Reds starter Johnny Cueto earned his second win of the season, beating Milwaukee on Tuesday. 

Cueto pitched eight innings, allowing two runs on three hits, to move to 2-2 on the season. He didn't walk a batter and struck out six. He allowed two home runs and threw 85 pitches, 56 strikes.

Cueto lowered his ERA to 1.95. His next start will be Sunday, at Atlanta. 

Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session prior to Tuesday's game against San Francisco, according to SB Nation blog True Blue LA. Ryu, who hasn't pitched since March 17 and has been sidelined all season due to a shoulder impingement, will throw another session in the next few days.

Diamondbacks pitcher Patrick Corbin threw all of his pitches in a 30-pitch simulated game over two innings at Chase Field prior to Tuesday's game against Colorado, per FOX Sports Arizona.

"He looked great. His fastball looked good. He was throwing all his pitches," manager Chip Hale said, per the Arizona Daily Star.

Corbin, who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery last season, is expected to make another simulated game appearance Sunday at Salt River Fields, which is the team's spring training facility.

Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright has a season-ending Achilles injury. Just don't tell him that. 

Wainwright still hopes to return to the mound this season. 

"The doctors keep saying 'almost.' There's almost no chance I could do it this year," Wainwright said, per the Post Dispatch. "With Tommy John surgery (in 2011) I used that as a challenge to get ready because I knew there was a certain amount you could push it within the boundaries of not going too far."

"I’ll show up next year ready to play," he told MLB.com. "And I’ll show up every day this year ready to help this team in some fashion."

Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton will pitch in a minor league injury rehab game on Saturday, manager Clint Hurdle said, per MLB.com.

Diamondbacks pitcher Chase Anderson allowed five earned runs in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies. 

"(He was) up in the zone," manager Chip Hale said after the game, per the Arizona Republic. "It seems like a broken record. When we struggle we're up in the zone. You're going to have to have No. 1 stuff to get those guys out. They're too good."

Anderson gave up eight hits and walked two batters. He struck out four and now has an ERA of 4.24.

"I think his stuff is better than what people give him credit for," Hale said. "You can't pitch up here without good stuff. He throws all his pitches for strikes, he throws off-speed pitches behind in the count and he competes. That's part of his makeup. That does help him."

His next start is projected for Sunday against the Dodgers. 

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels recorded his first win of the 2015 season Monday night in a 4-1 victory over the Cardinals. 

Hamels is now 1-2 after allowing just one earned run in seven innings worth of work. Hamels allowed four hits and four walks. He struck out a season-high nine batters during his time in the game. 

Hamels now holds a 3.19 ERA for the season. 

His next start is projected for Saturday against the Marlins. 

Pirates pitcher Vance Worley allowed four runs on nine hits in six innings of work in Pittsburgh's 4-0 loss to the Cubs Monday.

Worley's issues came in the third inning with two outs. After walking Dexter Fowler, Worley allowed a single to Jorge Soler to put two on for Anthony Rizzo, who double to center field, bringing home a run. Kris Bryant then ripped an RBI single to center to score two more runs.

Then in the fifth, Bryant came through again with a single to center to bring home another run.

"After the two-out walk, Vance wasn't able to execute pitches he’s been able to execute throughout the young season so far," manager Clint Hurdle said per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "All in all, It's not a bad outing by any means."

Worley, now 2-2, ballooned his ERA to 4.50. He will look to get back on track Sunday against the Cardinals.
