Adrian Bohorquez SP | MIN
Twins' Adrian Bohorquez: Returns from 7-day IL
High-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Bohorquez (forearm) from its 7-day injured list Monday.
The 21-year-old righty posted an 11.25 ERA and 2.50 WHIP in eight innings across three starts for Cedar Rapids to begin the season before landing on the shelf April 20 due to a right forearm strain. Bohorquez was activated after making a pair of one-inning rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, so he could be limited from a workload perspective as he slots back into the Cedar Rapids rotation.

Patrick Reilly SP | BAL
Orioles' Patrick Reilly: Ready for rehab assignment
Reilly (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Orioles' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Reilly is ready to pitch in games following a long rehab from last year's right elbow UCL reconstruction. The right-hander was pitching at Double-A Chesapeake last year before getting hurt, and he will likely return there once his rehab assignment is over.

Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Set for second bullpen session
Ober (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday of approximately 40 pitches, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Ober got back on a mound Saturday for the first time since landing on the injured list May 31, completing a 25-pitch bullpen session that apparently went off without a hitch. The right-hander is working his way back from a mild flexor strain and will still need to face hitters in live batting practice before the Twins send him out on a rehab assignment. Ober remains without a definitive timeline for a return, but he could have a chance at rejoining the Minnesota rotation during the final week before the All-Star break if he steers clear of any setbacks or delays in his throwing progression.

Zack Littell SP | WAS
Nationals' Zack Littell: Slated for bulk duty Tuesday
Littell will be used in bulk relief Tuesday against the Phillies, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
He's fared better this season as a bulk reliever (3.20 ERA) than traditional starter (6.31 ERA). The right-handed Littell will be preceded Tuesday by left-handed opener PJ Poulin.

Jake Bennett SP | BOS
Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Delivers six scoreless frames
Bennett did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four hits and no walks over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out nine.
Tasked with pitching at the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field, Bennett took the challenge in stride, allowing no runs while recording a season-high nine strikeouts in what can easily be considered the best outing of his young career. A blown save by Aroldis Chapman, however, denied Bennett the win. Through five big-league starts, the 25-year-old owns a 1-3 record with a 3.71 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across 26.2 innings. His next start is projected for Saturday against the Yankees.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Allows two runs in no-decision
Feltner did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out two.
Feltner was a bit wild, surrendering a season-high four walks, but he limited the damage to just two runs in the sixth inning. The elevated walk totals and lack of strikeout stuff remain concerns for the right-hander, but there's no denying he has yielded improved results since returning from right ulnar nerve inflammation at the end of May, compiling a 3.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 27 innings over his past five starts. Feltner will carry a 2-2 record with a 4.79 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB across 47 innings (10 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Twins.

Merrill Kelly SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Suffers seventh loss
Kelly (5-7) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings against St. Louis. He struck out two.
Kelly ran into some trouble in the third and fourth innings but was able to mitigate the damage fairly well and record a quality start, though a lack of offense from Arizona saddled the 37-year-old with the loss. The right-hander has had spurts of success but has mostly struggled in 2026, posting a 5.71 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 44:31 K:BB across 75.2 innings (13 starts). Having lost each of his four most recent starts, Kelly will look to reverse that trend in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday at Tampa Bay.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Logs six innings in ninth win
Pallante (9-4) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks over six innings against Arizona. He struck out two.
Pallante's winning ways continued Monday, as he kept the Arizona offense quiet to earn his fourth straight victory. His two strikeouts matched a season low, though the right-hander has never relied on swing-and-miss stuff and instead thrives by generating groundballs. The 27-year-old owns a 3.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64:25 K:BB across 82.2 innings (15 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to face Miami on Saturday.

Gavin Williams SP | CLE
Guardians' Gavin Williams: Strikes out eight in no-decision
Williams did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the White Sox. He struck out eight.
Williams allowed a run in the second inning and another in the third frame, but he did a nice job of limiting the damage and avoiding crooked numbers. After logging at least six innings in eight starts entering June, the right-hander has failed to complete six innings in any of his four starts this month, topping out at 5.1 frames. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a 9-4 record with a 3.82 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 111:31 K:BB across 96.2 innings (16 starts) and is lined up to face the Mariners on Sunday.

Anthony Kay SP | CHW
White Sox's Anthony Kay: Tosses six scoreless frames Monday
Kay did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch over six scoreless innings against the Guardians. He struck out eight.
Kay pitched well enough to earn the win Monday, recording a season-high eight strikeouts and not allowing an earned run for the third time this season, though bullpen troubles ultimately cost the southpaw a victory. The outing marked a positive step in the right direction for the 31-year-old, who entered with an 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 13 innings in his first three starts of June. He'll take a 6-2 record with a 4.24 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 63:30 K:BB across 76.1 innings (16 appearances) into his next outing, which is lined up for the weekend against the Royals.
