The Marlins recalled Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Miami had just optioned Gibson to Triple-A on Wednesday, but he'll be able to rejoin the big club less than a week later after infielder Xavier Edwards (thumb) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 5.87 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB over 38.1 innings for the Marlins this season.

Dion is slated to start Monday's game against the Marlins at Nationals Park.

After being deployed as a bulk reliever behind an opener in four of his last five appearances, Dion will get the chance to make his first MLB start Monday. Since the 26-year-old lefty hasn't tossed more than 64 pitches in any of his big-league appearances to date, he'll likely be operating with a restricted workload and could struggle to reach the five innings he would need to hit to qualify for a win. Acquired from the Guardians on Aug. 3, Dion has pitched effectively since joining the Nationals, turning in a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Jimenez (knee) has been responding well after bullpen sessions the past few weeks, but the skipper acknowledged that a return from the 60-day injured list this season would still be a "giant leap," Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

On the mend after undergoing a third surgery on his left knee in the spring, Jimenez is making good progress in his recovery. Per Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the right-hander threw a 20-pitch side session at Truist Park and took part in pitcher's fielding practice Monday. It's unlikely the 31-year-old will have enough time to check all of the boxes needed to return before the end of the regular season, however. Jimenez hasn't pitched in a game since October 2024.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Lopez (knee) is expected to make another rehab start this week before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Lopez has covered nine innings between his first two rehab starts with Triple-A Gwinnett, striking out five batters while allowing four runs on 11 hits and one walk. Though the right-hander could be headed for the bullpen once he's activated from the IL, Atlanta is giving Lopez the chance to get stretched out as a starter in case he's needed to fill a spot in the big club's six-man rotation during September. Before landing on the IL on Aug. 2 due to left knee inflammation, Lopez had started in each of his last six appearances for Atlanta and logged a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB across 28 innings.

Suarez (elbow) took pitcher's fielding practice at Truist Park on Monday and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

The veteran reliever is ready to take the mound for the first time since he went down with right elbow inflammation more than two months ago. Suarez said that he expects to throw at least one more bullpen session after Tuesday before his next step is determined. He remains in line to return from the injured list sometime in September as long as he can avoid setbacks.

The Brewers placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain.

Wilson tossed 2.2 scoreless innings out of the Milwaukee bullpen in Sunday's loss to the Rangers, but he evidently came out of the appearance injured. He will be eligible to return Sept. 15, but the Brewers haven't revealed a timetable for the righty.

The Brewers activated Uribe (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Shelved for the past three weeks with a right shoulder strain, Uribe made a pair of scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return from the IL. He will resume his role as a primary setup man ahead of closer Trevor Megill.

Miller blew the save Sunday against the Rays, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

Miller entered the ninth with a two-run lead but surrendered a leadoff single to Junior Caminero before Jonny DeLuca tagged him for a game-tying two-run homer with two outs. It marked Miller's second blown save in 34 opportunities and just the second time all season he's allowed multiple runs in an appearance. Despite the rare setback, Miller continues to enjoy a stellar campaign, sporting a 1.26 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and an elite 16.3 K/9, while his 32 saves rank second in the NL.

Pagan picked up the save Sunday against the Cubs. He allowed one run on a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over one inning.

Entering with a three-run cushion, Pagan served up a solo homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong but was able to close things out in the ninth inning for his 19th save of the campaign. The veteran hurler has converted all 13 of his save opportunities since July 1, when he returned from an almost two-month absence due to a left hamstring strain. Overall, Pagan owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB across 33.1 innings in 2026.

Kerkering picked up the save Sunday against the Angels. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings.

Kerkering recorded the final out of the eighth inning before surrendering a run in the ninth frame, though the Phillies had built enough of a lead for him to secure his second save. Jhoan Duran, who owns a 1.64 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 28 saves, pitched two innings Saturday and was potentially unavailable Sunday. Kerkering has operated as one of Philadelphia's top right-handed relievers, posting a 3.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 56:27 K:BB and 16 holds across 53 innings this season.
