Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen (shoulder) threw 30 pitches off a mound Monday and looked "pretty dang good," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts said in late June the veteran right-hander was weeks away from resuming mound work, but the reliever apparently made significant progress over the past 10 days. Treinen still needs significant time to build up his arm to game readiness, so he may not be back until August.

Pallante (3-3) took the loss during Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, allowing seven runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts and zero walks in 3.2 innings.

Pallante had his first rough outing as a starter, permitting five runs in the first and another two in the fourth before pulled. The 23-year-old tossed 66 of 96 pitches for strikes, with eight of the swinging variety and a healthy five strikeouts -- tying his season high. In six starts, Pallante has posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 31.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to start again this weekend against Philadelphia.

Kimbrel (back) is undergoing a CT scan Tuesday and depending on the results could be placed on the injured list, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

The veteran right-hander had X-rays come back negative after being struck in the back by a line drive Sunday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on the injured list. Blake Treinen (shoulder) and Daniel Hudson (knee) are on the injured list, which should leave Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol and Yency Almonte to compete for save chances should Kimbrel be forced to miss any time.

White was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Rockies, but he still appears likely to remain in the rotation this week, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Ryan Pepiot was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to pick up the start Tuesday, but his addition doesn't appear to be the result of an injury or role change to any of the other five members of the rotation. Stephen notes that Tuesday marks the 15th game in a stretch of 20 contests in as many days for the Dodgers, so manager Dave Roberts may simply be looking to extend White and the other four members of the rotation an extra day of rest amid the busy schedule. Assuming that's the case, White should still be on track to pick up a home start against the Rockies in Wednesday's series finale.

Gilbert was recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday versus the Giants.

The Diamondbacks are in need of an extra starter with Zach Davies (shoulder) on the injured list, and Gilbert will receive the call to start Tuesday. The left-hander has struggled through four big-league outings this year with a 7.88 ERA across 16 innings, but a strong showing against San Francisco could earn him another turn through the rotation.

Yates (elbow) continues throwing at Atlanta's spring training complex, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It has been nearly two months since Yates resumed throwing, but Atlanta is not in any hurry to rush him back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in March of 2021. The expectation remains that he will be ready to rejoin Atlanta at some point in August.

Bender (back) resumed playing catch from 60 feet Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bender had been throwing bullpen sessions as recently as mid-June, but he appears to have regressed in his recovery from the back injury at some point over the past three weeks. Though the right-hander is at least throwing again in some capacity, he still has several more hurdles to clear before the Marlins will entertain bringing him back from the 15-day injured list. Bender doesn't look on pace to be activated before the All-Star break.

The Reds transferred Santillan (back) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move guarantees Santillan will return from his back strain no sooner than mid-August, though manager David Bell speculated the reliever might not be activated until September, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Prior to landing on the shelf with al lower-back strain, Santillan struggled to the tune of a 5.49 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 19.2 innings, but he could still see high-leverage work once healthy.

The Reds claimed Gibaut off waivers from the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Gibaut finds a new home two days after the Dodgers designated him for assignment. Since he doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, Gibaut will likely fill a low-leverage role out of Cincinnati's bullpen after throwing 1.1 scoreless innings June 27, which was his first and only 2022 big-league appearance to date.

White will not make his scheduled start Tuesday against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear whether the righty is hurt, or if the Dodgers just want to add an arm (Ryan Pepiot) to the rotation to give the rest of the starters an extra day of rest. White has a 3.93 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 34.1 innings this season.
