Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Goes four innings Sunday
Warren did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out one.
While Warren managed to work his way around significant damage Sunday, he'd make it through only four innings after throwing 98 pitches. The right-hander has failed to make it through five innings in consecutive starts after posting a 2.78 ERA over 22.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, Warren is 7-1 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 76:24 K:BB across 14 starts (72.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Reds at home in his next outing.

Tobias Myers RP | NYM
Mets' Tobias Myers: Tabbed to start Monday
The Mets will recall Myers from Triple-A Syracuse to start Monday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander has spent the past couple weeks with Syracuse, but he's now set to make just his third big-league start of the season. Myers has primarily worked as a reliever in the majors this season and has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Myers started in his most recent appearance with Syracuse on Thursday, but since he covered just 2.2 innings and 36 pitches in that outing, he'll likely handle a limited workload for the Mets on Monday.

Peter Lambert SP | HOU
Astros' Peter Lambert: Set to start Wednesday
Lambert (hand) is listed as Houston's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander departed his previous start last Wednesday versus the Angels after getting hit in the hand by a comebacker, but he was able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session without issue and won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation. Lambert has a 3-0 record with a 3.32 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings across his past four starts.

Bryce Elder SP | ATL
Braves' Bryce Elder: Falls to the Mets
Elder (5-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.
The Mets jumped on Elder for four runs in the first inning before the right-hander gave up back-to-back home runs to A.J. Ewing and Marcus Semien to open the fifth. It's the first time that Elder has given up more than one homer in a start this season, and he also allowed season highs in both runs and hits. Elder's ERA now sits at 3.15 through 15 starts (88.2 innings) this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 73:27 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

A.J. Ewing CF | NYM
Mets' A.J. Ewing: Three hits, homer in win
Ewing went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.
Ewing came a triple shy of a cycle Sunday while logging the second three-hit game of his major-league career. The rookie outfielder put the Mets ahead with his RBI double in the first inning before extending the lead to 5-1 in the fifth with a home run, his second of the year, off Bryce Elder. Ewing has gone 13-for-38 (.342) over his last 11 games, boosting his slash line to .267/.339/.381 through 120 plate appearances this season with 14 runs scored, nine RBI and seven stolen bases.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Mets' Freddy Peralta: Improves to 5-5
Peralta (5-5) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.
It looked like it was going to be a short day for Peralta after he gave up singles to the first three batters he faced in the first inning. However, he'd manage to hold Atlanta to just one run in the frame before settling in and allowing just one additional hit over his final four frames, while the Mets' bats rallied en route to an 8-1 victory. It was an encouraging bounce-back effort from Peralta, who'd struggled to a 5.70 ERA across 23.2 innings over his previous four outings. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.90 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 81:33 K:BB through 15 starts (83 innings) this season. Peralta is tentatively lined up to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Mickey Gasper DH | BOS
Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Nursing tight groin
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to slight groin tightness, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Gasper started the previous seven games -- three at catcher, four at designated hitter -- but will be forced to the bench Sunday due to the groin issue. The injury doesn't seem to be a serious concern, and the 30-year-old will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery. Carlos Narvaez is starting behind the plate Sunday for Boston.
-
Michael Helman CF | TEX
Rangers' Michael Helman: Shifts to injured list
The Rangers placed Helman (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
The 30-year-old was diagnosed with multiple fractures in his right hand after being hit by a pitch Saturday against the Red Sox, so the move to the IL is hardly a surprise. It's a literal tough break for Helman, who appeared set for increased playing time after Evan Carter (oblique) landed on the shelf earlier in the day. Alejandro Osuna was called up Sunday to bolster Texas' outfield depth.
-
Joc Pederson DH | TEX
Rangers' Joc Pederson: Idle against southpaw
Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Pederson missed out on a start in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Royals due to left hip discomfort, but he returned to the starting nine at designated hitter for Friday's 10-1 loss in the series opener in Boston. The Rangers will keep Pederson on the bench for a second straight day to close out the series, though his absences in those games have more to do with the Red Sox sending left-handed starters to the hill for both contests. Texas will likely continue to heavily shield Pederson against left-handed pitching; he's faced southpaws for just 13 of his 175 plate appearances on the season.

Josh Naylor 1B | SEA
Mariners' Josh Naylor: X-rays return negative
Naylor had X-rays on his right shin come back negative after leaving Sunday's loss to the Nationals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Naylor was forced from Sunday's contest after fouling a pitch off himself, but he appears to have escaped with a bruise. The 28-year-old went 1-for-3 before his exit and is batting .250 (12-for-48) with two doubles, three homers, a steal, eight RBI and seven runs through 12 games in June. Naylor will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's series opener versus Baltimore.
