Suarez allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in 5.2 innings in a 7-6 win Tuesday against Cincinnati. He did not factor into the decision.

Suarez held the Reds scoreless through the first five innings, scattering three hits and a walk. In the sixth he allowed three hits and three walks and was removed with two outs after three runs had scored. The four walks tied a season high for the lefty and it was the first time since June 17 that he walked more than two batters in a game. Since returning from a back injury in mid-July, the 26-year-old has a 1.54 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB while allowing one homer in 41 innings across seven starts. His next start will likely be early next week in Arizona.

Lodolo allowed four runs on three hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out five in 5.1 innings in a 7-6 loss Tuesday in Philadelphia. He did not factor into the decision.

Lodolo retired the first 11 batters he faced and did not allow a hit until the sixth inning. Things fell apart in the sixth as the rookie allowed four baserunners and each eventually came around to score. He has now hit a batter in four straight starts and 11 times in 12 starts in the majors. Through 60 big-league innings, he has a 4.35 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB.

Rodon (12-6) earned a win after he pitched seven innings, surrendering one run on five hits while striking out 10 in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

Rodon was in full command Tuesday, tossing six scoreless innings before the Tigers finally scratched a run across in the bottom of the seventh, accounting for all the damage against him. The left-hander registered double-digit punchouts for the second straight start and for the fourth time in six outings. Rodon has now compiled three consecutive quality starts, allowing four runs over 19 innings while striking out 28 batters over that stretch. He now owns a 2.81 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 189 strikeouts over 147.1 frames in 25 outings this season.

Houser (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old joined the Brewers in Los Angeles as a member of the taxi squad Monday, and he'll re-enter the starting rotation Wednesday after being sidelined nearly eight weeks by a right flexor strain. Houser was originally scheduled to throw 60-to-75 pitches in a minor-league rehab start Sunday before the change of plan, and he's likely to have a similar workload his first outing back with Milwaukee.

Wainwright (9-9) took the loss against the Cubs in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three in six innings.

Wainwright allowed only seven baserunners in his previous two starts combined, spanning 16 innings, but allowed nine baserunners over six frames Tuesday. Both runs scored in the third inning when Nico Hoerner drove in a run with a groundout and Seiya Suzuki singled in a run. It marked the fifth time in his last six starts that he allowed two or fewer runs and pitched at least six innings. He's posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 40 innings in that span.

Cavalli is trending toward making his MLB debut this season, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

One of the top pitching prospects in the game, Cavalli is currently listed as Triple-A Rochester's starting pitcher Saturday in Indianapolis, but Blanco reports the sense is that Cavalli is getting close to making his MLB debut. The 6-foot-4 righty got off to a shaky start to the season, but he has a 2.10 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 77:25 K:BB in 68.2 innings over his last 13 starts.

Darvish was placed on the paternity list by the Padres on Tuesday.

The veteran right-hander, who was previously scheduled to start Wednesday against the Guardians, will instead step away from the team for a few days in order to be with his family. According to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Blake Snell will have his spot in the rotation pushed up to the series finale versus Cleveland. Darvish could rejoin the Padres as early as Friday's series opener in Kansas City.

Buehler (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery and flexor tendon repair surgery Tuesday.

Buehler had Tommy John surgery the year he was drafted (2015), so this is his second go-round with the procedure. Given the timing of the surgery and the fact that he has a lot riding on his recovery going smoothly, it's possible he won't pitch in games until the 2024 season.

DeGrom will start Thursday against the Rockies, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.

He was originally going to pitch Tuesday against the Yankees, but the Mets pushed him back. It's good to know it was not due to anything physically serious enough for him miss a start this week. This allows deGrom to line up to face the Dodgers next week.

The Reds placed Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right biceps soreness.

Ashcraft had been confirmed to start Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, so the biceps soreness may have cropped up in his most recent bullpen session following his last outing Friday in Pittsburgh. Right-hander T.J. Zeuch was one of three players called up from Triple-A Louisville, and he could enter the rotation Wednesday if he isn't needed out of the bullpen Tuesday. Ashcraft had gotten off to a nice start to the second half, having posted a 3.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB across 38.1 innings coming out of the All-Star break. Per Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Ashcraft is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, but since the rookie right-hander isn't dealing with any elbow pain, the Reds are hopeful he'll pitch again in 2022, according to manager David Bell.
