The Marlins optioned Tarnok to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Tarnok made a nice impression during his brief time in the majors, picking up a save in his first appearance and a win in his other outing and not allowing a baserunner in either outing. He should receive another opportunity with the Marlins eventually, but for now he's clearing out to make room on the roster for Wednesday's starting pitcher, Adam Mazur, who was recalled from Triple-A. Tarnok could settle back into a starting role as he returns to Jacksonville.

McMahon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

McMahon will get a rare day of rest after he started in each of the previous six games. Orlando Arcia will cover third base and bat sixth for the Rockies while McMahon gets a breather.

Goodman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Nationals.

Goodman will get a well-earned day after starting in each of the last five and 13 of the last 14 contests. The Rockies will go with Braxton Fulford at catcher Wednesday and will plug him into the No. 9 spot in the batting order.

Estrada (hand) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Estrada exited Tuesday's win after being hit in the right hand by a pitch. X-rays came back clean, but Estrada is likely sore and will be given at least one day of rest. Kyle Farmer will start at the keystone and bat second for the Rockies.

Ogasawara (oblique) has been transferred to High-A Wilmington to continue his rehab assignment.

Ogasawara tossed two scoreless frames with two strikeouts with the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Saturday in his first rehab start. The left-hander has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Rochester since mid-April due to an oblique strain. Ogasawara should be activated by Rochester soon if all goes well, but there's no indication he's under consideration for a spot on the major-league roster anytime soon. The 27-year-old held a 4.80 ERA and 12:4 K:BB over 15 innings in three starts for Rochester before getting hurt.

Estrada (2-4) took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits without retiring any batters.

When Estrada entered in the sixth inning, the game was tied 3-3. The right-hander gave up a single to the first batter he faced and was then tagged for a two-run homer by Will Smith. Estrada gave up three consecutive singles following the long ball and was pulled without having recorded an out. He's yielded seven runs over 1.2 innings across his past three outings, pushing his season ERA from 2.08 up to 3.94.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.

The steal was the third in two games for the shortstop, giving him 14 on the season in 16 attempts. Abrams is locked in at the plate right now, racking up four multi-hit performances in the last eight games while batting .375 (12-for-32) with a homer, three RBI and eight runs scored.

Soto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

He got the game off to a quick start for the Mets, driving a Spencer Schwellenbach slider out of the park to center field in the first inning. Soto's been on a rampage over the last 16 games, slashing .340/.521/.736 with six of his 14 homers on the season, along with 11 RBI and 18 runs scored.

Edwards went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

The Marlins' leadoff hitter continues to rack up hits in June. Tuesday's effort was Edwards' sixth multi-hit performance in 13 games on the month, a stretch in which he's slashing .404/.466/.462 with five RBI and seven runs. The steal was his 12th of the season, but his first successful attempt since he returned to action from a back issue at the end of May.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Quantrill dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during Tuesday's start against the Phillies, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Quantrill was seen grabbing at his hamstring after the Marlins recorded the final out in the top of the fourth inning. He came back out for the fifth but was pulled after hitting a batter and giving up a double. Quantrill had thrown only 74 pitches and allowed just one run to that point, although he was charged with an additional two runs after exiting. It's not clear how much the right-hander's cramping factored into McCullough's decision to remove the hurler, but the manager expects Quantrill to be ready to go for his next scheduled outing Tuesday in San Francisco.
