Miles Mikolas SP | STL
Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Fans seven in losing effort
Mikolas (4-4) took the loss in Sunday's contest at Milwaukee. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings with seven strikeouts.
After conceding 13 earned runs in 15 innings across his last three starts, the St. Louis right-hander bounced back in this performance to tally his fifth quality start of the season. The Milwaukee lineup did all of their damage against Mikolas in the fourth inning when Christian Yelich popped a solo homer and Drew Avans hit a sacrifice fly. Mikolas now sports a 4.35 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 72.1 total frames. The 36-year-old is projected to make his next start at home against the Reds next weekend.

Quinn Priester SP | MIL
Brewers' Quinn Priester: Quality start in fifth win
Priester (5-2) tallied the win Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.
The 24-year-old secured his third quality start with this 88-pitch performance. Priester, who has been fluctuating between starting and being the bulk reliever, has been impressive across his last eight appearances. Over that span dating back to May 7, the Milwaukee right-hander has pitched to a 2.40 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB in 44.1 innings. Priester currently lines up to make his next appearance at Minnesota next weekend.

Wade Miley SP | CIN
Reds' Wade Miley: Allows two runs vs. Tigers
Miley did not factor into the decision Sunday against Detroit, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
It was a strong outing overall for Miley, with both of the Tigers' runs coming on a pair of solo homers. After allowing four runs over two innings in a relief appearance to start his season, Miley has given up just five runs over 10 innings in his subsequent two starts. The veteran left-hander is currently scheduled to face the Cardinals at home next week in his next outing.

Anthony DeSclafani RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Anthony DeSclafani: Lands in Arizona
DeSclafani signed a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
The right-hander recently opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees and was able to quickly secure a big-league contract. DeSclafani last pitched in the majors in 2023 with the Giants and had a 4.88 ERA across 99.2 innings. He posted similar numbers in five starts at Triple-A with the Yankees, finishing with a 4.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 20 innings. Expect the 35-year-old to work out of the bullpen as a multi-inning relief option to begin his time with Arizona.

Carson Palmquist SP | COL
Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Moving into rotation
The Rockies recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
He was just optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but Palmquist will rejoin the Rockies in short order and reclaim a spot in the rotation after Kyle Freeland (back) was placed on the 15-day IL. Palmquist will start Monday on the road against the Nationals, and he'll tentatively line up for a second start later in the week versus the Diamondbacks at Coors Field. Though he's regarded as one of the better pitching prospects in a thin system, he went 0-4 with a 7.77 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over his first five starts with Colorado and won't make for an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Kyle Freeland SP | COL
Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Shelved with stiff back
The Rockies placed Freeland on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lower-back stiffness.
Freeland didn't seem to be dealing with any physical issues while turning in his third consecutive quality start Wednesday, so the back injury may have cropped up during his between-starts bullpen session. The lefty's stint on the IL will be backdated to Thursday, and he could be ready for reinstatement when first eligible June 27. The Rockies called up Carson Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Freeland's spot in the rotation.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Moved to 60-day IL
The Rockies transferred Feltner (back) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Feltner made his last start for the Rockies on April 28 before being shut down due to back spasms. The right-hander was initially expected to be in line for a brief stay on the IL, but his return date was pushed back when he experienced back tightness leading up to a rehab start in late May. Feltner has since resumed throwing bullpen sessions at the team's spring training complex in Arizona, but he has yet to resume facing hitters and will likely need to make multiple rehab starts before returning to the big-league rotation, perhaps shortly before the All-Star break.

Austin Gomber SP | COL
Rockies' Austin Gomber: Reinstated ahead of start
The Rockies reinstated Gomber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in Atlanta.
Gomber will be making his 2025 debut after suffering a left shoulder injury in spring training and then experiencing a setback during a March 28 rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque. He was cleared to resume his rehab assignment June 4, and after covering four innings in starts with Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque, Gomber is ready to slot back into the Colorado rotation. The southpaw tossed 69 pitches during his most recent appearance Tuesday and could be capped at around 80 or 90 pitches Sunday.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Heading to Arizona for rehab
Greene (groin/back) will head to Goodyear (Ariz.) for rehab and treatment, MLB.com reports.
A recent MRI confirmed Greene has a Grade 1 groin strain, and the right-hander was given an epidural for the back. Grade 1 is the mildest of the groin strains, which might indicate a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list, but the back issue has an undetermined recovery time. His return could push out to early July.

Chase Dollander SP | COL
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Suffers seventh loss
Dollander (2-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out four.
Dollander allowed plenty of baserunners but managed to complete six innings for the second time in 11 big-league starts while keeping Colorado within striking distance. Like the rest of the pitching staff, the rookie has endured significant struggles this season, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 50.2 innings.
