Dunning allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings Monday against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

Dunning entered the fifth inning with a two-run lead, but two unearned runs crossed the plate after a fielding error by his first baseman, tying the game at five. Despite a shaky outing Monday, he's posted a 3.92 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 26:13 K:BB over his last seven starts (39.0 innings).

Faedo left the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians due to right hip soreness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Faedo is up with the club as the 27th man for Monday's twin bill, so as Woodbery notes, he'll be sent back to Triple-A Toledo regardless of his health. He'll likely be re-evaluated in the coming days to determine whether he'll require a stint on the minor-league injured list.

Urena is expected to make a spot start Wednesday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Urena spent the first month of the 2022 season with the Brewers, posting a 3.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with a 5:3 K:BB across 7.2 frames in a relief role before being designated for assignment in early May. If the right-hander is confirmed as Wednesday's starter, it would mark his first big-league action since April 26. Urena has worked five and six innings in his last two minor-league outings, respectively, so he could potentially work more than a few frames if things go well.

Steele allowed just one run on two hits across 6.2 innings but did not factor into the decision in Monday's loss to the Brewers. He walked four and struck out nine.

Steele was cruising with a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning, but after recording two quick outs, he allowed a walk and double that tied the game. After another walk, the lefty got the hook. It was a promising start nonetheless for Steele, who was one away from matching his season high in strikeouts. The walks are still holding him back a bit, as this was the seventh time in 16 starts that he's walked three or more batters. Steele will look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start Saturday against the Dodgers.

Faedo was removed from his start against the Guardians in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. He allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

The team evidently spotted something in Faedo's delivery that looked off, and after skipper A.J. Hinch watched him toss a few warmup pitches, he was lifted from the contest. The club should reveal more on his injury after further evaluation.

Crawford yielded two hits and a walk over 5.1 shutout frames Monday, striking out eight and earning a win over Tampa Bay.

Crawford took the mound in the third inning after Austin Davis opened with a pair of scoreless frames. The 26-year-old rookie allowed just one Ray to reach scoring position and never faced much of a threat in the dominant outing. In two games against the Rays this season, he's thrown 8.1 scoreless innings with 13 punchouts. Crawford owns a 5.04 ERA with a 32:13 K:BB through 25 innings this season.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Feltner will be placed on Triple-A Albuquerque's 7-day injured list due to back soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Feltner was a candidate to receive a call-up to start Wednesday against the Dodgers in place of Antonio Senzatela (shoulder), but Jose Urena now looks on track to get the starting nod with Feltner headed to the IL. Assuming the back issue proves to be a short-term concern for Feltner, he'll receive future consideration for spot starts when the Rockies have an opening in the rotation.

Gausman is still having trouble pushing off his injured right ankle, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Gausman is still dinged up after being struck by a line drive Saturday, and it's not yet known if he will be ready to make his next scheduled start. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, and it seems likely another update on his status will come after that.

Hill (knee) could return in 2-to-4 weeks, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Hill underwent an MRI over the weekend, and some tearing was found in a knee ligament. However, there is a chance he could return to action before July comes to a close.

German (shoulder) tossed four innings in a rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three.

German didn't walk any batters and threw 39 of 49 pitches for strikes in his third rehab outing. He has compiled a 0.87 ERA and 0.48 WHIP along with a 6:0 K:BB across 10.1 innings in his trio of minor-league appearances thus far. It's unclear how many more rehab outings he'll make or what role he'll take when he returns to the big-league club.
