Double-A Columbus placed Hackenberg on its 7-day injured list May 15 due to an unspecified injury.

Hackenberg has posted a 7.03 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 19:18 K:BB over 24.1 innings in his eight starts on the season, and it's possible that the injury had something to do with his rough performance. Atlanta hasn't provided any word regarding the nature of the injury or when he might return, but Hackenberg could have his workload monitored carefully once he's ultimately cleared to pitch again.

The Dodgers acquired Klein from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for Joe Jacques and selected Klein's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Klein was removed from the Mariners' 40-man roster over the weekend and is now on the move to Los Angeles, where he'll get another opportunity at the big-league level. The right-handed reliever has struggled at the Triple-A level in 2025, posting a 7.40 ERA and 32:18 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

King said Sunday that he has begun playing light catch and has shown incremental improvement in his recovery from a right shoulder injury, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

King is dealing with a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder and suggested that he expects to return from the injured list within weeks rather than months. However, Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated King is in the early stages of recovery, so a clear timeline on the right-hander's return may not be available until he's further along in the rehab process.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated recently that it's unlikely Painter will make his major-league debut prior to the All-Star break, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

Thomson also hinted that the club plans to give Painter some rest around the All-Star break as part of his workload management in his first season back in action following Tommy John surgery. The right-hander might make his MLB debut shortly after that during the Phillies' homestand that runs from July 18 to 23, although that's not written in ink. Painter's last four starts have been at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and he's posted a 2.65 ERA and 20:7 K:BB over 17 innings in those outings. The 22-year-old went five frames in his last start and is slated to pitch into the sixth inning his next time on the bump.

Pages went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Sunday in a loss to the Yankees.

Pages was the only Dodger with multiple extra-base hits in the contest -- he doubled to right field in the second inning and swatted a solo shot in the seventh. It was the second straight game with a homer and sixth consecutive contest with at least one RBI for the the blossoming young outfielder. Over the latter stretch, Pages has a 1.111 OPS with eight RBI and just one strikeout along with three walks.

Hicks picked up a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Marlins, allowing one earned run on no hits and three walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning.

The right-hander struggled with control Sunday, throwing just six of his 20 pitches for strikes and loading the bases before being pulled. Since being moved out of the rotation in favor of Hayden Birdsong, Hicks has made four relief appearances. During that span, he owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and a 2:4 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

Muncy's third long ball of the three-game series was a 403-foot solo shot to right field in the seventh inning. The veteran slugger didn't go deep until his 29th game of the season and was stuck on that single long ball and a batting average below the Mendoza Line through 39 contests. However, he's turned things around since mid-May, slashing .320/.422/.700 with six home runs, 23 RBI, nine runs, one stolen base and a 10:7 BB:K over his past 16 games.

Miller picked up a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Marlins, allowing two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

Miller entered the game in the eighth inning and recorded his seventh hold of the season, throwing 12 of his 18 pitches for strikes. The left-hander gave up a single and a double before being pulled in favor of closer Camilo Doval. Miller hasn't been charged with a run since May 11. He owns a 1.40 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and a 15:13 K:BB with two wins and two blown saves across 19.1 innings in 23 appearances this season.

Siri (tibia) doesn't appear to be close to returning from the injured list, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.

The outfielder still hasn't worked up to 100 percent in his running progression, and until he does his return timeline will remain murky. Siri hasn't played since April 12 after fracturing his left tibia, but he did begin taking live batting practice last week.

Montas (lat) struck out three batters and allowed two earned runs on two hits and two walks over three innings Thursday for High-A Brooklyn in his second rehab start.

Montas, who is working his way back from a high-grade lat strain, tossed 49 pitches (28 strikes) Thursday and is expected to require at least two more appearances in the minors before becoming an option for the New York rotation around the middle of June. The 32-year-old is scheduled to make his third minor-league appearance Tuesday, this time moving up to Triple-A Syracuse after his prior two outings came with Brooklyn.
