Reed was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right forearm inflammation, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Reed was back in the Mets' bullpen for nearly a week, and he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five in four scoreless innings. Whether he'll be forced to miss more than the minimum of 10 days remains to be seen, but right-hander Yennsy Diaz will take his place in the major-league bullpen.

Pomeranz (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Pomeranz has been ruled out for the season after he underwent surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon last week, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. The transaction makes room for Jurickson Profar, who was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Yamamoto (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with the Mets' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Yamamoto has been on the injured list since late May due to a sore right shoulder, but he resumed mound work in mid-July. The righty tossed a scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance and will likely require several appearances in the minors before he's ready to rejoin the major-league club. However, Yamamoto should be available as a starting option for the Mets if they need one in September.

Lambert (elbow) felt good following Wednesday's rehab start, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Lambert is working his way back from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in July of 2020. It looks as though he'll have time to return before the end of the season, though he won't have time to make more than a small handful of starts.

Nolin will start Sunday's game against the Brewers, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Nolin took the loss in the first game of an Aug. 12 doubleheader against the Mets, allowing four runs on eight hits across three innings. Despite the underwhelming outing, the left-hander will get another opportunity to earn his second career big-league win Sunday. Manager Dave Martinez wouldn't commit to Nolin taking Joe Ross' (elbow) rotation spot permanently, but that figures to be a possibility.

Llovera was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Friday.

Llovera has allowed seven earned runs on 10 hits (five home runs) and four walks across 6.2 innings this season, so Friday's move comes as little surprise. He'll be placed on waivers, but it's very possible he goes unclaimed given his underwhelming season to this point.

Pruitt's contract was selected by the Marlins prior to Friday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Pruitt was DFA'd by Miami on Aug. 5 but wound up heading to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers. He'll now return to the big leagues with Cody Poteet (knee) moving to the 60-day IL in order to make room on the 40-man roster. Pruitt has logged just 3.2 major-league innings this year, allowing two runs on a pair of solo homers.

Helsley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a stress reaction in his right elbow. The move is retroactive to Aug. 17.

Helsley has apparently been dealing with the injury for a bit since he hasn't seen game action since last Saturday, and he'll be unavailable for at least another week. It's unclear how long the right-hander is expected to be sidelined.

Moore is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Padres in San Diego.

Moore joined the rotation last week as a replacement for Chase Anderson, who had been moved to the injured list with a triceps issue, and surprised by striking out eight over six no-hit innings. The veteran southpaw had maintained a 7.67 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in his previous seven outings with the Phillies. Moore's body of work this season would suggest his most recent start is a massive outlier, but he'll at least get the chance to make one more turn through the rotation while a now-healthy Anderson works out of the bullpen.

Gilbert is scheduled to make a second start for Arizona on Friday in Colorado.

Arizona's decision to keep Gilbert in the rotation for another turn comes as little surprise after he became the first pitcher since 1953 to toss a no-hitter in his first MLB start last weekend versus the Padres. Gilbert struck out only five batters and induced nine swinging strikes in the nine-inning outing, suggesting that his ERA and WHIP will be in line for a correction once his BABIP normalizes. Pitching at altitude in Coors Field certainly won't help Gilbert's chances of submitting another gem.
