Suter (shoulder) has begun throwing, MLB.com reports.

Suter, who suffered a partial tear of his teres major muscle July 19, was expected to be shut down from throwing for up to six weeks, but he's way ahead of that schedule. It's unclear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

Marte swatted a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 6-0 lead. It was his third home run of the season and first in 10 games. Marte, who entered the game with a .168 average, batted ninth for the second time in three games and has gradually moved down the order from the fifth spot when he first returned from an 80-game suspension in late June.

Martinez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless 10th inning to pick up the save in a 7-6 extra-inning win over Cleveland.

Ryan Thompson was unable to close out the Guardians in the ninth, setting up a chance for Martinez in the extra frame. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo had used Kevin Ginkel and A.J. Puk prior to Thompson, so the manager went with Martinez, who has a 2.01 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 49.1 innings. Thompson has been shaky in three consecutive save chances, which leaves the Diamondbacks' closer situation in flux.

Thompson (6-3) picked up a blown save and the win in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Guardians. He allowed one run on one hit and struck out one over one inning.

This was Thompson's third save opportunity since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer's role last week, and it's been a mixed bag. He converted one Friday and was bailed out by A.J. Puk on Sunday before Monday's result. Justin Martinez eventually converted the save in the 10th inning. Thompson has allowed a run in all three save chances.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-3 victory versus the Phillies on Monday.

Hernandez gave Los Angeles a lead they didn't relinquish with his two-run blast to left field in the third inning. It was the veteran outfielder's second homer in four games and fifth in 16 contests since winning the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break. Hernandez is slashing .302/.362/.587 with 11 RBI in addition to the five long balls so far in the second half of the campaign.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a home run, two total RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

Ohtani tied the score with a sacrifice fly in the third inning and added a solo homer in the eighth. He also swiped a bag in the fifth frame. This was the seventh time this season that Ohtani has stolen a base and homered in the same game. He's making a serious run at the Triple Crown in the National League, leading the circuit in batting average (.309) and homers (34) while ranking second in RBI (81). He's also tied for second in the NL with 32 stolen bases.

Nola (11-5) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Nola was great outside of the third frame, when he allowed four runs on five hits, including a Teoscar Hernandez two-run homer. That inning was enough to send the right-hander to his first loss since June 29, as Philadelphia's offense put up just three total runs. Nola has given up four runs twice over his past four outings and has a mediocre 4.37 ERA with only one quality start during that span.

Hudson earned a save against the Phillies on Monday, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Manager Dave Roberts went to Hudson with the Dodgers up two runs entering the ninth inning, and the righty reliever came through with an 11-pitch scoreless frame. The save was Hudson's first since July 22, with three other Dodgers relievers notching a save since that date. It's apparent that Evan Phillips is no longer going to get the bulk of Los Angeles' save opportunities for the time being, and Hudson seems to be the most likely Dodgers pitcher to be called upon in his stead, but it's quite possible that Roberts continues to spread ninth-inning opportunities among a number of relievers in what has been one of the majors' top bullpens.

Glasnow (9-6) earned the win over Philadelphia on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out nine batters over six innings.

Glasnow fell behind 2-0 after two innings but gave up only one run over his remaining four frames. The veteran right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and picked up his first victory since June 22. Glasnow's nine punchouts Monday were his most since that June 22 win, and he now ranks second in the majors with 164 punchouts on the campaign.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Fitzgerald took the second pitch of the game out to left field for a leadoff homer. The 26-year-old has taken over leadoff duties versus left-handed starters -- he's been atop the order against the last three southpaws the Giants have faced since Jorge Soler was traded to Atlanta. Fitzgerald has certainly earned a prominent spot in the lineup with 11 homers over his last 17 contests and a .314/.373/.650 slash line across 153 plate appearances this year.
