Quantrill (5-5) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the White Sox.

Quantrill was given a 5-0 lead in the first inning, so he had plenty of room to work with. The White Sox got to him in the third with Yoan Moncada's three-run shot. Quantrill then allowed another run in the fourth inning. Despite the shaky outing, the 27-year-old earned his first victory since June 12. Quantrill now owns a 3.99 ERA on the year but a 5.46 ERA over his last five starts. He's lined up to face the Tigers at home this weekend.

Faedo (1-5) allowed four runs on four hits and four walks across 1.2 innings to take the loss in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals. He was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following the start.

Faedo was ineffective in the outing, needing a whopping 60 pitches to retire five batters, with only 29 of those in the strike zone. The righty left his last start July 4 in the fourth inning with hip soreness, and it's possible that was still bothering him somewhat, though the team didn't note anything new on the injury front. Faedo will now look to get back on track in the minors. Across 12 starts in the majors, the 26-year-old has registered a 5.53 ERA. He'll likely get another shot at some point with the Tigers dealing with several injuries in the rotation.

Lynn (1-2) allowed eight runs on nine hits and two walks over four innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Guardians.

Cleveland immediately jumped on Lynn, plating five runs in the first inning. He then turned in a few scoreless frames before coughing up three more runs in the fifth. The veteran righty has been tagged with 13 runs over his last two starts, ballooning his season ERA to 6.97 through 31 frames. Lynn has given up three or more runs in all but one of his six starts in 2022. He'll look for better results in Minnesota this weekend.

Rogers (4-8) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Pirates.

Rogers struggled out of the gate Monday, yielding three runs in the first two innings. Most of the damage against him came on Diego Castillo's two-run single in the first frame. Rogers has completed six innings just once this season and has now failed to do so in 13 consecutive outings. He's sporting a 5.42 ERA with 74:39 K:BB through 17 starts this season. The 24-year-old is expected to face the Phillies at home this weekend.

Keller (3-6) allowed one run on five hits over seven innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Marlins.

Keller faced little pushback from Miami's lineup through five shutout frames until he finally coughed up a run in the sixth. It was a nice bounceback after he was tagged with nine runs on 19 hits and five walks over his previous two outings. The 26-year-old is in the midst of another inconsistent season with a 4.88 ERA and a 71:32 K:BB through 83 frames. Keller is projected to start in Colorado this weekend.

Lynch left Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Tigers with an undisclosed injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings prior to exiting.

Lynch gave up a leadoff single to start the fifth inning, and the team trainer came out to check on him immediately after. He was then walked off the diamond. Lynch will be considered day-to-day until the nature of the injury is revealed.

Keller (5-9) allowed one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out eight and earned a win over the Tigers.

Keller dominated through five shutout frames before Riley Greene scored on a wild pitch in the sixth. He's now 4-1 with an impressive 2.15 ERA over his last five starts. The 26-year-old righty lowered his season ERA to 4.15 with a 67:32 K:BB through 97.2 frames. Keller is lined up to take the mound in Toronto this weekend.

DeGrom (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

DeGrom was targeting Wednesday or Thursday for his third rehab start, and the team will ultimately choose the latter option so he has an additional day to rest before pitching for the Triple-A club. He's expected to throw at least 50 pitches during Thursday's outing, and it's not yet clear whether he'll make a fourth rehab start or whether his next appearance after Thursday will be with the major-league club.

Keller will start Monday's game against the Marlins.

It took the Pirates longer than usual to confirm their starting pitcher for Monday night, but it turns out Keller will take the ball on normal rest. After allowing eight total earned runs over six outings from mid-May through mid-June, Keller has allowed nine earned runs over his last two starts alone.

Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said that Chirinos (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The upcoming appearance will mark Chirinos' first at any level since Aug. 16, 2020, as he's spent the better part of two years rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and another procedure to address a fracture of the same elbow. Chirinos had served as a starter for the Rays during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, but he could be preparing for a multi-inning relief role with the big club while he's out on the rehab assignment.
