Honeywell allowed one hit across a scoreless inning Monday against the Mets.

Mitch Keller covered eight innings for the Pirates and Honeywell entered the game for the ninth inning with a six-run lead. The outing marked his big-league debut for 2024, and he'll likely serve in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for the time being.

Bryant (oblique/rib) said Monday that he likely won't be activated from the 10-day injured list until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Bryant took full batting practice in Cincinnati on Monday for the first time since landing on the shelf in early June with a left rib contusion and oblique strain. While Bryant suggested that he responded well to taking BP, he'll still need to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment before eventually making his return from the IL. The upcoming All-Star break will limit Bryant's opportunities to stockpile at-bats in game settings, but the 32-year-old still seems to be trending toward being activated before the end of July.

Palacios went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Monday against the Mets.

Palacios joined the big-league roster Thursday and has started three of five games since. Monday's long ball was his first of the season, and he's gone 3-for-10 with five walks and three runs scored since being promoted.

Gordon is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Gordon was lit it up for five runs on eight hits in his MLB debut this past Sunday against the Royals, but the fact that he pitched into the seventh inning without issuing a walk and while striking out four batters offered some signs of encouragement. The 26-year-old righty may not necessarily be in store for a long-term stay with the big club, but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while the Rockies wait for German Marquez (elbow) to complete his rehab assignment before returning from the 60-day injured list.

Lodolo (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday versus the Rockies, Jeff Wallner of the Associated Press reports.

Lodolo will skip a rehab assignment and slide right back into the Reds' rotation after missing the last two weeks of action with a blister on his pitching hand. It's possible the southpaw won't quite be ready for a full workload, but he's a must-start in fantasy, regardless, particularly in such a favorable matchup.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Rockies.

Candelario, who has a modest five-game hit streak (6-for-21), logged his first multi-hit effort in 12 games. He entered Monday batting .156 (7-for-45) over the previous 11 contests.

Rios started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 win over Colorado.

Rios made his first start for the Reds since his contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville. The team is dealing with several absences that have cropped up recently, which required a dip into the minors. Rios was initially brought up when the Reds added Jake Fraley to the family medical emergency list, and the team subsequently placed Nick Martini (thumb) and Stuart Fairchild (back) on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. Once Austin Slater, who was recently acquired from the Giants, joins the team Tuesday, Rios could return to Louisville.

Jameson (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Jameson will be throwing his second bullpen session since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo reiterated earlier comments and ruled out any possibility the right-hander would pitch in 2024. Jameson will continue to build arm strength and prepare himself for a normal offseason.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

Gurriel knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly and stole his fourth bag of the season. He's up to 55 RBI for the season, second on the team to Christian Walker (65). Gurriel's hit well over the last three weeks, compiling a .352 average (25-for-71) and .952 OPS with eight extra-base hits, 13 RBI and 10 runs over the last 17 contests.

Carroll went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

Carroll was part of the Diamondbacks' three-run sixth inning to grab the lead. He singled in a run, stole a base, then came home on a bases-loaded walk. The steal was his team-leading 16th. Carroll has moments where he can impact a game -- he had a leadoff home run Sunday -- but overall the outfielder continues to struggle at the dish. That two-week stretch early in June when Carroll had a .943 OPS has given way to a .521 figure over the last 17 games.
