Singer won't start Tuesday against the Cardinals since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The contest will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, with Singer likely to start one of those contests for Cincinnati. The right-hander has a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 27.1 innings through six starts this year.

Painter will make his next start Thursday with Single-A Clearwater, not with Triple-A Lehigh Valley as initially reported, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Painter's first three starts this season were at Clearwater, and he will remain in Florida with the affiliate fo rnow. He went three innings in each of his last two outings and is expected to stretch out to four frames Thursday. Coming back from July 2023 Tommy John surgery, Painter is aiming to be part of the Phillies rotation later this season.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Suarez (back) could return from the 15-day injured list to make a start this weekend versus the Diamondbacks, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Suarez has looked sharp on his minor-league rehab assignment, yielding just two runs with a 24:5 K:BB over 16.2 innings covering four starts. He will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and could pitch for the Phillies as soon as Friday, but an exact date for his season debut is still undecided.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Painter's next start will come at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Painter has made three starts with Single-A Clearwater, allowing a total of two runs with a 10:1 K:BB over 7.1 innings. The prized right-hander will face stiffer competition Thursday as he continues to get built back up after a long absence following Tommy John surgery. The Phillies expect Painter to be an option for the major-league rotation later this summer.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Sanchez (forearm) will start Wednesday against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Sanchez was removed from his last start one week ago due to left forearm soreness. However, he has thrown since then without issue and will not miss a turn in the rotation, simply being pushed back one day.

The Mets transferred Manaea (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Manaea has yet to make his 2025 debut after straining his oblique during the spring. He resumed playing catch earlier this month but appears to still be eyeing a return to the Mets in June.

Atlanta recalled Smith-Shawver from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

The right-hander will rejoin Atlanta for his fourth MLB start of the season in the wake of Spencer Strider (hamstring) returning to the injured list. Smith-Shawver has a 4.61 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 13.2 innings this season and has posted similar numbers for Gwinnett with a 4.82 ERA in two outings.

Misiorowski posted a 0.00 ERA, 0.45 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB in 11.0 innings over his last two starts with Triple-A Nashville.

Walks have long been a concern in regards to Misiorowski's prospect status, and after issuing 10 free passes over his first three starts of the season, he generated only a trio of base on balls over his last three trips to the mound. If he has indeed turned a corner in the control department, it may not be long before he is plying his trade in Milwaukee.

Cabrera didn't factor in the decision against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over four innings.

Cabrera allowed a constant stream of baserunners, and the nine hits against him marked a season-worst tally. The right-hander failed to miss many bats, notching just three whiffs and two punchouts after recording at least five strikeouts in each of his first three starts this season. Cabrera hasn't been able to pull things together so far this season, as he now carries an ugly 7.23 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 18.2 innings across four starts.

May allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters in 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

May appeared to be en route to a win after completing five scoreless innings, but things took a turn for the worse for him in the sixth. In that frame, the right-hander allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, and they all came around to score before the inning was over (though two of the runs charged to May crossed the plate following his departure). This was still a better performance for May after he gave up a career-worst seven runs over five innings against the Cubs in his previous trip to the mound, but over his past two contests, May's ERA has jumped from a sparkling 1.06 to a less-impressive 3.95.
