Suarez took a no-decision Wednesday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Facing a tough assignment at hitter-friendly Coors Field, Suarez fared well on the hill Wednesday. The 30-year-old left-hander fell just one strikeout short of matching his season-high output, also turning in his second consecutive quality start and third in his past four outings. Suarez will take a steady 2.94 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 84:25 K:BB over 82.2 innings into his next scheduled start at home versus the Nationals.

Cameron (4-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Rays, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

It was a tough night for Cameron, who gave up three runs in the third inning and another two in the fourth. The left-hander has now given up 12 earned runs over 14.1 frames in his last three starts after posting a 1.13 ERA across 24 innings in his previous four outings. Cameron will look to turn things around in his next start, currently scheduled as a rematch with the Rays at home next week.

Woo (6-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He stuck out four.

After holding Pittsburgh hitless through three innings, Woo unraveled in the fourth, when he gave up four runs on six hits, including two doubles and a triple. It's been a streaky year overall for Woo -- the right-hander has held opponents scoreless across seven innings in two of his last five starts, though he's given up 17 runs over 15.1 frames in his other three outings in that span. Woo's ERA now sits at 4.26 through 16 starts (93 innings) this season with a 1.04 WHIP and 92:18 K:BB. He'll look to rebound his next time out, tentatively slated to come next week at home against the Angels.

DeGrom (6-5) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six inning as the Rangers fell 4-2 to the Marlins. He struck out eight.

The veteran right-hander dialed up his seventh quality start of the season on 91 pitches (58 strikes), but deGrom left the mound with his team down 2-1, and Texas wasn't able to draw level. It was his first loss since May 22, and deGrom has been tagged with two runs or fewer in five of six outings since that date, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 42:9 K:BB in 35 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Cleveland.

Flaherty (ankle) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Flaherty was sharp in his rehab start with Double-A Erie on Tuesday, striking out seven while holding the opposition to two runs over 5.2 frames. He got his pitch count up to 83, so Flaherty should be prepared for a relatively normal workload Sunday. With Keider Montero pitching well, the Tigers could stick with a six-man rotation once Flaherty returns, at least for one turn.

Bubic (elbow) is slated to make a rehab start Wednesday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

After landing on the injured list May 18 due to left elbow soreness, Bubic was cleared to kick off a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on June 9. The left-hander was lit up for six runs (five earned) while recording just four outs in his lone outing with Omaha before being pulled off the assignment after experiencing shoulder discomfort. An MRI cleared Bubic of any major concerns with the shoulder, so he didn't have to pause his throwing program for more than a few days. Bubic made it through a two-inning live bullpen session over the weekend without issue and will now resume the rehab assignment, this time linking up with the Royals' Double-A affiliate. He'll likely need at least one more start in the minors beyond Wednesday to get fully ramped up, but Bubic would appear to have a shot at rejoining the Kansas City rotation before the All-Star break.

The Rangers recalled Santos from Double-A Frisco on Wednesday.

Santos has made 11 starts with Frisco this season, posting a 7.44 ERA and 58:21 K:BB over 42.1 innings. The 24-year-old will provide bullpen protection for the Rangers and will be making his major-league debut if he gets into a game.

Fedde is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Chris Murphy in Wednesday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Fedde remains part of the rotation, but the White Sox have taken a liking to deploying him behind an opener in recent weeks. He'll work out of the bullpen for the sixth time in his last seven appearances, likely entering the contest in the second or third inning once Murphy departs.

Kirby (6-7) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks over six innings in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out five.

The right-hander produced his ninth quality start of the season on 91 pitches (65 strikes), but it took a Cole Young two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning to finally get Kirby back in the win column. He'd gone 0-5 over his prior six starts, stumbling to a 6.27 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB in 33 innings during the losing streak. With that monkey off his back, Kirby will look to build on Tuesday's performance in his next outing, which is set to come on the road this weekend in Cleveland.

Mize (2-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Tigers fell 4-3 to the Yankees, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander was nursing a 2-1 lead until running out of gas in the sixth inning, with a two-run homer by Jazz Chisholm putting New York in the lead for good. Mize was lifted after 97 pitches (65 strikes), and while he has a 9:2 K:BB in 10.1 innings over two starts since recovering from adductor inflammation, little else has been going right for him. He hasn't won a game since April 22, producing a 0-4 record over his last six big-league starts despite a 3.38 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB in 29.1 innings. Mize will try to end that winless streak in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home this weekend against the Astros.
