Wainright (0-3) fired a complete game Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and taking the loss against Philadelphia. He struck out eight across nine innings.

Wainwright kept the Phillies off the board for the first six innings, letting just three runners on base and inducing two double plays. He coughed up a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the seventh to break the 0-0 tie and later served up a ninth-inning blast to Hoskins. The 39-year-old righty took the unfortunate loss but lowered his season ERA to 4.08 across 28.2 innings. Wainwright will take the mound in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Cueto (lat) won't be able to return until May 9 at the earliest, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Cueto was originally expected to miss two starts when he landed on the injured list with a lat strain in mid-April. His new timeline means he'll miss at least four. He's expected to advance to live batting practice next week.

Fried (hamstring) could be activated during Atlanta's early-May series in Washington, which runs from May 4 to May 6, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Fried has been out since April 13 due to a right hamstring strain. He threw off a mound Monday and will throw live batting practice later in the week, with an eye towards returning during the series against the Nationals if he gets through those sessions without setbacks.

Falter was sent back to the team's alternate site Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Falter got to make his major-league debut Sunday but had to do so at Coors Field. He gave up two runs on four hits in two innings of work. He could be back up when the Phillies need another lefty later in the season but will make way for Jose Alvarado, who returned from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Fried (hamstring) threw live batting practice Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Fried has been out for just shy of two weeks with a strained right hamstring. Atlanta has yet to announce when he'll be activated, but it's possible he returns over the weekend against the Blue Jays. With that series being played in an American League park, Fried wouldn't have to worry about aggravating his hamstring issue while running the bases.

Fried (hamstring) threw a side session and took fielding drills Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The southpaw is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring strain, but as yet there's no timetable for Fried's return to the rotation. As he's already been sidelined for two weeks, he'll need some time to ramp back up even after he's 100 percent healthy, and Atlanta won't want to risk Fried aggravating the injury by rushing him back.

Webb (1-1) pitched seven scoreless innings in a win over the Marlins on Sunday. He allowed just three hits while also walking three and striking out eight.

Webb contributed on both sides of the baseball Sunday, as he gave himself some run support with a two-run triple in the second inning to put the Giants up 3-0. The 24-year-old was dominant on the mound too. He was able to work around three hits and three walks by prompting three double-plays and also tied his career-high in punchouts with eight. He'll look to keep things rolling in his next scheduled start against the Padres on Saturday.

Anderson (0-3) allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just two over 3.2 innings in a defeat to the Rockies on Sunday.

Anderson was cruising along through the first three innings but completely fell apart in the fourth. He ended up loading the bases with a walk and proceeded to allow back-to-back RBI singles before walking another batter to keep all the bases occupied. Phillies' manager Joe Girardi decided he had seen enough and brought in David Hale to try and finish the inning. He ended up watching Trevor Story trot around the bases after crushing a hanging curveball over the wall in left for a grand slam. Anderson ended up being charged six runs in the inning and now owns a 6.48 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP over 16.2 innings. He'll be in search of his first win this season when he takes the bump against the Mets on Friday.

Gray (3-1) earned another win Sunday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Gray allowed two early solo home runs to Bryce Harper but otherwise held the rest of the Phillies lineup quiet en route to his third victory of the season. Four of Gray's five starts have come at the hitter-friendly Coors Field thus far but he's managed to go 3-0 with a 1.85 ERA and owns a 24:11 K:BB through 24.1 innings. His next scheduled start is set to be Friday versus the Diamondbacks, a team he picked up his first win of the season against after allowing one run over 6.2 strong innings back on April 8.

Musgrove allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four across three innings in Sunday's win over the Dodgers. He did not factor in the decision.

The Dodgers were able to get to Musgrove early, forcing him to go deep into counts resulting in 77 pitches in three innings. Coming off a 13-strikeout performance in his last outing against the Brewers, Musgrove was only able to muster four punchouts on a tough Dodgers offense. The 28-year-old's ERA raised from 1.04 to 1.55 after Sunday's performance.
