Glasnow did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing one unearned run on two hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

It was a strong return to the mound for Glasnow, who'd been sidelined since late April with a shoulder injury. The right-hander didn't appear to be limited Wednesday, as he made it through five innings and threw 85 pitches, with the Brewers' lone run coming on a Will Smith throwing error in the fifth. Overall, Glasnow sports a 3.52 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through his first 23 innings this season.

Quintana allowed one run on two hits and four walks over six innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

It was a strong outing overall for Quintana, with the Dodgers' lone run coming on a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Shohei Ohtani in the fifth inning. It's just the second time in Quintana's last 10 starts that he's made it through six innings. The left-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 3.28 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 48:31 K:BB across 13 outings (71.1 innings).

Peterson and the Mets won't face the Orioles on Wednesday, as the game was postponed due to rain.

The two clubs will play a doubleheader Thursday to make up for Wednesday's contest, and Peterson will take the mound to start the early game, per Laura Albanese of Newsday.

Williams said Wednesday that he expects to undergo an internal brace surgery on his right elbow July 17 and will miss the remainder of the season, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Williams' announcement comes after he was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right elbow sprain before being transferred to the 60-day IL just four days later. The right-hander relayed that he has a partial tear in his UCL, and while Tommy John surgery hasn't been completely ruled out, the belief is that he'll be able to get by with an internal brace procedure, which would shorten his recovery timeline. An internal brace procedure would still entail a rehab period of approximately nine months even in a best-case scenario, so Williams is unlikely to be ready to make his 2026 debut until at least next April or May. The 33-year-old will finish 2025 with a 3-10 record and a 6.21 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB in 82.2 innings across 17 starts.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that Greene (groin) is headed to the team's spring training facility in Arizona to continue his rehab, adding that "there's no roadmap" for the next step in the pitcher's progression, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Greene recently suffered a setback with his right groin strain, and while an MRI didn't reveal any new injury, he is still feeling symptoms. The Reds want Greene to feel totally healthy and confident his groin issue is behind him, so the club will proceed cautiously with the pitcher's rehab. Greene has been shelved twice this season with the groin problem and has not pitched since early June.

The Marlins designated Nastrini for assignment Wednesday.

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Tyler Zuber, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Mets. Nastrini himself was a waiver claim by the Marlins just last week, and he will go back on waivers after making just one appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Dodgers reinstated Glasnow (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Los Angeles optioned reliever Alexis Diaz to Triple-A Oklahoma City to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Glasnow, who will make his first start for the Dodgers since April 27 after he was sidelined for more than two months while recovering from right shoulder inflammation. Over his three rehab starts at Triple-A, Glasnow turned in an 8.31 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 8.2 innings, but he at least appears to be close to fully stretched out after tossing 78 pitches in his final outing with Oklahoma City last Thursday. With the All-Star break on the horizon, however, the Dodgers may not be keen on pushing Glasnow past the 90-pitch mark Wednesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sheehan is scheduled to pitch in bulk relief behind Shohei Ohtani in Saturday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Sheehan was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday and made his second start of the campaign later that day in the Dodgers' 5-1 loss to the Astros. After opening the season on the injured list while recovering from his May 2024 Tommy John surgery, the young right-hander has looked sharp in both of his outings for the Dodgers, posting a 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB in nine innings. Though he could eventually be squeezed out of the rotation once Ohtani is fully stretched out and Blake Snell (shoulder) returns from the injured list, Sheehan looks worthy of rostering in most fantasy leagues while he's up with the Dodgers. Ohtani has yet to surpass two innings in any of his four starts as a pitcher, and since he likely won't be asked to cover more than three or four frames Saturday, Sheehan will be in good position to pick up a win if he's able to exit his bulk-relief appearance with the Dodgers holding a lead.

Snell (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Snell resumed facing hitters last week and is set to pitch in a game Thursday for the first time since he went down with left shoulder inflammation in early April. The southpaw is expected to throw two innings for Rancho Cucamonga and will continue to build up from there while moving on to higher-level affiliates as he eyes a return to the Los Angeles rotation. His return could happen before the end of July if all goes well.

The Nationals announced Tuesday that Sykora was diagnosed with lower right triceps soreness and will be shut down for 2-to-3 weeks before throwing again, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Any arm issue is worrying for the 21-year-old pitching prospect, but the Nationals don't view Sykora's injury as a major concern. The triceps issue will keep Sykora from pitching in the All-Star Futures Game this weekend, however, and he appears unlikely to return to action for Double-A Harrisburg until at least early August. Across four different levels this season, Sykora has compiled a 1.91 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 74:17 K:BB through just 42.1 innings.
