go along with four saves. The veteran entered camp seemingly behind Rowan Wick in the Chicago bullpen, but to this point, Robertson has been the clear-cut top option to close games. Mychal Givens has one save, and no one else on the roster has any through 10 contests.
