Taillon (elbow) was shifted to the 60-day injured list Monday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The right-hander was placed on the 60-day injured list to make room for Jake Elmore on the 40-man roster. Taillon won't be eligible to return until the beginning of July following this latest move.

The Mets are hopeful Matz (forearm) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list to make a start in Miami during the upcoming weekend, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Matz had previously been eyeing Thursday's game against the Nationals for his return from the IL, but he'll get some additional time to heal up after the Mets' series finale Sunday with the Marlins was postponed due to inclement weather in New York. The cancellation will allow the team to push each member of the rotation back two days in the schedule, setting Matz up for a potential return in South Florida. Matz, who is dealing with a nerve issue in his left forearm, completed a bullpen session over the weekend without any reported problems.

Syndergaard is scheduled to make his next start on the road Tuesday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Syndergaard had been in line to start Sunday in the Mets' series finale with the Marlins, but that never materialized after the contest was postponed due to inclement weather. The Mets will push everyone in their rotation back two days after the cancellation, lining Syndergaard up for a two-start week. His second turn is expected to come next Sunday in Miami.

Irvin will make his second career start Friday against the Rockies, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Irvin looked quite good in his MLB debut, scattering five hits over seven innings and allowing just one run Sunday against the Royals. He'll get at least one more chance, though Vince Velasquez isn't supposed to miss much more time with his forearm injury and Nick Pivetta is turning things around with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so he may have to pitch quite well to stick around in the rotation past Friday's outing.

Wright was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Wright spent five days on the big-league roster but did not get into a game. He could continue to bounce between Atlanta and Gwinnett for much of the season until a regular role opens up at the big-league level.

Buehler struck out seven over seven scoreless frames but came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals. He scattered four hits and one walk over the 97-pitch outing.

Buehler's delayed start to spring training may have negatively impacted him earlier in the regular season, but the young righty appears to have since rediscovered the ace-like form he flashed for much of 2018. He's posted a 2.59 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB in 31.1 innings over his last five starts, with Saturday's outing representing his best one yet. Buehler exited the contest with a 2-0 lead, but an implosion from the Los Angeles bullpen prevented him from notching his fifth win. He'll look to keep his perfect record intact when he takes on the Reds in Cincinnati next weekend.

Anderson hasn't pitched at Triple-A Albuquerque since being demoted May 4 and will head to Chicago this week to receive a medical opinion on his injured left knee, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Before getting sent to the minors, Anderson spent two weeks on the injured list after experiencing inflammation in his left knee. Though Anderson went on to make three underwhelming starts with the Rockies, it appears the knee has still been a source of discomfort for the lefty. Anderson, who previously required arthroscopic surgery on the knee in 2017, will have a specialist assess his condition and determine the best treatment method for the persistent injury.

Martinez (shoulder) worked 1.2 scoreless innings in Triple-A Memphis' win over Nashville on Sunday, allowing two walks and recording three strikeouts.

The right-hander continues to largely cruise through his minor-league outings, with Sunday's serving as his longest thus far. Martinez worked up to 32 pitches Sunday, and he's slated to be back on the hill Wednesday for Double-A Springfield, when he's expected to exceed the 30-pitch mark once again.

Peralta will start Monday's game against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peralta threw the ball well his last time out as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen, tossing five scoreless frames against Washington. The 22-year-old has struggled to get through the first inning at times throughout his young career, but skipper Craig Counsell will give him another shot in the series opener.

Fried (5-2) picked up the win after allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Fried cruised through three scoreless innings before surrendering three runs in the bottom of the fourth, but he exited the contest with his squad up by a run. The 25-year-old's status was up in the air entering the day after taking a comebacker off his hand in his last start, but he proved his health by turning in a solid outing. The lefty owns a 3.25 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 41:9 K:BB over 44.1 innings this season.
