Burns is being promoted to Triple-A Louisville.

Burns will make the jump to Triple-A after posting an impressive 1.29 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 42 innings in eight starts with Double-A Chattanooga. The right-hander is not only one of the top prospects in the Reds' farm system, but one of the top prospects in all of baseball. It seems likely that Burns will make his major-league debut this summer, but he'll have to prove himself at one final level before doing so.

Rodon (8-4) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing five runs on three hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out five.

Rodon tied his season high in earned runs allowed Sunday and took his first loss since April 13 (10 starts). The left-hander surrendered a pair of home runs, including a three-run shot by Carlos Narvaez, which ended Rodon's day after 90 pitches. Rodon had allowed just two runs in his previous four starts while accumulating a 31:7 K:BB in 25 innings. On the year, Rodon owns a 2.87 ERA across 84.2 innings.

Dollander (2-6) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts over three innings.

Dollander worked a scoreless first inning before surrendering five runs across the second and third. The rookie increased his pitch count from 59 to 78 in his second start since returning from the injured list Tuesday, but he's now allowed five or more earned runs in four of his first 10 major-league outings. He'll carry a 6.85 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB across 44.2 innings into a road matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Megill (5-4) earned the win against the Rockies on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Megill cruised through four innings before allowing two runs in the fifth. He generated an impressive 14 whiffs on 82 pitches and was backed by an early outburst from the Mets' offense. On the year, the 29-year-old owns a 3.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 84:31 K:BB across 64.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Rays next weekend.

McGreevy (1-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

McGreevy allowed three runs in the second inning but was otherwise impressive, throwing 65 of 101 pitches for strikes and generating 10 whiffs. The 24-year-old has posted a 3.09 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB through two starts against tough lineups in the Mets and Dodgers. He's slated to face the Brewers on the road next weekend.

Kershaw (1-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Kershaw opened with four scoreless innings before giving up a run in the fifth. The veteran southpaw generated 12 whiffs on 82 pitches and did not issue a walk for the first time in five starts this season. He'll carry a 4.35 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 20.2 innings into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Vasil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.

Vasil threw 33 of 50 pitches for strikes but managed just two whiffs in his first major-league start. The rookie has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his 19 outings this season and now sports a 2.18 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB across 41.1 innings. If he gets another turn in the rotation, it would likely come on the road against the Rangers next weekend.

Lorenzen (4-6) earned the win against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

The only hit Lorenzen allowed was a two-run homer in the first inning, but he bounced back with five straight scoreless frames to notch his first win since April 29. The 33-year-old generated 14 whiffs on 92 pitches in a much-needed strong effort after surrendering 13 earned runs over his previous two outings. He'll take a 4.94 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 61:22 K:BB across 71 innings into a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Singer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Singer gave up runs in the second and third innings before exiting in a 2-2 tie after just 77 pitches. According to Jeff Wallner of MLB.com, the 28-year-old was pulled after being struck on his throwing arm by a line drive in the fourth, though Singer downplayed the move as precautionary. He'll carry a 4.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 56:29 K:BB across 68.2 innings into a road matchup with the Tigers next weekend.

Gallen (4-8) took the loss against the Reds on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Gallen was locked in a 2-2 tie through six innings before surrendering a go-ahead two-run homer to Matt McLain with two outs in the seventh. The 29-year-old was ultimately undone by the long ball and continues to struggle with his control, having issued three or more free passes in eight of 14 starts this season. He'll carry a 5.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 75:36 K:BB across 80.1 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.
