Gusto (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

Gusto struggled to contain the Philadelphia bats Monday, throwing a lone clean inning on the evening. The 27-year-old right-hander logged season worsts in hits, runs and walks allowed, but he did reach the 90-pitch marker for the first time this year. Gusto appears to be ready to handle a traditional starter's workload going forward, and he'll carry a bloated 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 13.2 innings into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Giants.

Wheeler (6-1) notched the win Monday against the Marlins, allowing no runs on two hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

After beginning the season on the injured list due to last year's shoulder surgery, Wheeler continues to show no signs of slowing down in 2026. The 36-year-old right-hander has now registered eight quality starts over his first 10 outings, giving up two runs or fewer eight times this year. Wheeler will bring an outstanding 2.01 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 62:15 K:BB over 62.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Mets.

X-rays on Turner's right wrist came back negative, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Turner was pulled from Monday's game after being struck by a pitch on his right hand, though it appears he's managed to avoid a significant injury. The Phillies will likely re-evaluate the star shortstop in the morning to determine his availability going forward.

Turner was removed from Monday's game against the Marlins due to a bruised right wrist, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Turner was hit by a pitch on his right hand earlier in the game, and he's presumably being sent for further testing. Alec Bohm entered the game at third base and Edmundo Sosa shifted over to shortstop following Turner's departure. He can be considered day-to-day until the Phillies have more information to share.

Alzolay (elbow) has struck out four batters and allowed two earned runs on four hits and three walks across three innings in three appearances for Triple-A Syracuse since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 4.

Alzolay was on the shelf for the first two months of the minor-league season, presumably because he was still working to regain command and velocity following his August 2024 Tommy John surgery. After making six rehab appearances across three different lower-level affiliates, Alzolay received the green light to join Syracuse earlier this month, but he's looked rusty in his initial opportunities at the Triple-A level. Though Alzolay is only three seasons removed from saving 22 games for the Cubs, he'll probably need to return to dominant form over a prolonged period at Syracuse before getting another look in the majors.

Triple-A Syracuse placed Lambert on the 7-day injured list June 4 due to an unspecified injury.

Lambert, 23, has struck out one-third of the batters he's faced this season, but a bloated 18.7 percent walk rate played a big part in him submitting an inflated 6.19 ERA and 1.62 over 16 innings at Triple-A. He's without a clear timeline to return to action for Syracuse.

Kessinger (hamstring) has gone 2-for-19 (.105 average) with five RBI in five games since Triple-A Syracuse reinstated him from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kessinger is back in action for Syracuse after completing his recovery from the significant left hamstring injury he sustained early in spring training. Before reporting to Triple-A, Kessinger slashed .172/.442/.414 with one home run, one stolen base and a 11:12 BB:K in 10 games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and High-A Brooklyn.

Glasnow (back) has yet to resume throwing, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

It was reported over the weekend that Glasnow could throw in the near future, but he's yet to make any progress. He's been on the injured list since suffering a back injury May 6 in his start against the Astros, and until he can gain clearance to resume throwing, a return date will be difficult to estimate.

McCann (quadriceps) is expected to begin playing in complex league games next week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

McCann has been on the shelf since May 19 due to a right quadriceps strain. However, he was cleared to resume baseball activities earlier this month, and assuming everything goes to plan, he'll face live competition as early as next week. The backstop hasn't appeared in a game since May 18, so he'll presumably need to participate in at least a handful of matchups before being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Diaz (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Diaz was given the green light to resume throwing at the end of May, and it seems he's now been cleared to ramp up his throwing progression. He'll presumably need to make it through at least a few BP sessions before advancing to pitching against live hitters.
