Kim went 2-for-4 with an RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over Miami.

Kim made his first career MLB start Monday after appearing as a pinch runner and swiping a bag Sunday against Atlanta. He singled and stole second base in the fifth inning before coming around to score on Shohei Ohtani's home run. Kim posted a .798 OPS with 14 extra-base hits and 13 steals in 13 attempts across 28 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City before his promotion.

Imanaga has been diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain that is expected to hold him out for more than two weeks, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

This update likely means that Imanaga will miss more than the minimum while on the injured list. Manager Craig Counsell stated that the two-week timeline was set as a precaution, so it doesn't appear that the club is in any hurry to rush the southpaw back into action. A clearer timeline for Imanaga's return should come into focus as he begins to make progress in his rehab.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 4-0 win against Cincinnati.

Olson was credited with an inside-the-park homer in the third inning when Tyler Callihan injured himself attempting to catch a flyball in the left-field corner. The Atlanta first baseman has been a walk machine over his last 10 games, drawing 10 walks while posting a .378 OBP and nine runs scored. Overall, Olson is now slashing .225/.372/.417 across 148 plate appearances.

Hernandez (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Dodger Insider reports.

Hernandez exited Monday's series opener with left hamstring tightness, and the team has yet to rule out a stint on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts stated after the game that the club would add a player to the taxi squad ahead of Tuesday's matchup in the event Hernandez requires a trip to the IL, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Verdugo went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a steal, a walk, one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-0 victory over the Reds.

Verdugo hit leadoff for the fourth consecutive game and tallied his sixth and seventh doubles of the season off starter Brady Singer. The Atlanta outfielder also swiped his first base of the season, pilfering second in the seventh inning. Verdugo has been hot since joining the big-league club April 17, slashing .322/.385/.441 with nine runs scored and seven RBI across 65 plate appearances.

Smith-Shawver (2-2) earned the win Monday against the Reds, allowing one hit and four walks over eight scoreless innings. He struck out five.

After departing his April 29 outing due to taking a comebacker off his right elbow, Smith-Shawver showed no ill effects in this 99-pitch performance. The 22-year-old carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning until Santiago Espinal opened the frame with a single. Smith-Shawver now sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 27 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start at Pittsburgh this weekend.

Singer (4-2) took the loss Monday at Atlanta, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The Cincinnati right-hander generated just three whiffs in this 102-pitch outing, as he notched a season-low two Ks. Singer coughed up all four runs in the third inning, capped by a Matt Olson inside-the-park home run. Through 39.1 innings, Singer has pitched to a 3.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB. The 28-year-old is currently scheduled to make his next start at Houston this weekend.

Callihan has been diagnosed with a fractured left forearm after exiting Monday's game against Atlanta.

Callihan was removed from Monday's matchup against Atlanta early after crashing hard into the outfield wall. He's presumably looking at a lengthy absence given the severity of the injury, but the club is unlikely to have a timetable for his return until later on in his recovery. Skipper Terry Francona noted after the game that Callihan is headed back to Cincinnati to schedule surgery, per Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News.

Calaz (undisclosed) is 5-for-17 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in five games for Single-A Fresno since returning from the 7-day injured list.

Calaz was shut down for a good chunk of April due to an unspecified injury. However, he's been flashing the power since being reinstated and turned in his first multi-hit game of the season Saturday.

Callihan was removed from Monday's game against Atlanta due to an apparent left arm injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Callihan suffered the injury while attempting to make a catch at the wall and immediately exited the field after the play. Blake Dunn replaced Callihan in left field.
