Milone (0-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks without recording a strikeout in 4.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Giants.

Milone navigated a lot of traffic fairly well, but the Mariners' offense put up just seven hits in the 2-0 loss. The southpaw threw 81 pitches (49 strikes) in the start. Milone was filling in for Bryce Miller (finger) in the rotation. If Miller remains out after the All-Star break, Milone could draw another start.

The Yankees optioned Vasquez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Vasquez was promoted Wednesday for a spot start against Baltimore, and he will now head back to the minors immediately following the game. The 24-year-old righty threw five scoreless innings, surrendering three hits and three walks while recording only one strikeout. Vasquez now holds an impressive 1.17 ERA through 15.1 frames, but his 5.11 ERA in Triple-A tells a very different story on how his 2023 has been so far.

Quantrill (2-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on 11 hits over 4.1 innings as the Guardians fell 8-1 to Atlanta. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The right-hander was the latest victim of an Atlanta offense that seems unstoppable right now, as Quantrill got tagged for four runs in the top of the first inning. He's lost four straight starts, two on either side of a month-long absence due to shoulder inflammation, and Quantrill holds a 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB through 67 innings on the year. His spot in the Cleveland rotation is by no means secure coming out of the All-Star break.

Kremer (9-4) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk over seven innings against the Yankees. He struck out 10.

It was quite a bounce-back outing from Kremer after he allowed seven runs in just three innings in his last start against the Twins. The 27-year-old right-hander set a new season high with 10 strikeouts while allowing just one earned run on Josh Donaldson's solo homer in the fifth inning. Kremer lowered his ERA to 4.78 with a 1.37 WHIP and 92:25 K:BB across 18 starts (98 innings) this season in what'll likely be his last start before the All-Star break.

Rodriguez (4-5) allowed five runs on six hits across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Athletics. He had no walks and struck out seven.

Making his first start since May 28 due to a finger injury, Rodriguez was understandably a bit rusty as he turned in his shortest outing of the season. A pair of home runs did the most damage against the lefty, including a two-run shot by Ryan Noda in the first inning. Despite the poor result, it was a positive just to see Rodriguez out there, and the seven strikeouts are an encouraging sign. He'll carry a strong 2.64 ERA into his next start, which could come July 14 against the Mariners when Detroit returns to action after the All-Star break.

Berrios won't start Wednesday against the White Sox because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The Blue Jays will play a doubleheader with the White Sox on Thursday, and Berrios figures to pitch in one of the two games. Berrios holds a 6.19 ERA and 1.38 WHIP alongside a 20:3 K:BB through 16 frames across his last three starts.

Lynn won't start Wednesday against the Blue Jays because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The White Sox and Blue Jays will play a doubleheader Thursday to make up for Wednesday's game, and Lynn figures to pitch in one of the two contests. The 36-year-old righty has struggled heavily this season, accumulating a 6.72 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 96 innings across 17 starts.

Detmers will start the Angels' final game of the first half Saturday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It's Tyler Anderson's turn, but the Angels are off Sunday and would rather have Anderson available in relief, if needed. The matchup for Detmers is a difficult one, but he's been on a roll over his last five starts with a 1.42 ERA and 43:10 K:BB in 31.2 innings. One of his outings during that stretch came against the Dodgers, as he blanked them for seven frames back on June 20.

Anderson will be available in relief for the Angels until the All-Star break, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels need just two starters before the break and they believe Anderson is better suited for relief, if needed, than Griffin Canning or Reid Detmers. It's been a disappointing start to Anderson's tenure in Anaheim, with the lefty posting a 5.20 ERA in 15 starts.

France (4-3) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out four.

France allowed the leadoff man to reach base in three of his first five innings of work and it finally cost him in the fifth, as he surrendered two runs on singles by Harold Castro and Jurickson Profar after walking Nolan Jones to open the frame. The right-hander would still make it through six innings for the seventh consecutive start, however, while going on to record his fourth win. France also has not allowed more than three runs in any game over that stretch and now holds a solid 3.26 ERA after Wednesday's outing.
