Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Greene (leg) will have his next start pushed back a day, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

In fact, all members of the Reds' starting rotation will get an additional day of rest on the next turn through. Levi Stoudt is set to make his MLB debut in a spot start Wednesday versus the Rays and Luke Weaver (forearm) will be activated from the IL to pitch Thursday against the Pirates, allowing for the schedule maneuvering. Greene took a comebacker off his right tibia Monday but X-rays turned up negative for any structural damage. He still has a good chance to pitch this weekend.

Miller will be promoted by the Athletics and could make his major-league debut as soon as Wednesday against the Cubs, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Miller struck out 11 over five no-hit innings in his last start with Triple-A Las Vegas and has a 19:0 K:0 across 8.2 frames between Las Vegas and Double-A Midland this season. The 24-year-old has only 28.2 pro innings under his belt, having missed most of last season with a shoulder injury. Miller is healthy now, though, and has plenty of upside with a nasty slider and fastball that hits triple digits regularly. Oakland will surely be careful with his workload, but he warrants a speculative add.

The Reds will call up Stoudt from Triple-A Louisville to start Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

Luke Weaver (forearm) had been expected to come off the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday, but he's apparently not ready to do so. As a result, Stoudt, who holds a career minor-league ERA of 4.11 and has issued nine walks in 11 innings (three starts) this season at Triple-A, will be called upon for what will likely be a spot start. He's an unappealing fantasy streaming option for Wednesday's emergency assignment versus one of baseball's top teams.

Suarez (forearm) is set to throw live batting practice Tuesday in Chicago, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Suarez is currently traveling with the Phillies and is expected to complete two live BP sessions (or simulated games) before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 27-year-old left-hander is probably steering toward a 2023 debut in early May as he builds up his pitch count. He's been on the IL all month after developing forearm inflammation around the third week of spring training.

Gausman (1-2) took the loss against the Astros on Monday, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Gausman served up two-run doubles to Jose Abreu and Corey Julks before Jake Meyers crushed a three-run homer to give Houston a 7-0 lead in the first inning. The veteran right-hander was able to get out of the inning, but he dug Toronto too big of a hole, as Houston cruised to victory behind Cristian Javier. After allowing just three runs and posting a 25:3 K:BB over his first three outings, Gausman struggled mightily Monday, but he'll look to get back on track during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to unfold during the Blue Jays' upcoming three-game road set versus the Yankees.

Kelly (1-2) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on five hits and zero walks over six innings during a 6-3 victory over the Cardinals. He struck out three.

Kelly posted five scoreless frames to start the game before serving up an RBI double to Willson Contreras in the bottom of the six, which tied the game at 1-1. However, following a mound visit, the right-hander struck out Nolan Arenado to end the inning and was in line for the win after Arizona reclaimed the lead with five runs in the top of the seventh. Through four starts (21.1 innings), Kelly has a 2.53 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with a 18:12 K:BB.

Flaherty (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out four.

Flaherty allowed a leadoff double to Josh Rojas and an RBI single to Ketel Marte to start the game, but he escaped the frame with back-to-back groundouts, including a double play. The right-hander proceeded to toss five solid frames before getting pulled after allowing the first three hitters in the seventh to reach, including via a leadoff homer by Marte. Cardinals reliever Andre Pallante couldn't stop the momentum and served up a grand slam to Pavin Smith, adding two more runs to Flaherty's line. Overall, it was mixed results for Flaherty, who posted season highs in innings and runs allowed. Through four starts (21.1 innings), he has a 2.95 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP with as many strikeouts (17) as walks.

Lyles (0-3) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over eight innings during a 4-0 loss to the Rangers. He struck out three.

Lyles served up a one-out, three-run homer to Josh Jung in the first, but all three runs were unearned due to back-to-back errors to start the game. The lone earned run on Lyles' ledger came in the third via a solo shot from Marcus Semien. Despite the rocky start, Lyles was able to settle down and got through a season-high eight frames against a good Rangers offense. Through four outings (25.1 innings), Lyles sports a 4.26 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with a 18:7 K:BB.

Glasnow (oblique) is projected to make his season debut in mid-May, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Glasnow started throwing bullpen sessions a week ago and continues to progress well. We're seven weeks into an initial 6-to-8 week timetable for Glasnow, so it certainly appears the big right-hander's recovery will exceed that timeframe. Nevertheless, Glasnow appears to be making steady progress, and he should be ready to face hitters soon.

Luzardo did not factor into the decision Monday against the Giants, allowing three runs on six hits with two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

Luzardo failed to last at least five innings for the first time this season. Despite this setback, the 25-year-old continues to impress by generating a significant number of swings and misses, adding six more strikeouts in this outing. With a 2-0 record, 2.74 ERA and 26:8 K:BB over 23 innings, Luzardo's body of work thus far has been rewarding for fantasy managers who invested some capital in him. He will look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively scheduled for the upcoming series with Cleveland.
