Seabold was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right forearm extensor strain.

Seabold left his spot start Friday against the Yankees with the injury, which turned out to be serious enough to send him to the injured list. He'll be out until after the All-Star break at a minimum, with a longer absence seemingly quite possible.

Sanchez will pitch behind opener Nick Nelson during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Sanchez made his second start of the season Tuesday against the Nationals and struck out two in five scoreless innings. The southpaw will work as a bulk reliever Sunday but will attempt to maintain his momentum from Tuesday's start.

Suarez (back) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Suarez has been on the 15-day injured list since late June due to a low back spasm, but interim manager Rob Thomson recently said that there's an "outside chance" that the southpaw will rejoin the rotation prior to the All-Star break. A better idea of Suarez's status will likely come into focus based on how he feels after Sunday's bullpen.

Eflin (knee) won't rejoin the Phillies' rotation until after the All-Star break, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Eflin initially hoped that he'd be able to return from the injured list after missing the minimum of 15 days, but the Phillies are choosing to take a more cautious approach to prevent against a more significant injury. He received a cortisone injection June 28 and will throw a bullpen session Sunday. Interim manager Rob Thomson isn't sure whether the right-hander will be cleared to return for the Phillies' first turn through the rotation following the All-Star break, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action sometime in late July.

Montas (shoulder) played catch Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Montas underwent an MRI on Tuesday that revealed no structural damage to his right shoulder, and he'll remain on the active roster rather than being placed on the injured list. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but manager Mark Kotsay hopes that the right-hander will be able to make a start prior to the All-Star break.

German (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

German has made three rehab starts over the last few weeks and has posted a 0.87 ERA and 0.48 WHIP in 10.1 innings with Double-A Somerset during that time. He'll start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and it's possible that he'll be activated after one or two more appearances in the minors.

Lynch (finger) is expected to be reinstated from the injured list to start one of the two games during Monday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Lynch began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday and allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two in three innings. The southpaw has been on the IL since June 22 but should be able to return after spending just over the minimum of 15 days on the shelf.

Martin is expected to start in one of the two games during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Martin was sent to Triple-A Charlotte on June 22 and has posted a 2.84 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 12.2 innings over three minor-league appearances since then. The right-hander last pitched Wednesday, so he should be fully rested if he's ultimately called up to start during Tuesday's twin bill.

Perez struck out 10 without walking any over six one-run, two-hit innings for Double-A Pensacola on Thursday.

It's the second time in 13 starts for Pensacola the 19-year-old phenom has fanned double-digit batters, while it's also the second time this year he's completed six frames. Perez has compiled a masterful 3.05 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 87:14 K:BB through 62 innings in his first exposure to Double-A, and while the Marlins won't want to push him too aggressively given his age, it seems almost certain he'll get a promotion to Triple-A before the campaign is over -- and a big-league debut before he turns 20 next April could even be in the cards.

DeGrom (shoulder) tossed 36 pitches over three innings in Friday's rehab start with Single-A St. Lucie, striking out six batters, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander topped out at 101 mph with his fastball as he thoroughly overmatched Florida State League batters. "It felt really good, was just happy to get out there and get three complete innings," deGrom said afterward. The upcoming minor-league All-Star breaks complicate the timetable for his return to the Mets' rotation, but deGrom appears to be on track to rejoin the club before July is over.
