An MRI revealed Voth is dealing with tendinitis in his shoulder, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Voth will remain shut down from throwing for the time being, and manager Dave Martinez relayed that the team will be "careful" with the 27-year-old righty, suggesting a return could be a ways away.

Anderson gave up a hit in a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday to record his seventh hold of the season in a win over the White Sox.

The flame-throwing rookie has overcome the control issues that plagued him earlier in the year -- since the beginning of June, Anderson has a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB through 19.2 innings. He's the likeliest option to take over the closer role for Miami should Sergio Romo get flipped at the trade deadline.

Rodney worked both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, tossing two scoreless innings and recording two holds while allowing a hit and a walk. He struck out one.

The right-hander now has a 2.79 ERA with two saves and six holds in 11 appearances since joining the Nationals, although Rodney's 1.55 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in 9.2 innings indicates how fragile his success has been. Don't be surprised if the 42-year-old loses his setup spot in front of Sean Doolittle to a trade deadline acquisition.

Suero (3-5) picked up the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless seventh inning.

The right-hander hasn't been charged with a run in nine of his last 10 appearances, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB with two wins and three holds in nine innings over that stretch. Suero's 4.96 ERA on the season remains weak, but his current performance and setup role for Sean Doolittle give him some fantasy appeal in deep formats that score holds.

Coonrod did not allow a baserunner or strike out a batter over a scoreless inning in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs.

Coonrod needed just five pitches to make quick work of a portion of the Cubs' lineup that consisted of Kyle Schwarber and Javier Baez. The 26-year-old has performed well when called upon in brief stints in the majors this year, giving up just one run and striking out four over six innings. Coonrod will likely find himself back in the minors when the Giants require a fifth starter late next week.

Almonte was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque following Wednesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Almonte was called up to serve as the 26th man for the twin bill, but he didn't take the mound in either contest. The 25-year-old returns to Triple-A, where he has a 4.88 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB over 24 innings this season.

Lamet gave up two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six through four innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.

Lamet had 16 swinging strikes and showed flashes of dominance, but he also labored through four innings, running his pitch count to 80 without making it into the fifth. The 27-year-old has a 5.00 ERA with a 12.5 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 through four starts this season. While Lamet has huge strikeout upside, he is also struggling with his command and hasn't pitched more than five innings since returning from Tommy John surgery. Lamet will make his next start Tuesday against the Orioles at Petco Park.

Beede (3-4) allowed four earned runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out seven across 5.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Cubs.

Beede was burned by the long ball, surrendering three in his 5.2 innings of work. However, he still managed seven punchouts on the strength of 20 swinging strikes. He had been on a strong run of late, not allowing multiple home runs in any of his last seven appearances while also turning in five consecutive starts without surrendering more than three earned runs prior to Wednesday. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for Tuesday at Philadelphia.

Clarke (3-3) allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out seven across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Orioles.

Clarke turned in his first quality start since May 25, though he did still surrender two home runs. The effort may be enough to save his spot in the rotation, as Manager Torey Lovullo was quoted as saying Clarke's struggles were an "obvious concern" prior to the start. Through 51.2 innings on the season, Clarke has now managed a 6.10 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. He'll look to turn in another strong effort in his next outing, a tough matchup Tuesday at the Yankees.

Kimbrel allowed two hits with no walks or strikeouts across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Giants.

After retiring the first two batters he faced without incident, Kimbrel surrendered consecutive singles. However, he got Brandon Belt to line out to end the game and notch his seventh save of the season. Since allowing five earned runs across his first 2.2 innings this season, Kimbrel has turned in eight consecutive scoreless outings. He still has a bloated 4.22 ERA and 1.41 WHIP, but has maintained his status as one of the best closers in the game with this strong stretch.
