Martinez (1-3) yielded one run on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cardinals.

Martinez coughed up an RBI double to Nolan Arenado in the first inning but settled in for his first quality start and win of the 2025 campaign. Martinez was fairly efficient, throwing 76 pitches (45 strikes) and generating three double plays. He dropped his ERA to 4.68 alongside a 26:11 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Martinez is lined up for a home start against Washington this weekend.

Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Reds.

Cincinnati chipped away at Pallante throughout his start by plating runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings. It was Pallante's first quality start since April 11. However, he's given up three or more runs in three straight starts after allowing just four total runs through his first three outings. His ERA sits at 4.13 with a 20:12 K:BB through 32.2 frames. Pallante is lined up for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Canning (4-1) earned the win Monday at Washington, allowing four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The 28-year-old right-hander continued his resurgent season with this 90-pitch performance, generating 10 whiffs. Canning has been especially stingy of late, conceding just two runs over his last 16 innings (1.13 ERA) with a 1.25 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB. Overall, he's pitched to a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 31 innings. Canning is currently scheduled to make his next start at St. Louis this weekend.

Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers announced earlier Monday that a trip to the injured list appeared likely for Glasnow, and the club made the move official a short time later. Noah Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, though Ben Casparius appears to be one of the top candidates to replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

Williams (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

The Washington right-hander entered this contest on a roll, yielding just two runs across his previous 10 innings. After allowing three runs through the first five frames, Williams unraveled in the sixth inning and was pulled after walking consecutive batters. Colin Poche relieved Williams and conceded a three-run homer to Brandon Nimmo to tag two additional runs on the starter. Williams now sports an unsightly 5.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 30 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend.

Snell received an injection to assist in treating his left shoulder inflammation Monday, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.

This isn't a significant update on the southpaw, who was expected to receive an injection after dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder. However, it'll be worth keeping a close eye on how Snell feels in the days after the injection, as there isn't currently a firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to resume throwing.

Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that Glasnow is likely looking at a stint on the 15-day injured list, and he's now being evaluated by the club's medical staff for overall body soreness in addition to right shoulder soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It was initially reported that a trip to the injured list was merely a possibility for Glasnow, but further evaluation has revealed that a shut-down period is likely necessary. The 31-year-old departed Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, and the team is still working to determine the extent of the issue after it was revealed Monday that Glasnow is also dealing with overall body soreness.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Gomber (shoulder) has not thrown since making a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on March 28, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Gomber made one rehab start before being shut down with renewed left shoulder soreness. Black added that the southpaw is feeling better and is close to beginning a throwing program, but there's no timetable for him to return from the 60-day injured list.

Blackburn (knee/illness) resumed throwing Sunday and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Blackburn was scratched from a rehab start last week due to a stomach bug that resulted in some weight loss. He's feeling better now, though, and should be able to resume his rehab assignment soon. The righty originally went on the 15-day injured list due to right knee inflammation.

The Nationals haven't decided whether Soroka (biceps) will return from the 15-day injured list this week or make another rehab start, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Soroka believes he's ready to pitch with the big club after going 4.1 innings and throwing 78 pitches in his second rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday. However, manager Dave Martinez said the team could have Soroka make one more rehab start in order to get his pitch count up to 90. A decision on where Soroka's next start will take place should come within the next few days. The righty is working his way back from a biceps strain.
