Rodriguez (shoulder) felt good after throwing a three-inning, 55-pitch simulated game Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has bounced back quickly since landing on the 15-day injured list May 15 due to left shoulder inflammation. He initiated a throwing program in the days following the transaction and is the point where the Diamondbacks are considering having him bypass a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rodriguez is set to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, and he'll be eligible to be reinstated Saturday.

Henriquez (foot) recently resumed throwing bullpen sessions and is close to facing live hitters, MLB.com reports.

Henriquez has been on the injured list all season due to a left foot fracture he suffered this spring. The right-handed reliever has been throwing at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list at some point in June.

Hurt (elbow) recently began throwing bullpen sessions at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

The progression to throwing bullpens represents a significant step for Hurt in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The procedure took place last July, so Hurt isn't certain to make it back to pitching in big-league games this season, a return from the 60-day injured list in September isn't out of the question.

Sheehan (elbow) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment sometime in June, MLB.com reports.

Sheehan has been throwing to live hitters at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona as he works his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last May. It's not yet clear at what point in June the right-handed hurler could kick off a rehab stint, and he's not expected to be ready to be activated off the 60-day injured list until around the All-Star break.

Senzatela (1-9) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Senzatela's day ended midway through the fifth inning when the contest was paused due to inclement weather. The 30-year-old was at 75 pitches when the delay occurred and didn't retake the mound when play resumed. His nine losses are the most in baseball, and no other pitcher has more than seven. He's taken the loss in each of his last six outings and has a 7.89 ERA over 29.1 innings during that stretch. Senzatela is scheduled to face the Mets in New York next weekend.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Moniak swatted a leadoff homer in the ninth inning, getting Colorado within one run of the Yankees, but the Rockies couldn't complete the comeback. It was the 27-year-old's first home run since April 19, breaking a 32-game dry spell. On the year, Moniak is slashing .214/.260/.386 in 150 plate appearances.

Luzardo didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Oakland, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over seven innings.

All three runs against Luzardo came in the first inning, when Jacob Wilson swatted a solo home run and Logan Davidson hit a two-RBI double. Luzardo was lights out after that, tossing six scoreless frames while striking out nine more batters. The left-hander has punched out 10 batters in back-to-back starts and has yet to take a loss on the season. In his last three appearances, Luzardo posted a 2.25 ERA and a 26:6 K:BB across 20 innings. He's lined up to face the Brewers next weekend.

Darvish (elbow) felt tightness in his elbow following his rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on May 14 and doesn't feel ready to pitch in a big-league game, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

While Darvish is still playing catch and isn't feeling pain in his throwing elbow, it's nonetheless concerning that the veteran hurler has essentially had his rehab stint halted after throwing 51 pitches over four innings with El Paso in his lone appearance. Per Acee, sources indicate that Darvish hasn't suffered a setback, but the 38-year-old doesn't feel confident that he would be able to recover well enough between starts to justify being activated from the injured list and rejoining San Diego's rotation. The expectation is that Darvish will be examined during the coming week to determine if his elbow is structurally sound, and the results of that consultation should provide more clarity about what the path forward looks like for the Japanese pitcher.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

Frazier entered the series with a .200/.273/.300 slash line through 18 games in May, but he came alive during the four-game set versus Milwaukee. The 33-year-old went 7-for-14 with three walks during the series, and he temporarily gave the Pirates a 5-3 lead Sunday with run-scoring hits in the sixth and seventh innings. Frazier has started the past six games as he continues to fill the strong side of a platoon at second base for Pittsburgh.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a sacrifice fly during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Turner accounted for three of Philadelphia's four runs Sunday and logged his fifth multi-hit game in his last seven appearances. The shortstop's three RBI marked a season high. On the year, Turner is slashing .310/.365/.443 with five home runs, 14 stolen bases and 37 runs scored.
