Gsellman (lat) landed on the injured list as expected Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The move was made retroactive to Sunday, meaning he'll be eligible to return next Wednesday. It's not yet clear if that's at all possible, however, with the Mets yet to specify how serious the strain is or when he's expected to return. Jeff McNeil (hamstring) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Pagan was credited with the hold against Cincinnati on Sunday despite allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over one inning.

Pagan entered in the eighth inning with the Padres protecting a 3-0 lead. He was tagged for a single and a double and walked one batter, leading to two Reds runs. The right-hander made it out of the inning with San Diego's lead down to one, and Mark Melancon closed out the contest in the ninth to secure the victory. Pagan has struggled in June, posting a 6.23 ERA across 8.2 innings. He remains one of the team's top options in high-leverage situations, however.

Cabrera, who fired a perfect sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts in the second game of a doubleheader against Atlanta on Sunday, now has three straight scoreless appearances.

The left-hander had a rare stumble June 11 against the Cubs in which he surrendered a pair of earned runs over one-third of an inning to take his second loss, but he's rounded right back into form. Cabrera has given up just one hit over the three innings covering his last three appearances, posting a 5:0 K:BB along the way.

Uceta pitched 1.2 innings against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three.

Uceta was called up to provide bullpen depth earlier in the day and was given a chance to pitch in the seventh inning during what looked to be an easy Dodgers victory. The right-hander did fine in his initial frame, but he allowed Arizona to get back into the contest with a big eighth inning. Uceta walked two and allowed three singles, departing with the Diamondbacks having put up three runs against him. Victor Gonzalez subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score, and Los Angeles barely held on for a 9-8 win. The poor outing pushed Uceta's season ERA to 6.28, though he has registered a solid 10.0 K/9.

Misiewicz owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 13.5 K/9 and one hold across the eight innings covering his eight June appearances.

The southpaw has allowed a total of three earned runs over two outings during that span, but he's otherwise proven reliable while consistently whittling down his ERA. Misiewicz also continues to prove very versatile, as he's worked a pair of two-inning appearances during that span in addition to much shorter assignments.

Rodriguez was optioned to Double-A Rocket City on Sunday.

Rodriguez has never played a game at the Double-A level, as he topped out at High-A in 2019 before joining the active roster at the start of this season. The young righty's 3.66 ERA in 19.2 innings of relief this season remains strong, but he's struggled since returning from a shoulder injury in early June, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits over four innings of work. He'll get some time to sort things out for now but could certainly be back in the big leagues this season, potentially as a starter should the Angels elect to stretch him out in the minors.

Cleavinger (2-3) earned the win over Arizona on Sunday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings and allowing one hit while striking out one.

Starter Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) was effective but held to only 46 pitches over 3.2 innings in the outing, giving Cleavinger the opportunity to scoop up the win after entering with the Dodgers ahead 7-1. He threw 13 of 18 pitches for strikes and held the Diamondbacks to a harmless single. Cleavinger has pitched primarily in low-leverage situation this season, but he has been effective, posting a 3.24 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB across 8.1 frames.

The Mets plan to place Gsellman on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lat injury, Andy Martino of SportsNet New York reports.

Gsellman presumably picked up the injury coming out of his most recent relief appearance in Washington on Saturday, when he gave up a run on three hits over two innings. New York will likely officially announce Gsellman's move to the IL shortly before the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

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

Barria spent two days on the big-league roster but didn't enter a game. Jose Quintana (shoulder) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Kittredge will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher in front of bulk reliever Ryan Yarbrough in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Kittredge has previously worked on an opener on two occasions, covering 1.2 innings April 18 against the Yankees and two innings May 5 against the Angels. He'll likely be in line for a similar workload Tuesday before giving way to Yarbrough.
