Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Activated from paternity list
Corbin (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Corbin will join the Nationals in Chicago ahead of their series with the Cubs and he's currently projected to start Wednesday's series finale. In order to make a spot on the major-league roster for the left-hander, Joan Adon was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

Jacob Misiorowski SP | MIL
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Gets call to Double-A
The Brewers promoted Misiorowski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
After striking out the side in a head-turning performance during the All-Star Futures Game on July 8, Misiorowski made one final tune-up outing at the High-A level over the weekend before ultimately earning the call to Biloxi. The flame-throwing right-hander will join his third affiliate of the season after he began the 2023 campaign at Single-A Carolina before moving to the Midwest League in early June. Over his six starts at Wisconsin, Misiorowski turned in a 1.90 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Yu-Min Lin SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Yu-Min Lin: Dominance carries over to Double-A
Lin struck out eight while giving up two hits and walking one in six scoreless frames Sunday against Frisco during his first start for Double-A Amarillo.
The undersized southpaw sits around only 90 mph with his fastball, but he has big-time offspeed stuff, with one of the best changeups in the minors and a pair of high-spin breaking balls. Lin had three double-digit strikeout games in his final six starts at High-A, registering a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 38.2 innings over that stretch. He just turned 20 last week and is the youngest pitcher at Double-A.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Mets' Jose Quintana: Team debut pushed to Thursday
Quintana is now slated to start Thursday's game against the White Sox at Citi Field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
When he was reinstated from the 60-day injured list this past Friday, Quintana had been in line to start Tuesday's series opener with the White Sox, but he'll instead make his Mets debut two days later after the organization's brain trust decided he could benefit from some additional rest. Quintana built up to 4.1 innings and 78 pitches in his fifth and final minor-league rehab start July 8, so he's not expected to face any major limitations from a workload standpoint when he takes the hill Thursday. The veteran southpaw is coming off a resurgent 2022 campaign split between the Cardinals and Pirates in which he posted a 2.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 165.2 innings.

Mike Soroka SP | ARI
Braves' Michael Soroka: Needed in relief Sunday
Soroka gave up two runs on three hits over three innings of relief in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. He struck out three without walking a batter.
Luis Robert took Soroka deep in the sixth inning to account for all the damage off him, but Atlanta was already facing a 6-1 deficit at that point. The early exit of Kolby Allard (shoulder) forced Soroka into action Sunday for 30 pitches (25 strikes) -- the right-hander is currently scheduled to get the start Friday, but the team could shuffle around its rotation and bump him into Allard's spot Saturday if the southpaw is forced to miss his turn, or even just to give Soroka an extra day's rest.

Josiah Gray SP | WAS
Nationals' Josiah Gray: Allows 10 hits to Cardinals
Gray (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings.
The 10 hits allowed were a season high for Gray, and the two strikeouts matched his season low. He kept the Cardinals scoreless through three frames despite allowing two baserunners to reach in each inning before finally faltering in the fourth. Gray would go on to allow five base hits leading to three runs before surrendering a big fly to Nolan Gorman in the fifth. Gray's 3.59 ERA casts over the 1.47 WHIP and 4.85 FIP that come along with it, suggesting he's had some luck on his side this year. He averaged at least a strikeout per inning in each of his past two seasons but sits at just an 8.0 K/9 this year while his walk rate remains up from previous years. He'll look to right the ship against San Francisco this coming week.

Jack Flaherty SP | DET
Cardinals' Jack Flaherty: Earns fourth consecutive win
Flaherty (7-5) got the win over the Nationals on Sunday after allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings.
Flaherty served up a solo home run to Keibert Ruiz in the second but then went on to retire 12 of the next 13 batters before the Nationals eventually tacked on two more in the sixth. It was Flaherty's third straight quality start although it was also the fifth time in his last six outings he's issued multiple walks. The 27-year-old is working with a 4.29 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 96:51 K:BB in 98.2 innings this year. He tentatively lines up to face the Cubs on the road this upcoming week.

Tommy Henry SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Takes rare loss
Henry (5-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over 4.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out five.
After going at least 5.2 innings in each of his last four starts, Henry was pulled after 4.1 innings (81 pitches) Sunday. He struggled with the Blue Jays' talented lineup, allowing more hits (seven) Sunday than he had given up (six) in his last two starts combined. The loss was Henry's second of the season and his first since May 11 (10 starts). Henry's taken significant steps forward in his second MLB season, owning a 3.89 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, but he still has room for improvement with strikeouts (6.4 K/9) and limiting power (1.4 HR/9).
-
Adrian Houser SP | SF
Brewers' Adrian Houser: Solid in no-decision
Houser did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out five.
Though Jake Fraley tagged Houser for a two-run homer in the third inning, Houser managed to put together a decent showing Sunday, tying his season high in strikeouts and lasting at least five innings for a third straight start. While Houser owns a 3.79 ERA through 57 innings, his lack of strikeouts (6.2 K/9) and inability to go deep into games (six or more innings pitched three times in 10 starts) make him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats.

Chase Anderson RP | TEX
Rockies' Chase Anderson: Strong showing Sunday
Anderson allowed three hits and two walks with one strikeout over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.
Anderson was pummeled for an 18.23 ERA over his last four starts before the All-Star break, but he was much better after some time off. The right-hander remains a risky fantasy option given his home park and shaky overall numbers. He's at a 6.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB through 54.2 innings this season. Anderson is lined up to next take the mound for a road start in Miami.
