Verlander (pectoral) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Wednesday in Colorado, MLB.com reports.

On Friday, Verlander threw 35-to-40 pitches in a sim game at Oracle Park, and he'll presumably build on that workload while he faces hitters again Wednesday. If Verlander checks out fine physically following the upcoming sim game, he could be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list next week. Before landing on the shelf May 22 due to a right pec strain, Verlander went 0-3 with a 4.33 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 52 innings with the Giants.

Liberatore (fatigue) will start Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Liberatore was lifted early from his last outing against the Royals due to fatigue-related issues, but he never underwent imaging and will not miss a turn in the rotation. The left-hander will get an extra day of rest between starts before taking the ball in the series finale versus Toronto.

Roupp (4-4) picked up the win Sunday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Roupp notched his fourth quality start in his last five outings, but he allowed three earned runs for the first time since April 30. The 26-year-old tied his season low in strikeouts Sunday. In his last five starts, Roupp owns a 2-1 record with a 1.27 ERA and a 21:10 K:BB across 28.1 innings. He'll look to keep the ball rolling in his next start, which is expected to come against the Dodgers.

Strider (0-5) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks across six innings. He struck out five.

Strider has taken a loss in all five of his appearances this season, but Sunday's outing marked his first time completing six innings this year. The 26-year-old hasn't been consistently healthy since 2023, but he's now made four straight turns through Atlanta's rotation. He's still finding his footing though, owning a 5.85 ERA and a 19:10 K:BB over 20 innings. Fresh off a quality start, Strider is on track for a matchup with the lowly Rockies next weekend.

Burns is being promoted to Triple-A Louisville.

Burns will make the jump to Triple-A after posting an impressive 1.29 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 42 innings in eight starts with Double-A Chattanooga. The right-hander is not only one of the top prospects in the Reds' farm system, but one of the top prospects in all of baseball. It seems likely that Burns will make his major-league debut this summer, but he'll have to prove himself at one final level before doing so.

Dollander (2-6) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts over three innings.

Dollander worked a scoreless first inning before surrendering five runs across the second and third. The rookie increased his pitch count from 59 to 78 in his second start since returning from the injured list Tuesday, but he's now allowed five or more earned runs in four of his first 10 major-league outings. He'll carry a 6.85 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB across 44.2 innings into a road matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Megill (5-4) earned the win against the Rockies on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Megill cruised through four innings before allowing two runs in the fifth. He generated an impressive 14 whiffs on 82 pitches and was backed by an early outburst from the Mets' offense. On the year, the 29-year-old owns a 3.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB across 64.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Rays next weekend.

McGreevy (1-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

McGreevy allowed three runs in the second inning but was otherwise impressive, throwing 65 of 101 pitches for strikes and generating 10 whiffs. The 24-year-old has posted a 3.09 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB through two starts against tough lineups in the Mets and Dodgers. He's slated to face the Brewers on the road next weekend.

Kershaw (1-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Kershaw opened with four scoreless innings before giving up a run in the fifth. The veteran southpaw generated 12 whiffs on 82 pitches and did not issue a walk for the first time in five starts this season. He'll carry a 4.35 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 20.2 innings into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Singer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Singer gave up runs in the second and third innings before exiting in a 2-2 tie after just 77 pitches. According to Jeff Wallner of MLB.com, the 28-year-old was pulled after being struck on his throwing arm by a line drive in the fourth, though Singer downplayed the move as precautionary. He'll carry a 4.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 56:29 K:BB across 68.2 innings into a road matchup with the Tigers next weekend.
