Coulombe (hip) could return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Coulombe has been out with a left hip impingement, but it doesn't seem as though the injury is particularly serious. He made one rehab appearance Sunday and will make another Tuesday, at which point he'll hopefully be cleared to rejoin the active roster.

Reyes will undergo shoulder surgery at the end of May, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Reyes has been dealing with shoulder issues since at least mid-March, and while he resumed throwing in late April he was shut down again in mid-May. The surgery is expected to end his 2022 campaign, though the Cardinals have stopped short of officially ruling him out for the year.

Kelley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Kelley has been dominant in Nashville this season, as he's posted a 0.69 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 13 innings over 13 relief appearances. He tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen for Milwaukee last week and will rejoin the big-league club after Josh Hader was placed on the family medical emergency list Monday.

Hader was placed on the family medical emergency list Monday.

Players may spend between three and seven days on the list, which is also referred to as the bereavement list. That means Hader won't be the man on the mound for any save chances the Brewers produce the next three days in San Diego, and he could also miss some or all of the following series in St. Louis. Devin Williams is the top candidate for saves in his absence.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Kranick may be shut down for "a little bit of time" with a right forearm/elbow injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Since being optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis following his three-inning relief appearance with Pittsburgh on May 11, Kranick hasn't pitched for the Pirates' top affiliate. He was placed on Indianapolis' 7-day injured list Tuesday, with Cherington later revealing the nature of Kranick's injury. The 24-year-old will most likely miss several weeks while recovering from the arm issue.

Loaisiga (1-2) took the loss against the White Sox in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out one.

Starters Luis Severino and Michael Kopech dueled through seven scoreless innings before Loaisiga was brought in to handle the eighth. The right-hander was unable to get out of the frame, allowing four singles that led to four runs. Loaisiga was outstanding out of the bullpen for the Yankees last season, but he has struggled in 2022, posting a 7.02 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 5.4 BB/9 over 16.2 innings.

Reyes is expected to require surgery on his right shoulder to repair a damaged labrum, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Reyes was shut down from throwing in mid-May after he experienced renewed shoulder soreness, and he'll meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Monday before a final decision is made on surgery. It's not yet clear whether a potential surgery would be a season-ending procedure, but it seems like a safe bet that he would at least be unavailable until late in the 2022 campaign. The shoulder issue is yet another big hit for a pitcher who had been a top-flight prospect back in 2016 before injuries derailed his long-term outlook and forced a full-time conversion to the bullpen.

Swanson (elbow) continued to throw over the last several days without any setbacks, leaving him on track to return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday, Craig Forde of MLB.com reports.

Manager Scott Servais continues to hear nothing but good things about Swanson's rehab process. The 28-year-old, who'd produced three holds, a 21:1 K:BB, a 1.29 ERA and an 0.79 WHIP through his first 13 appearances of the season, would naturally be a welcome reinforcement for a Mariners bullpen that's seen a couple of its members struggle with consistency.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Chapman underwent an MRI on his left Achilles' tendon, which returned negative for structural damage but revealed tendinitis, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Though the Yankees aren't yet deactivating Chapman ahead of Monday's series opener with the Orioles, Boone said a stint on the 10-day injured list is "still very much in play" for the fireballing reliever, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. With that in mind, enterprising fantasy managers may want to look to pick up Clay Holmes in leagues where he's available, as the 29-year-old already snagged saves in his last two appearances while Chapman had been faltering of late before sustaining the injury. Even if Chapman ends up avoiding the IL, the Yankees are expected to stay away from him for at least the next couple of days to give his Achilles time to heal.

Munoz (1-2) took the loss and was charged with a blown save in an extra-inning defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.

Charged with protecting a just-forged 4-3 lead in the bottom of the 10th inning, Munoz ran into immediate trouble by allowing the first four hitters he faced to reach base before eventually yielding a 419-foot, game-winning grand slam to Franchy Cordero. The hard-throwing right-hander's rough outing was his first serious stumble of 2022, as he'd given up five earned runs over 12.2 innings all season prior to Sunday.
