Myers is dealing with back discomfort and is scheduled to undergo further imaging Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Myers was held out of the lineup in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox in what initially appeared to be a rest day after he had started in each of the last eight games, but a back injury was at the root of his absence. The fact that he's being sent in for imaging suggests that the Marlins have some fear that Myers' back issue may be more than a day-to-day concern. If Myers is forced to miss any action moving forward, Derek Hill (wrist) -- who is nearing a return from the 10-day injured list -- could replace him as the Marlins' primary center fielder.

Walker (1-2) yielded two runs (one earned) on two hits and an intentional walk while taking the loss against Minnesota on Sunday. He recorded two outs in the 10th inning and was charged with a blown save.

Walker entered the bottom of the 10th inning with a 6-5 lead and hit another speed bump. He gave up an RBI groundout to Ryan Jeffers and a walk-off single to DaShawn Keirsey. Walker has blown two of his nine save chances this season and has been tagged with nine earned runs over his last six innings. His ERA has ballooned up to 6.43 across 14 frames this season. Camilo Doval has gone 13.1 innings -- including one Sunday -- since yielding his last earned run.

Megill earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Megill was called upon to protect a 4-2 lead in the ninth and did so on just 13 pitches. Since blowing his first save April 12, the 31-year-old has converted four straight chances while yielding only one run over nine appearances. On the season, he owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 11.1 innings while securing five saves in six opportunities.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

Yelich homered and stole a base in the same game for the second time this week and the fourth time this season. He's struggled overall in May, though, going just 6-for-35 with a 1:13 BB:K in nine games. On the season, he carries a disappointing .208 batting average but continues to provide value with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight steals across 165 plate appearances.

Ramos went 2-for-2 with a home run, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Ramos knocked an RBI sacrifice fly in the first inning before belting a two-run shot in the fourth. He was hit by a pitch in the sixth and hit an RBI single in the eighth. Ramos has gone deep in back-to-back games, which he also did April 30 and May 1. He's up to seven home runs with 19 RBI and an .830 OPS through 40 games.

Yastrzemski went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Minnesota.

Yastrzemski knocked singles in the first, fifth and ninth innings for his first three-hit performance of the year. He added two steals to double his season total. His previous stolen base was in Houston on April 2. Yastrzemski is now slashing .276/.374/.449 with 12 extra-base hits and 20 runs scored through 36 games.

Petty dropped to 0-2 after striking out four and yielding four runs on six hits and six walks over three-plus innings Sunday in the Reds' 6-0 loss to the Astros.

Petty put two runners on base in each of the first two innings but did not allow a run until Yainer Diaz's three-run blast in the third. He put three runners on base without recording an out in the fourth frame, but only one came around to score with Brent Suter on the mound. Petty threw 45 of 90 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs. He's coughed up 13 runs through 5.1 innings to begin his MLB career. Petty is currently lined up to face the Guardians at home next weekend.

Hill (wrist) is set to join the Marlins in Chicago ahead of their three-game series with the Cubs beginning Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Hill went 2-for-13 with two walks and two RBI while striking out seven times during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old opened the season batting .167 with one home run, three RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases over 42 at-bats in 11 games with the Marlins before suffering a left wrist sprain.

Torrens exited Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning after being struck in the groin area by a foul ball, John Sparaco of SI.com reports.

Torrens went 1-for-2 with a triple and an RBI before suffering the injury on an errant foul tip while he was behind the plate in the top of the sixth inning. Francisco Alvarez came off the bench to replace Torrens, who can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Pirates.

Alcantara (2-5) yielded four runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out eight and taking a loss against the White Sox.

Alcantara looked solid for most of the outing, allowing only one run through the first five frames. He was cruising toward his first quality start since April 23 before serving up a three-run blast to Tim Elko. Alcantara has now allowed at least four runs in five of his last six outings and has taken five consecutive losses. He's sporting a brutal 8.10 ERA and 31:21 K:BB through 36.2 frames. Alcantara is projected to face the Rays at home next weekend.
