Ynoa fractured his right hand punching the dugout bench Sunday and will miss at least two months, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Atlanta placed him on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Ynoa was angry after allowing five runs on nine hits in 4.1 innings Sunday against the Brewers, and that anger will now cause him to miss an extended period. He's unlikely to return before the All-Star break. It's a very unfortunate injury for Atlanta, as the 22-year-old had gotten off to an excellent start to the season, riding his 27.9 percent strikeout rate and 6.1 percent walk rate to an ERA which stood at 3.02 even after Sunday's poor performance. Tucker Davidson was recalled and will take his place in the rotation for now.

Freeland (shoulder) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Freeland made his first rehab start Saturday and allowed one run on two hits and a walk in four innings against Triple-A El Paso. He threw 66 pitches during the outing and was charged with an unlucky loss. If his second rehab appearance goes well, the left-hander could make his season debut in the near future.

Gonsolin (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gonsolin has been out since the start of the year with right shoulder inflammation, so he's already served most of the required 60 days. He's nearing a return to action, as he's already thrown one simulated game and is set to throw another this week, but he now can't rejoin the active roster before May 31. The move clears a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster for the team to add new signing Albert Pujols.

Strasburg (shoulder) threw 75 pitches over 4.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. He gave up two hits and two walks while striking out six.

The Nats were hoping the right-hander would be able to pitch a full five innings, but Strasburg came out of the game after reaching his targeted pitch count. He's on track to come off the injured list and take the mound Friday against the Orioles, but with Erick Fedde having put together one of the best starts of his career Sunday, Washington may feel less pressure to get Strasburg back into the rotation and instead give him one more rehab outing to get fully stretched out.

Kim (1-1) went 3.1 innings Sunday, allowing four runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks with three strikeouts in a 5-3 loss to San Diego. He took his first loss of the season.

Kim was rolling through three innings but ran into trouble in the fourth after a Manny Machado error and a single with three walks before being removed. He's now allowed a single earned run in each of his last five starts -- St. Louis had won all of his starts before Sunday.

Anderson (2-4) allowed seven runs on eight hits and a walk in 1.1 innings to take the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Anderson's outing Sunday got off a rough start as he gave up home runs to Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette to lead off the game. He didn't fare much better in the second inning, as he allowed six consecutive batters to reach base before he was removed. Anderson now has a 6.96 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 32.1 innings across eight starts in 2021. He lines up to make his next start at home against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Hendricks (3-4) earned the win Sunday against the Tigers after tossing eight innings of one-run ball, giving up eight hits and fanning eight.

Hendricks was coming off a rough stretch and entered this game having allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts, but he bounced back with his best start of the campaign to date. He still owns a 5.27 ERA -- a figure that would rank as a career-worst mark for him -- but this outing should undoubtedly boost his confidence going forward. The right-hander is scheduled to make his next start at the Cardinals.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw three innings in a simulated game during the middle of the upcoming week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gonsolin appears to be progressing as he works his way back to the big-league squad. He reportedly threw a two-inning bullpen last week, and his upcoming three-frame session will be another step in the right direction. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Gonsolin could be activated once he's stretched out to four innings, so his return is on the horizon but not imminent.

Keller (2-5) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight in five innings to take the loss against the Giants on Sunday.

Keller was coming off his worst start of the season after he gave up seven runs in 3.1 innings to take the loss against the Reds on Monday. He fared slightly better in Sunday's outing, but he was still charged with his fifth loss in his first eight starts. Keller has posted a 7.16 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 32.2 innings this season. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road Saturday against Atlanta.

Stroman (3-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Rays after giving up five runs on six hits and a walk while fanning one across six innings.

Stroman won his first three starts of the campaign but has tailed off since then, going 0-4 over his last five outings and giving up four or more runs twice in that span. His ERA has ballooned from 2.01 to 2.72 following Sunday's outing, and it's concerning that he's trending in the wrong direction following a blistering start to the campaign. Stroman's next start is scheduled for next week on the road against the Rays.
