The Mets have officially announced Peterson (hip) as the starter for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Peterson underwent surgery for a torn labrum in his left hip this offseason and opened the season on the 60-day injured list, but he'll make his long awaited return on the mound against Los Angeles. The southpaw recorded a 5.03 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with a 128:50 K:BB across 27 appearances (21 starts) last season with the Mets.

Gasser won't start Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The left-hander lined up to start on regular rest Sunday after he allowed four earned runs over six innings Tuesday at Miami, but Tobias Myers will instead receive the nod in Boston. Gasser is now expected to take the mound during the upcoming four-game series versus the Cubs, which begins Monday.

Myers will start Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Myers was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday and immediately delivered a scoreless frame that day against Miami. The right-hander started in his previous four MLB appearances this season, and he's now stepping into the rotation spot of Joe Ross (back). Myers has a 5.00 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 18 innings for the Brewers this season, and he could receive a couple more turns through the rotation with a solid performance Sunday.

The Rangers selected Garabito's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. He'll start Sunday's series finale versus the Twins in Minnesota.

Texas designated right-hander Shaun Anderson for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for the 28-year-old Garabito, who will be making his MLB debut Sunday. The Rangers are expected to treat Sunday's contest as a bullpen day, but Garabito should be capable of providing the team with plenty of length to begin the game after he had been operating as a starter for Round Rock. Over seven appearances (five starts) for the Triple-A club this season, Garabito compiled a 2.05 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB in 30.2 innings. Garabito may not be in line for a lengthy stay with the Rangers, as the team could soon get back Nathan Eovaldi (groin) and/or Jon Gray (groin) back from the injured list, and off days Monday and Thursday could allow Texas to get by with a shortened rotation in the meantime.

Montgomery (3-2) earned the win over the Marlins on Saturday, allowing two runs on nine hits and one walk over six innings while striking out four.

Montgomery didn't get off to a great start, surrendering a leadoff double to open the contest, followed by an RBI single off the bat of Josh Bell two batters later as the Marlins took an early 1-0 lead. However, the lefty would eventually find his groove, hurling 1-2-3 innings in the second and third before later coughing up one more run on a Jazz Chisholm double in the sixth. Montgomery has now gone at least six innings in five of his seven starts this season, though he's also allowed at least seven hits in four of those outings, including a season-high nine hits in Saturday's win.

Blanco (suspension) was reinstated to the Astros' 26-man active roster Sunday and will start Houston's series finale versus the Athletics in Oakland.

As had been reported days earlier, Blanco will immediately slot back into the Houston rotation now that he's completed his 10-game ban after he was deemed to have used a foreign substance during his most recent start May 14, also versus Oakland. Assuming Blanco was able to stay fully ramped up while he was serving his suspension, he shouldn't face many restrictions when he takes the hill Sunday. Blanco has been a revelation for the Astros this season, compiling a 4-0 record, 2.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB in 47.1 innings across eight starts.

Oviedo (elbow) began a throwing program last week at the team's facility in Florida, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Oviedo has begun throwing from 45 feet and will progress to 60 feet soon. He has already been ruled out for the entire 2024 season but is expected to be healthy for spring training heading into the 2025 campaign.

Cease (5-4) was tagged with the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits over 6.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out nine.

Cease got himself into trouble right out of the gate after surrendering a leadoff single to Anthony Volpe to open the contest, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Aaron Judge two batters later. The right-hander would then go on to strike out five of the next seven batters he faced before giving up another two runs in the fourth. Cease has now allowed three or more runs in three consecutive starts, going 0-2 over that stretch. On a positive note, he's recorded at least eight strikeouts in four of his last five outings and has posted a dynamite 42:6 K:BB in May. His 82 strikeouts on the campaign leave him sitting behind only Tyler Glasnow (87) for the league lead.

Stroman (4-2) picked up the win over the Padres on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six shutout innings while striking out five.

Stroman actually allowed the leadoff man to reach in three of his first four innings of work but was able to pitch his way around it on each occasion to prevent any damage. The right-hander has now hurled three quality starts in a row and hasn't allowed more than three hits in four of his last five outings. Stroman carries a 1.78 ERA in May after Saturday's win and has won three of his last four decisions (spanning seven starts).

Soriano (2-5) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

Soriano cruised through the first two frames before failing to retire three of the first five batters he faced in the third, eventually leading to four runs coming across for Cleveland. He would, however, surrender just one infield single over his final three innings of work while striking out five over that span. Soriano's eight strikeouts on the night marked a season high and he's now gone at least six innings in three of his last five starts. It also marked the first time in his last four starts that he didn't walk multiple batters.
