Donovan was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to toe discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

It's unclear what caused Donovan's injury, but his toe forced him out of the game in the ninth inning after he had gone 0-for-3 with a run scored. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now, though Nolan Gorman could pick up some additional starts at second base if Donovan has to miss any amount of time.

Marsh was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to left elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Marsh looked a little uncomfortable after sliding into second base during the second inning, though he wasn't removed until the sixth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for a while could signal that his injury isn't too serious, though the Phillies will likely offer some more details in the near future. Johan Rojas would be the favorite to pick up some starts in center field if Marsh needs to sit out another game or two.

Chapman (hand) said Tuesday that he expects to miss more than the minimum 10 days while on the injured list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman was placed on the IL on Tuesday after injuring his right hand while diving back into first base Sunday. The third baseman underwent an MRI on Monday, which showed sprained ligaments in his hand. Chapman said Tuesday that he hopes to return to action before the All-Star break, with the Giants' last game of the first half coming July 13. It's a tough break for the 32-year-old, who had recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 games, batting .395 with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases over that stretch.

Feltner (back) completed a full bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Feltner has been conducting his throwing program at the Rockies' spring training facility in Arizona since being pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque in late May. The right-hander will likely throw at least a couple more side sessions before advancing to facing hitters and eventually heading back out on a rehab assignment. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 2 due to the back issue, Feltner may need more than one rehab start before he's cleared to rejoin the Colorado rotation, possibly in late June or early July.

Gomber (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks over four innings in his rehab start for Double-A Hartford on Wednesday.

Gomber's appearance was his first at any level since March 28, when he made a rehab start in Triple-A Albuquerque's season opener before experiencing a setback in his recovery from left shoulder soreness. The left-hander checked out fine coming out of Wednesday's start, and after completing a bullpen session at Coors Field on Saturday, he's set to report to Albuquerque for his next rehab outing Tuesday. Gomber is expected to cover 65 pitches Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list and make his season debut with the Rockies.

Mayfield (shoulder) struck out four over two perfect innings in a start of Single-A Lake Elsinore last Wednesday.

Mayfield made his first appearance since May 13 after he had been shut down with left shoulder discomfort, though Lake Elsinore never placed him on its injured list. One of the top lower-level prospects in the San Diego system, Mayfield has accrued a 4.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB across 22.1 innings over seven starts at Single-A this season.

Bailey was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies due to neck spasms, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

While Bailey takes a day off to recover, Andrew Knizner will start behind the plate and could continue to do so if Bailey needs to miss any additional games.

The Diamondbacks transferred Mena (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Mena landed on the injured list Saturday due to a teres major strain in his right shoulder. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, he won't be eligible to return to the D-backs' bullpen until early August. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Tayler Scott, who was selected from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks placed Montes De Oca on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation.

Montes De Oca reported discomfort in his elbow after Monday's contest, and an MRI revealed inflammation Tuesday. He'll remain on the shelf for at least the next 15 days as a result, and with Jeff Brigham and Justin Martinez (elbow) also leaving the active roster, the D-backs will bring in Kevin Ginkel, Bryce Jarvis and Tayler Scott as bullpen reinforcements.

The Diamondbacks optioned Brigham to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Brigham's demotion comes after he surrendered three runs without recording an out during Monday's win over Seattle. With Justin Martinez (elbow) and Christian Montes De Oca (elbow) moving to the IL, the D-backs will call up Kevin Ginkel, Bryce Jarvis and Tayler Scott to reinforce their bullpen.
