Mata (hamstring/shoulder) struck out two over two scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Portland. He gave up one hit and hit another batter with a pitch.

Advice: Mata has resided on the Red Sox's 15-day injured list all season. He was initially placed on the IL coming out of spring training due to a right hamstring strain, and after making three rehab appearances in May, he was shut down for just over three weeks due to shoulder and lat soreness. Mata will likely continue to make multi-inning starts or relief appearances with Portland or Triple-A Worcester and could remain on assignment in the minors for close to the maximum 30 days. The 25-year-old right-hander has yet to make his MLB debut and wouldn't appear to be big-league ready after posting a 6.33 ERA and 2.19 WHIP in 27 innings with Worcester in 2023. However, because he doesn't have minor-league options remaining, the Red Sox are expected to keep him on the 26-man active roster as a low-leverage bullpen arm once he's reinstated from the IL.

Atlanta recalled Wall from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Advice: It's possible the left-handed hitting Wall could get some regular looks in the outfield if Atlanta prefers to limit Adam Duvall's and Ramon Laureano's exposure to right-handed pitching. If that happens, Wall would make for an interesting deep-league addition in fantasy leagues given his speed, as he's stolen 11 bases this year at Gwinnett and swiped 52 bags there last year. He's capable of handling all three outfield spots. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

Atlanta placed Waldrep on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.

Advice: It was reported Sunday that Waldrep was being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett, but he's landed on the IL instead after reporting elbow soreness following Sunday's outing versus the Rays. It's not clear how long Waldrep might be out, but he's sure to be optioned to Gwinnett once deemed healthy. Waldrep has allowed 13 runs with a 3:8 K:BB over seven innings in two starts with the big club. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Sunday.

Advice: Just two days after he elected free agency, Bowman made his return to the Mariners organization and reported to Triple-A Tacoma. He was thrust into action right away for Tacoma, striking out two over a scoreless inning in Sunday's 13-3 win over Round Rock. Bowman has previously made 10 appearances in the majors this season across stops with the Twins, Diamondbacks and Mariners, accruing a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 15 innings.

Delay went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

Advice: Delay drew his first start since being recalled Saturday and delivered a key three-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 6-0. He's likely to remain the backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined, but Delay could push for more regular at-bats with Grandal performing poorly.
