Ryu allowed one run on two hits and two walks over six innings during Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Marlins. He had seven strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

The 33-year-old surrendered a solo homer to Brian Anderson during the second inning, but he otherwise kept the Marlins in check all evening. The Blue Jays scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to put him in line for the win, but the Marlins rallied late to for the 10th inning. Ryu gave up eight runs in nine innings during his first two starts, but in his last two outings he's allowed only one run on three hits across 11 frames. The left-hander will look to keep things rolling early next week in Baltimore.

Farrell was placed on the injured list Tuesday after coming in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, though he has tested negative to this point, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Farrell was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Thursday, but he'll now be sidelined while continuing to undergo testing. The right-hander gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings to begin the season.

Means was transferred to the injured list Tuesday while he undergoes intake testing, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After he spent the past several days on the bereavement list, Means will be sidelined several more days while he undergoes intake testing. The southpaw had lined up to start Thursday, but Tom Eshelman is expected to take his spot in the rotation against the Phillies. Assuming all goes well, Means should be able to return to the team in the coming days.

Clevinger (not injury related) was placed on the restricted list Tuesday.

Clevinger is in the midst of a mandatory quarantine process after violating team protocols over the weekend. He'll have to spend at least three days away from the team and produce a negative COVID-19 test before he's allowed to return. The earliest that the right-hander would be able to return would be Friday, but both Clevinger and teammate Zach Plesac could face further discipline from the team.

Springs was optioned to the Red Sox's alternate training site Tuesday.

Springs pitched inconsistently over four appearances with Boston this season, and he'll head to alternate camp after giving up three runs over 1.1 innings Monday. Right-hander Robert Stock was recalled to take Springs' place in the major-league bullpen.

Schmidt will build up to five innings Wednesday at the Yankees' alternate site, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

We know that he remains an option to join the big-league rotation sometime this summer, and the knowledge that he will throw five innings Wednesday would seemingly rule him out as an option to replace J.A. Happ in the rotation this weekend. He lines up to potentially step into the big-league rotation as early as Monday or Saturday of next week. Those are Jordan Montgomery's scheduled starts, so if Montgomery has another rough outing Tuesday against the Braves, perhaps it would be he whom Schmidt replaces in the rotation and not Happ.

Teheran (0-1) didn't factor into the decision in Monday's contest between the Angels and the Athletics. He gave up five runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks while fanning one in just two innings.

Teheran has been struggling so far, giving up seven earned runs in just 4.2 innings across his first two outings of the campaign. He will try to bounce back in his next scheduled start, although it won't be an easy matchup since he will face the Dodgers at home Aug. 16.

Gibson (0-2) took the loss versus the Mariners on Monday, allowing four runs on nine hits and a walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

Gibson did relatively well until the fifth inning, when he allowed a three-run go-ahead blast to Kyle Lewis. The Rangers were unable to retake the lead, and Gibson was on the hook for his second loss. He's got a 4.11 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 15.1 innings this season. The right-hander will make his next start Sunday in Colorado.

Dunn (1-1) earned the win Monday versus the Rangers, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Dunn was a bit generous with baserunners, but the Rangers didn't capitalize on most of their opportunities. The 24-year-old has pitched to a 4.85 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 13 innings across three starts this year. With the Mariners running a six-man rotation at the moment, Dunn isn't expected to make his next start until Aug. 17 versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

McCullers (2-1) pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out five in a win versus the Giants on Monday.

McCullers had his best start of the year, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Donovan Solano broke it up with a double. McCullers also hit a batter in the contest. The righty dropped his ERA to 6.10 with a 1.26 WHIP and 16 strikeouts in 20.2 innings with the sparkling effort Monday. McCullers is expected to face the Mariners at home Sunday in his next start.
