Patino (oblique) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday at Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Patino will be making his fourth rehab appearance overall and his second overall with Durham following a two-start stint in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. In his initial outing for Durham, Patino built up to 2.2 innings and 46 pitches, so he may need another rehab start beyond Tuesday's outing to get fully stretched out. Though Patino broke camp as a member of the Tampa Bay rotation before suffering the oblique strain in his season debut April 11, he could have to settle for a multi-inning relief role with the big club once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.

Hader (personal) was activated off the restricted list Monday.

Hader was placed on the paternity list Wednesday and wound up shifting to the restricted list later in the week in order to spend a few extra days with his family. He's ready to go again now and should recapture the dominance which has seen him hold the opposition scoreless in 20 of his 21 appearances this season. Aaron Ashby (forearm) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Anderson will meet with a doctor on Tuesday about his continuing elbow discomfort, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Elbow troubles limited Anderson to just six innings last season, and he's yet to pitch this year while recovering from October surgery. While he was able to throw in some capacity this spring, the issue apparently remains troublesome. He hasn't had a clear return date at any point, but the risk of him missing the entirety of the season seems very real. A clearer picture should emerge after his doctor visit.

Montero allowed one hit and struck out one across a scoreless seventh inning to earn a hold Sunday against the White Sox.

Montero struggled for a brief stretch in early June, allowing five earned runs across four appearances that spanned four innings. However, he's gotten back on track in his last two outings, allowing only a hit and a walk while striking out two across two scoreless frames. Montero has been excellent for the balance of the season, maintaining a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB to go along with nine holds across 26.2 innings.

Lambert threw a scoreless inning while allowing one walk Sunday against the Astros.

Lambert entered the game in the sixth inning in relief of Michael Kopech. He has not surrendered a run since being recalled June 10, tallying four strikeouts as opposed to two walks across 5.2 innings. Lambert has served in a low-leverage role to this point in the campaign, but he has a solid 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.

Kimbrel (0-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two in one inning.

Kimbrel entered the contest in the ninth inning with the score tied 3-3. He struck out the first batter he faced but then allowed a pair of hits and two walks (one intentional) to the next four batters. The Guardians added a sacrifice fly and netted two total runs in the inning on their way to victory. Kimbrel has been struggling for over a month, posting a 7.30 ERA and 1.86 WHIP while taking three losses and a blown save over his past 13 games. He does have seven saves and a massive 17.5 K/9 over 12.1 innings during that span, and his closer job is probably secure for the time being.

Wantz (1-0) was credited with the win against the Mariners on Sunday, pitching a perfect inning during which he struck out two batters.

Angels starter Kenny Rosenberg went 4.2 scoreless frames, falling just shy of qualifying for the win. The victory instead went to Wantz, who pitched a clean sixth inning that included two strikeouts. This was the right-hander's first win of the season and just the second of his big-league career. He's posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings with Los Angeles this season.

Weber elected free agency Monday rather than accepting on outright assignment.

Weber made his Yankees debut out of the bullpen Thursday against the Rays and allowed a run on two hits and no walks while striking out one in 3.2 innings. However, he was designated for assignment Thursday and will choose to seek out other opportunities via free agency rather than heading back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Loup earned a hold by striking out the side in a perfect inning against Seattle on Sunday.

Loup came in to start the seventh inning with the Angels up by three runs. He struck out Jesse Winker, Cal Raleigh and Justin Upton on 16 pitches -- five of which were swinging strikes. Loup struggled over his final four starts in May but has started to turn things around this month, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings.

Gott (groin) will report to High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Gott was placed on the 15-day injured list June 7 with a right groin strain but looks as though he could be ready to rejoin the Brewers shortly after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. Prior to being deactivated, he appeared in 22 games of the bullpen and submitted a 3.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB across 21 innings.
