Pallante (3-3) took the loss during Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, allowing seven runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts and zero walks in 3.2 innings.

Pallante had his first rough outing as a starter, permitting five runs in the first and another two in the fourth before pulled. The 23-year-old tossed 66 of 96 pitches for strikes, with eight of the swinging variety and a healthy five strikeouts -- tying his season high. In six starts, Pallante has posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 31.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to start again this weekend against Philadelphia.

Sborz was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Sborz rejoined the big-league club June 26 and delivered a scoreless inning during his lone appearance for the Rangers over the past 10 days. The right-hander has appeared in 10 games in the majors this year and has an 8.71 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB across 10.1 innings.

Kimbrel (back) is undergoing a CT scan Tuesday and depending on the results could be placed on the injured list, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

The veteran right-hander had X-rays come back negative after being struck in the back by a line drive Sunday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on the injured list. Blake Treinen (shoulder) and Daniel Hudson (knee) are on the injured list, which should leave Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol and Yency Almonte to compete for save chances should Kimbrel be forced to miss any time.

White was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Rockies, but he still appears likely to remain in the rotation this week, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Ryan Pepiot was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to pick up the start Tuesday, but his addition doesn't appear to be the result of an injury or role change to any of the other five members of the rotation. Stephen notes that Tuesday marks the 15th game in a stretch of 20 contests in as many days for the Dodgers, so manager Dave Roberts may simply be looking to extend White and the other four members of the rotation an extra day of rest amid the busy schedule. Assuming that's the case, White should still be on track to pick up a home start against the Rockies in Wednesday's series finale.

Gilbert was recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday versus the Giants.

The Diamondbacks are in need of an extra starter with Zach Davies (shoulder) on the injured list, and Gilbert will receive the call to start Tuesday. The left-hander has struggled through four big-league outings this year with a 7.88 ERA across 16 innings, but a strong showing against San Francisco could earn him another turn through the rotation.

Ridings (shoulder) hasn't progressed in his activity beyond playing light catch, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.

Ridings has been out all season with a right shoulder impingement, and his likelihood of making it back before the end of the campaign could be narrowing given his lack of progress in his recovery. The right-hander had done some throwing from flat ground in May, but he was subsequently shut down and hasn't made significant strides since. It's unclear exactly what is holding him back, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone was vague on the subject, stating, "It's just been a battle. He's still not doing much. I don't know that it's setbacks. He just hasn't gotten to a point where he's done much. He's played light catch, but he hasn't done more than that. He's had a lot of tests."

Marinaccio (shoulder) is currently shut down from throwing but could begin tossing lightly this weekend, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.

Marinaccio was placed on the injured list Saturday, so it's not surprising that he's currently not throwing. The fact that he could resume tossing a baseball this weekend suggests that he may not be facing an extended absence. Yankees manager Aaron Boone seemed to suggest that scenario Sunday, stating, "Ronnie's obviously a younger guy and going through the grind of the major-league season for the first time. Instead of just kind of pushing through this right now and maybe have it be a lingering issue, it's best to give him a few days and try to keep him as strong and fresh as possible."

Howard was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of his start against the Orioles on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old opened the season in the majors but has been at Triple-A since late April, and he has a 3.69 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB over 46.1 frames in 10 starts for Round Rock. Howard is now taking the big-league rotation spot of Taylor Hearn, who was demoted to the minors last week.

Yates (elbow) continues throwing at Atlanta's spring training complex, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It has been nearly two months since Yates resumed throwing, but Atlanta is not in any hurry to rush him back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in March of 2021. The expectation remains that he will be ready to rejoin Atlanta at some point in August.

Winder was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Winder will take the roster spot of Chris Archer (hip), and he will see work immediately, as he will start Tuesday night against the White Sox. The Twins are hoping to get Archer back right before the All-Star break, but Winder figures to make another start or two before then. Winder allowed at least one earned run in his first three big-league appearances, but he's fared far better after that, posting a 2.88 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 25.0 innings over his last five outings with the Twins.
