  • Andrew Painter SP | PHI

    Phillies' Andrew Painter: First career quality start

    Painter took a no-decision Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three.

    It was a positive showing for the 23-year-old right-hander, but the Phillies still gave him a quick hook at just 69 pitches (44 strikes). Painter induced only three whiffs on the evening, but he didn't give up any extra-base hits and logged the first quality start of his major-league career. Painter, who hasn't reached the 70-pitch threshold in in either of his past two outings, will look to further improve on his 5.77 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:14 K:BB over 43.2 innings in his next scheduled appearance versus Cleveland.

  • Robbie Ray SP | SF

    Giants' Robbie Ray: Exits with possible injury

    Ray left Monday's game against the Diamondbacks after being struck with a comebacker in the left leg, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. He allowed 10 runs (nine earned) on 11 hits and two walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings.

    It's not clear at this time whether Ray actually suffered an injury, or if it was simply a decision by the Giants to pull him after a miserable outing. The club should have another update on Ray's status for his next start in the coming days.

  • Joey Wiemer RF | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Wiemer: Listed day-to-day

    Wiemer is being considered day-to-day after suffering a bruised hand during Monday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Wiemer wasn't removed from the game as a result of the injury, but he was sent for X-rays afterward, which came back negative. The team will presumably re-evaluate him Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the second game of the series.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Dealing with bruised rib

    Young, who left Monday's game against the Mets after being hit by a pitch, is being considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a bruised rib, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

    X-rays on Young's rib came back negative, but the team will re-evaluate him again Tuesday morning, per Williams. Joey Wiemer and Dylan Crews, assuming his promotion becomes official, could draw a start in center field if Young can't go Tuesday.

  • J.B. Bukauskas RP | MIL

    Brewers' J.B. Bukauskas: Puts lat injury behind him

    Bukauskas (lat) was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.

    Bukauskas has made a full recovery after undergoing surgery on his right lat in February of 2025. He made his first appearance with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out two over one inning of relief work.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Lifted with back spasms

    Lee was removed from Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks due to back spasms, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Lee will likely be sent for further evaluation to determine whether he'll need a stint on the injured list. He can be considered day-to-day until the club has another update to share. Will Brennan took over in right field Monday in Lee's absence.

  • Kellon Lindsey SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Kellon Lindsey: Activated from IL

    Lindsey (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Lindsey wrapped up a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in mid-May after starting the season on the shelf due to a shoulder issue. He's been seeing the ball well since being activated from the injured list, as he's gone 6-for-14 with one home run, two RBI and two runs scored in three games with Single-A Ontario.

  • Chase Petty RP | CIN

    Reds' Chase Petty: Tough showing at Triple-A

    Petty (blister) took the loss after allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one over three innings against Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Petty battled a blister on his pitching hand in his previous start, but he was cleared to toe the rubber Sunday. He turned in one of his worst outings of the 2026 season, tying a season high in hits allowed and runs allowed. Unless the team states otherwise, Petty appears to have put the blister behind him.

  • Ethan Roberts RP | CHC

    Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Allows first run Monday

    Roberts allowed a run on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.

    Roberts got the call early with Shota Imanaga getting shelled for eight runs in only 4.1 innings of work. The former slowed down Milwaukee a bit, though he did allow his first run of the season in the process. Roberts is still sitting with a stellar 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he might need to take on a larger bullpen role moving forward with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Riley Martin (elbow) both on the 15-day injured list, and Hunter Harvey (triceps) on the 60-day injured list.

  • Diamondbacks' Kayson Cunningham: Activated from MiLB IL

    Cunningham (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Cunningham landed on the injured list May 8 after suffering a concussion, but he returned over the weekend for Single-A Fresno. He's 3-for-14 with three RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored in three games since being activated.
