White (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

White was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday with the Jumbo Shrimp, and although it initially seemed like an indication that he was on his way to the big leagues, he'll instead spend at least a week on the IL due to an unspecified injury. The 21-year-old top prospect has a 4.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through five starts at Jacksonville this season, and although he isn't ready for his MLB debut just yet, there's still a chance he gets called up later in the year.

Freeland tossed 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss against the Rangers, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while taking a no-decision. He struck out five.

Freeland could not make it through five innings Wednesday and has not made it past the fifth frame in any of his past five starts. All of the damage from Texas came during the fourth inning, when Ezequiel Duran and Jake Burger launched back-to-back long balls. Since coming off the injured list in late April, Freeland has lost four of his five appearances with a 10.32 ERA over 22.2 innings. The lefty is scheduled to make his next start against the Dodgers next week.

Lowder (shoulder) threw a side session Tuesday and will throw again in the bullpen Friday, MLB.com reports.

If all goes well Friday, Lowder could begin facing hitters a few days after. The right-hander landed on the injured list after leaving his May 7 start with shoulder discomfort, which necessitated an injection in the AC joint.

Bibee did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing one run on four hits and a walk across eight innings. He struck out five.

Bibee was excellent Wednesday, holding the Tigers scoreless through six innings before allowing a lone run in the seventh. However, Bibee would remain winless on the season, as the Guardians' offense failed to break through until the ninth. Bibee has turned in quality starts in five of his last seven outings, though he's gone 0-4 in that span despite posting a 2.59 ERA. Bibee will carry a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB into his next outing, currently scheduled to come at home against the Nationals.

Mahle (1-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks after giving up six runs on eight hits while walking none and striking out six across five innings.

Mahle was in decent shape Wednesday until the fifth inning, when Arizona scored thrice on four hits to take the lead for good. It marks Mahle's third straight outing allowing four or more runs to elevate his ERA to 6.10 through 10 starts this season. His six losses are tied with six others for the most in MLB. The 31-year-old is projected for a home rematch against the Diamondbacks next week.

Kelly (4-3) allowed three runs on eight hits with four strikeouts and no walks to earn the win Wednesday over the Giants.

Kelly collected his third straight quality start and victory to help the Diamondbacks complete the series sweep. The right-hander allowed a home run to Casey Schmitt in the first inning and didn't retire the side in order until the sixth, but he was otherwise able to limit San Francisco to single tallies in the second and fourth frames. After a horrid start to the year resulted in a 9.95 ERA through his first four outings, the 37-year-old has allowed just five runs with a 13:3 K:BB in 22 innings over his last three starts. Kelly's next appearance lines up to be a road rematch with the Giants next week.

Cabrera was removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers with a blister on his right middle finger, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

After allowing four runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters through three frames, Cabrera was taken out of Wednesday's contest following his first pitch of the fourth inning. It's unknown whether the 28-year-old righty will be ready to take the mound in time for his next turn through the rotation, but the Cubs will monitor the situation closely over the next several days.

Hancock did not factor into the decision in Seattle's 5-4 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. He allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.

It's just the third time in 10 starts this year that Hancock was unable to make it through six innings. While he failed to come away with the win Wednesday, Hancock delivered another solid outing overall despite matching a season high with three walks. His ERA sits at 3.07 through 58.2 innings this year with a 1.06 WHIP and 60:13 K:BB. Hancock is tentatively lined up to face the A's on the road his next time out.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Bieber (elbow) could begin pitching in rehab games by the end of next week "if all goes well," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander has been brought along slowly this season after he dealt with some inflammation in his surgically repaired elbow this spring. He's been throwing against live hitters for nearly two weeks, and with Bieber having avoided any setbacks, he appears poised to advance to the final phase of his rehab. He's expected to require four or five minor-league starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list, so he's unlikely to be a realistic option for the Toronto rotation until late June.

Verlander (hip) completed a four-inning, 62-pitch simulated game Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

In lieu of a rehab assignment, Verlander has remained with the Tigers and has been getting gradually stretched back out through simulated games. The 43-year-old righty has needed more time than expected to recover from left hip inflammation, but he may need to complete just one more sim game before Detroit brings him back from the 60-day injured list around when he's first eligible at the beginning of June. According to Beck, Verlander's fastball velocity sat around 92-to-93 mph during Wednesday's throwing session, putting him a tick or two behind his average velocity during his time with the Giants in 2025.
