Lopez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right shoulder tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lopez took the mound in preparation to begin the sixth inning but motioned to come out of the game after throwing a few warmup pitches. It's unclear if his shoulder will force him to miss his next start, but the Twins should provide an update on his status in the near future. Before exiting, the 29-year-old had surrendered two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters across five innings.

Hall will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hall pitched three shutout, no-hit innings while opening the game in front of bulk reliever Quinn Priester in last Friday's win over the Phillies, and the Brewers appear set to have the two pitchers work in tandem again Wednesday. If both pitchers enjoy similar success against the Reds, the combination could be one that Milwaukee sticks with going forward.

Rasmussen (5-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and no walks over five scoreless innings against Texas. He struck out eight.

Rasmussen has been nearly untouchable lately, and that dominance carried into Tuesday's win. The right-hander has fired 23 consecutive scoreless innings, last allowing a run May 11. In his previous three scoreless outings, the 29-year-old averaged just 4.3 strikeouts, but he showed encouraging swing-and-miss stuff Tuesday by fanning eight Rangers. After injuries disrupted his 2023 and 2024 campaigns, Rasmussen has settled into the rotation and is thriving in 2025.

Mahle (5-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out five.

Mahle struggled late in his worst outing of the season Tuesday and didn't get the run support needed to avoid his third loss. Despite the off night, the 30-year-old has been excellent in 2025, posting a 2.02 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 71.1 innings. It's been a strong rebound campaign after arm injuries limited him to just 12.2 innings in 2024.

Pallante didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals after giving up seven runs on seven hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

The seven runs allowed marked a season worst for Pallante, who tends to keep the ball on the ground but fell victim to the long ball Tuesday. Bobby Witt tagged him for a two-run blast in the opening inning, and Nick Loftin added a solo shot in the fifth frame. Pallante posted a 3.22 ERA through his first four starts, but he has a 5.77 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 29:16 K:BB over his subsequent eight. With a tall task against the Dodgers awaiting him in his next scheduled outing, the 26-year-old right-hander won't be a recommended fantasy option in that matchup.

Lorenzen didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals after giving up seven runs on seven hits and one walk in 2.2 innings. He struck out two.

After getting knocked around for six runs on a career-worst 11 hits his last time out, Lorenzen coughed up a season-worst seven runs in his shortest outing of the year Tuesday. Four of his seven hits allowed went for extra bases, and the veteran right-hander matched his season low in punchouts. Despite having four quality starts to his name among 12 appearances in 2025, Lorenzen owns a poor 5.12 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 65 innings. His next start is set to come against the lowly White Sox, which at least offers him a prime opportunity to rebound.

Manager Terry Francona said that Greene was pulled from his start during Tuesday's win over the Brewers due to a flare-up of his groin injury, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Greene managed to last five innings Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters. He spent time on the injured list in May due to a groin strain, so the decision to pull him after 85 pitches was made in order to prevent him from further aggravating the injury. The 25-year-old righty will receive an MRI on Wednesday to determine if any serious damage was done. Until then, his status for his next start is unknown.

Woodruff (ankle) was removed from his rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after getting hit on the right arm by a line drive, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Woodruff first began his minor-league assignment April 12 while working his way back from October 2023 shoulder surgery, but his rehab was extended in mid-May, when he experienced right ankle tendinitis. He resumed the assignment May 21, and Tuesday's outing was expected the 32-year-old's final start in the minors before being activated for his season debut next week. However, those plans may be in jeopardy now that the concern about his health has shifted back to his arm. He's slated to receive X-rays in Milwaukee on Wednesday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, at which point the Brewers may have a clearer idea regarding his timeline to return from the 15-day injured list.

Glasnow (shoulder) downplayed the "general body soreness" mentioned by manager Dave Roberts on Monday, and the right hander said he's likely to throw another bullpen session Friday or Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow classified the body soreness as a minor back issue, which shut him down from throwing for a few days. The oft-injured 31-year-old made just five starts this season prior to landing on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. Glasnow will be eligible to be reinstated in late June, but he could be sidelined beyond that given that he'll likely require a handful of rehab games in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers.

Olson received an injection to address the inflammation in his right ring finger Monday and is expected to resume playing catch Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The right-hander landed on the shelf with the injury May 19, and the inflammation apparently returned after he was briefly shut down from throwing. Olson is without an official timeline for his return but will likely be out for at least a couple more weeks as he ramps his throwing program back up.
