Eickhoff is no longer a member of Philadelphia's starting rotation, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Eickhoff was shelled by the Diamondbacks on Monday, allowing seven runs over three-plus innings, so the Phillies have elected to move him to the bullpen. It remains to be seen who will take Eickhoff's spot in the rotation.

Wheeler (5-4) took the loss, allowing nine runs (five earned) on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday against the Yankees.

Wheeler, who lost his first game since May 16, was staked to a 4-1 lead in the top of the third inning but gave one back in the bottom of the third and then ran into big trouble in the fourth as Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer and Luke Voit added a three-run blast to give the Yankees a 7-4 lead. The 29-year-old came out for the fifth but permitted two more runs and was removed after 94 pitches. Wheeler has a 4.87 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, and he'll look to rebound Sunday at home against the Cardinals.

Keuchel allowed a hit and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out nine in his first rehab start with Low-A Rome on Monday.

Predictably, the former Cy Young Award winner was too much for Sally League hitters, despite his long layoff from facing live competition. Keuchel, who threw 77 pitches Monday, will likely make his next start for Triple-A Gwinnett over the weekend. If all goes well in that outing, his subsequent turn could come next week as a member of the Atlanta rotation.

Anderson gave up one run on five hits and three walks over five innings while striking out nine for Double-A Mississippi on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old now leads the Southern League in strikeouts with 86 after fanning at least seven batters in four straight starts and six of his last nine. Anderson's 3.02 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 5.0 BB/9 through 65.2 innings highlight that he's far from a finished product, but Atlanta's No. 4 fantasy prospect is still on pace to potentially make his big-league debut in 2020 if he keeps racking up K's.

Ryu didn't factor into the decision against the Angels on Monday, giving up one earned run on seven hits over six innings, striking out six and walking none in a 5-3 defeat for the Dodgers.

He didn't get his 10th win, but Ryu nonetheless continued his Cy Young-caliber start to the season, as he's now sporting a 1.36 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP to go along with a ridiculous 77:5 K:BB through 86 innings. Remarkably, the 32-year-old still hasn't given up more than two earned in a start all season, a streak he'll look to continue when he takes on the Cubs in a home matchup in his next start on Sunday.

Gonzalez, who cleared waivers and was outrighted off the 40-man roster Monday, will remain with Double-A Springfield, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez was designated for assignment Saturday, and he'll now head back to a Springfield club for which he'd generated a 6.75 ERA and 2.17 WHIP across 24.0 innings across 21 appearances.

Darvish threw six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Monday, giving up four earned runs on six hits, striking out three and walking none in the Cubs' 6-5 defeat.

Darvish mostly pitched well in this contest, but third-inning long balls from Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado accounted for all of the damage against him and would ultimately force him to settle for a no-decision. The right-hander has been pitching better lately, but an erratic start to the season still leaves him with a 4.98 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP through 72.1 innings. He's scheduled to take the mound next on the road against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Marquez didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Monday, giving up four earned runs on five hits over six innings, striking out seven and walking two as the Rockies eventually prevailed 6-5.

Marquez endured a disastrous third inning in which he conceded three homers, but he buckled down after that and managed to salvage a respectable final stat line. The Cubs hit him hard in his last start as well, as Marquez gave up 12 earned runs over 11.1 innings in his back-to-back outings against them, bumping his ERA up to 4.19 on the season through 96.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which will pit him against the Padres at Coors Field on Saturday.

Eickhoff (3-4) took the loss Monday, surrendering seven runs on five hits -- all five of them home runs -- and two walks over three-plus innings while striking out two as the Phillies were downed 13-8 by the Diamondbacks.

Arizona's first three batters of the night all took Eickhoff yard. then Eduardo Escobar and Alex Avila chased him from the game in the fourth inning with two-run shots. The D-backs ended up setting a club record with eight total homers, while the two teams combined for an MLB-record 13 long balls. Eickhoff will take a 5.02 ERA, 50:17 K:BB and ghastly 2.5 HR/9 through 57.1 innings into his next start Sunday in Atlanta.

Gausman gave up four runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four through 2.1 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Monday.

A horrific third inning that featured his own throwing error and a three-run home run led to the early exit for Gausman. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily through 13 starts with a 2-5 record and a 6.21 ERA. Gausman is lined up to make another start Saturday against the Phillies, but he may need to perform well in that outing to stick in the rotation thereafter. The newly acquired Dallas Keuchel could be ready to join the big club as soon as next week.
