Cabrera (biceps) is scheduled to throw a second live batting practice session later this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera experienced no setbacks with his left arm after throwing 20 pitches against live hitters Saturday, so he'll repeat the activity again before potentially beginning a minor-league rehab assignment. The Marlins will likely have the 23-year-old build up his pitch count over at least a couple outings at the lower levels of the minors before he eventually settles into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Sanchez (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Sanchez has been dealing with inflammation in his right shoulder since the end of March. The team has brought him along very cautiously, prioritizing his long-term health over maximizing his innings in a season in which they look like clear underdogs. While his progress has been slow, it's been fairly steady, and he remains on track to return sometime in June if he can continue avoiding setbacks.

Lodolo was named the Double-A South Player of the Week after he struck out 11 while allowing only two baserunners over 7.1 innings in his May 19 start for Chattanooga.

The duo of Lodolo and fellow top pitching prospect Hunter Greene at the top of the Chattanooga rotation has proven formidable over the first month of the minor-league season. After his big week, Lodolo is holding down a 0.57 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 14.2 K/9 through three starts, while Greene (1.69 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14.1 K/9) boasts similarly brilliant ratios. The Reds would probably prefer to keep the 23-year-old lefty in the minors until 2022, but that could change if the big club finds itself in playoff contention late in the second half of the season and the pitching staff needs a boost.

Ashby is 1-0 with a 4.20 ERA and 19:15 K:BB in 15 innings over four starts with Triple-A Nashville.

Ashby is pitching at the Triple-A level for the first time, and although his walk rate clearly needs some fixing, he is missing bats, averaging over a punchout per inning while allowing just 10 hits over his first four starts. Ashby is one of the Brewers' top pitching prospects and will have a chance to see big-league action at some point this season if he can iron out the kinks. However, he has not thrown more than 126 innings as a pro, so he may work as a reliever if he indeed reaches the top level in 2021.

Peralta didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning seven across 4.2 innings.

Peralta might have ended just one out away from recording his fifth win of the season, but he showed swing-and-miss stuff once again -- he's fanned at least seven in nine straight appearances and owns what would be a career-best figure of 13.8 K/9 through his first 10 appearances of the campaign. He has also posted a 2.54 ERA in that span -- that would also be a career-best figure for the 25-year-old right-hander. Peralta's next turn to pitch is slated to come Friday on the road against the Nationals.

DeSclafani (4-2) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers after giving up 10 runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 2.2 innings.

DeSclafani gave up runs in the second and third innings, however, most of the damage was done in the third when the Dodgers pieced together seven runs on five hits, including a grand slam by Gavin Lux to make it a 10-0 ballgame. Sunday was by far the worst performance of the season for the 31-year-old right-hander as his ERA shot up to 3.54 and it was the second time all year he's failed to last five innings. He'll look to redeem himself over the weekend against the Dodgers again.

Urias (7-1) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out 10 hitters over six innings as he got the win over the Giants on Sunday. He also went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and a run scored as a hitter.

Urias was phenomenal as he took a perfect game into the sixth inning before Mike Tauchman broke it up with a single and Austin Slater put the Giants on the board with a two-run homer. The 24-year-old was otherwise excellent as he whiffed double-digit batters for the third time this season. He'll take a 3.03 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 70:7 K:BB into his next scheduled start.

Wainwright went eight innings Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on one hit and a walk with seven strikeouts in a 2-1 loss. He received a no-decision.

Wainwright dominated Chicago all game, but St. Louis was unable to muster any runs until the 10th inning, when it was too late. The 39-year-old has alternated poor and excellent outings this month and remains a risk/reward streamer as a result.

Davies took a no-decision Sunday against St. Louis, pitching five innings and allowing no runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in a 2-1 win.

Davies labored a bit by surrendering multiple base runners in three different innings but was able to prevent the big blow and keep the Cardinals off the board. The righty needed 71 pitches to get through five innings and most likely had at least one more inning in him, but manager David Ross opted to pinch hit for Davies in the top of the sixth, ending his night. After a rough April, Davies has been much better in May, allowing five runs across five starts.

Gray allowed three runs on two hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's win against Arizona. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Gray cruised through four perfect innings before yielding a leadoff single in the fifth. Arizona finally got on the board in the sixth on a Ketel Marte sacrifice fly followed by a two-run blast off the bat of Pavin Smith. Gray avoided losing a third straight game but still slightly raised his season ERA to 3.59. He's lined up to take the mound in Pittsburgh late next week.
