Musgrove (8-12) took the loss in Wednesday's 11-1 rout at the hands of the Nationals, coughing up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over five innings while striking out one.

All the damage against Musgrove came in the third inning, and it could have been even worse had Yan Gomes not been caught in a rundown between third base and home. The right-hander will carry a 4.74 ERA and 125:34 K:BB through 142.1 innings into his next start Monday in Philadelphia.

Corbin (10-5) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three hits and two walks over eight scoreless innings while striking out four in an 11-1 victory over the Pirates.

The southpaw didn't allow a runner past second base and left the game after 93 pitches (63 strikes), but Tanner Rainey blew the combined shutout in the ninth. Corbin will take a 3.17 ERA and 184:51 K:BB through 161.2 innings into his next start Tuesday, at home against the Orioles.

Teheran (8-8) gave up five hits and three walks while striking out nine through seven scoreless innings to take the win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Teheran generated 14 swinging strikes and 17 called strikes in his eighth win. The 28-year-old has dominated the Marlins this season, allowing one run and a .170 batting average in 32 innings. Teheran has a 3.53 ERA and 137 strikeouts through 27 starts. Teheran will get a tough matchup in his next start Monday against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Gray pitched 4.1 innings against Amarillo on Tuesday, giving up one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six.

The 21-year-old earned Player of the Week honors in his second week with Tulsa and has not slowed down since, allowing four runs and compiling 10 strikeouts in 10.1 innings over three subsequent outings. Gray was traded from the Reds to the Dodgers as part of a package for Yasiel Puig in the offseason and has quickly cemented himself as a top-five prospect in the organization. He is 10-2 with a 2.10 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 136:27 K:BB in 124.1.2 innings across three minor-league levels this season.

Stroman was removed from Wednesday's start against the Indians with left hamstring tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Stroman allowed one run on five hits with one strikeout and one walk before being replaced for the start of the fifth inning by Jeurys Familia. More information should be available on the injury as Stroman continues to be evaluated.

Castillo (12-5) allowed one run on five hits with no walks and four strikeouts across six innings while earning a victory against the Padres on Wednesday.

After his roughest outing of the season in his last start, Castillo responded as one would have expected. He didn't strike out as many as he's averaged per start this year, but with no walks, he also allowed fewer baserunners than normal. Castillo already has set career highs in wins and strikeouts and is posed to do the same in ERA and innings. He has 12 wins with a 3.04 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 179 strikeouts in 154 innings. Castillo will pitch next at the Marlins on Tuesday.

May will make a start on the Dodgers' upcoming road trip, which runs Aug. 26 though Sept. 1, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

May made his first relief outing Sunday but will return to the starting rotation since the Dodgers don't have another scheduled off day until Sept. 5. The 21-year-old threw a bullpen session Wednesday and will throw another this weekend, so he may not be available as a reliever. The Dodgers' specific rotation plans should come into focus as the road trip draws closer, but May seems likely to face the Padres early next week.

Cueto (elbow) will join Triple-A Sacramento for the first of two rehab starts Monday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He gave up six runs (five earned) over two rehab starts (seven innings) for High-A San Jose and is ready to move up to the Pacific Coast League. Assuming his two rehab outings with Sacramento go smoothly, he could join the big-league rotation in early September.

Melville had his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday and is starting against the Diamondbacks.

Melville will join the big-league rotation in place of Jon Gray (foot), who landed on the injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against Arizona. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a lackluster 5.42 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 94:40 K:BB in 96.1 innings with Albuquerque this season, so it would be unwise to expect much from Melville in what will be his first big-league start since 2017.

Gray (foot) was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday with a left foot fracture.

It's unclear when or how Gray suffered the injury -- the right-hander fired eight shutout innings his last time out -- but he'll miss the remainder of the season as a result. He missed a start earlier in the month due to left ankle soreness, though it's not yet known if the two issues are related. According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, Gray is leaning towards undergoing surgery to address the fracture. The 27-year-old was in the midst of a bounce-back season after struggling in 2018; he'll finish the year with a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 150:56 K:BB across 150 innings. Tim Melville was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move and will start in place of Gray on Wednesday.
