Lyles was recalled Monday.

Lyles last pitched for the Rockies on May 23 when he gave up four earned runs in 2.1 innings of work, bringing his ERA to 8.55 and WHIP to 2.05 on the season and leading him to be optioned to Triple-A. Lyles will likely serve as a long reliever, a role that is needed due to Tyler Chatwood and Chris Rusin both being lost to the 15-day DL.

Glasnow (back) tossed six hitless innings in his last start with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Glasnow felt some soreness in his back during his previous outing, but he showed no signs of wear Friday, throwing 97 pitches -- one short of his season high. Glasnow did walk six batters Friday and has had some issues this walks this season, issuing 42 free passes over 77 innings, but that has not prevented him from posting a 1.75 ERA -- while adding 92 punchouts -- in his first full season at the Triple-A level.

Eflin (0-2) gave up two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out three, in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

While it's a much better line than he managed in his major league debut against the Blue Jays earlier in the week, the end result was still the same. Eflin threw 55 of 88 pitches for strikes but only managed seven swinging strikes as he continues to have trouble fooling big league hitters. He'll next take the mound Friday in San Francisco.

Anderson (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Marlins, striking out four.

Tom Koehler and three relievers were combining on a two-hitter for Miami, so Anderson had no chance to get his first big league win despite the fairly solid outing. He threw 61 of 102 pitches for strikes, but rang up some deep counts and only managed seven swinging strikes. He'll next take the mound back home in Coors Field on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Hendricks allowed just one run across six strong innings in Sunday's win over the Pirates, striking out a career-high 12 and walking not a single batter.

Hendricks was excellent Sunday, as he threw 20 of 26 first-pitch strikes, pounded the zone at a 67% clip and likely was only pulled after six frames due to his elevated pitch count. Hendricks is now 5-6 on the season, but his strong 2.94 ERA and sharp 1.02 WHIP indicate that more wins are on the horizon. Further, his K/9 rate is up to 8.2 for the season, but he has made strides as a strikeout pitcher this year and could have even more to offer in that regard. He will look to keep it rolling Friday at the Marlins.

Taillon was hit hard in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk in just four innings. He struck out five.

The rookie was excellent through his first two starts, but he came crashing down to earth Sunday, allowing three home runs through the third inning and running his pitch count up to 85 before being pulled after the fourth. Taillon's ERA rose to a still respectable 3.50 after the rough outing, and he will look to get back on track in a more favorable matchup versus the Dodgers at home on Friday.

Maeda allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out eight, but received no decision Sunday against the Brewers.

After allowing a first-inning homer to Scooter Gennett, Maeda silenced the Brewers' bats, but it took a pair of late runs by the Dodgers to take him off the hook for a potential loss. He's now held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in five straight starts to lower his ERA to 2.64. He'll make his next start Saturday at the Pirates.

Finnegan lasted only five innings Sunday against the Astros, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks, striking out just one batter while getting the loss.

Finnegan was pulled after throwing only 77 pitches, but his workload so far this season and the stressful pitches thrown Sunday were were cited as reasons for the early hook. Keep in mind that because he was used as a reliever by the Royals early in his pro career, Finnegan's workload will be monitored frequently throughout the course of this season.

DeGrom (3-4) gave up three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out six, in a 6-0 loss to the Braves.

Julio Teheran was busy spinning a one-hit shutout opposite him, so deGrom had no chance at coming away a winner despite his quality start. He's actually turned in five straight QS and nine in 12 starts on the season, but a lack of run support has seen him lose four straight decisions after a 3-0 start. He'll look for a little more help from his teammates in a rematch with Teheran and the Braves in Atlanta on Saturday.

Teheran (3-7) was dominant in a shutout win over the Mets on Sunday, allowing just a leadoff single to Michael Conforto in the third inning while striking out seven to come within one batter of a perfect game.

He controlled the strike zone all day long, throwing 15 first-pitch strikes and 82 of his 120 pitches overall for strikes. Teheran has completely turned his season around after a rough April, throwing quality starts in seven of 10 outings in May and June and bringing his ERA down to 2.66 after Sunday's shutout. He'll get a rematch with the Mets in his next start at home Saturday.
