Suarez was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Sunday.

Suarez will now be placed on waivers by Atlanta after producing a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with five strikeouts over 7.1 innings in three appearances out of the bullpen. If he clears waivers, he'll either be outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett or released by the team, or he could elect free agency. The transaction makes room for Scott Blewett on Atlanta's 40-man roster after the team traded to get Blewett from the Orioles on Sunday.

Luzardo did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over seven innings.

Luzardo was fantastic against his former team, needing just 88 pitches to complete seven frames while generating 17 swinging strikes. The southpaw has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his five starts with his new club. On the season, he owns a 2.08 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB across 30.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

The Orioles traded Blewett to Atlanta in exchange for cash considerations Sunday.

Blewett was designated for assignment by Baltimore on Saturday, and he'll now look to carve out a role with Atlanta. The right-hander has appeared in four games with the Twins and Orioles in 2025, giving up one run on nine hits and a walk while striking out 11 batters over nine innings. Blewett is out of minor-league options, so he'll report directly to Atlanta's 26-man roster.

Sanoja went 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Phillies

Sanoja picked the perfect time for his first career homer, launching a three-run shot in the eighth inning to give the Marlins a 5-4 advantage. He later tacked on an RBI single in the 10th to extend the team's lead to 7-5. The 22-year-old has played well in a utility role this season, hitting .350 with one home run, six RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base across 44 plate appearances.

Holmes pitched six innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Holmes tossed five scoreless frames before running into a little trouble in the top of the sixth inning, surrendering the only run on his line on a one-out RBI groundout by Alec Burleson. The right-hander has now given up just two runs over 11 innings in his last two starts after the Marlins tagged him for four runs over 5.1 frames April 8. Holmes will carry a 3.16 ERA and 1.36 WHIP into his next projected start Saturday on the road versus the Nationals.

Taillon allowed one run on three hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2, 11-inning loss to the Diamondbacks. He walked two and struck out six.

Taillon pitched well enough to deserve his second win of the season but didn't receive enough run support to escape his third straight no-decision. The veteran righty allowed six runs over 4.1 innings in his first start of the year, but since then, he's allowed only eight runs across 22.1 innings while striking out 23. Taillon seems to be rounding into form, and he'll look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for next Sunday against the Phillies, as the Cubs only play five games in the coming week.

Wicks (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on three hits across two innings of work to take the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.

Wicks worked the 10th and 11th innings in an eventual 3-2 defeat, and he allowed an unearned run in each inning to ultimately take his first loss of the season. The lefty was just recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, and he's now allowed five runs (three earned) across two appearances. Wicks figures to work as a low-leverage arm for the Cubs until further notice.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

Naylor delivered the Diamondbacks' first run in the third inning, then knocked in the winning run in the 11th. This was the ninth multi-hit effort in 22 games played for Naylor, who is batting .333/.406/.954 with 10 extra-base hits, 15 RBI, four steals and 14 runs scored.

Arraez was removed from Sunday's contest against the Astros in the top of the first inning after a collision at first base, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Arraez laid down a bunt in his first at-bat of the day, making forceful contact with Mauricio Dubon at first base while busting it down the line. Arraez remained down for several minutes before being carted off the field with his head and neck stabilized, including a brace around his neck. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

Ramirez is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Ramirez will make his major-league debut Monday versus the Reds, joining the Marlins roster after batting .258 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases over 66 at-bats in 18 games at Triple-A. The catcher will likely compete with Liam Hicks for work behind the plate moving forward with Nick Fortes (oblique) currently unavailable with a Grade 1 left oblique strain.
