Williams (2-1) took the loss Monday against the Twins, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.

The 25-year-old righty fired just 68 pitches in this abbreviated outing. The Minnesota lineup jumped on Williams out the gate as Edouard Julien opened the game's scoring by cracking a leadoff homer. This poor effort piles on to a mixed season for Williams, who has pitched to a 5.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 28 innings. He is currently in line to make his next start at Toronto this weekend.

Canning (4-1) earned the win Monday at Washington, allowing four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The 28-year-old right-hander continued his resurgent season with this 90-pitch performance, generating 10 whiffs. Canning has been especially stingy of late, conceding just two runs over his last 16 innings (1.13 ERA) with a 1.25 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB. Overall, he's pitched to a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 31 innings. Canning is currently scheduled to make his next start at St. Louis this weekend.

Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers announced earlier Monday that a trip to the injured list appeared likely for Glasnow, and the club made the move official a short time later. Noah Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, though Ben Casparius appears to be one of the top candidates to replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

Williams (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

The Washington right-hander entered this contest on a roll, yielding just two runs across his previous 10 innings. After allowing three runs through the first five frames, Williams unraveled in the sixth inning and was pulled after walking consecutive batters. Colin Poche relieved Williams and conceded a three-run homer to Brandon Nimmo to tag two additional runs on the starter. Williams now sports an unsightly 5.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 30 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend.

Snell received an injection to assist in treating his left shoulder inflammation Monday, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.

This isn't a significant update on the southpaw, who was expected to receive an injection after dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder. However, it'll be worth keeping a close eye on how Snell feels in the days after the injection, as there isn't currently a firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to resume throwing.

Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that Glasnow is likely looking at a stint on the 15-day injured list, and he's now being evaluated by the club's medical staff for overall body soreness in addition to right shoulder soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It was initially reported that a trip to the injured list was merely a possibility for Glasnow, but further evaluation has revealed that a shut-down period is likely necessary. The 31-year-old departed Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, and the team is still working to determine the extent of the issue after it was revealed Monday that Glasnow is also dealing with overall body soreness.

The Orioles transferred Rodriguez to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Rodriguez began the season on the 15-day IL due to right elbow inflammation, but he was recently diagnosed with a mild right lat strain after being scratched from a scheduled bullpen session in mid-April. The plan is for Rodriguez to resume his throwing program in a couple of weeks, but his move to the 60-day IL means he's still far off on embarking on a rehab assignment.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Gomber (shoulder) has not thrown since making a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on March 28, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Gomber made one rehab start before being shut down with renewed left shoulder soreness. Black added that the southpaw is feeling better and is close to beginning a throwing program, but there's no timetable for him to return from the 60-day injured list.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil (lat) began a throwing program Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Gil's throwing progression had been pushed back because his right lat strain wasn't fully healed yet, but he played catch Sunday and felt fine a day later Monday. It will be a slow ramp-up for the right-hander, as Gil was shut down for two months. He won't be ready to rejoin the Yankees' rotation until at least June.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Stroman still has discomfort in his injured left knee, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Stroman has been shelved for more than two weeks with left knee inflammation and was cleared to play catch in mid-April. However, he's still experiencing lingering soreness and it's not clear when he might be ready to throw off a mound. Stroman appears to be multiple weeks away from a return.
