Senzatela (shoulder) won't start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Senzatela was initially expected to return to start the Rockies' final game ahead of the All-Star break, but Austin Gomber will draw the start instead. The right-hander will presumably get some extra rest during the team's layoff but will likely be able to return shortly after the All-Star break.

DeGrom (shoulder) is slated to throw live BP on Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of FoxSports.com reports.

DeGrom has made three rehab starts over the last few weeks, and he stretched out to 42 pitches during his most recent outing. His live BP over the All-Star break will serve as his fourth rehab appearance, and he'll be re-evaluated afterward. If he feels good following the throwing session, deGrom should be in the mix to rejoin the Mets' rotation shortly after the All-Star break.

Meyer's contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Saturday's start against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Meyer is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and will make his major-league debut Saturday after he posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts in Jacksonville to begin the year. It wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander make at least one more turn through the rotation following Saturday's start, particularly if Edward Cabrera (elbow) is unable to return shortly after the All-Star break.

Suarez (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Saturday's start against the Marlins.

Suarez will rejoin the Phillies' rotation after spending just over the minimum of 15 days on the injured list due to a low back spasm. He didn't require a rehab assignment ahead of Saturday's start but threw a bullpen session last weekend and has been cleared to return ahead of the All-Star break. The southpaw made five starts in June and posted a 3.77 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 31 innings.

Coebin (4-12) took the loss Friday, surrendering six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks over five innings as the Nationals were downed 8-4 by Atlanta. He struck out eight.

Two of the hits off Corbin left the yard, the sixth time in his last 12 starts the veteran lefty has served up multiple homers. Corbin carries a rough 5.78 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB through 67 innings over that stretch, but unless Washington can find a taker for his bloated contract by the trade deadline, his spot in the Nats' rotation seems secure.

Anderson (8-5) picked up the win in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander wasn't particularly efficient, tossing 60 of 101 pitches for strikes, but Atlanta handed Anderson a 3-0 lead before he set foot on the mound and he never let Washington get close. He's failed to last six innings in five straight starts, but he hasn't given up more than two runs in any of his last three. Anderson will carry a 4.79 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 79:45 K:BB through 92 innings into the All-Star break.

Alcantara (9-4) took the loss Friday as the Marlins were downed 2-1 by the Phillies, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over eight innings. He struck out 12.

The right-hander delivered his usual throwback performance, lasting at least seven innings for an incredible 13th straight start on an efficient 106 pitches (75 strikes), and Alcantara took a shutout into the seventh inning before finally stumbling. Unfortunately, the Miami offense gave him almost no support. Alcantara boasts a 1.31 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 92:17 K:BB through 102.2 innings over that 13-outing stretch as he heads into his second All-Star Game appearance, and potentially the start for the NL squad.

Gibson (5-3) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings in a 2-1 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five.

Miami pushed across a run in the second inning on a Bryan De La Cruz sacrifice fly, but Gibson locked things down the rest of the way and let only one other runner even reach second base. It was the second straight quality start for the right-hander and his ninth of the year, and Gibson will carry a 4.35 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 80:26 K:BB through 97.1 innings into his next outing.

Woodruff allowed two runs on five hits, five walks and a hit batsman while striking out four in 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.

Woodruff hit a batter for the first time since his first start of the season, and the five walks were a season high in this inefficient outing. He was still in line for the win when he exited, but Josh Hader's ninth-inning meltdown denied Woodruff a decision. The right-hander now has a 3.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 84:21 K:BB across 66.1 innings in 13 starts this year.

Wood allowed three unearned runs on four hits and struck out seven in 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Friday.

The Brewers rallied for five runs in the fifth inning, with Wood responsible for three of them, including two runners that Tyler Rogers inherited but couldn't keep from scoring. In his last three starts, Wood has allowed four runs (one earned) in 16.2 innings while racking up 19 strikeouts. He's at a 4.20 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 90:21 K:BB across 90 innings in 18 starts this year.
