Bennett is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Currently in the midst of his second stint with the Red Sox of the season, Bennett has reached five innings in each of his first three MLB starts, but he's delivered poor ratios (5.28 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 4.6 K-BB%). He'll get another chance Wednesday to stake his claim to a more permanent stay in the Boston rotation, taking on a Blue Jays squad that has struggled against left-handed pitching this season (.292 wOBA, 27th in MLB).

Aldegheri is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

He'll be making a second straight turn in the rotation spot that previously belonged to Jack Kochanowicz (elbow), who is slated to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery in the near future. Aldegheri picked up his second win of the season in his previous start last Friday, working five innings and striking out four batters while yielding two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks. Over five appearances (two starts) for the Halos on the season, Aldegheri owns a 2.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB in 17 innings.

Lugo (concussion) has continued to take part in a throwing progression since being placed on the 7-day injured list Friday, MLB.com reports.

Though a CT scan came back clean after Lugo was forced out of his start last Wednesday against the Rangers when he was struck in the head by a line drive, the Royals deactivated him a couple days later after he developed a headache. Since he's not being shut down from throwing, Lugo seems to be making good progress in his recovery, but he'll still need to clear all phases of the concussion protocol before the Royals activate him. Lugo would appear to have a chance at being ready to make a start at some point during the Royals' upcoming three-game series with the Cardinals that runs from Thursday through Sunday.

The Royals optioned Spence to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was called up to make a spot start Monday against the Nationals, and he'll return to Omaha after surrendering six runs across four innings. Spencer has given up six runs in both of his big-league appearances this season and has also struggled to a 6.54 ERA across 42.2 innings at Triple-A.

Sullivan (illness) will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Rockies called Sullivan up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Friday to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. Despite being tasked with making his MLB debut in an extreme hitter-friendly venue in Las Vegas, Sullivan was able to keep the Athletics off the board for three innings while striking out three batters and allowing just three baserunners. The 23-year-old lefty ended up having his start cut short after falling ill, but he's since recovered from the ailment and performed well enough during his time on the mound to earn himself another turn through the rotation. Even though he excelled in his debut and will be pitching in a more favorable environment for his second start, Sullivan will still be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes after he posted underwhelming numbers over a larger sample at Triple-A (5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 50:19 K:BB in 54.2 innings).

Robberse (elbow) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Robberse has been cleared to pitch in games as he continues to work his way back from May 2025 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster over the offseason before being re-signed to a minor-league contract. Robberse should eventually join the Memphis rotation once he's deemed ready.

Tiedemann (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, MLB Pipeline reports.

It will be Tiedemann's first official game appearance in nearly two years, as he had Tommy John surgery in July 2024 and then had a setback with his elbow during spring training. The talented but injury-prone lefty has totaled just 140 innings in the minors since being drafted by Toronto in 2021. Tiedemann will eventually be assignment to Triple-A Buffalo following the conclusion of his rehab assignment, and he could help the Blue Jays out sometime after the All-Star break if all goes well.

Wrobleski (hamstring) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rays in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Wrobleski sustained a right hamstring contusion during his most recent start in Thursday's win over the Pirates, but manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence after the game the left-hander wouldn't need to miss a turn through the rotation. Roberts' prediction has come to pass, with Wrobleski seemingly being able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session with no complications. Though his 15.5 percent strikeout rate on the season has been one of the lowest marks among all starting pitchers, Wrobleski has delivered a 2.95 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 73.1 innings. He's earned some of his success by walking just 5.4 percent of the batters he's faced, but Wrobleski has been the beneficiary of a .243 BABIP and a 77.9 percent strand rate, both of which will be tough for him to sustain over the course of the season.

Jones (1-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Jones was hampered by the long ball, as he surrendered two-run homers to Nick Kurtz and Jeff McNeil in the second and fourth innings, respectively. The early returns for Jones since making his season debut May 29 have been lackluster, though a slow start from the 24-year-old is hardly surprising given that he's coming off missing all of 2025 due to right elbow surgery. The right-hander will carry a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 17.1 innings (four starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday on the road against the Rockies.

Ginn (5-3) earned the win Monday, allowing an unearned run on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out three.

Ginn didn't generate many strikeouts, but he handled the Pirates' offense well, with their lone run against him coming unearned in the fourth inning on the heels of a Zack Gelof error. Monday marked a nice rebound effort for Ginn, who was tagged for five runs in his previous outing against the Brewers, though that start came at the infamously hitter-friendly Las Vegas Ballpark. It has been a stellar campaign for the right-hander by all accounts, as he'll take a 2.91 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 68:32 K:BB across 77.1 innings (16 appearances) into his next start, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Angels.
