Povich (2-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Povich entered the sixth inning in a 3-3 tie and departed an out shy of a quality start after allowing a single to J.T. Realmuto, who went on to score the first run in what became an eight-run rally by the Phillies. On the bright side, the southpaw tossed 90 pitches in his first major-league start since June 15, generating 10 whiffs and allowing just five hard-hit balls. He'll carry a 5.25 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB across 70.1 innings into a home matchup with the Athletics this weekend.

Arrighetti (thumb) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Marlins, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

As expected, Arrighetti will rejoin the Houston rotation for its series in Miami to make his first start at the big-league level since April 5, after he suffered a fractured right thumb just a couple days later that sent him to the injured list. During his three-start rehab assignment between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land, Arrighetti logged a 5.73 ERA and 11:5 K:BB in 11 innings. In his final rehab outing this past Thursday, Arrighetti built up to 79 pitches, so he could be in store for a light workload restriction Wednesday.

Alexander (2-1) earned the win Monday at Miami, yielding three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

The 32-year-old right-hander stymied the Marlins lineup in this magnificent 97-pitch performance to tally his second quality start of the season. Miami never threatened to score off Alexander, who allowed just one extra-base hit -- a Graham Pauley double in the third. Across four starts, Alexander has pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB in 22.2 innings. Despite his steady work, he's likely to lose his rotation spot soon as the Astros have starters Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow), Lance McCullers (blister) and Brandon Walter (elbow) all working their ways back from injuries soon.

Lalane (shoulder) struck out three batters and issued three walks over two scoreless innings for Single-A Tampa on Tuesday after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

On the shelf all season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, Lalane was cleared to rejoin Tampa after making just one three-inning rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. His control was unsurprisingly shaky Tuesday following his return from an extended absence, as he didn't give up a hit but spotted just 18 of his 40 pitches for strikes and hit a batter and threw a wild pitch in addition to issuing three free passes. The 21-year-old southpaw remains one of the Yankees' top lower-level pitching prospects, but some bumpy outings should be expected over the rest of the season while he looks to return to form following surgery.

Mize (10-4) earned the win Monday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

The Detroit right-hander worked around three solo homers in this 67-pitch performance to reach double-digit wins for the first time in his five-year career. Mize also managed to notch his first quality start of the second half, marking his seventh total for the season. Through 100.1 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB while conceding 15 home runs. Mize currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels this weekend.

Lorenzen (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lorenzen landed on the 15-day injured list prior to the All-Star break due to an oblique strain. He was cleared to throw bullpen sessions last week, and he is ready to take the next step in his throwing program by embarking on a rehab assignment. Lorenzen posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:29 K:BB across 99.2 innings prior to his injury.

Olson will not require surgery to repair his injured right shoulder, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The hurler is still awaiting final word on his latest medical evaluation before a path for his rehab is determined, but the good news is that surgery will not be necessary. Olson has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, but he hopes to be available at some point in October if the Tigers make a postseason run.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Rodriguez is scheduled to undergo right elbow debridement surgery early next week and will miss the rest of the season, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

On a positive note, Rodriguez won't be getting Tommy John surgery or any sort of procedure to address ligament damage, as the debridement surgery is designed to prevent future impingement issues in his elbow. Nevertheless, Rodriguez's health record is starting to become a major concern for his long-term outlook, as the 25-year-old also missed extensive time last season due to a lat strain and hasn't made an appearance at the big-league level since July 31, 2024. A firmer timeline for Rodriguez's recovery should be established once surgery is completed, but the right-hander will have a chance at being ready to go for the start of the 2026 season if all goes smoothly during the rehab process.

Blubaugh has joined the Astros' taxi squad in Miami and could be recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The Astros don't have starting pitchers listed for Tuesday's or Wednesday's games versus the Marlins, although Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start one of those contests. Blubaugh is an option to start the other game, or he could be bullpen protection for Arrighetti, who will be making his first start in the majors since April. In one spot start with Houston earlier this season, Blubaugh allowed two runs with six strikeouts over four frames.

McCullers (finger) threw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

While McCullers is already stretched out to four innings, Astros manager Joe Espada indicated Sunday that the righty will throw 1-to-2 more times off a mound and could require a rehab assignment before rejoining the rotation. Espada's comments suggest that McCullers -- who is working his way back from a blister -- probably won't be back with the big club until at least mid-August.
