Heaney (4-4) took the loss against Oakland on Tuesday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six.

The left-hander entered the contest riding a three-start win streak, and though he wasn't abysmal against the Athletics, he was outdueled by opposing starter Frankie Montas to end up with the loss. Heaney did extend his streak of pitching at least five innings and allowing three or fewer runs to four games, and he didn't allow any long balls for the third straight contest. He owns a 4.45 ERA on the season and is tentatively scheduled to face San Francisco at home Tuesday in his next start.

Mize (4-4) allowed three runs across 6.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Royals. He gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out three.

Mize wasn't overly dominant, but he did enough to earn his fourth win of the season. His ERA actually went up to 3.49 despite the quality start, which demonstrates how solid the second-year pro has been lately. He's now allowed three earned runs or fewer in nine straight outings, and he's gone six or more innings in eight of those starts. The 24-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled appearance Sunday against the Angels.

Rodriguez allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight across four innings Tuesday against Atlanta. He did not factor into the decision.

Rodriguez was handed a five-run lead in the first three innings of the game, but he failed to pitch deep enough to be eligible for the win. He was also hit hard, as he allowed four extra-base hits -- though none were homers. The lefty is in the midst of a concerning stretch, as Rodriguez has allowed at least four runs in seven of his last nine starts. He did manage to balance some of that damage in this outing with the eight strikeouts, which he backed with 17 swinging strikes on 80 total pitches. For the season, Rodriguez now has a 6.21 ERA with a 78:18 K:BB across 66.2 frames.

Quantrill did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. He allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four across four innings.

Aside from giving up an RBI double to Maikel Franco in the second inning, Quantrill looked strong in what was expected to be another abbreviated outing. The 26-year-old has yet to throw more than 60 pitches in any of his 21 appearances this year, and Tuesday was no different, as he tossed 41 of his 60 pitches for strikes. Quantrill has shifted between the rotation and the bullpen this season; in fact, his last outing was a two-inning relief appearance. Overall, the right-hander has compiled a 3.11 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He potentially lines up for a road start at Pittsburgh next week.

McClanahan (2-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings to take the loss Tuesday against the White Sox.

The only major damage McClanahan allowed was a solo home run to Adam Engel in the fifth inning. He did have to regularly work with runners on base, though his final line was skewed as four of the knocks against him were infield hits. The outing was also positive as McClanahan managed to complete five innings after working only a combined 6.1 frames across his last two starts. For the season, McClanahan has a 4.42 ERA with 46 strikeouts across 38.2 innings.

Keuchel (6-1) allowed four hits and one walk across seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rays.

Keuchel limited the Rays to one extra-base hit and allowed only two runners to reach scoring position across his seven innings of work. He's now turned in three consecutive starts in which he's worked at least six innings while not allowing more than two earned runs. The hot stretch has brought Keuchel's ERA down to 3.78, though he's still managed only 46 strikeouts across 78.2 frames.

Boyd was placed on the 10-day injured list with left arm discomfort Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The southpaw will be further evaluated in the next 24 hours, so it's still possible he'll be given a more detailed diagnosis and return timeline in the near future. For the time being, he'll miss at least his next turn through the rotation. He'll be eligible to come off the IL on June 25.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Severino (elbow) suffered a Grade 2 groin strain during his rehab stint at High-A Hudson Valley on Saturday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. The Yankees were hoping to have the right-hander back in the starting rotation by the end of June, but the groin injury will delay his return by about a month.

Severino appeared to be in a lot of pain after he exited Saturday's start, and Tuesday's update confirms that he suffered a rather serious setback in his return from Tommy John surgery. Given Boone's updated timeline, a late-July return to the Yankees' rotation represents the absolute best-case scenario for the right-hander, but he'll need a perfectly smooth next few weeks for that to become a reality.

Manning joined the Tigers' taxi squad Tuesday and is likely to start Thursday's game against the Angels, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The acclaimed pitching prospect will be making his major-league debut despite struggling to the tune of a 8.07 ERA in seven starts with Triple-A Toledo this season. That being said, his most recent outing was one of his best -- a six-inning, two-run effort with eight strikeouts June 9.

McCullers (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

It was announced Sunday that McCullers would be reinstated to start Tuesday against the Rangers, and now his activation is official. McCullers won't be fully stretched out in his return to the mound, as Jake Odorizzi is expected to follow him in long relief. Catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) was also activated from the IL on Tuesday, with Nivaldo Rodriguez and Garrett Stubbs heading to Triple-A Sugar Land in corresponding roster moves.
