Stone (10-5) allowed one run on three hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers.

Stone was sharp, throwing 61 of 86 pitches for strikes. The lone run on his line came from a William Contreras solo shot in the third inning. The long ball remains a problem for Stone -- he's allowed at least one homer in each of his last seven starts, and this was just the third time in that span he's been able to complete five innings. He's now at a 3.63 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB through 121.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Stone's next start is projected to be at St. Louis.

Walker (3-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Making his first start since June 21, Walker ran into trouble early, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning before giving up a solo homer to Jake Burger in the third. It's been a tough year thus far for the 32-year-old Walker -- he doesn't have a win since May 11 while pitching to a 5.68 ERA with a 1.51 WHIP and 48:24 K:BB across 11 starts (57 innings). He'll look to get on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus the Nationals.

Irvin (9-10) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings

Irvin allowed two runs over his first three innings but rebounded with three scoreless frames to earn his second quality start in five chances since the All-Star break. It was an encouraging effort after the righty surrendered nine earned runs over his previous two outings, but he did allow his 11th homer since the calendar flipped to July. On the season, the 27-year-old owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 122:34 K:BB across 145 innings and lines up to face the Phillies this weekend.

Bellozo (2-1) earned the win Tuesday over the Phillies, allowing four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out four.

It was an impressive performance from Bellozo against a potent Phillies lineup -- the 24-year-old right-hander has now won back-to-back starts while delivering 12.2 scoreless innings. Bellozo doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he's shown an ability to limit hard contact early in his MLB career. Bellozo's ERA is down to 2.28 with a 0.94 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB through his first five outings (27.2 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home in his next start.

Fedde (8-6) took the loss against the Reds on Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Fedde generated plenty of weak contact, but he registered only six whiffs on 89 pitches and was burned by two home runs. He has failed to log a quality start in three outings with the Cardinals, yielding 10 earned runs over 16 innings. On the season, the 31-year-old owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 120:38 K:BB across 137.2 frames and lines up for a home matchup with the Brewers next week.

Greene (9-4) earned the win against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing one run one four hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Greene dominated until yielding a solo homer to Nolan Arenado in the seventh inning. Since July 6, Greene has gone 4-0 with seven consecutive quality starts, including four seven-inning efforts. The 25-year-old owns a 2.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 162:53 K:BB across 143.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

Yamamoto (triceps) threw about 40 pitches during a bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to face hitters Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The right-hander continues to build toward a rehab assignment, and Friday's session could go a long way toward clearing him for game action. Yamamoto will likely require multiple outings in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers, so he shouldn't be expected to be reinstated until at least the end of August.

Cavalli (elbow) reported to the Nationals' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Cavalli was sent to resume his minor-league rehab assignment at High-A Wilmington on July 26 but never appeared in a game for the team. Now, he'll join the Nationals' FCL affiliate. Manager Dave Martinez said that Cavalli will be ramping up his arm in Florida with the hopes of returning to a mound before the end of the season. It's unclear what resulted in the multi-week setback for Cavalli, who was already behind schedule after an illness forced him to halt his rehab assignment in late June. Cavalli shouldn't be expected back for several weeks.

Suarez (back) is tentatively lined up to rejoin the Phillies' rotation during their Aug. 23-25 series in Kansas City, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Suarez threw a simulated game Tuesday, which was the first time he's faced hitters since he went down with lower-back soreness in late July. He'll face hitters again Sunday, either in another simulated setting or in a rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. If Suarez comes out of that with no issues, he will be cleared to rejoin the rotation the following weekend.

Scott (elbow) played catch Monday and Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

It's the first bit of throwing he's done since he was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow in late July. Scott threw 35 fastballs from 75 feet Tuesday and will progress to 90 feet in his next throwing session. There's no timetable for the rookie right-hander's return, but it will take multiple weeks for him to become game-ready.
