Martin was scheduled to start for Triple-A Reno on Monday but was not in the lineup for Aces, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

A source indicated Martin is healthy, which suggests the Diamondbacks plan to have him start a game this week or are keeping that option open. Arizona has not declared a starter for Tuesday or Wednesday. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.86 ERA and 14:6 K:BB in 9.2 innings across two starts for Reno.

Jansen recorded his eighth save of the season Monday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one hit and one walk with no strikeouts across 1.1 innings.

Jansen entered the game to record the final out of the eighth inning following a groundout of Domingo Leyba, and while things got complicated in the ninth when he had runners on first and second with one out, he closed things out with a double play. Jansen has gone 8-for-10 in save opportunities this season.

Alzolay (2-3) allowed three runs on five hits across five innings to record the win Monday against the Nationals. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.

Alzolay wasn't particularly sharp, allowing home runs to Trea Turner and former teammate Kyle Schwarber, but he was still able to outduel Jon Lester. It was Lester's offseason departure that created one of several openings in the Chicago rotation, and the 26-year-old Alzolay has helped fill the void. He now has a 4.62 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 39 strikeouts across seven starts (37 innings). Alzolay will look to build on the win his next time out Saturday against St. Louis.

Diaz picked up the save after allowing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Braves.

Diaz issued a walk to Freddie Freeman with one out in the ninth inning, but he was able to quickly retire the next two batters to nail down the save. The right-hander is a perfect 6-for-6 in save situations this season despite an unimpressive 3.86 ERA across 16.1 innings.

Rogers picked up the save after allowing a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Reds.

Rogers gave up a single to begin the frame, but he induced a ground ball for a double play and retired the final batter on a flyout to center field. The right-hander has been locked in of late, piecing together 10 consecutive scoreless outings, giving up five hits and fanning three over that stretch (10 innings). Rogers was called on to get his second save in as many days after Jake McGee blew a save and took a loss in his two most recent outings.

White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

White has appeared in just four games in the month of May, surrendering eight runs (one earned) while fanning three over four innings of relief work. He'll head to the minors to make room for the activation of David Price (hamstring) off the injured list.

Cabrera, who fired 1.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and a walk while recording two strikeouts in a loss to the Padres on Sunday, now has five consecutive scoreless appearances spanning 6.2 innings.

The left-hander has whittled his ERA and WHIP down to 2.21 and 1.08, respectively, in the process and is also now up to six holds for the season. Cabrera has also already matched 2020's tally of 19 appearances and projects to continue in a high-volume later-inning role, making him a valuable commodity in formats that count holds.

Vesia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Vesia made three relief appearances during his stint in the majors and allowed five runs (three earned) on a hit and five walks while striking out seven in four innings. His removal from the major-league roster was part of a transaction to make room for Albert Pujols and Yoshi Tsutsugo.

Rolison was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rolison began the minor-league season with Double-A Hartford and made enough progress with his changeup and delivery to receive a promotion early in the year. The left-hander made three starts for Double-A Hartford this year and posted a 3.07 ERA, 20:2 K:BB and 0.89 WHIP in 14.2 innings. Rolison is one of Colorado's top pitching prospects and could make his major-league debut at some point in 2021.

Davidson will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Davidson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, and the team later revealed that Huascar Ynoa will miss at least two months after he broke his hand Sunday. As a result, Davidson will take the mound for Tuesday's matchup, while the rest of Atlanta's starters will get an extra day of rest. Bryse Wilson and Kyle Wright could also be options to fill in as starters in the coming months, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
