High-A Asheville placed Brito on its 7-day injured list June 25 due to an unspecified injury.

Before spending the past month on the shelf, Brito had emerged as one of the more exciting arms in the lower levels of the Houston system. The hard-throwing righty had accrued a 3.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 65:28 K:BB in 49.1 innings over his 12 starts with Asheville.

Bieber (elbow) is expected to throw around 55 pitches Sunday in his next scheduled rehab start, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The Guardians have yet to determine which affiliate Bieber will join for what will be the third start of his current rehab assignment, but High-A Lake County and Triple-A Columbus are his most likely destinations since both will be hosting games. In his latest outing for Lake County on Tuesday, Bieber spotted 30 of his 43 pitches for strikes while punching out four and allowing one earned run in three innings. After Sunday's start, Bieber will likely make at least two more appearances in the minors before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list in early or mid-August.

Rosario (elbow) has not had surgery yet, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Grant adds that the Rangers and Rosario are working through some unrelated issues, so this situation is incredibly murky. The team announced in February that Rosario would need Tommy John surgery, but for whatever reason, he still hasn't had the procedure or advanced down a non-surgical path of recovery. At this point, we can probably rule out Rosario pitching in minor-league games in 2026, unless he attempts to come back without having the surgery.

Sears allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Wednesday.

Sears served up a solo homer to Corey Seager in the third inning, but that was the only run the Rangers managed against him. The southpaw notched a solid 13 whiffs and seven punchouts, though he was pulled after five innings despite having thrown a modest 82 pitches. This was a nice turnaround for Sears after he surrendered six earned runs across four frames in his previous start. He's lined up for a home matchup against the Mariners early next week.

Corbin allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Wednesday.

Corbin was pulled having thrown just 69 pitches, exiting with two outs in the sixth frame after having giving up his lone run in that inning. He may have been running out of steam -- the A's strung together three straight two-out knocks after having recorded just two hits across the first five frames -- but it was nonetheless another strong outing by the veteran southpaw, who has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his past five starts. Corbin has a strong 2.54 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 28.1 innings during that stretch, suggesting that his improbable bounce-back campaign at the age of 36 may be sustainable. He's at a 3.78 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 19 starts on the season after finishing with an ERA of no better than 5.20 in each of his previous four campaigns.

Cannon allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

It was truly a mixed bag for Cannon in the outing -- he had pretty good control in throwing 58 of 90 pitches for strikes and missed plenty of bats, notching an impressive 18 whiffs and a season-high nine punchouts. However, the right-hander also tied a season-worst mark in allowing six runs, though one was unearned. Cannon also served up two homers after giving up just one long ball over his previous four outings combined. He had posted a 2.66 ERA across 20.1 frames during that four-game stretch, so Wednesday's performance was a step back despite the healthy punchout total. Cannon's next start is projected to be a home matchup against Philadelphia.

Fried (11-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing six runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings.

There's no indication that the blister that caused Fried to exit after three frames in his previous outing was still bothering him Wednesday, but the veteran hurler nonetheless had one of his worst performances of the season. The six runs allowed by the left-hander tied a season-worst mark, though only four of those were earned as the Yankees defense had a poor day. Fried also failed to miss many bats, notching just six whiffs and three punchouts. He's now lost consecutive starts for the first time this season and will aim to bounce back the next time he takes the mound, which is tentatively scheduled to be early next week against Tampa Bay.

Bassitt (11-4) earned the win over the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over 7.1 innings.

Bassitt gave up three homers in the outing, but New York didn't manage any other hits against him. It was the first time the veteran righty has given up multiple homers since May 30, though the long balls didn't prevent Bassitt from notching his 11th win of the campaign, which is tied for second most among MLB hurlers. Bassitt has recorded a quality start in each of his past three starts, and he's allowed just four earned runs over 19.2 innings during that span.

Luzardo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs on two hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Luzardo's up-and-down season continued, as he surrendered at least five runs for the fourth time in his last 10 starts. He melted down during a calamitous fifth inning, when Boston drove in six runs on two hits and four walks in the frame. While the hard-throwing left-hander has fanned at least seven on six occasions across his last 10 outings, he's witnessed his ERA balloon from 2.15 on May 25 to 4.58 for the year following Wednesday's clunker. Luzardo has a 8.04 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 59:24 K:BB over his last 47 innings, and things may not get much easier his next time out against a White Sox team with a .827 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of July.

Giolito didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out two.

That's now consecutive starts with at least four runs allowed by Giolito, who had been riding a six-game quality start streak before this recent downturn. The four innings and two punchouts were both the veteran right-hander's fewest since his June 4 outing versus the Angels. Giolito still holds a quality 3.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 72:24 K:BB over 81.2 frames, and he'll try to right the ship in Minnesota against the Twins the next time he takes the mound.
