Kyle Gibson SP | BAL
Twins' Kyle Gibson: Begins rehab assignment
Gibson (shoulder) threw 4.1 scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start for High-A Fort Myers. He's expected to make two more rehab starts, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Gibson would return to the major league rotation on June 6 if all goes to plan. He threw 56 pitches in Sunday's start.

Wade Miley SP | CIN
Mariners' Wade Miley: Wins fifth straight decision Sunday
Miley (5-2) got an assist from his offense in Sunday's win over the Reds, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six.
He's now won three straight games and five straight decision, but Miley's 4.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB in 56 innings aren't exactly ace-like numbers, so don't expect him to keep landing in the win column. Then again, his next trip to the mound will come at home Saturday against the lowly Twins, so at least one more win seems within easy reach.

Matthew Boyd SP | CHC
Tigers' Matt Boyd: Sharpening game in Triple-A
Boyd struck out a season-high nine batters and allowed two runs on six hits over six innings on Friday at Lehigh Valley.
He's 1-3 on the season with a 2.06 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in eight starts at Triple-A Toldeo. Boyd has a four-pitch repertoire and will likely pitch in the Tiger's rotation in 2017, if not before.

Marcus Stroman SP | NYY
Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman: Picks up fifth win Sunday
Stroman (5-1) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 7.2 innings to earn the win Sunday at the Twins.
Stroman was provided a three-run lead in the first inning and had little trouble keeping the Twins' bats silent. He's now allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his last five starts, which has pushed his marks on the year to 3.89 ERA to go along with a 1.17 WHIP. He'll make his next start Saturday against the Red Sox.

Dallas Keuchel SP | MIL
Astros' Dallas Keuchel: Allows seven runs in losing effort Sunday
Keuchel (2-6) allowed seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Rangers.
Keuchel gave up five runs in the third inning and never gave the Astros a chance to stay in the contest. He's now allowed at least five runs in five of his last seven outings to raise his ERA to 5.92. He'll make his next start Saturday at the Angels.

Yu Darvish SP | SD
Rangers' Yu Darvish: Ready for 2016 debut
Darvish (elbow) said he's ready for his 2016 debut, FOX Sports Southwest's Anthony Andro reports.
Darvish finished his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday, striking out six batters over six scoreless innings (87 pitches) while allowing just three hits and a walk. He surrendered three runs (two earned) in 20 innings between his five rehab starts for Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock, with 21 strikeouts and just nine hits allowed. Darvish is scheduled to make his 2016 MLB debut in the upcoming weekend series against the Pirates.

Cole Hamels SP | SD
Rangers' Cole Hamels: Strikes out 11 hitters Sunday
Hamels (5-0) allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out 11 over eight innings to earn the win Sunday at Houston.
Hamels was staked to a five-run lead in the third inning, and he coasted easily to his fifth victory. After allowing three earned runs in both of his last two outings, he allowed one or fewer earned runs for the fourth time this season, lowering his ERA to 2.83 to go along with a 1.26 WHIP. He'll make his next start Friday against the Pirates.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
White Sox's Carlos Rodon: Earns second win Sunday
Rodon (2-4) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Royals.
Rodon gave up single runs in the second and sixth innings, and the White Sox provided him just enough offense to earn a victory for the lefty. He now has thrown three quality starts over his last four outings, lowering his ERA to 4.47. He'll make his next start Friday at Kansas City.

Luis Severino SP | ATH
Yankees' Luis Severino: Will make rehab start on Sunday
Serverino (triceps) is expected to make a rehab start Sunday, Yankees' clubhouse reporter Meredith Marakovits reports.
Severino has been playing catch and throwing on flat ground after he was diagnosed with a mild triceps strain earlier in May. If all goes well in the start, the 22-year-old would take a step toward a return to the Yankees' rotation.

Sonny Gray SP | BOS
Athletics' Sonny Gray: No extended absence expected
Gray (back) expects to return after the 15-day minimum, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
Gray landed on the 15-day DL on Sunday afternoon due to a strained right trapezius, but it's not an injury that is expected to cost the Oakland ace an extended absence. He did receive a cortisone shot following his removal from Friday's start, but it doesn't appear as if it had the intended results. He'll instead require a DL stint, and if everything goes as planned, Gray would only miss two starts and be back in action by early June.
