X-rays on Lodolo's left wrist came back negative after Tuesday's loss to the Brewers, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Lodolo took a 107-mph line drive off his wrist in the fourth inning of Tuesday's contest and was pulled after finishing the frame. However, he seems to have escaped the incident without suffering any structural damage, and he could be good to go for his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come in Milwaukee on Monday -- if swelling doesn't become too much of an issue.

McClanahan (6-5) took the loss against the Royals on Tuesday, allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

It was an odd game for McClanahan, who logged just his second quality start of the campaign while also allowing multiple homers in a game for the first time. It continued a rough June for the 29-year-old, who's now 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA through four starts this month. He owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 73:28 K:BB across 73.2 innings on the year and lines up for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with a left hamstring/adductor strain, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Cabrera was hurt while extending to catch a throw to first base at the end of the fifth inning and appeared to be grabbing at his left thigh. He wasn't able to make it off the field by himself and had to leave the game in a cart. The Cubs will presumably send the right-hander in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and an update on his status could come after the game.

Lodolo suffered a left wrist contusion and exited Tuesday's contest against the Brewers in the fifth inning, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Lodolo was struck in the left wrist by a 107 mph line drive off the back of Jackson Chourio to open the top of the fourth inning. He was able to finish the frame, but he was ultimately forced to exit the contest before the fifth inning. Lodolo tossed four scoreless frames, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out six batters before his early departure. An update on the southpaw's status moving forward will likely be provided following the conclusion of Tuesday's contest.

Flaherty (ankle) tossed 5.2 innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Erie, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.

Flaherty thew 83 pitches (58 strikes) in the rehab outing, which may be the only appearance he makes in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list. The right-hander is eligible to come off the IL on Sunday, and he could be activated that day to start the Tigers' series finale versus the Astros in Detroit.

Canning is expected to work as the bulk reliever behind opener Wandy Peralta against Atlanta on Tuesday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The right-hander followed an opener in his previous appearance last week and delivered one of his better outings of the season, allowing one run across 4.1 frames to pick up his first victory. Despite that improved form, Canning's 6.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 41:25 K:BB across 42 innings for the season make him a volatile streaming option while going up against a strong offense.

The Padres recalled Sears from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Assuming he isn't need in relief for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Sears could draw the start for Wednesday's series finale. Lucas Giolito had been lined up to start or work in bulk relief Wednesday, but he was instead placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old Sears has languished over 14 starts with El Paso this season, pitching to a 7.92 ERA and 1.84 WHIP across 63.2 innings.

The Padres placed Giolito on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation.

San Diego recalled JP Sears from Triple-A El Paso, and he could be called upon to fill Giolito's spot in the rotation, which comes up Wednesday versus Atlanta. Since being summoned from the minors to enter the San Diego rotation in mid-May, Giolito hasn't found much success over his seven outings with the big club. Between five starts and two bulk-relief appearances, Giolito has submitted a 5.16 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 18:23 K:BB in 29.2 innings.

Dollander underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow Monday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Although Dollander managed to avoid undergoing a full Tommy John procedure, the operation will still put an early end to his second MLB season. He showed significant improvement in 2026, turning in a 3.89 ERA and 1.30 WHIP alongside a 47:18 K:BB in 44 innings across 10 appearances (three starts). A clearer timeline for his return could emerge as the 2027 campaign approaches.

Ryan (illness) has been cleared to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ryan was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday due to an illness, but he will wind up being pushed back just one day. Connor Prielipp had been scheduled to start Wednesday but will now likely take the ball Friday against the Rockies.
