Fried was pulled from Monday's game against the Mets due to cramping in his left hand.

This is positive news for Atlanta, as one of their top hurlers managed to avoid a significant injury. The team will continue to evaluate the lefty over the next few days to determine whether he'll be able to make his next scheduled start. Before departing Monday's start, Fried worked six innings and gave up a run on five hits and two walks while striking out eight.

Webb left Monday's game against the Reds due to shoulder soreness, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports. He picked up the win and allowed six hits and one walk while striking out four over six scoreless innings prior to exiting.

Manager Gabe Kapler mentioned after the game that Webb didn't come back out for the seventh inning due to the shoulder issue. The plan is to get him some treatment, and the team will continue to evaluate him over the next few days. Webb will be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Fried left Monday's game against the Mets due to an undisclosed injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. He allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings prior to suffering the injury.

Fried gave up a leadoff double to begin the top of the seventh inning, which led to a visit from Atlanta's team trainer and his removal from the contest. The lefty didn't appear to be in a great deal of pain or discomfort as he exited, but details of the issue have yet to be disclosed.

Walker was removed from Monday's start against Atlanta due to left side tightness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. He won't factor into the decision after allowing one hit and striking out two across three scoreless innings.

Walker was cruising along before appearing to be in some kind of discomfort, resulting in his removal. The severity of the injury is not known at this point.

Strasburg (shoulder) will throw approximately 55 pitches in an extended bullpen session Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Strasburg threw 75 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, and manager Dave Martinez said that Tuesday's throwing session could help the team determine whether the right-hander will be able to start Friday against the Orioles. Strasburg felt good after his rehab outing Sunday and should take Erick Fedde's place in the rotation once he's cleared to return.

Syndergaard (elbow) will make his first rehab appearance with Low-A St. Lucie on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Syndergaard has been recovering from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in March of 2020, and the start of his rehab assignment marks a big step in his recovery. The right-hander will likely require several rehab appearances to build back up to a full workload, but he remains on track to return to the major-league roster in mid-June. The team also revealed that Syndergaard will remain at Low-A until the end of May, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.

Lugo (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Lugo has been on the injured list since the start of the season. He was already tracking toward a late-May return, so his shift to the 60-day IL doesn't necessarily mean that he's experienced a setback. The right-hander will now be out until at least early June, and his removal from the 40-man roster will make room for outfielder Johneshwy Fargas, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move. Lugo will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

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.
