Keller allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Keller got off to a miserable start, walking three of the first four batters he faced on the way to giving up four runs in the first inning. The right-hander was able to pull it together thereafter, and the only other run he allowed came on a Zack Gelof long ball in the sixth. Keller needed 38 pitches to get through the first frame, yet he managed to spare Pittsburgh's bullpen from being overly taxed by getting through his remaining 4.1 innings on 58 pitches. It was actually the deepest Keller has gone since May 24, as he'd given up five-plus earned runs while tossing fewer than five frames in each of his previous three outings coming into Tuesday.

Wrobleski (8-2) allowed three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Rays on Tuesday.

Wrobleski was efficient in this start, throwing 50 of 67 pitches for strikes in a strong showing of command. Shohei Ohtani's solo shot in the bottom of the sixth inning was all the help he needed, and the Dodgers' bullpen preserved the lead to give Wrobleski his first win in three starts in June. He's allowed four runs over 16.2 innings this month while adding a 10:2 K:BB. The southpaw is at a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 79.1 innings over 13 appearances (12 starts) in a breakout campaign. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start in Minnesota.

Feltner allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Feltner fell behind quickly, giving up a homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong to begin the bottom of the first inning. He yielded another run in the second but kept Chicago off the scoreboard thereafter. Feltner's offense got him three runs and the lead in the top of the fourth frame, but the right-hander was pulled with two outs in the bottom of the inning having thrown 104 pitches. That was easily a season-high mark -- Feltner had previously topped out at 87 pitches in a start against the Dodgers on April 18. Part of the reason for the veteran hurler's elevated pitch count was that the Cubs had trouble putting the ball in play against him, as Chicago batters swung and missed 13 times and fouled off 21 pitches, though that at least helped him to a season-best seven punchouts. Feltner will carry a 5.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB through 41 innings into his next start, which is lined up to come at home versus Boston.

Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with a right hand cramp, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Cabrera made it through 4.1 innings Tuesday before one of the Cubs' trainers came out to the mound to look at his hand. The initial concern was that the 28-year-old was dealing with blisters -- something that's already caused him to spend time on the IL this season -- but he was instead pulled due to an unrelated issue. It's unlikely that his cramps will force him back onto the IL, but it's something the Cubs will presumably monitor leading up to his next start.

Priester (shoulder) will have a follow-up visit Tuesday with thoracic surgeon Dr. Gregory Pearl, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Priester had to be pulled off his rehab assignment last week, as he has struggled to get into any kind of groove as he works his way back from thoracic outlet symptoms. A plan for Priester's next steps will be mapped out following Tuesday's visit. It's unclear at this point whether surgery is a possibility.

The Mets have reinstated Senga (spine/arm) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Senga will return to the big-league club after a seven-week absence due to back and arm injuries. The 33-year-old built up to 75 pitches and six innings during his fourth and final rehab outing, so he'll likely still have some minor workload limitations early on. The Mets optioned Jonathan Pintaro to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Senga on the active roster.

Sullivan (illness) will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Rockies called Sullivan up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Friday to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. Despite being tasked with making his MLB debut in an extreme hitter-friendly venue in Las Vegas, Sullivan was able to keep the Athletics off the board for three innings while striking out three batters and allowing just three baserunners. The 23-year-old lefty ended up having his start cut short after falling ill, but he's since recovered from the ailment and performed well enough during his time on the mound to earn himself another turn through the rotation. Even though he excelled in his debut and will be pitching in a more favorable environment for his second start, Sullivan will still be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes after he posted underwhelming numbers over a larger sample at Triple-A (5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 50:19 K:BB in 54.2 innings).

Robberse (elbow) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Robberse has been cleared to pitch in games as he continues to work his way back from May 2025 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster over the offseason before being re-signed to a minor-league contract. Robberse should eventually join the Memphis rotation once he's deemed ready.

Wrobleski (hamstring) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rays in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Wrobleski sustained a right hamstring contusion during his most recent start in Thursday's win over the Pirates, but manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence after the game the left-hander wouldn't need to miss a turn through the rotation. Roberts' prediction has come to pass, with Wrobleski seemingly being able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session with no complications. Though his 15.5 percent strikeout rate on the season has been one of the lowest marks among all starting pitchers, Wrobleski has delivered a 2.95 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 73.1 innings. He's earned some of his success by walking just 5.4 percent of the batters he's faced, but Wrobleski has been the beneficiary of a .243 BABIP and a 77.9 percent strand rate, both of which will be tough for him to sustain over the course of the season.

Jones (1-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Jones was hampered by the long ball, as he surrendered two-run homers to Nick Kurtz and Jeff McNeil in the second and fourth innings, respectively. The early returns for Jones since making his season debut May 29 have been lackluster, though a slow start from the 24-year-old is hardly surprising given that he's coming off missing all of 2025 due to right elbow surgery. The right-hander will carry a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 17.1 innings (four starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday on the road against the Rockies.
