Meyer (3-5) took the loss after allowing five runs, four of them earned, on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five through five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

Meyer discovered a new worst enemy during Monday's start, surrendering two home runs to Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, as part of a tough outing. The right-hander has struggled to keep the ball in the yard lately as he's surrendered nine home runs over his last seven starts. The 26-year-old has allowed at least five runs in five of those seven appearances. Meyer's next scheduled start is a Sunday matinee road battle at the Rays.

Marquez (2-7) picked up the win after allowing four runs, three of them earned, on nine hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

It was a tough first two innings for Marquez, where he allowed all four of his runs, but he settled in after that and didn't allow a run despite traffic in each inning. The 30-year-old has strung together three solid starts in a row now, allowing just six earned runs over 18 innings of work (3.00 ERA). The right-hander is lined up to face the Mets on Sunday for his next start.

Cannon is expected to be evaluated for a lower-back injury over the next few days, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He took his seventh loss of the season Monday against the Tigers, surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings.

Cannon did his best to push through the back issue, but it was evident he didn't have his best stuff. "Bothered me a little bit out there, but I chose to go out there and try to compete, work through it a little bit," said the 24-year-old after the appearance, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "We'll kind of assess in the coming days and see if we can figure out a solution." It's currently unclear if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation, which would tentatively line up for Saturday against the Royals.

Shields (undisclosed) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Monday, per MiLB's transactions log.

Shields was placed on the 60-day injured list March 19 due to an undisclosed injury, so he'll likely need at least a few appearances to get acclimated before returning to Double-A Somerset. He turned in a 3.12 ERA with a 65:21 K:BB across 52.0 innings a season ago with the Patriots.

Smith-Shawver is meeting with orthopedic surgeon Keith Meister on Thursday and is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery later in the week, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Shawver has officially been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow, though the team is still awaiting confirmation that he'll require Tommy John surgery. Once he meets with Dr. Meister, the right-hander will presumably go under the knife shortly after in an effort to begin his rehab as quickly as possible for a potential return during the second half of the 2026 campaign.

Manaea (oblique) threw 29 pitches in a live bullpen session Monday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

The Mets will wait to see how Manaea feels following his latest bullpen to determine whether he's ready to embark on a rehab assignment. He's managed to throw several side sessions over the last few weeks as he continues to make his way back from a right oblique strain.

Verlander (pectoral) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Verlander is continuing to work back from a right pectoral strain, and he's set to throw another bullpen after tossing a 40-pitch side session May 27. If the right-hander is able to make it through the bullpen without any issues, he'll be set to face batters later in the week, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, and the club could then consider activating him at some point over the weekend.

Glasnow (shoulder) continues to play catch, but body soreness has slowed his progress, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Glasnow threw a bullpen session May 23, which ultimately resulted in some body soreness for the right-hander. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since late April with right shoulder inflammation, and the team is still trying to figure out how and when to start ramping him back up. Glasnow was transferred to the 60-day IL on Saturday and he's not eligible to be activated until June 27, but the likelihood of him returning to action then feels slim.

Hoglund was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a left hip impingement.

Hoglund was torched for eight runs on 10 hits in his previous start Saturday, though it's unclear if he suffered the injury during this outing or if this is an issue he's been dealing with for some time. Elvis Alvarado was promoted to the big leagues in one of the team's corresponding moves, but another move is presumably in the works considering Alvarado hasn't made a start this year.

Gomber (shoulder) will resume a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Gomber came down with soreness in his pitching shoulder during spring training and then had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment in late March when the discomfort resurfaced. However, the southpaw is now ready to give it another try. He could rejoin the Rockies' rotation later this month if all goes well.
