Anderson will undergo left knee surgery, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Anderson posted an 11.76 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in five starts this season before being optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque and subsequently diagnosed with knee inflammation. Whether or not the surgery will keep him out all year won't be known until the procedure is complete.

Wacha will not start Tuesday against the Royals as the game has been postponed due to rain, Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com reports.

The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader Wednesday. Wacha will presumably start one of the two contests.

Urias was officially reinstated from administrative leave Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The league's investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident continues, and Urias could still face a suspension once it concludes, but he'll be allowed to play for now as the league has been unable to obtain video evidence of the incident. He'll return to the active roster, with Kyle Garlick optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to clear a spot.

Paddack improved to 4-2 on the season after allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven in a six-inning start against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Paddack failed to make it out of the fifth inning in his previous start but looked as good as ever Monday. A small rally, involving no extra-base hits, got the Diamondbacks their only run in the third inning, but Paddack only allowed one other runner to reach second base the rest of the game. The rookie's ERA now sits at an incredible 1.93 through nine starts. He'll look to keep things going Sunday in Toronto.

Nicasio allowed a hit in two-thirds of an inning to record his first save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

Seranthony Dominguez blew the lead in the eighth inning and Hector Neris worked a scoreless ninth with the game tied, leaving Adam Morgan and Nicasio to close things out after J.T. Realmuto launched a solo shot in the top of the 10th. The veteran right-hander hasn't given up an earned run since April 19, and the stretch of success has moved him into a more high-leverage role in Gabe Kapler's bullpen -- he notched his second hold of the season Sunday. Nicasio now sports a 3.32 ERA and 20:9 K:BB through 21.2 innings on the season.

Soroka (5-1) fired eight innings Monday, allowing a run on two hits while taking the win over the Giants. He yielded a homer and struck out seven.

Aside from Brandon Crawford's solo shot in the sixth inning, Soroka absolutely dominated the Giants' lineup. His eight-inning outing was a career high, but oddly enough, his season ERA actually went up after Monday. The 21-year-old rookie is sporting a 1.01 ERA and 41:14 K:BB across 44.2 frames. Soroka will take the mound in St. Louis on Saturday.

Darvish did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies, as he allowed three runs across six innings. He gave up four hits and three walks, while striking out seven.

Darvish completed six innings for just the second time this season, but former Chicago ace Jake Arrieta held the Cubs to just one run through his six innings, keeping Darvish from picking up his third win. The Japanese righty still has a subpar 5.06 ERA, though he's looked better in his last two outings. Darvish will look to build on the quality start his next time out Saturday against the Reds.

Corbin (4-2) took the loss Monday as the Nationals dropped a 5-3 decision to the Mets, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over five innings while striking out seven.

The southpaw has faced the Mets four times already this season, and this was the first time he failed to record a quality start against them. Corbin will take a 3.25 ERA and 76:21 K:BB through 63.2 innings into his next outing Saturday, at home against the Marlins.

Urias is expected to be reinstated from administrative leave Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Urias was arrested for domestic battery May 13, but after spending a week on administrative leave, he'll be eligible to return to the team for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. It's unclear if he'll face any discipline following the league's investigation into the issue.

Quantrill will start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Quantrill was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday to make a spot start, and even though he surrendered five runs over five innings of work, he'll be granted at least one more opportunity to toe the rubber with the big-league club.
