Morejon (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

The move has no effect on Morejon's return timeline, as he's already been ruled out for the year with a shoulder impingement. It clears a 40-man roster space for Garrett Richards' return from Tommy John surgery.

Gsellman (triceps) threw a bullpen session Sunday and will throw another sometime over the next few days, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Gsellman has felt strong throughout his rehab so far, and according to Puma, he's "very" optimistic that he'll be able to come back before the season concludes. The right-hander was placed on the injured list in mid-August with a partially torn right triceps.

Hernandez allowed one run on three hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out nine in the loss to the Giants. He did not factor in the decision.

Hernandez coughed up a solo homer to Mauricio Dubon in the third inning but still turned in a strong outing and set a new career high with his nine strikeouts. The 24-year-old righty would've been tagged with an unfortunate loss if his team didn't tie things up in the seventh inning after he had already been removed. Hernandez will look to keep it rolling Saturday at home against Washington.

Smith walked one batter and struck out one in a scoreless inning Sunday, earning the save over Miami.

Smith hadn't appeared in a game since Sep. 6 due to some back tightness but came back strong Sunday with a scoreless frame. He's now 33-for-37 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA in 2019.

Hader gave up two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two through one inning to record his 33rd save in a 7-6 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

After getting a groundout to start the inning, a walk and a two-run home run put Hader on the ropes, but he quickly recovered to strike out the next two hitters to nail down his 33rd save. The left-hander has a 2.70 ERA with 129 strikeouts through 56 appearances this season.

Iglesias pitched a perfect ninth inning while striking out two batters to earn the save against Arizona on Sunday.

Iglesias faced little resistance from the Diamondbacks, needing only 13 pitches, eight of which were strikes, to retire the side in order. After a pair of rough outings to end August, the 29-year-old has been nearly unhittable in September, allowing one base knock and no runs in six innings while striking out eight batters. He has successfully converted 31 of 36 save opportunities this season.

Yamamoto (forearm) is scheduled to make an outing in the instructional league Monday and could rejoin the Marlins as early as next weekend, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Yamamoto was given a slight chance to return this season just last week, but his prospects appear to have improved significantly over the last few days. Manager Don Mattingly indicated the young right-hander may not be used as a traditional starter upon his return in an effort to limit his innings with the season in its closing stages.

Kimbrel (elbow) had no issues while throwing a 20-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Kimbrel could advance to facing hitters in a simulated game mid-week assuming no issues crop up in the next couple days. There's no official timetable for the 30-year-old's return from the 10-day injured list, but a simulated game could be one of the final steps leading up to his activation.

Ginkel retired the side in order, striking out one to earn a hold in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Reds.

Ginkel needed just seven pitches to dispatch the Reds in the eighth inning to earn his seventh hold in the last 12 outings. During that stretch, the rookie right-hander has allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out 10 over 11.2 innings. Ginkel has been given a steady stream of high-leverage work recently, and he was used Saturday instead of Yoan Lopez, who has been the primary setup man and was available.

Voth allowed one run on four hits with two walks and six strikeouts across 5.2 innings during a no-decision against the Braves on Saturday.

The 27-year-old pitched well again against the Braves, but despite yielding only three runs in 9.2 innings against the NL East champions in his last two starts, Voth settled for a no-decision and a loss. That's been his story in a small sample this season, as he owns a 3.58 ERA but is 1-1. He also has a 1.16 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 32.2 innings across seven appearances. Because of an off day next week, Voth isn't scheduled to start again until Sept. 24 at home against the Phillies.
