Max Meyer SP | MIA
Marlins' Max Meyer: Going to see hip specialist
Meyer said Wednesday that he will soon be examined by a hip specialist, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Meyer has missed most of June due to a left hip impingement. He played catch Monday, but the revelation that he is headed to see a specialist suggests the pitcher's recovery is not coming along as hoped. The Marlins should have more information on Meyer's condition once the specialist's evaluation is disclosed.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Activated for season debut
The Dodgers activated Sheehan (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Padres.
Sheehan is set to make his season debut versus San Diego after completing his recovery from May 2024 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander made four rehab starts, posting a 3.97 ERA and 21:1 K:BB over 11.1 frames. Sheehan went 3.1 innings and threw 63 pitches in his last outing, so he's not stretched out for a full workload. Per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com, lefty Justin Wrobleski will be available out of the bullpen and could be tasked with covering multiple innings once Sheehan exits the contest.

Adam Mazur SP | MIA
Marlins' Adam Mazur: Recalled ahead of start
The Marlins recalled Mazur from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies in Miami.
Acquired from the Padres in a six-player deal last summer, Mazur will be making his Marlins debut Wednesday, joining the Miami rotation as a replacement for the injured Max Meyer (hip). Though Meyer has been able to play catch since landing on the injured list, it's unclear how close he is to being reinstated, so Mazur may be in store for multiple turns through the rotation. Over his 12 outings (11 starts) with Jacksonville this season, the 24-year-old righty has recorded a 3.62 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB in 59.2 innings.

Shinnosuke Ogasawara RP | WAS
Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: On rehab assignment
Ogasawara (oblique) has been transferred to High-A Wilmington to continue his rehab assignment.
Ogasawara tossed two scoreless frames with two strikeouts with the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Saturday in his first rehab start. The left-hander has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Rochester since mid-April due to an oblique strain. Ogasawara should be activated by Rochester soon if all goes well, but there's no indication he's under consideration for a spot on the major-league roster anytime soon. The 27-year-old held a 4.80 ERA and 12:4 K:BB over 15 innings in three starts for Rochester before getting hurt.

Cal Quantrill SP | ATL
Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Dealt with hamstring cramp Tuesday
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Quantrill dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during Tuesday's start against the Phillies, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Quantrill was seen grabbing at his hamstring after the Marlins recorded the final out in the top of the fourth inning. He came back out for the fifth but was pulled after hitting a batter and giving up a double. Quantrill had thrown only 74 pitches and allowed just one run to that point, although he was charged with an additional two runs after exiting. It's not clear how much the right-hander's cramping factored into McCullough's decision to remove the hurler, but the manager expects Quantrill to be ready to go for his next scheduled outing Tuesday in San Francisco.

Justin Wrobleski RP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Set to piggyback Sheehan
Wrobleski is expected to pitch multiple innings in relief Wednesday against the Padres behind starter Emmet Sheehan (elbow), Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Sheehan will return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 Dodgers debut Wednesday, but because he maxed out at 3.1 innings and 63 pitches over his four-start rehab assignment coming off his May 2024 Tommy John surgery, he'll have his workload monitored carefully. With Sheehan unlikely to cover the five innings he would need to qualify for a win, Wrobleski may be the Dodgers pitcher most likely to factor into any decision Wednesday. Wrobleski will be available on four days' rest and should be capable of working as long as the Dodgers need him to after he allowed one earned run and struck out five over 4.1 innings of bulk relief in his most recent appearance for the big club.

Mike Soroka RP | CHC
Nationals' Michael Soroka: Fans season-high nine in loss
Soroka (3-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Nationals fell 10-6 to the Rockies, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out nine.
The nine Ks were a season high for Soroka, who generated 30 called or swinging strikes among his 93 pitches (58 total strikes), while the quality start was his third of the year in nine trips to the mound. The right-hander also served up two homers, however, on a night when Colorado tied a franchise record with seven long balls. Keeping the ball in the yard remains an issue for Soroka -- he's been taken deep 10 times in only 48 innings this season, fueling a 5.06 ERA that is out of sync with his 1.13 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB. He seems unlikely to solve the problem in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend against the Dodgers.

Antonio Senzatela SP | COL
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Shaky in second win
Senzatela (2-10) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 10-6 victory over the Nationals. He failed to strike out a batter.
The veteran righty wasn't fooling anyone -- Senzatela generated only one swinging strike among his 83 pitches -- but Washington struggled to produce any offense while he was on the mound. The win ended an 0-7 run for Senzatela over his prior nine starts in which he'd limped to an 8.64 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and 26:19 K:BB in 41.2 innings, and while the end result was nice, his performance didn't exactly suggest he's turning things around. He lines up to make his next start at home this weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Bailey Falter SP | KC
Pirates' Bailey Falter: Hit hard in no-decision
Falter didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Three of the five hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including homers by Wenceel Perez and Javier Baez. Falter has avoided getting tagged with a loss since April 27, going 4-0 over his last nine trips to the mound while posting a stunning 1.99 ERA and 0.99 WHIP despite a lackluster 28:17 K:BB in 49.2 innings. He'll try to keep that streak going in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Rangers.

Cal Quantrill SP | ATL
Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Unravels in middle innings
Quantrill came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on four hits over four-plus innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.
The right-hander retired the first nine batters he faced, but things began to fall apart for Quantrill when he served up a solo shot to Trea Turner to lead off the fourth inning. After plunking Otto Kemp with a pitch and giving up a loud double to Brandon Marsh lead off the fifth, Quantrill got the hook after 74 pitches (42 strikes). He had yet to last more than five innings in a start this season, but the 30-year-old has been relatively effective since the beginning of May, allowing three earned runs or fewer in eight straight outings while posting a 3.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 36.2 innings. Quantrill will look for his first win since May 18 in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.
