Gonzalez was placed on the injured list Tuesday for undisclosed reasons.

Manager Dave Roberts said earlier in the day that the Dodgers could put some players on the injured list while they deal with side effects from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and that may be the reason behind the move. Gonzalez could be activated as soon as he feels better if he is indeed on the COVID-19 injured list, though the team didn't specify the reason for his absence.

Manager Dave Roberts said Kelly (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming 10-game road trip, which begins Thursday at Milwaukee, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

It was recently reported that the 32-year-old is expected to return in early or mid-May, and it appears he's on track for that timeline. Kelly is currently throwing at the alternate training site. Once activated, he could take on a significant role in the injury-depleted Dodgers bullpen.

Lamet (forearm) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The right-hander's quick return to mound work is good news after he left his season debut April 21 after 29 pitches due to forearm tightness, and a positive session Wednesday should provide a barometer on where he stands in his recovery. Lamet could be cleared to return from the injured list within the next couple weeks with a strong showing against live hitters.

Suero (oblique) began a throwing program Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Suero has already spent the required 10 days on the injured list with his oblique strain, but he'll need more time since he's only just resumed throwing. He's hoping to throw a bullpen session by the end of the week.

Martin (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session this week and a pair of simulated games before returning from the injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Martin has been out since early April due to shoulder inflammation. Previous reports indicated he could return during the team's current homestand, but that ends Thursday. He's expected to throw at least three more times before being activated, so he likely won't return until sometime next week.

Gott cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Giants' alternate training site Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Gott spent just a single day on the Giants' roster in mid-April before being designated for assignment. He'll remain with the organization as minor-league depth.

Weigel was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Weigel is set to make his Milwaukee debut after coming over in a trade from Atlanta in early April. Phil Bickford was optioned in a corresponding move.

Bickford was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Tuesday.

Bickford spent three days on the big-league roster, making one relief appearance. He allowed two runs in one inning of work Monday against Miami. Patrick Weigel was recalled in a corresponding move.

Antone (1-0) fired three scoreless innings without giving up a hit, walking two batters and striking out three to earn his first major-league win over the Dodgers on Monday.

Antone entered Monday's game in the eighth and mowed down the Dodgers' hitters without much issue. The 27-year-old has easily been the Reds' best reliever to begin this season with a 0.66 ERA and 20:6 K:BB over 13.2 innings. His fantasy appeal does present some limitations in leagues that don't count holds due to the fact that he's not a starter and isn't first in line for save opportunities. However, things could change down the road with both Amir Garrett and Lucas Sims struggling in high-leverage situations so far this year.

Jansen (0-1) suffered his first loss of the season Monday against the Reds after serving up a two-run homer in the 10th inning. He also walked and struck out a batter in the outing.

Jansen entered the game to begin the 10th and was unable to keep the Reds off the scoreboard. He surrendered a two-run homer to Jesse Winker on the second pitch of the inning, and the Dodgers were unable to mount a comeback in the bottom half of the frame. The 33-year-old now owns a 2.61 ERA over 10.1 innings on the year and may not be available to pitch for a day or two after needing 24 pitches to get three outs Monday.
