Tabor threw a seven-inning no-hitter for Double-A Amarillo on Sunday, silencing San Antonio while striking out three and walking two.

A 2017 third-round pick, Tabor earned a promotion to Double-A at the beginning of June, and he's posted a 4.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 33 innings since. This was an impressive performance, and it's noteworthy that Tabor has shown the ability to pitch deep into games, having finished seven innings three times this year. That said, he doesn't have the most overwhelming stuff and his command is a work in progress. If it comes along, he could be a viable big-league starter.

Parker was promoted to High-A Wilmington on Monday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Parker was Washington's fifth-round pick in 2020. He's displayed the strikeout stuff the Nationals were hoping to see, having fanned 85 while posting a 4.08 ERA across 57.1 innings with Low-A Fredericksburg. He'll look to continue punching out batters at a high rate with Wilmington.

Cabrera was assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The right-handed prospect is finally up at Triple-A, where he would have began his season if not for right biceps inflammation. Cabrera's most recent start at Double-A Pensacola was his worst, as he allowed four runs in 5.2 innings. He did fan seven batters for his second consecutive start, though. Cabrera made five starts for Pensacola, posting a 2.77 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 26 innings. It remains to be seen whether the hard-throwing 23-year-old will get any action with the Marlins this year, as he could remain in Jacksonville to continue developing during what doesn't figure to be a contending season for the big-league club.

Gore has been at the Padres' spring training facility in Arizona since mid-June while working on his delivery, Colin Deaver of KTSM.com reports.

Gore struggled mightily through six starts for Triple-A El Paso, and after he surrendered six runs in 1.1 innings June 18, the Padres moved him to the alternate site due to blisters on his pitching hand. He's remained there even after getting over the blisters, working on refining his delivery and his arm action. There's no timeline for Gore to return to Triple-A -- much less make his major-league debut -- but general manager AJ Preller did say "we're hoping he's an option here at some point in the second half of the season," which would seem to indicate that the team is still open to bringing him up this year if he can work through his issues. Although this season has taken a bit of the shine off Gore as a prospect, fantasy managers would do well to remember that he's still just 22 years old and has plenty of time to work on his game.

Cavalli has posted a 3.80 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB across 21.1 innings (four starts) since being promoted to Double-A Harrisburg.

The strikeout rate is nothing short of fantastic and he's still doing a great job limiting hits and homers, but Cavalli has struggled with walks against the more selective hitters in Double-A. Even so, it's hard not to be impressed that he's struck out a total of 103 batters in 62 innings while allowing just two home runs all season. If he can fine-tune his command over the remainder of the campaign, he'll certainly remain on track to make his MLB debut next season.

Meyer is 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 54:27 K:BB across 11 starts for Double-A Pensacola.

He's given up one or zero runs in nine of those starts, but even so, Meyer doesn't appear quite ready for the big leagues. He's pitched around a 4.5 BB/9 successfully in Double-A, but that'll be much harder to do at baseball's highest level. It seems like it'd be best for Meyer's development to remain in the minors, work on his command, and refine his changeup. With the Marlins mired in last place in the NL East, they have no reason to rush him.

Carrasco (hamstring) is scheduled to pitch one inning in a rehab game at High-A Brooklyn on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Since being acquired in January from Cleveland, Carrasco has been sidelined with a sore elbow and a torn hamstring, but he finally looks to be closing in on his Mets debut now that he's been cleared to move on to the final phase of his recovery program. Because of his lengthy layoff from game action, Carrasco will be eased back in Thursday with a light pitch count, and he'll gradually ramp up his workload from there. The Mets are loosely targeting early August for Carrasco to return from the 60-day injured list, assuming he endures no setbacks with the hamstring during the rehab assignment.

Rutledge (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with the Nationals' Florida Complex League affiliate Friday, giving up two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one over one inning.

The appearance was Rutledge's first since May 21 after a sore right shoulder had kept him out of action for more than six weeks. The 22-year-old may need another outing or two in the FCL to build up his pitch count before he's activated from High-A Wilmington's 7-day injured list.

Freeland (finger) is listed as the Rockies' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Freeland's final start of the first half July 9 against the Padres ended early due to a blister on his pitching hand, but the All-Star break will afford the southpaw plenty of time to recover. Assuming he's able to complete a bullpen session later this week without incident, he'll take the hill for the third game of the Rockies' series with the Dodgers.

Mikolas (forearm) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions and appears to be on target for starting a rehab assignment in late July, the team's official site reports.

The veteran right-hander has encouragingly been able to get through the resumption of his bullpen sessions without setbacks, but the Cardinals, wary of his recent injury history, will be cautions. Mikolas is expected to pitch consecutive outings with lower pitch counts during his rehab assignment before his volume is boosted, which means he'll likely be deemed ready for activation before he's been built up to a full starter's workload.
