Cincinnati optioned Stoudt to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Stoudt allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks over just three innings in a spot start Sunday versus Atlanta. The 25-year-old right-hander now carries a 9.90 ERA in 10 major-league innings (two starts, one relief appearance) for the season.

Quantrill (shoulder) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Akron.

Quantrill threw 58 pitches (38 strikes), so it seems likely he'll need at least one more rehab start to stretch out closer to a starter's workload. The right-hander has been on the injured list since June 2. Once he's ready to rejoin the major-league roster, one of Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen or Gavin Williams would likely be optioned out unless the Guardians opt to go with a six-man rotation to build in extra rest for their rookie pitchers.

Drohan was removed from his most recent start Sunday with Triple-A Worcester ahead of the fifth inning due to a calf cramp, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Drohan struck out a batter and allowed three hits and three walks over four scoreless innings before being lifted from the contest when he felt discomfort in his calf while warming up prior to the fifth inning. Fortunately for Drohan, his injury wasn't deemed to be anything too serious, and Worcester is still proceeding as though he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation in Buffalo later this week. The southpaw has posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 33:27 K:BB over 39.1 innings at Worcester since being promoted from Double-A Portland in mid-May.

Quintana (ribs) is expected to make one more rehab start before joining the Mets' rotation during a western road trip that begins July 4, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The southpaw had his most recent rehab outing delayed a couple days due to mild soreness on his right side, but Quintana looked healthy Sunday, throwing four innings for High-A Brooklyn and allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out five. If he stays on turn, the 34-year-old would make his final rehab start Friday, setting him up to be activated the following week -- though how the Mets plan to work him into the rotation isn't yet clear.

Lynch allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings Sunday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

The one run against Lynch came from a solo blast off the bat of Jose Siri in the third. The other five hits Lynch gave up all went for singles. He did register nine whiffs but had under five strikeouts for the fourth consecutive start. He's now allowed three earned runs or less in five of six starts this year and stands at a 3.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 36.1 innings. Lynch will hope to get back in the win column next weekend when the Dodgers come to town.

Rogers, who has a partial tear in his right (non-throwing) lat, hopes to have better clarity on his timeline after the All-Star break, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rogers said that his doctors told him they had never seen a non-throwing shoulder injury like his, and he has "a ways to go" even though his range of motion has improved. He is primarily doing lower-body work and whatever he can to keep his left arm strong for when he gets the all-clear to start throwing again. Given that he won't begin a throwing program until after the All-Star break at the earliest, it sounds like Rogers may not be ready to rejoin the big-league rotation until around August. As odd as it seems, his non-throwing shoulder is now the only concern, as his left biceps injury is in the rearview mirror.

Brito is listed as the Yankees' scheduled starting pitcher for Tuesday's game in Oakland.

Brito made a successful return to the big leagues following his call-up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Wednesday, as he stepped in to keep the Mariners off the scoreboard over 5.2 innings while allowing just three baserunners. He'll get a chance to build on that strong outing in a favorable matchup versus the 20-60 Athletics, the first of what will likely be two starts for the rookie right-hander this week. Brito tentatively lines up to make another start Sunday in St. Louis.

Seabold (arm) is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers at Coors Field.

Though Seabold missed his last turn through the rotation due to an unspecified right arm issue, the Rockies determined the injury wasn't significant enough to require a trip to the IL. Seabold apparently made it out of his weekend throwing session no worse for the wear, so he'll get the green light to make his 10th start of the season Tuesday. Seabold takes a 1-3 record, 5.88 ERA and 1.48 WHIP into the outing.

Burnes allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings Sunday against the Guardians. He did not factor into the decision.

Burnes gave up an early home run to Josh Naylor to put the Guardians ahead in the second and was able to keep them in check until he got a little wild in the sixth. Burnes allowed three hits, walked two and threw a wild pitch during a three-run inning and couldn't even make it through the frame. He's now surrendered a home run and at least seven hits in each of his last three starts and his ERA sits above a 4.00 (currently at 4.10) for the first time since late April. The 28-year-old has just one win since May 12 and will look to change his fortune in a road matchup against the Pirates next weekend.

Civale allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings Sunday against the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.

Four of the six hits and three of the four runs Civale gave up came in the third inning and the Brewers got to him once more in the fourth. He managed to get to six innings for a second consecutive start and was able to keep the ball in the park, but gave up more than two runs for the first time since he returned from injury June 2. Civale has been effective thus far, putting together a 3.18 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 39.2 innings and lines up to face the Cubs on the road next weekend.
