Corbin (3-3) allowed four runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out three in 5.2 innings to earn the win against the Orioles on Sunday.

Corbin struggled early in Sunday's contest, as he allowed four consecutive singles to begin the game and gave up three earned runs in the top of the first inning. However, the Nationals gave him just enough run support to return to the win column. The southpaw has recorded a 6.13 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 47 innings this season. Corbin tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Brewers on Saturday.

Gonsolin (shoulder) tossed three scoreless frames in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up one hit (a double) and struck out three while walking none over his 38-pitch appearance.

The Dodgers initially planned for Gonsolin to cover only two innings in his first rehab outing, but because he was economical with his pitch count over the initial two frames, he was allowed to work an extra inning. Gonsolin looked about as sharp as the Dodgers could have hoped in his first game action of the season, and he should be cleared to push his pitch count above 50 when he makes his second rehab start later this week. Gonsolin appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list and join the big-league rotation at some point in early June.

Manager Mike Shildt said that Mikolas' right forearm is "structurally intact" after the 32-year-old underwent an MRI on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

After missing the first month and a half of the season with a sore shoulder, Mikolas finally returned from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut in Saturday's win over the Cubs. He was sharp over his four innings, but forearm tightness resulted in an early end to his start. The Cardinals moved him back to the IL a day later, and though Mikolas appears to have avoided a significant setback, he'll still likely need more than the minimum 10 days to recover from the injury. Johan Oviedo is the leading candidate to replace Mikolas in St. Louis' rotation.

Fried (2-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing a run on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in seven innings versus Pittsburgh.

Fried allowed an RBI double to Bryan Reynolds in the first inning, but he was able to lock it down after that. The southpaw didn't miss a turn through the rotation after he was pulled from last Monday's game with hand cramps. The 27-year-old has allowed just a single run in each of his last four starts since returning from a hamstring strain. He's gotten his season back on track with the successful run and now has a 4.63 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB in 35 innings overall. Fried lines up to face the Mets next weekend.

Brubaker (3-4) allowed seven runs on seven hits and struck out seven over 5.1 innings in a loss to Atlanta on Sunday. He also hit one batter.

Brubaker's inability to limit baserunners made the three home runs he allowed -- two to Austin Riley, one to Dansby Swanson -- hurt all that much more. It was a second consecutive poor outing for the right-hander, who gave up five runs on eight hits and three walks to St. Louis on Tuesday. Brubaker's recent skid has pushed his ERA to 4.20 with a 1.24 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB across 49.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track next weekend at home versus Colorado.

Webb (shoulder) is playing catch Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The 24-year-old landed on the injured list with a left shoulder strain Thursday, so his quick return to throwing is an encouraging sign for his recovery. The Giants previously expressed optimism Webb would miss only one start due to the injury, though it remains to be seen if he's able to return from the injured list Friday when eligible.

Cecconi (wrist) has made two starts for High-A Hillsboro, giving up a run on three hits and three walks while striking out 10 over 7.2 innings.

Cecconi's professional debut was delayed slightly after he suffered a minor injury to his non-throwing wrist during minor-league spring training, but he was cleared to join the Hillsboro rotation in mid-May. The 21-year-old has looked good through his first two turns in the rotation, holding opposing hitters to a lowly .125 average thus far.

Mikolas was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right forearm tightness.

The 32-year-old returned from the injured list Saturday and made his first start since late 2019 after missing the beginning of the season with a shoulder injury, but he was lifted after experiencing forearm tightness. Mikolas also missed the entirety of last season due to forearm surgery, so another arm injury is a worrisome development. The right-hander's recovery timeline should come into focus once the results of his MRI are announced.

Freeland (shoulder) is on track to start Tuesday against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The 28-year-old covered six innings during a rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, and he should remain on a five-day schedule to start Tuesday. Freeland has been sidelined by the shoulder strain since late March and will have a tough time securing the win in his season debut with Jacob deGrom (side) also poised to return from the injured list for the Mets.

Syndergaard (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse this week, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The 28-year-old made his first rehab outing with Low-A St. Lucie on Wednesday and gave up one hit and no walks while recording five strikeouts over four scoreless innings. Syndergaard is about 14 months removed from last year's Tommy John surgery, and the Mets expect him to join the team sometime in mid-June, so he'll likely log a few more rehab starts in the minors.
