Detmers will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Detmers appeared to be a prime candidate to get traded ahead of Monday's deadline, and though one report indicated that a deal was in place for him to join the Cubs, he ultimately stayed in Anaheim. The 27-year-old lefty will return to the bump for the Angels on seven days' rest and should continue to headline the rotation for the rest of the season. Since surrendering a season-high eight runs in a loss to the Athletics on May 19, Detmers has gone 2-2 with a 3.21 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 84:19 K:BB over 70 frames in his subsequent 12 starts.

President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Tuesday that Anderson will serve as a starter for the Mariners once he's eventually called up from Double-A Arkansas later this season, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. "We're not going to put Kade in the bullpen," Dipoto said. "He's the best starting pitcher in the minor leagues."

Anderson has done his part to back up Dipoto's bold claim, as he's overwhelmed Texas League hitters to the tune of a 1.20 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 119:12 K:BB in 82.1 innings through his first 16 starts in the pro ranks. Though Anderson moved up to sixth on the organizational starting pitching depth chart after Luis Castillo was traded to the White Sox over the weekend, the Mariners aren't yet ready to expand their five-man rotation to accommodate the 22-year-old lefty. Anderson is scheduled to meet with the Mariners' brass Wednesday to map out a plan for his call-up to Seattle in the coming weeks, but in the short term, he looks set to continue building innings at Double-A. The Mariners' commitment to eventually onboard Anderson as a starter down the stretch would at least enhance his fantasy utility, as his usage and opportunities to earn wins would be more predictable as a starter than if he were deployed as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

Toronto transferred Corbin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Matt Waldron, who was claimed off waivers from the Padres. Corbin was already expected to be shut down from throwing for multiple weeks after being deactivated due to a left teres major strain, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he'll remain on the shelf through Sept. 19. The Blue Jays will have just seven games left on the schedule once Corbin is eligible for reinstatement, so his season is effectively over. The veteran southpaw turned in a 5.51 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 80 innings over 19 appearances (15 starts).

Glasnow (back) is expected to cover around three innings and 45 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start Sunday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow reported to Single-A Ontario on Tuesday for the first start of his rehab assignment and his first appearance at any level since May 6, after a bout with lower-back spasms resulted in a prolonged absence. The right-hander breezed through his outing Tuesday, retiring six of the seven batters he faced on 16 pitches. The Dodgers haven't revealed whether he'll stick around at Ontario for his next outing or move up to a higher-level affiliate, but either way, he'll be looking to tack on about 30 more pitches to his workload. Glasnow is likely to require one or two rehab starts beyond Sunday before returning from the 60-day injured list and reclaiming a spot in the Dodgers' six-man rotation.

Toronto placed Vesavage on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to left knee inflammation.

After exiting in the third inning of his start in Tuesday's loss to the Astros due to left knee discomfort, Yesavage was sent in for an MRI on Wednesday. Though imaging doesn't appear to have revealed anything more than inflammation, the young right-hander will need to be shut down for at least the next two weeks. The Blue Jays had planned to move to a six-man rotation this week, but rather than replacing Yesavage, the team could simply get by a five-man rotation until Yesavage is ready to return from the IL.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Snell (elbow) should be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to make his next start in the majors, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

On the shelf since May 15 after he required a NanoScope procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, Snell is poised to rejoin the Dodgers after he completed his fourth rehab start Tuesday at Triple-A Oklahoma City. After rolling to a 1.13 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB in eight innings over his first three starts, Snell wasn't nearly as sharp Tuesday, as he surrendered three runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and four walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings. On a positive note, Snell's elbow checked out fine coming out of the appearance, and he was able to push his pitch count up to 73 (41 strikes) despite not meeting his goal of covering five innings. He'll likely line up for a start Monday or Tuesday in Kansas City in what will be just his second appearance of the season for the Dodgers.

Forbes (elbow) tossed a scoreless inning while allowing one walk and striking out two batters July 31 for High-A Hillsboro.

Forbes hadn't pitched since June 27 due to elbow discomfort. He has excelled when healthy, logging a 19:3 K:BB and 0.80 WHIP in 13.2 innings across five appearances for the Hops. Risk of re-injury and an inability to sufficiently build up his innings this year are the only knocks on the 22-year-old righty.

The Rangers placed Gore on the paternity list Wednesday.

Per MLB rules, Gore will be away from the Rangers for a minimum of one day and a maximum of three days while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The southpaw tossed six scoreless innings in a start during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Giants and wasn't in line to pitch again until Sunday at the earliest, so the Rangers won't have to adjust their rotation to account for Gore's absence.

Peterson is slated to start Thursday's game against Toronto at Wrigley Field, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Though trade-deadline pickups Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes (fibula) are slated to make their first starts for the Cubs this weekend, Peterson will keep his spot in the rotation for now. The left-hander tied his season high with eight strikeouts in his most recent start last Saturday against the Yankees and owns a 4.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 33 innings over his first six starts with the Cubs since being acquired from the Mets on June 25.

Luzardo (10-5) picked up the win Tuesday, scattering four hits and two walks over eight scoreless innings in a 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven.

Washington didn't even get a runner past second base against Luzardo until his final inning of work, when Nasim Nunez led off the eighth with a single and advanced on a pair of outs that never left the infield, but the southpaw got Andres Chaparro to ground out. It's the fifth time in 23 starts this season that Luzardo has held the opposition off the scoreboard, and the quality start was his 12th of the year. Even more impressively, the southpaw has given up one earned run or fewer in seven of his last eight trips to the mound, delivering a 1.94 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB over 51 innings during that span. Luzardo will look to stay dialed in for his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Blue Jays.
