Castillo allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.

Castillo allowed all three of his runs in the second inning, two of which came on a home run by Geraldo Perdomo. He kept Arizona in check otherwise by recording 17 of his 21 outs via either strikeout or groundout. Castillo has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his eight starts this season, and he now owns a 3.33 ERA and 43:15 K:BB across 36 innings.

Heaney (shoulder) is traveling to join the Dodgers and is a candidate to start Sunday against the Guardians in Los Angeles, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Heaney struck out nine over five scoreless innings for Double-A Tulsa during his third rehab start Tuesday, and there's a strong chance his next outing comes in the majors. Assuming he starts Sunday, the 31-year-old could face some workload limitations in his first start back from the injured list.

Stroman (shoulder) hasn't yet resumed throwing, Joey Pollizze of MLB.com reports.

Stroman has been sidelined for a week due to right shoulder inflammation, and he's been shut down over the last few days while resting his injury. A timetable for the right-hander's return is unlikely to be revealed until he resumes throwing, but it seems possible that he'll require more than the minimum of 15 days on the injured list.

Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Peralta (lat) has resumed throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Peralta has been working out at the Brewers' extended spring training facility in Arizona over the last several days, but it's encouraging that he's now playing catch. The right-hander still faces a lengthy recovery process, as he was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday and will be ineligible to return until at least late July.

Woodruff (hand) will make a rehab start Saturday at Triple-A Nashville, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The right-hander has been cleared to return to game action after throwing a 40-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. Woodruff has been on the injured list since May 30, and it's possible that he'll be able to rejoin the Brewers following a single rehab start.

Gray is scheduled to make his next start in Saturday's home game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gray was lined up to make two starts at the beginning of the week, but he was ultimately scratched from his scheduled outing Monday against Atlanta since the Nationals didn't want to have him warm up a second time following a 90-minute rain delay. Rather than having Gray pitch a couple days later, the Nationals elected to skip his turn in the rotation entirely. Gray will take a 6-4 record, 4.33 ERA and 1.32 WHIP into his 13th start of the season this weekend.

Liberatore was returned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Liberatore made his fourth career major-league start during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, and he allowed three hits and two walks while striking out five in five scoreless innings to earn the win over Pittsburgh. However, the left-hander served as the 27th man during the twin bill and will head back to the minors after Jack Flaherty (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Flaherty (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Pirates.

Flaherty missed the first two and a half months of the regular season due to shoulder inflammation, but he'll make his season debut at home against the Pirates in Wednesday's series finale. The right-hander was effective over his two rehab appearances, posting a 1.29 ERA and 0.14 WHIP in seven innings. However, he tossed just 58 pitches during his most recent outing at Triple-A Memphis and will be limited to approximately 60 pitches during his return to major-league action Wednesday.

Burrows was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Adam Babetski of the Altoona Mirror reports.

The 22-year-old righty posted a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:19 K:BB in 52 innings across 12 starts at Double-A. Burrows has been fantastic for most of the season and will make his Triple-A debut Sunday.

Lodolo (back) will need two or three more rehab starts to build back up before coming off the injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, the online box score for Lodolo's first rehab start Monday in the Arizona Complex League was incorrect, as it didn't account for a pitching change. Per Nightengale, Lodolo gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out two in two innings. He is expected to move to Triple-A Louisville for the rest of his rehab. Given that he will be making at least two more starts, a return around the end of June or start of July seems like the best-case scenario.
