Wheeler (3-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Arizona.

Most of the damage against Wheeler came in the second inning on Lourdes Gurriel's solo homer and Geraldo Perdomo's two-run double. Pavin Smith later knocked a solo shot in the fifth. Wheeler is now 0-3 over his last four starts and has given up at least four runs in three of those. His season ERA is up to 4.11 with a 64:14 K:BB through 57 innings. Wheeler is projected to start in Atlanta this weekend.

Henry (2-1) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over Philadelphia.

Henry rolled through three scoreless innings with little pushback from the Phillies. He then served up solo homers to Kyle Schwarber and Bryston Stott in the fourth. After allowing two home runs through 22.1 innings to begin the year, Henry has allowed four over his last two starts. He lowered his ERA to 4.68 while picking up his first win since April 29. Henry's lined up for a home outing against Boston this weekend.

Sanchez (shoulder) will increase his throwing distance to 105 feet this week, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Sanchez has thrown without discomfort for a couple weeks, and he is ready to see how his shoulder handles an increase in stress. The Marlins have taken the cautious route with Sanchez and figure to continue doing so.

Rogers (biceps) is scheduled to throw three innings in an extended spring training game Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rogers tossed 35 pitches in a bullpen session over the weekend, and he is ready to advance to the next step in his recovery. A rehab assignment is likely in the cards, so a May return to the big leagues should not be expected. However, he may be ready to rejoin Miami's rotation at some point next month.

Cueto (biceps) is playing catch up to 105 feet and will be "reevaluated for mound activity later this week," Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cueto resumed playing catch last week, and it may not be long until he is ready to take the next step in his recovery. The Marlins figure to release another update on his status after he undergoes his next check-up.

Webb (back) will make his next scheduled start Thursday in Milwaukee, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Webb dealt with some lower-back soreness during his last start Saturday against the Marlins, but tests came back clean and he's expected to be fine. The right-hander will carry a 2.91 ERA into Thursday's outing versus the Brewers.

Urias (hamstring) is slated to throw a bullpen session this weekend in Tampa Bay, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he's "hopeful" Urias will rejoin the rotation in early June against the Yankees when first eligible. The veteran left-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend following a poor start in St. Louis, but it sounds like he won't miss much time if he progresses as hoped.

Kershaw was placed on the bereavement list by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Kershaw's mother recently passed, so he'll have some time for mourning. He is not expected to miss a start, putting the lefty in line to take the ball this weekend in Tampa Bay.

The Dodgers recalled Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Atlanta, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Stone will pick up his second MLB start Monday and will have an opportunity to prove he should stick around with the big club as the Dodgers battle injuries in their rotation. The right-hander struggled in his major-league debut earlier this month, though he pitched better upon returning to Oklahoma City. Stone's upside warrants him being rostered in most leagues, though it may be wise for those in daily-moves formats to keep him on the bench for Monday's outing.

Davies (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine whether he'll be activated or make another rehab start, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Davies struck out seven over 4.2 scoreless innings for Double-A Amarillo over the weekend. Assuming he comes out of Wednesday's bullpen session with no issues, he would appear likely to rejoin Arizona's rotation as soon as this weekend.
