Painter gave up five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings during Friday's 6-0 loss at Milwaukee.

The rookie right-hander surrendered at least four runs for a third straight outing, though he avoided being charged with a fourth consecutive loss since Tanner Banks gave up a run as the opener. Painter has allowed 12 homers in 13 appearances this season and has a 6.43 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB across 63 innings.

Roupp (5-7) allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Cubs on Friday.

Roupp got through the order once without much trouble, but the Cubs started to get to him in the fourth inning. He left two runners on base when he exited in the fifth, and reliever Erik Miller let both of them score when Michael Busch went deep. Roupp has allowed at least four runs in five of his eight starts since the beginning of May, and he's gone 0-6 in that span after starting the year pretty well. The right-hander has a 4.24 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:32 K:BB through 74.1 innings over 14 starts this season. The strikeout potential remains tempting, but his inconsistency makes Roupp tough to trust. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Atlanta, which is a very challenging matchup.

Sullivan was removed from his start Friday against the Athletics due to an illness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Sullivan gave up two hits and zero walks while striking out two batters in three shutout innings, but his MLB debut ended prematurely once he began to feel under the weather. Despite his brief outing, the 23-year-old southpaw may have pitched well enough in an extremely hitter-friendly environment to earn another start with the big club.

Misiorowski (8-2) struck out 15 and earned the win Friday against the Phillies, giving up one hit and no walks in a complete game shutout.

The only baserunner the flamethrowing righty allowed came on a fourth-inning single by Kyle Schwarber, who was then wiped out by a double play. Misiorowski was dominant in every sense of the word, throwing 74 of 95 pitches for strikes while generating a whopping 26 whiffs. The 24-year-old has surrendered just one earned run and 19 hits over his past eight starts (54.1 innings), and he has an 80:9 K:BB during that span.

Strider was removed from Friday's game against the Mets due to right arm soreness.

Strider gave up six runs across the first two innings of the game and was displaying diminished velocity at the start of the fourth, prompting Atlanta's training staff to take him out of the game. It remains unknown what exactly the 27-year-old righty is dealing with, but the team should provide some clarity in the near future.

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said Friday that Dollander will likely undergo surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Rockies were originally optimistic that Dollander would avoid surgery after landing on the IL in May with a sprained elbow, but things appear to have taken a turn after a month of rest. The 24-year-old was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday and will almost certainly be ruled out for the remainder of the season once he goes under the knife.

The Brewers placed Crow on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right forearm flexor strain.

Crow pitched two shutout innings during his last outing Tuesday against the A's, but he appears to have come away from his appearance with forearm problems. He'll be forced to miss at least the next two weeks as a result, and the Brewers will recall Craig Yoho from Triple-A Nashville to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

The Rockies transferred Dollander (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Dollander initially landed on the injured list in mid-May with a sprained right elbow, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains sidelined through the All-Star break. The Rockies don't believe the 24-year-old will require surgery, though he is still seeking out a second opinion. Sean Sullivan was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

The Rockies optioned Peralta to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Peralta was promoted from Triple-A on Sunday and gave up a solo homer while striking out three batters across two innings during his lone outing with the big club. He'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Sean Sullivan, who was called up to start Friday's contest.

The Rockies selected Sullivan's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Friday against the Athletics.

Sullivan will be making his MLB debut Friday, though he will be doing so in a very hitter-friendly environment at Las Vegas Ballpark after posting a 5.76 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 54.2 innings at Triple-A, making him a less-than-desirable fantasy option. Sammy Peralta was optioned to Albuquerque to make room for Sullivan on the active roster, and Chase Dollander (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.
