Horton has a 3.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 28.7 K-BB% in nine starts (39.1 innings) for High-A South Bend.

The No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, Horton made his first four pro starts at Single-A before quickly getting the bump to High-A in early May. With a slew of promotions and graduations, Horton has a case as one of the top five pitching prospects left in the minors. He has given up five or more earned runs in two of his nine starts at High-A, but he had a dominant seven-start run from May 17 through June 29, logging a 1.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 30.2 innings. Given his age (turns 22 in August) and pedigree, Horton should soon get a promotion to Double-A Tennessee.

Cueto (biceps) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Per Craig Mish of the Miami Herald, the Marlins' plan is to use Cueto in relief, at least initially. Given the veteran righty's poor lone start for the Marlins early on this season and his 10.24 ERA in seven rehab outings, it makes sense to deploy Cueto in long relief for now.

Gallen will start for the National League in Tuesday's All-Star Game versus the American League, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

It will be Gallen squaring off against Gerrit Cole (at least for the first inning or two) in the Midsummer Classic. Gallen is manager Rob Thomson's pick after he won 11 games while posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 125:23 K:BB over 118.1 innings covering 19 starts for the NL West-leading Diamondbacks.

High-A Eugene reinstated Corry (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to Single-A San Jose.

Corry made two starts for Eugene in 2022 but has yet to make his 2023 debut for the affiliate after he opened the current campaign on the shelf while finishing up his recovery from the left shoulder surgery he underwent last May. After beginning a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 5, Corry built up to four innings over the course of four starts before shifting his assignment to San Jose on June 28. Since reporting to the California League, the 24-year-old southpaw has given up eight earned runs on 16 hits and four walks while striking out nine in nine innings over his three starts with San Jose.

Bednar (back) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 7 but hasn't made an appearance for the affiliate since June 22.

Though the Giants haven't provided an explanation behind why Bednar hasn't pitched in two and a half weeks, he presumably experienced some sort of setback while on the assignment. Bednar, who has been on High-A Eugene's 7-day injured list all season due to a reported back issue, made four appearances in the ACL and logged a 4.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 10.2 innings.

Davies (1-5) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Pirates.

Most of the damage against Davies came in the second inning when Ji-Man Choi belted a two-run shot. Davies has fallen to 0-4 over his last six starts while posting a brutal 7.85 ERA during that span. Through 11 outings, the veteran righty has registered a 6.37 ERA alongside a 45:24 K:BB through 53.2 innings.

Hendricks did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.

Hendricks set season highs in runs allowed (four) and hits (10) in Sunday's start and was pulled from the contest after allowing back-to-back homers to Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka in the fifth frame -- the third and fourth long balls that Hendricks has given up this season. Despite the tough outing, Hendricks owns a strong 3.04 ERA through nine starts (53.1 innings) to go along with a 32:10 K:BB.

Musgrove (8-2) yielded three hits over six scoreless frames Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Mets.

While he allowed only three singles, Musgrove also plunked four batters. Still, his final line was dominant, and he's gone 7-0 over his last nine starts. During that stretch, he's posted an impressive 54:8 K:BB through 55.1 frames. Musgrove dropped his season ERA to 3.29 with a 79:17 K:BB through 14 starts.

Corbin (6-10) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

After taking the loss in five of his last six starts, Corbin picked up a win against one of baseball's top offenses Sunday. He got off to an incredible start, retiring each of the first 10 batters he faced to end up with one run against him across seven frames. The left-hander has had a rollercoaster stretch of starts, allowing six or more runs in two of his past four starts but has given up just one run between his other two appearances. Overall, Corbin owns a 4.89 ERA through 19 starts, a solid improvement from his ugly 6.31 ERA in 2022. Corbin's tentatively scheduled to make his next start during a three-game series with St. Louis right after the All-Star break.

Hendricks allowed four runs on 10 hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Yankees. He had no walks and struck out five.

Hendricks displayed his typical good control but allowed a season-high 10 hits in an uneven performance. He had allowed a total of 10 hits across 13 innings in his last two starts, so Sunday's outing may just be a blip on the radar. Hendricks has been solid overall with a 3.04 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 53.1 innings this year. The veteran is penciled in to start Chicago's first game after the All-Star break on Friday.
