Kaprielian was promoted to Double-A Midland on Tuesday, High-A Stockton broadcaster Zack Bayrouty reports.

Kaprielian moves up after tossing 36.1 innings for High-A Stockton, his first innings since 2016 after two seasons lost to injuries. His 4.46 ERA in those innings wasn't particularly good, but both his 28.3 percent strikeout rate and 5.3 percent walk rate were strong.

Whitley (shoulder) will make a rehab start for High-A Fayetteville on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Whitley was shut down with shoulder fatigue in late May after opening the season with a 12.21 ERA in 24.1 innings for Triple-A Round Rock. He hasn't been any better thus far on his rehab assignment, allowing five runs (four earned) while walking nine batters in 4.1 innings at the rookie-ball level, but he'll move up to a full-season affiliate Wednesday despite his continued struggles.

Farrell (jaw) will begin a rehab assignment with the Arizona Rookie League Rangers on Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Farrell hasn't pitched in a live game since spring training, when he suffered a fractured jaw after being struck by a line drive. While it's good to see him back in action, his lengthy absence means he'll likely need a considerable amount of time in the minor leagues to get his arm back in shape. A timetable for his return has not yet been revealed.

Bunday (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against Arizona.

Bundy expected to miss just one start with knee tendinitis and will wind up meeting that goal. The 26-year-old has so far failed to take a step forward this season, with his 5.28 ERA not coming in meaningfully lower than his 5.45 mark from last season.

Milone is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

The lefty has been a mainstay in the Seattle rotation since late May, but he had been deployed out of the bullpen as a bulk reliever behind an opener for each of his last four turns. The arrangement has mostly been favorable for Milone this season, though he was bombed for five runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over 4.1 innings his last time out in Oakland on July 17. Even if Milone is cruising through Tuesday's start, expect manager Scott Servais to pull him early rather than risk exposing the southpaw to a blowup while facing hitters a third time through the order.

Eovaldi allowed five hits and three runs while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning in Monday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

This was Eovaldi's first appearance since coming off the injured list, and it was designed to be a soft landing after he missed three months with an elbow injury. Unfortunately, he showed up rusty and couldn't get out of the eighth inning. The silver lining is that just one of the five hits had an exit velocity over 93.8 mph, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com.

Gonzales (11-8) picked up the win against the Rangers on Monday, giving up two earned runs on seven hits over seven innings, striking out four and walking none as the Mariners bagged a 7-3 victory.

The left-hander was tagged for six earned by the Athletics in his last start, but he bounced back with a solid effort against the Rangers and picked up his 11th win of the season. It's been an erratic campaign overall for Gonzales, as he's shown flashes of brilliance, but has tossed enough clunkers to leave him with a pedestrian 4.37 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 127.2 innings.

Perez allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings Monday, striking out four and taking the no-decision in the win over the Yankees.

Perez coughed up three homers in this one, including a two-run shot to DJ LeMahieu in the fifth inning before walking Aaron Judge all without recording an out in the frame. The southpaw has allowed at least four runs in five of his last seven outings, spiking his ERA from 3.72 to 4.37 in the process. He'll look to get back in the win column on the road against the White Sox on Saturday.

Rodriguez (12-4) picked up the win in Monday's 9-4 victory over the Rays, allowing two hits and four walks over seven scoreless innings while striking out six.

The southpaw put together one of his best outings of the year, throwing 70 of 113 pitches for strikes en route to his sixth straight win. Rodriguez will take a 4.10 ERA and 126:41 K:BB through 123 innings into his next start Saturday, at home against the Yankees.

Cole (11-5) allowed one run on two hits and a walk over seven frames Monday, striking out 11 and earning the win over Oakland.

Spotted with an 11-0 lead after just three innings, Cole was never really in trouble Monday. It was his third consecutive double-digit strikeout performance and second straight outing going exactly seven innings with one run allowed and 11 punchouts. The 6-foot-4 righty became the first pitcher of the year to reach 200 strikeouts and owns a stellar 205:34 K:BB. Cole will carry a 3.03 ERA into Sunday's outing in St. Louis.
