Woodruff (shoulder) confirmed that he will return from the 15-day injured list Monday to start the Brewers' series opener in Cincinnati, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Manager Pat Murphy had already indicated that Woodruff would rejoin the rotation for the Brewers' upcoming series versus the Reds, and the right-hander has now revealed that he'll take the hill for the first of three games in Cincinnati. Woodruff will be making his first appearance for Milwaukee since April 30, when he was lifted from a start against the Diamondbacks after developing shoulder inflammation. Over the course of two minor-league rehab starts, Woodruff was able to get stretched out to 5.1 innings and 82 pitches, so he should be capable of handling something close to a normal workload Monday.

Giolito won't start Sunday's game against the Rangers but could work behind opener Wandy Peralta.

The Padres haven't made anything official regarding who will pitch after Peralta, but Giolito is a logical bet given that he followed an opener in his previous outing, with Sunday lining up as his turn through the rotation. The veteran right-hander hasn't exactly been reliable in six appearances for San Diego, as he has a 4.56 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 16:21 K:BB over 25.2 innings.

Cantillo threw a major-league high 44 curveballs in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Cantillo used the pitch 45 percent of the time, easily the most of any start, and Houston was just 2-for-22 against it. Entering Saturday, the curve was his third most-used pitch (20 percent) behind the four-seamer (40.4) and changeup (28.2). Whatever pitch the left-hander throws, the highlight of Saturday's eight-inning outing was the ability to throw strikes. Cantillo threw 71 of them among his 98 pitches for a 72.4 percent strike rate, the second best of his big league career. "That's exactly what we've talked about [with] attacking the zone," manager Stephen Vogt said. "That was one of the best games we've seen him pitch."

The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds in New York.

Rodriguez is expected to make just one start for the big club before heading back to Triple-A, as manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that he simply wanted to build in an extra day of rest for the other members of the rotation. The 22-year-old righty will be making his fourth appearance of the season for New York after turning in a 4.15 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 6:9 K:BB in 13 innings over his first three big-league starts.

Cabrera will make his MLB debut Sunday in a start against the Twins, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

This news confirms what was speculated Saturday, when Arizona added Cabrera to its taxi squad. The Diamondbacks are in need of starters after placing Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) on the injured list. Cabrera features a six-pitch mix, per Diamondbacks farm director Chris Slivka, and the 6-foot-3 right-hander has improved his command and control while upping his strikeout rate from 19.8 percent in 2025 to 28.7 percent this year in 12 starts (nine at Double-A Amarillo and three for Reno).

Bradley (6-3) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Bradley pitched well and got plenty of support from the Twins' offense, exiting with a 16-2 lead. The right-hander snapped a four-game winless stretch in which he had allowed 17 runs over 19.2 innings. For the season, Bradley has a 4.11 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 84:32 K:BB across 76.2 innings through 14 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, which should be a favorable matchup.

Gallen (3-6) allowed nine runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Twins.

Gallen's season has been a lot of one step forward and two steps back. This was his worst outing in terms of runs allowed, though the Twins generated just two doubles and a triple off him. Gallen is now at a 6.10 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB over 79.2 innings through 16 starts. Under normal circumstances, his ongoing struggles would likely put his rotation spot at risk, but the Diamondbacks have already lost Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) to the injured list this week, leaving the team short on starters. Gallen is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in St. Louis.

Yamamoto (7-5) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Orioles.

This was the first time Yamamoto allowed multiple runs since he was tagged for five runs over 6.1 frames in a May 12 starts versus the Giants. He had given up just four runs over 35.2 innings across his previous five starts, but the Orioles were able to get to him in the second and fourth innings of this contest. Yamamoto is up to 11 quality starts in 14 outings this season, pitching to a 2.65 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 86:17 K:BB over 91.2 innings. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Padres.

Rogers (4-7) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Rogers was locked in for his best outing of the season and his first scoreless showing since Opening Day. He threw 60 of 96 pitches for strikes in the dominant performance against a tough opponent. Rogers has given up just six runs and just one homer over 23.1 innings in June, but overall he has a 5.30 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB over 73 innings through 14 starts this season. After a six-start losing streak from mid-April to late May, the left-hander has a 2.97 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in his past five outings.

Early (6-5) allowed one run on two hits, two walks and three hit batsmen while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Saturday.

Early threw just 57 of 98 pitches for strikes in this outing. Prior to Saturday, he plunked just six batters all season. Early had gone three starts without completing six frames to begin June, losing all of those games while allowing 12 runs over 14.2 innings. He's now at a 3.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 79:31 K:BB through 81.2 innings over 15 starts this season. The left-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.
