The Guardians are expected to call up Messick from Triple-A Columbus to start or pitch in bulk relief Wednesday in Arizona, SI.com reports.

One of Cleveland's top pitching prospects, Messick will be making his MLB debut Wednesday as he steps into the rotation spot that previously belonged to Joey Cantillo, who was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend. Messick had been a standout performer at Columbus this season, generating a 3.47 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:42 K:BB in 98.2 innings over 20 starts. The 24-year-old southpaw could earn multiple turns through the Cleveland rotation if he fares well in his MLB debut, though he'll be at risk of losing his spot once rehabbing lefty John Means (elbow) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.

Miley (forearm) visited Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Monday and is still trying to determine his next move, MLB.com reports.

Miley was pulled from a rehab assignment after experiencing soreness during a start last Friday. That the left-hander is pondering his next move suggests the doctor offered multiple go-forward scenarios and that the soreness may not be normal. Reds manager Terry Francona said the team will "support whatever he does." This implies that Miley will not be a fantasy factor over the final weeks of the regular season.

May (7-9) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings against Baltimore. He struck out five.

May worked around traffic to post six solid innings Monday, but Boston's offense didn't heat up until too late in the loss. Since joining the Red Sox, the right-hander has gone 1-2 with a 2.87 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 15.2 innings in three starts.

Rogers (6-2) earned the win Monday, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over seven innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

Rogers shined Monday, keeping Boston scoreless until Jarren Duran's sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. The southpaw has been outstanding this year, posting a 1.41 ERA and 0.80 WHIP across 76.1 innings in 12 starts, with five of those outings lasting seven or more frames. While Rogers doesn't dominate hitters with overpowering velocity or filthy breaking stuff, his strong command and knack for inducing ground balls have fueled his success.

Perez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and four walks over 4.1 innings against St. Louis. He struck out six.

Perez worked through four scoreless innings before stumbling in the fifth inning, where shaky defense and spotty command kept him from finishing the frame. Overall, the hard-throwing righty has been solid in his return from Tommy John surgery, logging 64.2 innings across 13 starts with a 3.48 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 2025.

Liberatore did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings against the Marlins. He struck out five.

Liberatore worked into the sixth inning Monday but was knocked out before recording an out in the frame, leaving him with a no-decision. While he fell short of a full six innings, it was the first time the southpaw had completed five frames since July 5. The 25-year-old has struggled to maintain form as the season has worn on, pitching to a 5.31 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 5.8 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 across his last 12 starts (57.2 innings).

Singer (11-9) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Monday.

Singer has logged three quality starts over four outings in August, allowing a total of five runs across 21.2 innings this month. A Taylor Ward RBI double in the first inning accounted for the lone run on Singer's line in this start. For the season, Singer is at a 4.18 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 123:49 K:BB through 131.1 innings across 25 starts. His next outing is projected to be a road start versus the Dodgers next week, assuming Nick Lodolo (finger) is able to return this week and the Reds move to a six-man rotation to accommodate that. Singer would be on regular rest if he gets moved up to pitch in this weekend's series in Arizona.

Cortes (1-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Monday.

Cortes gave up all four runs on three home runs in the first inning. He had allowed just one homer over his first two starts as a Padre, but his home debut for the team started poorly, and the damage was too much for his teammates to overcome. On the year, Cortes is now at a 5.87 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 22:15 K:BB through 23 innings across five starts between San Diego and Milwaukee. He is projected for a tough home start versus the Dodgers this weekend.

Ray (10-6) allowed three unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Monday.

Ray was nearly untouchable until the Padres found some success in the seventh inning. However, the Giants' four-run first inning was enough to help the southpaw secure his first win since July 3 versus the Diamondbacks. Ray has recorded quality starts in four of his last eight outings, adding a 41:18 K:BB over 47.1 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 2.85 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 158:57 K:BB through 154.2 innings across 26 starts. Ray is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Brewers.

Gallen (9-13) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings to take the loss versus the Guardians on Monday.

Gallen has recorded a quality start in three of his four outings in August, though his effort Monday wasn't enough to get a win. He allowed a solo home run to C.J. Kayfus in the second inning and gave up a two-run blast to Brayan Rocchio in the fifth, making this the first time in five starts Gallen has given up multiple homers. The veteran right-hander is now at a 5.28 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 134:52 K:BB through 150 innings over 26 starts this season. Gallen is projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.
