Ross (2-5) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings, taking the loss versus Atlanta on Tuesday.

Ross missed over two months with a back strain, and he was a little rusty in his return. He threw 61 of 87 pitches for strikes but gave up four runs in the third inning and a solo home run to Jarred Kelenic in the fourth. Ross now has a 4.98 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB through 47 innings over 10 starts this season. He is not guaranteed to stay in the rotation, as the Brewers traded for Frankie Montas and have also gotten good results from Colin Rea and Tobias Myers in Ross's absence.

Warren did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Warren pitched better than his final line would indicate. He got off to a rough start in his major-league debut, allowing a run in the first inning before surrendering a three-run homer to Austin Hays in the second -- however, the 25-year-old right-hander would hold the Phillies scoreless over his final 3.1 frames while striking out the side against the heart of Philadelphia's order in the fifth. Warren figures to head back to Triple-A with Gerrit Cole (general fatigue) expected to return this weekend, though he should be on the short list of potential call-ups should the Yankees need pitching reinforcements down the stretch.

General manager Dana Brown said Tuesday that McCullers (forearm) has not yet resumed throwing, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

A setback in McCullers' recovery has prevented him from throwing since July 9, and although he is not dealing with any structural damage, his progress remains slow. Brown noted that the right-hander may still be able to pitch for the Astros in September, but he won't have a clear timetable until he is cleared to resume his throwing program.

Munoz will start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

After getting roughed up for six earned runs in five innings in a no-decision against the Orioles this past Thursday, Munoz was sent to Triple-A Jacksonville a day later. He didn't end up making any appearances for Jacksonville and will step right back into the Miami rotation after being recalled Tuesday in the wake of Trevor Rogers being traded to the Orioles. With six Miami starting pitchers currently residing on the 60-day injured list, Munoz should build up some job security if he's able to come through with a credible performance against the Rays.

Daniel is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies in Anaheim.

The Halos brought Daniel up from Triple-A Salt Lake this past Friday, but after he wasn't needed in relief for any of the club's ensuing four contests, he'll step into the rotation spot that briefly belonged to Kenny Rosenberg. Daniel owns a 5.82 ERA over 17 innings in the majors this season, but his underlying metrics (3.69 SIERA, 4.35 xERA, 18.8 K-BB%) offer hope that he'll turn in better surface numbers moving forward.

Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to a knee injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera reportedly tweaked his left knee while covering first base in the fifth inning, causing him to be pulled two pitches into the sixth frame. He's slated to undergo imaging Wednesday, at which point a clearer picture regarding his status for his next start will emerge. Prior to his removal, the 26-year-old gave up two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

Bassitt (8-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out three.

Bassitt's hit a snag of late -- the right-hander has failed to make it through six innings in four of his last five starts, as he's struggled to a 7.01 ERA in that span. Overall, Bassitt's ERA is up to 4.02 on the year with a 1.45 WHIP and 115:48 K:BB across 22 starts (123 innings). He'll look to get on track in his next start, currently scheduled as a home rematch with the Orioles early next week.

Burnes (11-4) earned the win Tuesday over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Burnes has been a rock for the Orioles this season -- he's now recorded six straight quality starts and 16 in his last 17 outings. Burnes' ERA now sits at 2.47, the second-best mark in the majors, with a 1.04 WHIP and 128:33 K:BB across 22 starts (138.2 innings). The 29-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a two-start week -- Burnes is scheduled to face the Guardians on the road this weekend.

The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Adon owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.66 WHIP through 66.2 innings in the minors this season, though he will be called upon nonetheless to give the Nationals another fresh arm in the bullpen. He's appeared in just two MLB games in 2024, allowing three earned runs in five innings while striking out three batters and walking three.

The Pirates selected Woodford's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Woodford was cut loose by the White Sox in June after allowing 10 earned runs in just 8.1 innings in the big leagues. However, since signing a minor-league deal with the Pirates in June, the 27-year-old righty has put up a 2.29 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 35.1 frames. It's unclear what role he'll have upon arriving in the majors, but he'll most likely work as a long reliever. The Pirates designated Ryder Ryan for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Woodford.
