Reynaldo López, an All-Star last season, had shoulder surgery and will be re-evaluated around the All-Star break. Spencer Strider has only made three starts this season in his return from Tommy John surgery -- a hamstring injury sidelined him after just one start before his latest return. And now there's the Smith-Shawver injury.

Atlanta rookie right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver left a 5–4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in a doubleheader opener with a strained right elbow, appearing to say "pop" toward manager Brian Snitker after a third-inning pitch to Trea Turner.
