Stroman (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Stroman has struggled to overcome soreness in his left knee, but tests have shown no structural damage, and he threw a side session Saturday without issue. Should the right-hander get through Tuesday's bullpen session without a setback, he could be in line for a return from the 15-day injured list in the first half of June. It's unclear if Stroman will immediately return to the rotation, however, as both Will Warren and Ryan Yarbrough have been pitching well, while JT Brubaker (ribs) recently began a rehab assignment and Luis Gil (lat) is approaching a return to the mound as well.

Warren didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.

Warren punched out seven batters for a fifth straight start despite throwing just 57 pitches before a rain delay halted the game in the top of the fifth frame. The 26-year-old settled in after a shaky first inning when he loaded the bases with no outs. Colorado scored a pair of runs in the frame, but he avoided further damage by retiring three straight batters to end the inning. In his last five appearances, Warren has a 2.70 ERA and a 41:8 K:BB across 26.2 innings. He's scheduled to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles next weekend.

Hoglund didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out two.

Hoglund set a season low in strikeouts Sunday and walked multiple batters for a third consecutive outing. The rookie's ERA has ballooned to 5.13 through five starts despite allowing just three runs over 11.1 innings during his first two appearances. Hoglund notched a 10:1 K:BB in his first two outings but now owns a 22:9 K:BB overall. He'll look to bounce back next time out, though he's tentatively scheduled for a matchup in Toronto against the Blue Jays, who average 4.54 runs per game at home.

Allen (2-3) took the loss Sunday in Detroit after giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

The left-hander kept the Tigers off the board through three innings but fell apart in the fourth, as Detroit scored five runs on five hits, a hit-by-pitch and an error. Allen has now failed to cover five frames in three of his past four starts, though it's worth noting that one of those outings was cut short due to inclement weather. The 26-year-old has a 4.31 ERA through 10 starts this year, and his 1.63 WHIP and 36:25 K:BB aren't encouraging.

Gordon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Mariners. He allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings while striking out four.

Gordon struggled out of the gate, giving up all three runs in the first three frames. Mitch Garver knocked a two-run double in the first inning, and Donovan Solano drove in another run in the third. Gordon has given up exactly three runs in each of his first three MLB outings, resulting in a 5.52 ERA over 14.2 innings. His average fastball was down to 90.6 mph Sunday, and he forced just eight swinging strikes on 84 total pitches. Gordon is currently projected to face the Rays at home next weekend.

Castillo did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six.

Castillo coughed up a pair of runs in the third inning and one more in the sixth. He recorded his sixth quality start of the year and third in a row, but it wasn't a very efficient one. He threw a season-high 114 pitches (72 strikes) and worked around multiple threats. Castillo generated 14 whiffs, including eight with his fastball that averaged 96.4 mph. He's sporting a 3.32 ERA with a 50:21 K:BB through 62.1 frames. Castillo is lined up to face the Twins at home next weekend.

Morton is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Cardinals at Camden Yards, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After the Orioles parted ways with Kyle Gibson last Tuesday, Morton had been expected to slot back into the rotation during the team's series versus Boston over the weekend, but rainouts Thursday and Friday resulted in some reshuffling with the pitching schedule. Morton is now set to take the hill Monday on eight days' rest and will be making his seventh start of the season. The veteran right-hander is still holding down a 7.68 ERA and 1.76 WHIP on the season, but he's been much sharper over his three most recent relief appearances. In those outings, Morton struck out 12 batters over 9.2 innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks.

Hendricks (2-6) took the loss Sunday against Miami. He conceded three runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings with five strikeouts.

After yielding a home run across each of his previous seven starts, Hendricks kept the ball in the yard during this 87-pitch outing but did allow four doubles. Despite allowing three or more runs for the fourth consecutive appearance, the 35-year-old managed to notch his fourth quality start of the season. Hendricks now sports a 5.23 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB across 53.1 innings. He is scheduled to make his next start on the road at Cleveland next weekend.

Ober did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Royals, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Ober took a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning but was lifted at 89 pitches after surrendering a game-tying double with two outs. In 10 starts since a rough eight-run season debut, the 29-year-old has delivered six quality starts while yielding just one earned run eight times. On the season, he owns a 3.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB across 58 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Bubic did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Bubic allowed a run in the first inning but rebounded with six scoreless frames, matching a season high with nine punchouts. The southpaw has been outstanding in May, posting four quality starts in five outings while yielding just two runs over 32.1 innings. He'll carry a stellar 1.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 68.1 innings into a home matchup with the Tigers next weekend.
