McGreevy won't start as scheduled Thursday against the Diamondbacks after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

McGreevy will likely have his start pushed back a day and instead take the mound in Friday's series opener against Miami. The 25-year-old had a streak of three straight quality starts snapped last Friday in Kansas City, where he gave up five runs on eight hits and a walk over five frames.

Gallen won't start as scheduled Thursday against the Cardinals after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Gallen could be pushed back a day or perhaps skipped in the rotation. The right-hander is coming off of his worst start of the year, as he surrendered nine runs on 12 hits and two walks over four innings against the Twins on Saturday.

Roupp did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the A's, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

While Roupp has now gone 10 starts without a win, he was solid overall Thursday en route to a second straight quality start -- he's given up just four runs across 12 innings while striking out 13 in his last two outings. Roupp has a 5-7 record this season with a 4.07 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB across 16 starts (86.1 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out.

Kilian (2-4) took the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 9-6 loss to the A's, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

Entering with a one-run lead in the ninth, Kilian gave up a lead-off single before retiring the next two A's. However, the right-hander would allow the next four batters to reach safely, ultimately surrendering four runs with two outs as he took his second blown save this season. Prior to Thursday, Kilian had turned in nine straight scoreless appearances (8.1 innings), allowing just five hits while striking out 12 in that span. He's converted five saves this season while posting a 3.97 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB across 34 innings.

Susac exited Thursday's contest against the Athletics in the sixth inning as a result of back tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Susac was forced out of the game ahead of his at-bat in the bottom of the sixth inning, ultimately being replaced by Eric Haase behind the plate. Susac finished his day having gone 0-for-2 with a strikeout. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener at home against Atlanta.

The Marlins will option Brzykcy to Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's game versus the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Brzykcy was recalled to the Marlins on Monday, but did not appear in any games. It is the second time during the 2026 season that the right-hander will have been brought up by the Marlins only to go unused. A corresponding move is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be Max Meyer coming off of the bereavement list to start in Friday's series opener versus the Cardinals.

The Marlins will option Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's game versus the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Norby has had a dismal June with a .194/.306/.290 slash line across 36 plate appearances. The utility fielder had been seeing a decrease in playing time, and now he will try to reset in Triple-A. A corresponding move is yet to be revealed.

Lindor isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Lindor went 0-for-5 during his first game back from the IL in the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader, and he'll now step out of the lineup as the Mets ease him back into regular playing time following the extended absence. Ronny Mauricio will fill in as New York's shortstop and bat seventh.

Soto (back) will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and bat third Thursday against the Cubs.

Back tightness prevented Soto from playing in either game of Wednesday's doubleheader, and although the Mets are still holding off on returning him to the field, the fact that he's been cleared to work as the DH is an encouraging sign that the injury isn't bothering him too much. Soto was enjoying a hot streak at the plate before getting hurt, slashing .395/.509/.744 with four homers, eight RBI, eight runs and a 10:4 BB:K across his last 13 games.

Arenado is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

Arenado is getting some rest for the first time in June after starting the first 22 games of the month. During that span, the veteran third baseman slashed .173/.227/.247 with one home run and three doubles in 81 at-bats. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at third base and batting eighth Thursday.
