Burrows (4-9) took the loss Monday, allowing 10 runs (seven earned) on nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against Washington. He struck out three.

Burrows was absolutely thrashed by the Washington offense, matching a season high with seven earned runs allowed. The right-hander has struggled immensely to keep the ball in the yard, serving up multiple homers in eight of his 18 outings this season after surrendering two long balls Monday. With a 5.99 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 75:35 K:BB across 94.2 innings, Burrows is projected to make one more start before the All-Star break, tentatively scheduled for Sunday at Texas.

Mikolas (3-7) earned the win Monday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

Mikolas was roughed up early, allowing six runs across the first three innings, but managed to churn out six frames and was credited with the win thanks to an offensive explosion from the Nationals. It has been a difficult season for the veteran, who has occasionally been able to provide length but has too often been hit hard by opposing offenses. The right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB across 90.1 innings (19 appearances). Mikolas is awaiting a decision on his appeal of a five-game suspension stemming from Tuesday's benches-clearing incident, which may factor into whether he makes another start before the All-Star break.

Coleman was released by the Yankees on Monday.

Coleman posted a 2.57 ERA over 21 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he struggled with his command, resulting in a 26:20 K:BB. He'll be in search of an opportunity elsewhere after being cut loose Monday.

Hamilton (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The team will likely hold off on making anything official until re-evaluating Hamilton on Tuesday morning. However, manager Pat Murphy stated after Monday's win that the club may need to make a roster move as a result of the 28-year-old's injury, especially with a doubleheader looming Tuesday.

Henry was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings Monday against the Astros.

Henry will head to the minors after tossing 44 pitches in Monday's victory. He's now surrendered three or more runs in two of his last three appearances in the big leagues. The Nationals will presumably bring up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's clash.

The Giants outrighted Santos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

The transaction will free up on a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Eric Cerantola, whom the Giants claimed off waivers from the Royals. Santos owns a 6.89 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with an 11:11 K:BB across 15.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Bruihl left Monday's game against Milwaukee with a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. He allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.

Bruihl appeared to tweak his ankle while fielding an infield dribbler, and he exited the game immediately after the play. He'll presumably be sent for additional testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted.

Hamilton was removed from Monday's game against the Cardinals due to left hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hamilton drove a ball to the gap in the top of the seventh inning to plate a pair of runs, but he appeared to be in discomfort after putting on the brakes after rounding second base and scurrying back to the bag. He's presumably headed for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the club has more information to share on the severity of his injury. Joey Ortiz would be in line for more work at the hot corner if Hamilton is forced to miss additional game action.

Palacios went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the Rays' 5-1 loss to the Yankees on Monday.

It was a dominant effort on the mound from Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler on Monday, but Palacios put Tampa Bay on the board with a single in the fifth inning that brought Chandler Simpson home. Palacios has driven in at least one run in three of his last four games, going 5-for-12 with one steal, one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Jax (4-6) took the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks while striking out 10 across five innings.

Monday's series opener featured a pitching duel between Jax and Cam Schlittler, with the former retiring the first 13 batters he faced. However, Jax walked two-straight batters in the fifth, both of whom came home to score on a back-breaking, three-run home run by Jose Caballero. Jax struck out the next two batters in the frame to tie a career high in punchouts and finished his night with 16 whiffs on just 81 pitches (51 strikes), but he did not receive enough run support from his Rays teammates to avoid the loss. He'll take a 3.60 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 65 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Mariners.
