Fedde allowed three hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Fedde's control issues returned Wednesday after he pitched a six-hit shutout with no walks versus the Nationals last Friday. The right-hander didn't pay for his wildness in this start, which he finished with 93 pitches (51 strikes). Fedde lowered his ERA to 3.44, but his WHIP is elevated at 1.30, and he's not inspiring much confidence with a 32:25 K:BB over 52.1 innings. He's never been particularly reliant on strikeouts, but he's historically had trouble being any better than mediocre when carrying a BB/9 over 4.0. He's lined up for a tough matchup at home versus the Tigers next week.

Luzardo (4-0) allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

Luzardo gave up the opening run of the game, a Jordan Walker RBI single, in the seventh inning, but the Phillies answered with two runs of their own a half-inning later. This was Luzardo's third time completing seven innings this season, and he's yet to pitch less than five frames. He's also given up no more than three runs in all nine of his starts this year, which puts him at a 2.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 57:15 K:BB across 54 innings. Luzardo's next start is projected to be at Colorado.

The Marlins reinstated Weathers (forearm) from the injured list prior to his start against the Cubs on Wednesday.

A forearm strain has kept Weathers on the injured list since the beginning of the season. After making three rehab starts in the minors and turning in a 1.69 ERA across 10.2 innings, the 25-year-old southpaw is now ready to make his season debut for Miami. He'll be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Cubs offense that currently ranks fourth in MLB with a .768 OPS, and he isn't expected to pitch very deep into Wednesday's contest after throwing just 57 pitches during his final rehab outing. Anthony Veneziano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Henderson (2-0) will remain in the majors for now, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The right-hander earned the win Wednesday in Cleveland after giving up two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings.

Henderson delivered a quality start in his MLB debut in April, and he pitched well again in a spot start Wednesday. Murphy did not fully commit to Henderson making another start, but it seems likely he'll stick in the rotation and take the mound next week at home versus the Orioles.

Civale (hamstring) tossed five shutout innings in his second rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Civale allowed two hits, walked one and struck out two while getting his pitch count up to 60. Per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team will get together and make a decision on whether Civale will make another rehab start or rejoin the big-league rotation next week. The veteran righty has been out since late March with a strained left hamstring.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy confirmed Wednesday that Myers is likely to start Saturday versus the Twins in place of the injured Jose Quintana (shoulder), Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Myers was recalled from Triple-A Nashville earlier Wednesday, three days after being optioned. The right-hander has collected a 3.86 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB across 16.1 innings covering five starts with the Brewers after missing the start of the season due to an oblique issue. Myers' leash could be short, as Aaron Civale (hamstring) is due back soon and Quintana and Brandon Woodruff (ankle) might not be far behind.

Lara made his debut for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, working a scoreless inning of relief with one walk and one strikeout.

Atlanta kept the flame-throwing right-hander in the rotation at Double-A Columbus to begin the season, but an 11.21 ERA and 19 walks in 17.2 innings may have finally settled the question of whether Lara would be better suited to the bullpen. Per Gwinnett broadcaster Dave Lezotte, Lara topped out at 101.1 miles per hour with his fastball in his Triple-A debut -- the fastest pitch thrown by a Gwinnett pitcher since velocity readings became available in 2023. On the other hand, only five of his 11 pitches found the strike zone, so the shift to a relief role hasn't solved his control issues. If Lara can harness his stuff a little better, he could be a high-leverage option for the big-league bullpen later this season given his dominant fastball/slider combination.

Double-A Hartford activated Sullivan (hip) on Tuesday, and he's listed as the team's scheduled starter for Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday with Binghamton.

Sullivan is ready to make his 2025 debut for the Double-A club after he was delayed to begin the season while completing his recovery from hip surgery. He was cleared to join Hartford after making two rehab starts between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Single-A Fresno. He built up to four innings in his most recent outing last Thursday in the California League, striking out two while allowing no runs on three hits and no walks.

The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Myers was just optioned Sunday but is eligible to be recalled because he's taking the active roster spot of an injured player in lefty Jose Quintana (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander is likely to slide into Quintana's rotation slot this weekend against the Twins. Myers holds a 3.86 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB across 16.1 innings covering five starts with the Brewers this season.

The Brewers placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Quintana experienced soreness in his pitching shoulder after his last start. While the Brewers had seemed optimistic about Quintana's ability to start this weekend on a few extra days of rest, the club has ultimately decided to put the southpaw on the IL. Quintana will be eligible for activation May 26, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready on that date. Tobias Myers has been recalled and will likely take Quintana's spot in the rotation.
