Mize (10-4) earned the win Monday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

The Detroit right-hander worked around three solo homers in this 67-pitch performance to reach double-digit wins for the first time in his five-year career. Mize also managed to notch his first quality start of the second half, marking his seventh total for the season. Through 100.1 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB while conceding 15 home runs. Mize currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels this weekend.

Lodolo left Monday's game against the Cubs in the second inning due to a blister on his left index finger, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Lodolo has dealt with blister issues previously in his career, per Wittenmyer, though it's unclear how long this current injury will keep him sidelined. The team will presumably monitor the left hander closely over the next few days to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted. Lodolo struck out one batter over 1.2 perfect innings prior to his departure.

Lodolo exited his start Monday against the Cubs due to an undisclosed injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. He struck out one across 1.2 perfect innings before exiting.

The nature of the injury that forced Lodolo from the game isn't clear, but the Reds' team trainer appeared to be examining the southpaw's pitching hand, which could indicate that the hurler was dealing with a blister. The team should have an update on Lodolo after the game.

Lorenzen (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lorenzen landed on the 15-day injured list prior to the All-Star break due to an oblique strain. He was cleared to throw bullpen sessions last week, and he is ready to take the next step in his throwing program by embarking on a rehab assignment. Lorenzen posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:29 K:BB across 99.2 innings prior to his injury.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Greene (groin) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.

Greene tossed 66 pitches in his third rehab start Sunday, allowing two runs (zero earned) with seven strikeouts over 3.1 innings. He will get stretched out to around 80 pitches Friday in what is likely to be his final rehab outing before rejoining the Reds' rotation. Greene hasn't pitched for Cincinnati since early June because of a nagging right groin strain.

Olson will not require surgery to repair his injured right shoulder, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The hurler is still awaiting final word on his latest medical evaluation before a path for his rehab is determined, but the good news is that surgery will not be necessary. Olson has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, but he hopes to be available at some point in October if the Tigers make a postseason run.

Roupp (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Roupp is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list Aug. 6, and while he will not be ready on that date, it shouldn't take much longer. The right-hander has missed the last two weeks of action with right elbow inflammation.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Rodriguez is scheduled to undergo right elbow debridement surgery early next week and will miss the rest of the season, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

On a positive note, Rodriguez won't be getting Tommy John surgery or any sort of procedure to address ligament damage, as the debridement surgery is designed to prevent future impingement issues in his elbow. Nevertheless, Rodriguez's health record is starting to become a major concern for his long-term outlook, as the 25-year-old also missed extensive time last season due to a lat strain and hasn't made an appearance at the big-league level since July 31, 2024. A firmer timeline for Rodriguez's recovery should be established once surgery is completed, but the right-hander will have a chance at being ready to go for the start of the 2026 season if all goes smoothly during the rehab process.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Schwellenbach (elbow) has yet to resume throwing, and the right-hander appears unlikely to return this season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Schwellenbach is a little more than a month removed from suffering a small fracture in his pitching elbow. While Atlanta has yet to officially rule the right-hander out for the season, he's without a timeline to resume throwing, and he'll need extended time to be built back up once he picks up a baseball. With Atlanta already essentially out of the playoff picture, the club has little incentive to push Schwellenbach to return in September.

Lopez (shoulder) recently resumed playing catch but remains without a timeline to return from the 60-day injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander underwent arthroscopic surgery April 1 and was cleared to start throwing again after the All-Star break, but he remains in the early stages of his rehab program. Lopez still appears to have a shot at returning before the end of the season, but if he doesn't advance to throwing off a mound within the next week or two, he likely won't have enough time to get stretched back out for a starting role. Pitching out of the bullpen in September could be an option, however.
