Wheeler allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.

Wheeler began the game with three clean innings but allowed four consecutive Diamondbacks to reach base in the fourth inning, accounting for the two runs he allowed. The only extra-base hit he yielded was a double, marking the fourth time in his past six starts that he didn't surrender a home run. While still inconsistent -- he allowed six earned runs in his previous outing -- Wheeler is a good source of strikeouts and has performed much better of late, as he has seen his ERA drop from 5.92 to 4.82 in six starts since May 16.

Gray allowed six runs (five earned) in five-plus innings Sunday, striking out nine while yielding six hits and a walk. He didn't factor into the decision during Colorado's 13-12 loss to Texas.

Gray was solid through five innings on the afternoon, allowing just one run and striking out nine. Things unraveled in the sixth, though, as Gray gave up five runs without recording an out, including a three-run blast by Jurickson Profar that would be the nail in the coffin on his start. The 26-year-old's already ugly ERA rose to 5.89, and he's allowed three or more earned runs in his past seven starts. He'll look to turn things around against Miami on Friday.

Thompson needed just one pitch to record one out and record the save in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Brewers.

It was Thompson's second save of the season and his first since early April. Hector Neris was rocked for four runs in the ninth before Thompson was able to save the day. Thompson owns an ugly 7.00 ERA with nine strikeouts in nine innings this season. Even with Neris struggling, Thompson likely won't gain a relevant spot in the Phillies' committee, especially with the way Seranthony Dominguez is throwing.

Nola threw 4.1 innings Sunday, allowing four runs on four walks and seven hits, but he didn't factor into the decision as the Phillies won 10-9. He struck out four and allowed one home run.

It wasn't the sharpest outing, but at least Nola avoided a loss with his team's strong offensive performance. Even with the rough day, the 25-year-old has a strong 2.55 ERA and a 94:26 K:BB in 95.1 innings. He'll have a tough matchup next weekend in Washington.

Anderson (5-6) allowed six earned runs in 5.1 innings Sunday, yielding five hits and two walks while taking the loss against the Phillies. He also gave up two home runs and struck out five.

Rhys Hoskins and Maikel Franco tagged Anderson with a two-run homer in the first and fourth innings, respectively. Anderson's season ERA has swelled up to 4.54 in 77.1 innings with an unsightly 54:30 K:BB. The 30-year-old righty will look to get back in the win column Friday against St. Louis.

Darvish (triceps) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

If all goes well, Darvish is slated to take another step forward in his recovery process, although he'll likely be on the shelf for at least a few more weeks. He tossed a bullpen session June 12 and felt good afterwards, but his next test will be facing live hitting.

Teheran started to cramp up in his right hamstring during the sixth inning of Sunday's outing against the Padres, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Teheran, who was working on a no-hitter, was able to finish the inning, but he didn't have much flexibility in his hamstring upon reaching the dugout, and he was lifted from the game following the sixth frame, per Bowman. He'll be listed as day-to-day moving forward, with the extent of the injury currently unknown. Teheran surrendered no runs on three walks while striking out 11 across six no-hit innings prior to leaving the tilt, as he picked up the win and improved his record to 5-4 on the year. His next start would likely come Sunday against the Orioles if he's healthy.

Peralta will be recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to start Tuesday against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

This move had been speculated earlier in the week, but the Brewers went ahead and made it official Sunday. Peralta dazzled in his season debut against the Rockies back on May 13, when he struck out 13 batters en route to the victory. That earned the 22-year-old a second turn in the rotation, but he struggled with command, walking six batters across four innings against the Twins. Since then, Peralta is 1-0 across five starts at Triple-A, allowing just four earned runs and posting a 38:10 K:BB ratio over that span. It's again unlikely he'll be a long-term member of the rotation, but he can always pitch himself into a situation where he'd be the primary spot start option in Milwaukee, as several other starters continue to work their way back from injuries. The official roster move is unlikely to occur until later in the week, so check back Tuesday morning for confirmation.

Miley (oblique) threw live batting practice at Miller Park on Sunday, and is expected to see at least four rehab starts before his activation, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Operating under the assumption that everything went well for Miley on Sunday, the team is expected to send the left-hander to Double-A Biloxi to begin a rehab assignment later in the week. He's not eligible to return from the 60-day DL until July 9 anyway, so the Brewers can afford for Miley to play it safe with his rehab. It's unclear exactly how Miley will fit in upon his return, as the Milwaukee starting staff has exceeded expectations while contributing to a 3.41 team ERA, good for the fourth-best mark in all of baseball.

Houser was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday.

Houser will take the spot of fellow right-handed bullpen arm Jorge Lopez, who was sent packing to Colorado Springs in a corresponding move. Houser has made two starts in the minors since his last big-league appearance, allowing just two earned runs across 9.2 innings -- both via solo home runs. He'll be a candidate for long relief given that he last pitched June 11, but seems unlikely to pitch in a high-leverage situation.
