Kelly (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

As expected, Kelly will take the mound for Arizona on Sunday for the first time since April. The 35-year-old threw 62 pitches in his lone minor-league start, so he should be under some sort of pitch count during his MLB return. Kelly allowed three runs on six hits and no walks across four innings during the minor-league outing and may need to shake off some rust before recapturing his early 2024 form.

Ryan (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Sunday to discern the severity of his injury and will be placed on the injured list, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Ryan was removed from Saturday's start against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to forearm tightness, and the injury is more significant than initially expected. The 25-year-old has shined in limited playing time for the Dodgers, posting a 1.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, but his impressive rookie campaign will be paused for an uncertain amount of time. Sunday's MRI should give fantasy managers a more accurate timeline for Ryan's absence.

Steele allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Steele posted his second quality start in a row, but he didn't get enough run support while in the game to collect the win. The southpaw has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 43.2 innings across his last seven starts, while a pair of five-run outings has affected those numbers. For the year, Steele is at a 3.16 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB through 114 innings over 19 starts. He's projected to make his next outing at home versus the Blue Jays.

Gallen was removed from his start in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies due to general body cramps, but he doesn't expect to miss time, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury Saturday and was merely experiencing cramping. Despite getting ample run support, the 28-year-old fell short of reaching the five frames he needed to qualify for the win, as he covered 4.1 innings and struck out three batters while yielding one run on five hits and two walks prior to departing. Gallen is tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

The Dodgers removed Ryan from Saturday's game against the Pirates due to right forearm tightness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Dodgers' training staff met Ryan on the mound in the middle of an at-bat in the fifth inning, and Ryan was ultimately removed from the contest due to pain in his right forearm. The 25-year-old threw 4.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and four hits allowed before exiting. Ryan should undergo further testing in the coming days, at which point the severity of the injury should be more clear.

Gallen was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies with a suspected groin injury, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

The Diamondbacks' training staff came out midway through the fifth inning, and, after a short discussion, opted to remove Gallen from the contest. Gallen gave up his lone run of the start immediately before exiting, with Bryce Harper driving in Kyle Schwarber on a groundout. Gallen's final stat line included one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts across 4.1 innings. Gallen should undergo further testing Saturday night, and more information on his status should be provided in the coming days.

Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday and then rejoin the Dodgers to throw live batting practice later on in the week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Yamamoto has already completed multiple side sessions, and assuming all goes well during Tuesday's workout, he'll move on to the next phase of his rehab program by facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still a week or more away from beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's likely to require multiple outings on the farm to build up his pitch count and get stretched back out for starting duty. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Atlanta returned Ynoa (elbow) from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to right shoulder tightness, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Ynoa underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2022 and pitched during spring training before starting the season at Triple-A Gwinnett. However, he was moved back on the injured list with elbow inflammation in late April and had completed five rehab outings before being returned Saturday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear how severe the setback will be, but Ynoa had thrown at least three innings in three consecutive minor-league outings and seemed close to being activated. In those three appearances, Ynoa allowed just one run with eight strikeouts across 9.2 innings .

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Buehler (hip) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Buehler initially looked to be tracking toward a return from the IL for Thursday's series finale with the Brewers, but he'll instead face Milwaukee a day earlier for what will be his first MLB outing since June 18. The right-hander made three rehab starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City, and after giving up eight runs in 7.1 innings between his first two starts, he appeared to right the ship in his final outing in the Pacific Coast League on Thursday. Buehler built up to 85 pitches Thursday, covering 5.1 innings and striking out five while allowing one hit and three walks. Before going on the injured list with right hip inflammation, the 29-year-old logged a 5.84 ERA with a 31:10 K:BB across 37 innings over his eight starts.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Saturday that Quantrill is dealing with general forearm soreness and will not start Monday's game against Arizona as previously planned, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The Rockies had already pushed back Quantrill's start from Saturday to Monday, but it's now unknown when he'll make his next start. Quantrill's forearm soreness stems from his most recent outing Aug. 4, when he allowed three runs across 4.1 innings against the Padres. The right-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, the Rockies don't seem to think that Quantrill will need to go on the injured list.
