Misiorowski (arm) is likely to make a start during next week's series against the Mets, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Misiorowski had some right arm fatigue following his July 7 start in St. Louis, preventing from taking his final turn in the rotation the Sunday before the All-Star break. The Brewers elected to extend Misiorowski's rest by not scheduling him to start this weekend versus the Marlins, but he's in line to take the ball early next week. Between the bout with arm fatigue and a career-high innings pace, Misiorowski's workload will likely be monitored carefully by the Brewers in the second half.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Soroka (glute) will require a rehab start before returning to the Diamondbacks' rotation, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Soroka hasn't pitched since June 19 but did throw a bullpen session Tuesday. Lovullo said Soroka's timeline is somewhat up in the air, and it's unclear when the right-hander will make his rehab start. With Zac Gallen (elbow) landing on the injured list this week, the Diamondbacks will need to continue to fill multiple holes in the rotation for the near future. Jose Cabrera will be an option to be called back up to Arizona.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Gallen is awaiting a second opinion on his injured right elbow, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Gallen was scheduled to start last Sunday's game against the Dodgers but was scratched due to right elbow inflammation and subsequently placed on the 15-day injured list. "Gallen, we're continuing to evaluate," Lovullo said. "He is waiting for other opinions from other doctors. So we'll just keep putting that off until we get everything complete." Mitch Bratt was recently recalled from Triple-A Reno to take Gallen's place in the rotation.

Scott (3-1) earned the win Thursday against the Phillies, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Scott was impressive Thursday, blanking a formidable Philadelphia lineup over 5.2 frames. However, the 27-year-old right-hander still has yet to complete six frames in any outing during 2026, as the Mets opted to bring in southpaw Brooks Raley to put out the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh to end the sixth inning Thursday. Despite a lack of consistent length, Scott is set to take a strong 2.87 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 72:26 K:BB across 59.2 innings into his next scheduled start against Milwaukee.

Nola (3-7) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Nola delivered a quality start but struggled mightily to keep the ball in the yard, serving up three home runs Thursday. The 33-year-old right-hander has had a hard time finding his footing in 2026, having logged only a pair of quality starts since the beginning of June (eight outings) while giving up multiple runs in all but two of his 20 appearances overall. Things are unlikely to get any easier for Nola, who has a 5.68 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 108:35 K:BB over 103 innings, in his next scheduled start against the Dodgers.

Ryan is not listed among the Twins' probable pitchers for this weekend's series against the Cubs, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ryan made his last start of the first half Saturday and then threw a scoreless frame during the All-Star Game. The Twins will give him a little extra rest before his first outing of the second half, which will likely come Monday in Cleveland. Ryan logged a 2.85 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 128:25 K:BB over 110.1 innings covering 20 first-half starts.

Glasnow (back) threw a bullpen session this past weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow's recovery from lower-back spasms has dragged on much more than anticipated, but a return to throwing off the bump is a big step. He has not pitched in a game since early May, so Glasnow will require multiple rehab starts whenever he is cleared for a rehab assignment. The Dodgers' primary objective is to have Glasnow healthy for the postseason, so expect them to continue slow-playing the right-hander.

DeGrom (glute) appears tentatively lined up to start Sunday's game in Atlanta, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

DeGrom had to be scratched from his final scheduled start of the first half due to a mild left glute strain. He planned to play catch over the All-Star break before likely throwing a bullpen session this weekend. As long as he gets through that mound session without any hiccups, deGrom is likely to take the ball Sunday in the series finale. If deGrom needs a little more time, the Rangers could push him back to start during next week's home series versus the White Sox.

Lopez will start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

A path was cleared for Lopez to re-enter the Athletics' rotation when Aaron Civale was designated for assignment Wednesday. Lopez has made two relief appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas last week, allowing four runs with a 5:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings. All told, the southpaw has logged an ugly 6.83 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 43:34 K:BB over 55.1 innings in the majors this season.

The Reds have agreed to terms with Burns on a seven-year, $105 million contract extension, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

The deal will begin in 2027 and run through 2033 and is a major-league record for a pitcher with less than four years of service time. Burns made his first All-Star team in 2026, carrying a 2.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB over 102.2 frames across 18 starts into the break. The right-hander boasts a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 31 career appearances (26 starts) at the big-league level.
