Glasnow (shoulder) tossed two scoreless in his rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He gave up no hits, walked three batters and struck out one.

Glasnow took the mound in a game for the first time since April 27 and understandably showed some rust, issuing three free passes and throwing just 22 of 48 pitches for strikes. Despite the control issues, the veteran righty got through two scoreless frames without allowing a hit. He topped out at 98.3 miles per hour with his fastball, so his velocity appears to be in a good place as he works toward a return to the big-league club. Glasnow will likely need at least a couple more rehab outings before he's ready to be activated from the 60-day injured list.

Gordon (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque, MLB.com reports.

Gordon will make a pair of rehab starts, with the first coming Tuesday and second Sunday. There's no official word if he'll be activated immediately after the latter outing, or if he'll have a spot in the big-league rotation upon his return.

Soroka didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Soroka kept the Dodgers scoreless through five innings and notched all 10 of his Ks before the sixth, but he was quickly bounced from the contest in the sixth frame. He allowed a ground-rule double, a walk and a hit-by-pitch, loading the bases for Jose Ferrer, who served up a grand slam to Max Muncy. Soroka has posted seven or more Ks in three of his last four starts, owning a 4.03 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Angels next weekend.

Luzardo (7-3) picked up the win Sunday against the Mets, allowing three hits and one walk over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Luzardo has endured a roller coaster during the past month, allowing three or fewer runs in three of his six outings, but allowing eight or more runs twice. He was excellent Sunday, notching his first scoreless start since April 4 and picking up his second win in his last three appearances. Luzardo owns a 4.08 ERA and a 104:29 K:BB in 90.1 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face Atlanta next weekend.

Peterson (5-3) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Peterson hadn't allowed a home run in his past six starts, but he yielded a pair of round trippers Sunday. Both homers came in the fourth frame on a solo shot from Kyle Schwarber and a three-run homer from Edmundo Sosa. Peterson's loss was his first since May 6. On the year, Peterson owns a 2.98 ERA to go along with a 78:31 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Oviedo (lat) has progressed to throwing sim games, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Oviedo is at the Pirates' spring training facility for the next step in his recovery. He'll still need to embark on a lengthy rehab assignment before returning, but he is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point after the All-Star break.

Rea (4-3) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Mariners.

Rea served up four home runs, including a pair by Dominic Canzone, in the loss. Rea did not allow a long ball through his first 18.2 innings this season but has since coughed up 13 of them in his last 10 appearances. The poor outing bumped his season ERA from 3.84 to 4.42 through 73.1 frames. Rea has produced a 6.89 ERA over his last six outings, allowing at least six runs in three of those. He's projected to start in Houston next weekend.

Mikolas (4-5) yielded three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking the loss against Cincinnati.

Mikolas served up a home run to Matt McLain in the first inning but kept the Reds in check until they plated a pair of runs in the fifth. It was Mikolas' third consecutive loss, and he hasn't earned a win since May 23. He tossed 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and dropped his season ERA to 4.31 through 77.1 innings. Mikolas has produced a 3.50 ERA over his last 13 outings after he was crushed for nine runs (eight earned) in Boston on April 6. He's projected to start in Cleveland next weekend.

Vasquez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

The San Diego righty collected his fifth quality start of the season, as he looked sharp in this 89-pitch outing. Vasquez completed a career-high seven frames, going toe to toe with Kansas City starter Seth Lugo. The only blemish on Vasquez's day was a two-run homer conceded to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old will carry a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:37 K:BB through 80 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at Cincinnati next weekend.

Abbott (7-1) yielded a run on three hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over St. Louis.

Abbott coughed up a run in the second inning before retiring the final 18 batters he faced in a dominant performance. He's given up one or zero earned runs in 12 of his 14 starts this season, but he was tagged with a combined nine runs in the other two. With Sunday's 100-pitch performance, he dropped his season ERA to 1.79 with a 72:20 K:BB across 75.1 frames. Abbott is 5-1 with a 1.59 ERA over his last seven outings. He's in line for a home matchup against San Diego next weekend.
