Festa didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Festa joined the Minnesota rotation in early June after Pablo Lopez (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Festa has failed to complete four innings in two of three starts since and has allowed 12 earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB spanning 13.1 innings. In six starts this season, he has a 4.78 ERA in 26.1 innings. He's scheduled to make another turn in the rotation Sunday against Milwaukee.

Warren (4-4) yielded three runs on six hits over six innings Tuesday, striking out 11 and taking a loss against the Angels. He did not issue a walk.

Warren turned in an impressive quality start but was tagged with the loss as the Yankees were shut out for a third straight game. He gave up a run in the second inning and two more in the third on a Taylor Ward single. Warren set a new career best with 11 punchouts and has racked up double-digit strikeouts twice in his last six outings. He tossed 70 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs, including eight with his fastball. Warren owns a 4.83 ERA with an impressive 90:29 K:BB through 69 innings this season. He's currently in line to face the Orioles this weekend.

Hendricks (5-6) allowed four hits and a walk over six shutout innings Tuesday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Yankees.

Hendricks was dominant Tuesday and turned in his longest scoreless performance of the year. Only two Yankees reached scoring position against him, including Cody Bellinger on a first-inning double. Hendricks tossed 70 of 98 pitches for strikes and generated a season-high 13 whiffs. Prior to Tuesday, his season best in strikeouts was only six. The veteran righty now owns a 4.79 ERA with a 53:22 K:BB across 77 frames. Hendricks is lined up to face the Astros at home this weekend.

The Marlins will recall Mazur from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Mazur made eight starts with the Padres last season, turning in a 7.49 ERA across 33.2 innings before being dealt to Miami in the trade that sent Tanner Scott to San Diego. Mazur has shown improvement at Triple-A Jacksonville this year to the tune of a 3.62 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 59.2 frames, and he'll now get another opportunity to prove himself in the big leagues. Whether he sticks around in the Marlins' rotation will likely depend on his performance Wednesday and the health of Max Meyer (hip).

Glasnow (shoulder) threw two innings and about 40 pitches in a live batting practice session Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Glasnow has been battling right shoulder inflammation since late April, and he's slowly been making progress in the last couple weeks. The right-hander looked "really good" in the BP session according to manager Dave Roberts, and a minor-league rehab assignment could come in the near future.

Gil (lat) said he's scheduled to throw against batters Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

It will be Gil's first time facing hitters since he suffered the right lat strain during spring training. The right-hander isn't expected to rejoin the Yankees until after the All-Star break, but a rehab assignment may not be too far off if he can continue ramping up his throwing progression with no setbacks.

Scherzer (thumb) is aiming to throw 70-to-75 pitches in his rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, which could be the final outing in the minors before being reinstated from the injured list, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 40-year-old allowed two runs and threw 56 pitches over 4.1 innings during his first rehab start Friday, and if he's able to build on that workload Wednesday, his next stop could be back in the big leagues. Scherzer made just one start for Toronto in late March before the thumb inflammation sent him to the injured list, though it was an injury he battled throughout spring training.

Rogers has been added to the Orioles' taxi squad and is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday against the Rays, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Rogers is taking the rotation spot of the injured Cade Povich (hip) and is likely to make at least a couple more starts after Wednesday while Povich recovers. The 27-year-old Rogers has been underwhelming this season at Norfolk, posting a 5.46 ERA and 26:8 K:BB over 29.2 innings. However, he dazzled in a spot start for the Orioles back on May 24, striking out five over 6.1 shutout frames versus the Red Sox.

The Mets placed Megill on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow sprain.

A sprained elbow indicates Megill is dealing with damage to his UCL, but the pitcher said Tuesday that he just has inflammation and no structural damage, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Megill will be shut down for at least 7-to-10 days before ramping back up. The Mets are due to get Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique) back soon, but they will need someone else to fill in for Megill later this week in Philadelphia.

The Cardinals activated Hence (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and transferred him from Triple-A Memphis to Double-A Springfield.

Hence got a late start to the season due to a right rib cage strain, but he's made five rehab starts, allowing two runs with a 10:7 K:BB over 10.2 innings. The top prospect will now join the rotation at Springfield, where he held a 2.71 ERA and 109:26 K:BB over 79.2 frames in 2024.
