Ginn (elbow) was set to start a throwing program Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Ginn was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow inflammation. The extent of his injury wasn't clear, but it looks like it could be minor if he's beginning a throwing program so quickly after landing on the IL.

Myers allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three batters over two innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Wednesday.

In his second start of the season, Myers struggled with his control, issuing three free passes and throwing just 28 of 49 pitches for strikes. That earned him a quick hook, and Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy suggested after the contest that the early exit was related to the control struggles, stating, "It was more of a message to Tobias than anything else. I knew we had a full bullpen, but still. This is how we're going to do it, man," per Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com. Myers has shown substantial rust in his two outings after spending the first part of the season on the injured list -- he's posted a 5:7 K:BB across six innings but has avoided taking a loss so far.

Wright (shoulder/hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment May 2 at Double-A Northwest Arkansas, MLB.com reports.

Wright was behind in spring training as he continues to work his way back from October 2023 right shoulder surgery, and he suffered an additional setback in the form of a hamstring strain in late February. Expect Wright to have a lengthy rehab stint as he works his way back to form.

Burnes (1-1) earned the win over the Mets on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and five walks while striking out three batters over six innings.

After going winless in his first five starts as a member of the Diamondbacks, Burnes finally got into the win column Wednesday despite being far from sharp. The right-hander threw just 49 of 94 pitches for strikes and issued a season-high five walks, but none of the free passes ended up hurting him -- the only run Burnes allowed came on a Mark Vientos solo homer. Burnes has been troublingly wild this season, as his 4.68 BB/9 is fifth-worst among qualified pitchers and would stand as the worst mark of his career, but he's managed a 3.58 ERA despite also recording a below-average 7.71 K/9. His next start lines up to be a rematch against the Mets next week.

Povich didn't factor into Wednesday's decision against the Yankees, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings.

Povich put the Orioles behind early, when he yielded a two-run homer to Aaron Judge in the first inning. Povich steadied himself over the next three innings but was taken deep by Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth frame and was lifted from two batters later. Povich has given up six home runs over his last four starts, and the 37 hits he's allowed is tied for fourth most in the American League. He's slated to face the Twins on the road next weekend.

Rogers (knee) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two in 1.2 innings during Tuesday's minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It was the second rehab start for Rogers, who continues to build up his workload after missing spring training due to a right knee subluxation. The left-hander averaged just 91.8 mph on his fastball and threw only 55 pitches Tuesday. Rogers has a chance to join Baltimore's beleaguered starting rotation at some point in May, but he still figures to need at least two more appearances in the minors before becoming an option in the major leagues.

Boyd did not factor into the decision against the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

Boyd gave up one run in the first and fourth innings, but he faced the minimum number of batters in the two frames in between and was in line for the win until the Cubs yielded three runs in the fifth. He generated 12 whiffs and 16 first-pitch strikes while tossing 83 pitches (52 strikes), and he has recorded at least five strikeouts in four of six starts this season. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Giants next week.

Mlodzinski did not factor into Wednesday's decision against the Cubs, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over four-plus innings.

Mlodzinski kept the Cubs off the board over the first four innings, but the two baserunners he allowed at the start of the fifth came around to score on an Ian Happ two-run single. Mlodzinski has failed to make it through five innings in three of his last four starts and is up to a 6.58 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB over 26 innings this season. He's slated to face the Cardinals on the road next week, when he'll look to earn his second win of 2025.

Dollander's hand issue on Wednesday against Atlanta was a broken fingernail on the middle finger of his pitching hand, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post clarified on The High Stakes Fantasy show with Tom Kessenich and Jeff Erickson on SiriusXM Fantasy Radio on Wednesday night.

Dollander was pitching a gem against Atlanta but the broken finger nail left his hand "... a bloody mess ...." He allowed one run over 5.2 frames prior to exiting and picked up his second win of the season. Dollander remains tentatively lined up to face the Tigers next week.

Carrasco (2-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out five over 3.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

All four of the runs Carrasco yielded came in the second inning, three of which came on home runs by Ryan Mountcastle and Ramon Urias. Carrasco has given up four earned runs in three of his last five outings and is up to a 5.90 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over 29 innings. He's lined up to face the Padres at home next week.
