Marquez was removed from Monday's start against the Cardinals due to an apparent forearm injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. He allowed two runs on three hits and struck out four over 5.0 innings prior to exiting.

Marquez was examined by the team trainers at the start of the sixth inning prior to leaving the contest. The extent of the injury is unclear, so he'll be considered day-to-day until the team has time to evaluate him further.

Pepiot (oblique) has not yet been cleared to throw, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The team noted nearly one week ago that Pepiot could get the green light to pick up a baseball within the next week, but he's yet to be cleared. Assuming he'll need to toss a few bullpen sessions and be sent out on a rehab assignment, it's looking more likely that the right-hander won't be activated from the 15-day IL until May.

Gonsolin (ankle) isn't expected to make a return until sometime in May, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Gonsolin has been throwing bullpen sessions while traveling with the team, but his skipper's latest update isn't exactly what fantasy managers want to hear. Per Harris, the Dodgers expect it to be another 2-to-3 weeks until Gonsolin is cleared to go out on a rehab assignment, and he'll likely need at least a few appearances in the minors before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Hendricks (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Monday and is scheduled to throw live batting practice Friday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Hendricks continues to progress in his recovery from a right shoulder strain. He should be nearing game action if all goes well during his live BP session Friday, though he'll likely need at least a few rehab appearances before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Wright (shoulder) remains on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta hasn't yet confirmed that Wright will take the hill Tuesday, but he's back with the big club after covering six innings and striking out six while allowing five earned runs in his rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett last Wednesday. Though Atlanta might have wanted to see a slightly better result from Wright in the rehab outing, his right shoulder seems to have checked out fine following the start, and perhaps most importantly, he was able to stretch out to 84 pitches. Even if he's still a bit rusty coming off the injury, Wright's addition should be a welcome one for an Atlanta rotation that's without ace Max Fried (hamstring) and has gotten poor results overall from young arms Dylan Dodd and Jared Shuster thus far.

Musgrove (toe) was given a cortisone shot in his right shoulder after falling on the area in the midst of a fielding play during his rehab start last week, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Musgrove is feeling better and could play catch as soon as Tuesday, but it's touch-and-go based on how he progresses. The right-hander had already been slated to make one more rehab start before joining the Padres' rotation and now his timetable will be pushed back a bit. Musgrove initially went on the injured list with a fractured toe suffered back in late February during a weight room mishap.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Fried (hamstring) has resumed throwing off a mound without issue, but the lefty hasn't yet put full stress on his leg while fielding, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Taking part in fielding drills at full speed would seem to be the last step before Fried is cleared for a rehab assignment, though it's unclear when that might happen. Fried is probably looking at a late-April return from the 15-day injured list at this point.

Painter (elbow) played catch Monday for the first time since March 1, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

It's been a month since Painter was revealed to have been diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, and he's at the beginning stages of what will be a slow-paced throwing program. The hope remains that the top prospect will contribute at the major-league level at some point this season, but it will be a while before a timetable on his return to game action becomes clearer.

High-A Eugene placed Bednar (back) on its 7-day injured list Thursday.

Bednar remains at extended spring training to begin the minor-league season while he continues to recover from the back injury that cropped up while he was pitching in the Arizona Fall League in October. The right-hander hasn't been shut down from throwing, so he shouldn't be in store for an especially lengthy stay on the shelf to begin the campaign.

Roupp is building up his arm strength in extended spring training, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

This usually means the player dealt with an injury in camp or showed up to camp with an injury. It's unclear if Roupp will need weeks or months before he is ready to head to one of the Giants' upper-level affiliates. The 6-foot-2 righty leaned heavily on his dominant breaking ball last year and logged a 2.31 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 69:16 K:BB and 56 percent groundball rate in 50.2 innings over his final 10 starts across High-A and Double-A.
