Ynoa (elbow/shoulder) will resume a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

After missing the 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Ynoa opened the 2024 campaign at full health and occupied a spot in Triple-A Gwinnett's rotation, only to be shut down in mid-April with elbow inflammation before he hurt his shoulder in August during a rehab assignment. He's been cleared for game action again and will hope to ramp back up in time to rejoin Gwinnett before the International League season ends. Ynoa is currently on Atlanta's 60-day injured list, but he'll almost certainly get optioned to Gwinnett once he completes his rehab assignment.

The Marlins outrighted Bermudez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Bermudez is no longer on the team's 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as a depth arm. The lefty has been used primarily as a starter at Jacksonville, so he could get stretched back out after most recently working out of the bullpen with the big club.

Fraley went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over Houston.

Fraley, who has hits in both games since coming off the injured list Sunday, logged his 17th steal of the season in the fifth inning and scored on a Santiago Espinal single. The platoon outfielder seeks a second consecutive 20-steal season.

Steer went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the Astros.

Steer logged his 23rd steal of the season as part of a double steal in the eighth inning. He's batting just .216 in the second half, but Steer's utility keeps him in the starting lineup. He's started at five different positions and batted at seven different spots in the order.

Smith started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Smith got the start in left with Lourdes Gurriel (calf) unavailable. The Diamondbacks plan to have Gurriel undergo an MRI when one can be arranged, which could provide a clearer picture for his return to action. In the meantime, the Diamondbacks have Smith available for right-handers, Randal Grichuk for lefties and the switch-hitting Jorge Barrosa for pitchers of either hand.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Carroll's white-hot bat continued Monday, as the outfielder extended a hit streak to 12 games. He's 17-for-48 (.354) with nine extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.

Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday in a 5-3 victory versus the Cubs.

Pittsburgh was shut out by Jameson Taillon through seven frames before Reynolds turned the tide of the contest in the eighth with a three-run homer off reliever Jorge Lopez to knot the score. The long ball was his 21st of the season, moving him to within five homers of reaching the career-high mark of 27 he set in 2022. Reynolds has gone deep three times in his past seven games and is batting .333 (9-for-27) with six RBI, five walks and two stolen bases over that span.

Taillon allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three batters over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday.

Taillon cruised through his seven frames, needing a modest 89 pitches and yielding just four baserunners (on three singles, an error and a walk). The right-hander looked like he would emerge with a victory when he turned the game over to the bullpen with a 3-0 lead, but Jorge Lopez was tagged for four runs in the eighth to turn the tide of the contest. Nonetheless, this was a nice bounce-back for Taillon after he surrendered at least four runs in each of his previous four starts and posted a 6.75 ERA along with a 1.41 WHIP during that stretch.

Santana earned a save against the Cubs on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Pittsburgh scored five runs across the eighth and ninth frames to build a two-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth. With David Bednar recently demoted from the closer role and Aroldis Chapman handling the eighth inning, Santana was given the chance to close things out, and he succeeded by retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. Bednar's demotion could be only temporary, but while he's handling lower-leverage situations Santana and Chapman appear to be the favorites to get any save chances that come along.

Jones allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.

Jones was tagged for five runs over four innings against the Cubs in his return from a lengthy stay on the injured list last Tuesday, but he was much better in a rematch against Chicago on Monday. The rookie right-hander threw 60 of 87 pitches for strikes and walked just one batter, but a solo homer by Dansby Swanson (who also homered against Jones in his previous outing) and a two-run triple by Ian Happ put him in line for the loss until Pittsburgh's offense came to life in the eighth inning. Jones wasn't quite as effective as he was early in the campaign when he posted a 3.05 ERA and averaged nearly seven punchouts per game over his first 10 outings, but he did manage his 10th quality start of the season while providing optimism that he can finish off what has been a promising rookie campaign on a high note.
