Megill was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder impingement, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

The right-hander hasn't pitched since June 14, so it's unclear when exactly he picked up the injury. Megill has a 2.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 13 innings this season but will now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks.

Rosenberg was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Sunday's game at Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rosenberg has made two appearances out of the bullpen for the Halos this season, and he'll make his first career big-league start Sunday. The 26-year-old has a 2.34 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB over 34.2 innings for Salt Lake this year, and he could receive another turn through the rotation with a strong showing versus the Mariners.

Hentges struck out one in a perfect inning in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Hentges was the Guardians' most effective pitcher Saturday. He's given up runs in only three of his 21 appearances this season, and he's allowed multiple runs only once. That shakes out to a 1.64 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB with one hold in 22 innings, though he's yet to get a real taste of high-leverage assignments despite the solid overall numbers. He's also posted a 2.54 FIP, which indicates he might experience a little regression, but it's not likely to be severe.

Brentz (elbow) will report to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment.

Brentz has been sidelined by a flexor strain in his left elbow since late April, but he's entering the final stage of his rehab program. The 27-year-old surrendered 14 earned runs with a 9:10 K:BB across 5.1 innings prior to landing on the injured list.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Lawrence joined the big-league club and pitched four relief innings Friday against the Yankees, and he'll return to the minors in favor of a fresh arm. He's given up three earned runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 7.1 innings for Toronto this season.

Adam recorded one out without allowing a baserunner to record a hold Saturday against the Orioles.

Adam's outing was brief and not particularly notable, though he followed starter Jeffrey Springs into the game in the fourth inning. Adam picked up his second save of the season June 9 -- which came after Andrew Kittredge (elbow) went down -- but Colin Poche closed out Saturday's win. Adam has been excellent this season by maintaining a 0.68 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB, though it appears that he will be reserved for high-leverage scenarios rather than a traditional ninth-inning role.

Voth will start Sunday's game against the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The right-hander has made three appearances out of the bullpen since being claimed off waivers by Baltimore on June 7, but he'll start Sunday's contest after Jordan Lyles (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Voth hasn't thrown more than two innings or 38 pitches in an appearance this season, so he's unlikely to pitch deep enough to have a chance at qualifying for a win versus Tampa Bay.

Vargas (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Sunday.

Vargas is ready to make his 2022 season debut after spending just under 14 months recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Guardians added Vargas to their 40-man roster during the offseason, but once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, he'll likely be optioned to Akron and continue to make regular starts for the affiliate.

Hearn (4-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits while striking out four and walking none over 3.2 innings.

Hearn was tagged for 10 hits and eight earned runs in Saturday's loss. He did not look sharp, throwing just 49 of 79 pitches for strikes across 3.2 frames. The eight runs were the most Hearn has allowed in a single game this season. One positive is that the lefty did not allow any walks in the outing. The rough game added nearly a run to his ERA, which now sits at 6.25.

Barlow picked up the save Saturday against Oakland, allowing no runs on no hits while striking out one and walking none across 1.1 innings.

Barlow entered the game in the eighth inning after Jose Cuas allowed a baserunner in a 1-0 game. Barlow picked up the final out in the eighth, then remained in for the bottom of the ninth. He needed only 12 pitches to pick up four outs and earn his eighth save of the year. The righty reliever has a 1.55 ERA this season and seems to have a strong lock on the closer role in Kansas City after converting his last seven save opportunities.
