Anderson (2-3) gave up two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five over 6.2 innings Monday against the Padres. He took the loss.

Anderson took a no-hitter into the seventh inning but was unable to navigate the middle of San Diego's lineup a third time. He's now allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight starts and is the owner of a 3.24 ERA.

Houser (2-3) took the loss after surrendering four runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings Monday night against the Phillies.

Houser gave up a two-run blast in the bottom of the first inning and two unearned runs in the second following a throwing error by shortstop Luis Urias, but he managed to settle down from there. He retired 14 of the last 15 batters before being removed from the contest. Houser owns a 3.52 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 21:11 K:BB across 30.2 frames in 2021.

Velasquez (1-0) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings Monday against Milwaukee.

Velasquez surrendered a solo home run to the second batter of the contest, but he managed to settle down and turn in a quality outing. It's unclear if the right-hander will receive another turn through the rotation, but he did nearly all he could to earn another look, even with Matt Moore back from the COVID-19 injured list. Velasquez owns a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 24 punchouts over 18.1 innings.

Oviedo is expected to be called up to start Tuesday against the Mets, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Oviedo hasn't been in the minors for the required 10 days, so someone will have to be placed on the injured list if he's to return Tuesday. He's made one start and one relief appearance this season, posting an 11:4 K:BB over 9.2 innings while allowing three earned runs.

Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday.

Sanchez was called up for the first time in mid-April but did not yet the chance to make his MLB debut. He'll give the team an extra lefty in the bullpen during his time on the roster. Scott Kingery was optioned in a corresponding move.

Buehler will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Buehler was expected to start Monday's series opener before the contest was postponed due to inclement weather. He's coming off a tough outing Tuesday against the Reds, surrendering five runs and striking out 10 over 6.1 frames.

Buehler won't start Monday against the Cubs as previously scheduled, as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Tuesday. Buehler is expected to start one of those two games.

Hendricks will not start Monday against the Dodgers as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Tuesday. Hendricks will likely start the first of those games.

Marquez won't start Monday against San Francisco as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Marquez will presumably start one of those games, though the Rockies have yet to announce which.

May will undergo Tommy John surgery May 11, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

May felt something in his arm in his latest start Saturday against the Brewers and was forced to exit in the second inning. An MRI confirmed that surgery was needed Monday. The procedure typically takes over a year to recover from, so May probably won't pitch again at the big-league level until the second half of the 2022 season.
