Urena was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday.

As expected, Urena joined the big club and will be starting Tuesday's contest against the Reds. Urena has had subpar results as a starter for the Marlins this season, as he's posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over three contests (16 innings).

Lorenzen has been placed on bereavement leave by the Reds.

Lorenzen will miss the next 3-to-7 days, and Tim Adleman will temporarily replace him on the active roster.

Teheran (back) tossed five innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Teheran was sharp Sunday, giving up just one earned run on three hits while posting a 5:0 K:BB and throwing 51 of his 73 pitches for strikes. The Braves have not confirmed that his next start will come with the big club, but there is a good chance that will be the case.

Ray (6-11) allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings in a win over the Mets.

Ray was clutch on Monday, as he induced two double plays and recorded three strikeouts with runners in scoring position. He was shaky, but thanks to his ability to come up with big pitches at important times, he has now allowed just one earned run over his past 12 innings. Ray still has just a 4.47 ERA, but his 161 strikeouts in 133 innings makes him an intriguing pitcher to watch.

Finnegan (7-9) gave up four runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings, striking out three in Monday's loss to the Marlins.

Finnegan turned in his second straight subpar performance following a pair of scoreless outings. The lefty's lack of strikeouts (6.55 K/9) limits his upside, and games like this one have been far too common for him. He'll look to bounce back at home against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Glasnow (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session in Altoona on Tuesday after passing an examination Monday, Root Sports Pittsburgh reports.

Despite leaving Sunday's rehab start early, it appears Glasnow and the Pirates have dodged a bullet. GM Neal Huntington said Sunday that the righty would need more than one start in the minors before potentially returning to the Bucs' rotation, making it unlikely he comes back prior to late August or early September.

Hill (hand) will travel to the Dodgers' training complex in Arizona this week to continue his recovery process, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It's the latest development in what has been a tumultuous rehabilitation for Hill, who has yet to see game action since being acquired by Los Angeles at the trade deadline. The team hopes that the dry air will aid in the healing process. After pitching a bullpen session Sunday, it's likely that Hill's Dodgers debut won't come until Aug. 22 at the earliest.

Lynn tossed 1.2 scoreless innings, striking out two while allowing just one hit on 27 pitches in his first rehab appearance Monday at High-A Palm Beach.

Considering Lynn is not yet a year removed from Tommy John surgery, it seems overly optimistic for him to return this year, but the Cardinals may be hoping he can get back for September or the playoffs. His first time on the mound went about as well as can be expected, but what's more important will be how he feels Tuesday morning. We'll keep monitoring his rehabilitation efforts for more news about his return schedule.

Lynn (elbow) will make a rehab start with the Cardinals' High-A Palm Beach affiliate Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Lynn, who underwent Tommy John surgery last November, appears to be at the early end of the rehab schedule. A start with High-A marks his first return to the mound since last season and a big step towards a potential return in September. More on a timetable should be established as he progresses further in the schedule.

Matz (9-8) tossed 7.1 no-hit innings Sunday, walking two and striking out eight, before an Alexei Ramirez single broke up his bid and ended his day in a 5-1 win over the Padres.

He was at 105 pitches by that point, so manager Terry Collins was taking no chances with the lefty's workload. Matz has now delivered quality starts in six of eight outings since the beginning of July, but has just a 2-5 record over that stretch thanks to the struggles of the Mets' offense, with both wins coming in starts when he held the opposition off the scoreboard entirely. He'll likely need to be stingy once again in his next start, Friday on the road against Johnny Cueto and the Giants.
