Rea (1-1) allowed four runs on five hits across two innings to take the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. He walked two and struck out three.

Rea pitched a scoreless first inning but things went downhill quickly from there. He allowed two home runs in the second, then started the third by allowing three straight singles before getting the hook. Rea's ERA climbed to 5.79 in the process. The righty is likely to return to the bullpen at some point, but with both Jose Quintana (lat) and Tyler Chatwood (forearm) currently on the shelf, Rea remains an option to make some spot starts.

Peterson will return to the rotation to start Monday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Peterson moved to the bullpen earlier in the weekend, though the arrangement was evidently a very temporary one, as he'll return to the rotation after pitching just once in relief. Peterson has been a useful arm for the Mets in 29.2 innings this season, posting a 3.03 ERA, though his 17.4 percent strikeout rate and 10.7 percent walk rate indicate some regression could be coming.

Kim landed on the 10-day injured list due to a kidney issue Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Kim reportedly was dealing with abdominal pain Friday morning and had to be taken to the emergency room, where a kidney blockage was discovered. He's reportedly feeling much better and is likely to pitch again this season. The transaction was made retroactive to Wednesday, meaning he can return to action next Saturday, though it's not yet clear whether he's expected to do so.

Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list for an undisclosed reason, retroactive to Wednesday.

Kim was dominant in Tuesday's start as he earned his second win of the season, but he'll now miss time with an undisclosed issue. Dakota Hudson will start Sunday in his place. It's unclear how much time Kim is expected to miss.

Ynoa was optioned to the Braves' alternate training site Saturday.

Ynoa struggled mightily in a spot start during Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, and he'll head to the team's alternate camp in hopes of turning things around. Right-hander Chad Sobotka was recalled in a corresponding move.

Davies (6-2) earned the win Friday against Oakland by tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and four walks while fanning five.

Davies earned a fourth straight win and has not allowed more than three earned runs in any outing this season while fanning at least five in all but one game so far. In fact, he is coming off back-to-back scoreless performances, so the right-hander is clearly trending in the right direction. He will carry a 2.23 ERA and a stellar 0.93 WHIP into next Wednesday's matchup at home against Colorado.

Anderson (1-3) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while fanning two across four innings.

Anderson's last two starts against Arizona haven't been pretty -- he has given up 11 runs on 16 hits and four walks while fanning five across 8.2 innings. He also tossed a complete game against the Diamondbacks on Aug. 22, however, so he has shown the ability to get things done in the past. Through nine appearances (seven starts), Anderson owns a 5.18 ERA and 1.45 WHIP this season. His next scheduled start will come Sept. 9 at home against the Mariners.

Ynoa didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, surrendering six runs on five hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

Getting a spot start in the twin bill, Ynoa gave up runs in all three of his frames, although his final line was inflated when Luke Jackson allowed a couple of inherited runners to score after the 22-year-old got the hook. Ynoa has a 7.71 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season, and he'll likely remain in a low-leverage long-relief role.

Milone didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, allowing one run on six hits over four innings. He struck out three.

The veteran southpaw threw 43 of 65 pitches before exiting, and while the Nats had runners in scoring position in three of Milone's four frames, he was able to limit the damage. He pitched well enough to remain in Atlanta's rotation for now, and his next turn is scheduled for Wednesday, at home against the Marlins.

Burnes (2-0) was charged with one unearned run on three hits over six innings in a win over Cleveland on Friday. He struck out seven and issued two walks.

After working mostly in a piggyback role early on, Burnes has shined since stepping into the starting rotation. He's been especially good over his last two starts, giving up six hits and zero earned runs while posting a 17:3 K:BB over 12 innings. The 25-year-old right-hander is throwing heat and the cutter has helped him neutralize lefty hitters. With that, Burnes seems to be blossoming into a legitimate frontline starter and will look to keep it going next weekend at home against the Cubs.
