Dollander (forearm) threw live batting practice Tuesday at Wrigley Field, MLB.com reports.

Dollander performed well during the session and came away without any setbacks, according to interim manager Warren Schaeffer. There's no clear timeline for Dollander's return to action, though it's positive that he was able to resume throwing only eight days into his stint on the injured list.

Feltner didn't make his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday after his back tightened up, MLB.com reports.

Feltner was supposed to begin his rehab assignment this week, but he is now considered day-to-day. He hasn't pitched in game action since April 28, so he'll likely need several rehab appearances before being activated.

Irvin (5-1) allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over five innings, earning the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Arizona scored four times in the first inning and twice more in the third, but Washington's offense provided plenty of support. Irvin has won three starts in a row despite matching his season high in runs allowed in this outing. He's maintained a 3.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 73.1 innings across 12 starts in 2025. The right-hander is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.

Quantrill (3-5) picked up the loss Friday after throwing five innings, surrendering two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven in the 2-0 loss to the Giants.

Quantrill pitched well Friday, but he needed to be nearly perfect to avoid the loss since the Marlins' offense didn't give him any help. The 30-year-old has been unable to find a way to go deep into games consistently this season, recording an out in the sixth inning just once in his 11 starts. Regardless, he's given the Marlins a chance to win games, especially lately. The right-hander has allowed just four runs over his last three starts spanning 13.1 innings (2.70 ERA) while picking up 15 strikeouts.

Liberatore (3-4) took the loss Friday against Texas after allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

It was a rare dud for Liberatore, who matched his season worst in runs allowed and gave up greater than two runs for the first time since April 7. Friday also marked just the third time all season that the southpaw yielded greater than two runs, but he still managed to toss at least five frames for the 10th time in 11 starts this year. Liberatore is still in possession of a 3.08 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a superb 56:9 K:BB across 64.1 innings prior to his next scheduled outing versus the Royals, who own a weak .614 OPS against left-handed pitching through their first 57 games of the year.

Holmes (3-4) took the loss Friday against Boston after allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out nine.

Holmes was aiming for his fourth consecutive quality start and sixth of the year, but an RBI double by Abraham Toro brought the hurler's night to a close in the sixth inning. Holmes did tie a season high in punchouts, and it marked just the third time in his last eight outings that he gave up more than two runs. The 29-year-old right-hander holds a dependable 3.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 64:27 K:BB over 64.1 innings ahead of a difficult task his next time out versus the Diamondbacks, who have a .799 OPS versus right-handed pitching through their first 56 games of the season.

Henriquez (foot) kicked off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, independent writer Howard Cole reports.

Henriquez looked a bit rusty Thursday in his first rehab outing, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning. The right-handed reliever remains on the 60-day IL after suffering a left foot injury early this spring. Henriquez got his first taste of major-league action last year, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings during the regular season before allowing four runs over five frames across three playoff appearances.

Freeland (0-8) took the loss against the Mets on Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four across six innings.

Freeland put the Rockies behind early when he yielded a leadoff home run to Francisco Lindor. Freeland gave up additional runs in the third and fourth, including a Starling Marte solo homer. The 32-year-old southpaw was able to limit the damage to three runs and came away with his fourth quality start of the season, but he couldn't avoid the loss as the Rockies were limited to just two runs. Freeland hasn't recorded a win since September of 2024, and through 12 starts this season he holds a 5.72 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB across 61.1 innings. He'll look to get into the win column for the first time in 2025 in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against Miami.

Priester (2-2) earned the win against the Phillies on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks without recording a strikeout over six innings.

DL Hall tossed three scoreless frames as the opener before Priester delivered six strong innings to close out the game. It was an interesting outing for the 24-year-old, who needed just 71 pitches to cover six innings and didn't issue a walk for the first time all season. However, he also generated just six whiffs and failed to record a strikeout for the first time this year. He owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 32:23 K:BB across 50.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next week.

Walker (2-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over four innings.

Walker allowed two runs in the first inning and was charged with two more after failing to record an out in the fifth. While he did generate 11 whiffs, he threw only 53 of 89 pitches for strikes and was unable to complete five innings for the fourth time in eight starts this season. The 32-year-old owns a 3.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB across 43.1 innings between starting and relief roles. If he gets another shot in the rotation, it should come on the road against the Blue Jays next week.
