Spencer Strider - Pulled after 4.2 innings Strider allowed a run on five hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight in 4.2 innings in a 4-1 win Tuesday over the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Strider held the Mets scoreless through the first four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth. With two outs, he gave up a run-scoring triple to Francisco Lindor and issued an intentional walk to Pete Alonso before being removed, having thrown 103 pitches. Over his last four starts including Tuesday, the 23-year-old has fanned 38 batters in 23.1 innings and allowed just two runs on 13 hits.

Mike Soroka - Completes bullpen session Soroka (Achilles/knee) threw a bullpen session Monday with no apparent issues, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The right-hander's rehab from Achilles surgery has been stalled over the past week after he was struck in the knee by a comebacker during live batting practice, so it's a good sign he's back on the mound. Soroka will likely need to return to throwing live BP before being cleared for a rehab assignment, which will be lengthy given he hasn't seen MLB action since 2020.

Kenley Jansen - Set to return Wednesday Jansen (chest) is expected to be activated from the injured list Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The bullpen session Jansen threw Monday must have gone off without a hitch, as it appears Tuesday will be the final day he spends off the active roster. Given that he will have missed just one day more than the 15 days required by his placement on the injured list, he figures to immediately reclaim the closer's duties for Atlanta.

Eddie Rosario - Heads to bench Tuesday Rosario is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Rosario's streak of four consecutive starts in left field will come to an end, as the righty-hitting Adam Duvall replaces him in the lineup with a southpaw (David Peterson) on the mound for the Mets. Duvall has served as an everyday player for most of this season, but he and Rosario could end up settling into a platoon with rookie Michael Harris having solidified his spot as Atlanta's primary option in center field alongside Ronald Acuna. Atlanta's plans in left field have yet to be formally clarified, however, as Duvall spent the past weekend on the paternity list before being activated Monday.

Robinson Canó - Takes seat Tuesday Cano is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Lefty David Peterson starts for the Mets, so Cano is out of the lineup. The veteran Cano will likely get plenty of at-bats with his new team as long as he's performing, but he could often find himself on the bench against southpaw starters. Orlando Arcia gets the start at second base.

Robinson Canó - Two hits in team debut Cano went 2-for-3 with a pair of base hits Monday in Atlanta's 4-1 loss to the Mets.

Impact After Atlanta acquired him from San Diego on Sunday, Cano quickly joined the big club and entered the starting lineup for the series opener against one of his former teams. Cano got the job done while batting out of the ninth spot and should settle in as Atlanta's primary second baseman while Ozzie Albies (foot) remains on the 60-day injured list. The righty-hitting Orlando Arcia could spell the lefty-hitting Cano at the keystone when Atlanta opposes left-handed pitchers.

Austin Riley - Homers in third straight game Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Mets.

Impact The third baseman spoiled Max Scherzer's shutout bid by going yard in the seventh inning, but it was the only offense Atlanta generated on the night. Riley is notoriously streaky, but he's locked in right now -- he's hit safely in seven straight games and homered in three straight, boosting his slash line on the season to .282/.348/.564 with 24 home runs, 51 runs and 57 RBI through 86 contests.

Max Fried - Wobbly control in Monday's loss Fried (9-3) took the loss Monday as Atlanta fell 4-1 to the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and five walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw didn't have much margin for error with Max Scherzer in top form for New York, but Fried didn't help his cause by tossing only 55 of 99 pitches for strikes before exiting. It's only the second time in his last eight starts Fried has issued multiple free passes, and even with Monday's bumpy outing, he sports a 1.93 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 51.1 innings over that stretch.
