Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yarbrough will be placed on the paternity list in the near future, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Yarbrough started Sunday's game against the Nationals and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five in four innings. However, he'll now be away from the team for at least three days following the birth of his child. The Dodgers are expected to make the move official Monday and plan to call up Gavin Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding transaction.

Ingram was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Ingram was called up by the Halos on Sept. 1 and allowed one run over two innings during his brief time with the big club. He'll now return to Salt Lake, where he's posted a 3.49 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 28.1 frames.

Joyce (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The right-hander has been sidelined since early June by an elbow injury, and he's been cleared to rejoin the Halos after a two-game rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire. Joyce is one of the organization's top prospects and allowed two earned runs with a 5:4 K:BB over four frames in his first taste of the big leagues before going down with the injury.

De Jesus was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 26-year-old had his contract selected by Miami on Friday and made his debut Saturday in Philadelphia, allowing three earned runs over 4.1 innings. De Jesus will head back to Jacksonville while Daniel Castano claims the open roster spot.

Mantiply will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old will make his third start of the season as the Diamondbacks decided to go with an opener ahead of expected primary pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who was originally scheduled to start the contest. Mantiply has covered as much as three frames in an appearance this season, but he's likely to pitch only an inning or two Sunday.

The Dodgers selected Suero's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Suero lost his 40-man roster spot back in May, but he remained with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed and will get another look in the Los Angeles bullpen as Gus Varland (knee) heads to the 15-day injured list.

The Dodgers placed Varland on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right knee inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Varland will be sidelined for at least the next couple of weeks. He's worked to a 3.09 ERA and 14:8 K:BB in 11.2 major-league innings this season with Los Angeles.

Munoz said he's been battling some minor left hip tightness but threw without issue ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Munoz will probably be unavailable for the Mariners' series finale against the Rays on Sunday at Tropicana Field, but there doesn't seem to be much concern that this is going to become a long-term issue. Matt Brash is the best bet for fill-in closer duties, though Munoz could be right back in action Monday versus the Angels.

Erceg (3-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing an earned run on three walks over two-thirds of an inning.

Erceg was tasked with preserving a 2-2 tie when he entered in the seventh inning. He got his frame off to an encouraging start by retiring the daunting duo of Marcus Semien and Corey Seager. However, the right-hander went on to issue three consecutive walks and was charged with what would eventually prove to be the game-winning run after Robbie Grossman crossed the plate on a Francisco Perez wild pitch later in the inning. Erceg's stumble snapped a streak of seven straight scoreless appearances, and the outing marked his eighth appearance this season with multiple walks.

Manager Scott Servais said Munoz is dealing with "a little something" and is likely unavailable Sunday at Tampa Bay, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

"Am I concerned? No," said Servais. "Would I like to have him available today? Yes." Matt Brash hasn't pitched since Thursday and could act as the fill-in closer for the Mariners while Munoz grabs some rest.
