Williams will not make his scheduled start Tuesday after the game against the Twins was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The teams had been slated to complete Monday's suspended game before playing a full nine-inning affair, but now neither of those contests will be played. The suspended game will now be completed Wednesday, while the other game that Williams had been slated to start will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20.

The Astros transferred Wesneski (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, so the move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. Wesneski will be sidelined for the rest of 2025 and at least the first half of the 2026 campaign.

The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Gordon is being sent out to make room on the roster for Brandon Walter, who will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The left-handed Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.

The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

McDermott will be utilized as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday in Milwaukee, following opener Keegan Akin. The right-handed McDermott permitted four runs while striking out five over three innings of work in a spot start last week versus the Twins.

Allen tossed three innings against Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters before the game was suspended due to inclement weather.

Allen gave up a run in each of the first and second innings before tossing a clean, four-pitch third frame. That was as far as he would go, as the contest ended up being suspended until Tuesday due to rain. Allen isn't going to pitch when the game resumes, but he could still take the loss given that the Guardians were behind when the contest was halted. The left-hander threw 53 pitches Monday, so his arm should be relatively fresh when he next takes the mound, which is scheduled to be this weekend in Detroit.

Ober allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three batters over three innings Monday versus Cleveland in a game that was suspended until Tuesday due to inclement weather.

Ober gave up a run in the first inning but held a 2-1 lead before the contest was suspended. The right-hander threw 42 pitches (an efficient 35 of which were strikes) and will have to settle for a no-decision given the short outing. It's a disappointing outcome for fantasy managers who roster Ober, but the hurler should at least be well-rested by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up, which lines up to be this weekend versus Kansas City.

Ginn (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Angels.

Ginn threw 48 of 79 pitches for strikes in his return from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander had been out since late April due to the injury, and he fell short of his expected 85-to-90 pitch count in his return. He struggled a bit, allowing home runs to Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward, which accounted for three of the four runs on Ginn's line. For the season, Ginn has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings, showing some strikeout upside despite the sinkerballer's other concerns in his profile, which has included him allowing six homers already this season. His next start is projected to be a tough home matchup versus the Phillies this weekend.

Soriano (3-4) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.

Soriano wasn't at his best, but he was still good enough to picked up his third quality start over four outings in May. He also got back in the win column for the first time since April 10 versus the Rays. Soriano's continued success has come from keeping the ball down -- he hasn't allowed a home run in his last five starts and has given up just three long balls all season. That's helped to keep his ERA at 3.57 despite a 1.48 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB over 58 innings. His next start is expected to be in a favorable home matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Bubic (5-2) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday over the Giants.

Bubic carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but he lost it with two outs in that frame when he gave up a single to Wilmer Flores. He was still able to keep the Giants off balance throughout the start, which was Bubic's fourth scoreless outing in his last six starts. The left-hander has dazzled this season with a 1.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 61.1 innings in his return to a starting role after featuring as a reliever in 2024 following his Tommy John surgery in 2023. Bubic's next start is projected to be at Minnesota over the weekend.

Montero surrendered five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday.

Montero worked in a bulk-relief role for the second straight game, though he took on a starter's workload with 5.2 frames and 98 pitches. The right-hander entered with one out in the first inning after Sean Guenther had allowed allowed a run on three hits, and though Montero got out of that frame without yielding further damage, he gave up four runs across the fourth and fifth innings and was charged with another after he departed in the seventh. It remains to be seen if Montero will continue entering behind an opener, but he should keep getting the ball on a starter's schedule even after Casey Mize (hamstring) returns from the injured list, as Reese Olson (finger) landed on the IL on Monday.
