Yarbrough (oblique) has been throwing bullpens, per MLB.com.

Yarbrough landed on the IL due to an oblique strain in late June and initially went through a no-throw period. The southpaw resumed playing catch July 9, and he's now progressed to mound work. Yarbrough could return to action in early August if he continues to progress without setbacks.

Alexander didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

Alexander set a season high in punchouts, though he walked multiple batters in his fifth outing in a row. The 32-year-old right-hander was pulled after tossing 80 pitches, but he was at least able to limit the damage and eat some innings for Houston's injury-plagued rotation. Alexander's next turn tentatively projects for next week in Miami against the Marlins, though it's possible Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) will be ready to come off the injured list by then. Through 25.2 innings, Alexander has a 7.36 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB.

Lugo (8-5) earned the win in Tuesday's 9-6 victory over Atlanta, allowing three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings.

Lugo cruised through the first five frames before running into trouble in the sixth, surrendering a solo homer to Austin Riley and a two-run shot to Marcell Ozuna that cut into Kansas City's lead. Despite the rough inning, Lugo was able to do enough to earn his eighth win of the season, and the fifth in his last eight starts. The 35-year-old now holds a 3.90 ERA with a 28:9 K:BB over 30 innings in the month of July and remains a steady presence in the Royals' rotation.

Giolito (7-2) allowed a run on five hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Twins.

Giolito rolled through four shutout frames before Minnesota scratched across a run in the fifth inning. He delivered a strong bounce-back outing after coughing up a combined nine runs over 9.1 innings in his previous two outings. He fired 61 of 101 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including nine with his changeup. Giolito now owns a 3.80 ERA over 87.2 innings this season, but it's been a very up-and-down year; he's given up two earned runs or fewr in 10 of his 16 starts, but he's been tagged with five or more runs in four outings. Giolito is projected to face the Royals at home next week.

Ohl (0-1) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk over three innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Boston.

Ohl's MLB debut got off to a decent start with two scoreless innings and three punchouts in the first inning. However, he stumbled in the third, coughing up four runs, capped off by Trevor Story's two-run shot. Ohl has primarily worked out of the bullpen in the minors this year, registering a 2.17 ERA across 22 appearances (66.1 frames). He hasn't thrown more than four innings in any outing this year, but he had a fairly normal starter's workload with Double-A Wichita in 2024. It remains to be seen if he'll get another turn in the rotation. Minnesota's staff is a bit shaken up due to several injuries and a recent trade sending Chris Paddack to the Tigers.

Cannon (4-8) yielded six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Phillies.

All the damage against Cannon came in the first three innings, with four runs coming in the third on a pair of two-run homers by Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh. Cannon did not let another baserunner reach scoring position after that ugly frame. He's been tagged with 12 runs (11 earned) in his last two outings, raising his season ERA from 4.18 to 4.77 in the process. Prior to these two starts, he was 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four appearances since his last loss June 2. Cannon is projected to take the mound in Seattle next week.

Bradish (elbow) made his second rehab start for Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday, allowing one hit and no walks in 3.2 shutout innings. He struck out two.

Bradish was sharp on the mound while cruising through 3.2 frames. The 28-year-old right-hander built up to only 38 pitches Tuesday, after he fired 37 in first appearance with High-A Aberdeen last Thursday. Bradish remains a worthy stash candidate in most fantasy leagues -- he had a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB across eight starts in 2024 -- though he's still in line to make several more rehab starts before rejoining Baltimore's rotation.

Povich (hip) made a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

While the final stat line leaves quite a bit to be desired, Povich was at least able to stretch out his pitch count to 86 on Tuesday. Provided he comes away from the outing feeling well physically, the left-hander should be just about ready to be activated from the injured list. With Trevor Rogers turning in a 1.49 ERA and 0.79 WHIP through his eight major-league starts in 2025, the Orioles could choose to option Povich to the minor leagues upon reinstating him, or perhaps put him in the bullpen depending on what they do at the trade deadline.

Morton (7-8) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on eight hits and three walks over six innings in a 16-4 rout. He struck out two.

The 41-year-old righty didn't have his best stuff, managing just eight swinging strikes among his 100 pitches (64 total strikes), but Morton was able to produce his third quality start in his last four outings, and sixth of the season. He's allowed more than three runs only once in his last eight trips to the mound, posting a 3.97 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB over 45.1 innings during that stretch. Morton lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

The Twins recalled Ohl from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Minnesota lists Ohl as its starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox in what will be the right-hander's MLB debut. Ohl has worked as both a starter and reliever across three minor-league levels this season and has a 2.17 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 79:10 K:BB over 66.1 innings.
