Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday against the Cubs.

Davis hasn't had much success at the plate all season and has slipped into an even timeshare with Endy Rodriguez in the last week. Davis did deliver Monday, smacking his fourth home run of the season in the eighth inning, which turned out to be the game-winning run. He has now gone yard twice in his last three starts.

McLean (2-4) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing seven runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings.

McLean looked sharp early by striking out the side in the first inning, but things unraveled quickly after that. He allowed three consecutive baserunners in the second inning to plate the game's first run before surrendering a solo homer to JJ Bleday in the third. The fourth inning proved disastrous, as five of the six batters he faced reached base and four more runs came across before his exit. The right-hander has now allowed six or more runs in consecutive outings and has surrendered a homer in four straight starts. While he has shown the strikeout upside, McLean owns a 5.16 ERA and 1.32 WHIP during the month of May and is scheduled to face a Miami lineup that has put up great numbers recently next.

O'Hearn (quadriceps) worked out in the outfield ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs, MLB.com reports.

O'Hearn did agility and cone drills in the outfield, marking his first activity since being placed on the injured list May 17. He remains on track for a mid-June return.

Lodolo (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on six hits while striking out seven over six innings.

Lodolo looked much sharper in his fourth start since returning from the injured list, throwing 65 of his 98 pitches for strikes while generating 15 whiffs. The left-hander held New York scoreless through five innings before Marcus Semien led off the sixth with a solo homer. Command had been a major issue during Lodolo's previous starts, where he allowed 12 runs across 15 innings with an 11:9 K:BB, but Monday he didn't issue a walk -- although he did plunk Carson Benge with pitches twice. Lodolo owns a 5.57 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 21 innings and is slated to face Atlanta next.

Rumfield left Monday's game against the Dodgers after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Rumfield was struck by a 97 mph fastball in the top of the first inning and was immediately pulled from the game. He'll presumably be sent for imaging to determine the extent of the injury.

Loaisiga (shoulder) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning during Monday's 6-2 victory over the Giants.

Loaisiga hadn't appeared in a game since May 19 after dealing with right shoulder fatigue, but he was given the green light to handle the eighth inning Monday. He's been one of Arizona's more reliable bullpen arms lately, as he's posted seven straight scoreless outings (six innings).

Taylor (hip) will be sent for an MRI, but the team expects that he'll require a stint on the injured list, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Taylor was pulled from Monday's game against Cincinnati after suffering a right hip injury, and the team has yet to reveal the severity of the issue. Assuming he does land on the injured list over the next day or so, A.J. Ewing and Bretty Baty could pick up a few extra at-bats.

Diaz (elbow) is expected to start a throwing progression Tuesday or Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Diaz underwent surgery in late April to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. He's progressed enough in his recovery to start a throwing program, but the expectation is that he will be sidelined until after the All-Star break in mid-July. Diaz's exact activation date from the IL will be more clear as he continues to move through his rehab program.

Taylor was removed from Monday's game versus the Reds after the sixth inning with right hip discomfort, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

He limped off the field and into the clubhouse after grounding out in the bottom of the sixth inning, and MJ Melendez entered the game in Taylor's place in the top of the seventh. Taylor went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in his two plate appearances before exiting. The Mets should have more after the game regarding the outfielder's future availability.

Edman (ankle) will start his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Edman has been slowly progressing in his recovery from right ankle surgery that he underwent in the offseason. The 31-year-old is ready to take the next step by embarking on a rehab assignment and will spend at least the next three weeks with Oklahoma City, where he's expected to see the majority of his opportunities at second base, according to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. If all goes to plan, Edman could be back with the Dodgers by mid-June, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
