Snell was scratched from Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks with left adductor tightness.

Snell was confirmed as the starter for Sunday's contest earlier in the day, and it didn't become apparent that he wasn't starting until Nabil Crismatt took the mound to start warming up. Snell missed time down the stretch last year with a similar injury, though the severity of the issue this time around remains unclear.

Mejia was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Mejia was designated for assignment Thursday, but he went unclaimed on waivers. He'll stick with the organization as a result and is likely to have a role in the rotation with Triple-A Reno.

Cabrera (biceps) was placed on the minor-league injured list Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This is concerning news, not only because it is an arm injury, but also because Cabrera had a biceps issue in the spring of 2021. It's unclear how long he may be sidelined, though any return to the majors will certainly be delayed.

Davies didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Padres after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Davies was just three outs away from posting a quality start in an outing during which 43 of his 75 pitches went for strikes. He's looking to rebound from a 2021 season in which he posted a 5.78 ERA across 32 starts with the Cubs, and while he was far from perfect in this one and recorded more walks than strikeouts, it was still a decent performance as he limited the damage. Davies is expected to make his next start against the Mets next week.

Musgrove didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Arizona after allowing two runs on five hits while striking out eight across six innings.

Musgrove was extremely sharp from a command perspective since 53 of his 74 pitches were strikes. While he couldn't deliver a clean outing, at least he posted a quality start -- something that hasn't happened often in the early days of the season. The veteran is coming off the best season of his career after posting a 3.18 ERA across 181.1 innings in 2021.

Miley (elbow) has been able to play light catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Miley was shut down for 10 days April 1 due to inflammation in his left elbow. While he is making some progress, he does not appear to be all that close to a return.

Anderson (toe) will make his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

As expected, the right big toe blister that resulted in Anderson being removed early in his final Grapefruit League start Monday against the Rays won't prevent him from making his first turn through the regular-season rotation. The 23-year-old may be on a limited pitch count Sunday, however; he didn't cover more than three innings in any of his three spring starts.

Wright (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Reds, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings while striking out six.

It was a fantastic season debut for the 26-year-old right-hander, who fired 56 of 76 pitches for strikes and didn't allow a baserunner to get into scoring position. Wright is looking to lock down a spot in the Atlanta rotation this year after struggling in multiple stints in the majors over the last four seasons, and he'll try to keep this momentum going in his next scheduled start, Friday on the road in San Diego.

Gutierrez (0-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Reds fell 2-1 to Atlanta. He struck out four.

It wasn't a particularly sharp season debut for Gutierrez, who threw 45 of 76 pitches for strikes, but the Cincinnati offense also gave him little support. The 26-year-old right-hander could have a hard time hanging onto his rotation spot this year once everyone is healthy with top prospects Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo getting looks, and Gutierrez is facing a tough matchup in his next scheduled start Friday on the road against the Dodgers.

Adon (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell 5-0 to the Mets, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three.

Making his second career start in the majors, Adon looked nervous, uncorking two wild pitches and plunking Starling Marte in addition to his free passes. Adon threw only 47 of 86 pitches for strikes and saw all four of the runs he allowed crossed the plate when Pete Alonso drove a fifth-inning fastball down the line for a grand slam. The Nationals don't have much in the way of rotation depth right now, so expect Adon to get more chances to show he belongs in the bigs. The right-hander at least gets a more favorable matchup on paper in his next scheduled start, Thursday on the road in Pittsburgh.
