Miller left Friday's start against the Rays with a blister on his right middle finger.

Miller went 3.1 innings and allowed two runs before being removed due to the blister. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day, but he has a chance to make his next scheduled start before the All-Star break.

Miller (4-1) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Royals on Friday.

Miller came up one out short of a quality start, but this was still a vast improvement over his last two outings, in which he gave up a combined 13 runs over 9.2 innings. The rookie right-hander now has a 4.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB over 38.1 innings through his first seven big-league starts. He's still walking a few too many batters to be dominant, but his rotation spot is likely safe at least until Noah Syndergaard (finger) returns. Miller is projected for a home start versus the Pirates next week.

Lorenzen (2-6) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

Lorenzen had three good starts and three bad ones in June, with his last outing of the month falling in the latter category. He's now lost four of his last eight starts, and he took no-decisions in the other four in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a 4.28 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB through 82 innings across 14 starts. Lorenzen is projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Miller left Friday's start against Tampa Bay with an apparent finger injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He allowed two runs on one hit and one walk in 3.1 innings with six strikeouts before leaving.

Miller was visited by trainers early in the fourth inning to check on an issue with a finger on his right (pitching) hand, and after he allowed a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena, he was removed from the game. Matt Brash has taken over on the mound.

Gomber (6-7) earned the win Friday over the Tigers, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings.

Gomber picked up his second straight win, and this was his second quality start in six June outings. He threw 60 of 84 pitches for strikes in a fairly efficient home start. It's perhaps a sign the southpaw is getting back on track, as he's only has one bad start in his last four. For the season, Gomber's still at a rough 6.64 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 60:30 K:BB through 84 innings over 17 starts. He's lined up for a road start in San Francisco next week.

Liberatore's scheduled start against the Yankees has been postponed due to inclement weather, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The young lefty was scheduled to square off against Luis Severino, but the game will instead be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday. It's likely Liberatore will start one of the two games of that twin bill.

Severino's scheduled start against the Cardinals on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Because of the rain in St. Louis, the Yankees and Cardinals will play a doubleheader Saturday, with the first game starting at 11:15 CST. Severino and Matthew Liberatore -- the two scheduled starters for Friday's contest -- will likely pitch in one of the two games of the twin bill instead.

San Francisco activated Cobb (oblique) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Friday against the Mets, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Cobb was excellent in his lone minor-league rehab outing last Saturday with Single-A San Jose, racking up nine strikeouts across 3.2 innings of one-run ball. Following a 15-day absence to heal a mild oblique strain, he returns Friday to a sharp 3.09 ERA and 76:21 K:BB through 78.2 major-league innings.

Cueto (biceps/ankle) is scheduled to make another rehab start Monday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cueto seems to be recovered from the biceps injury that sent him to the IL in early April and the ankle sprain he suffered in his early-May rehab debut, but the Marlins want to see better results before activating him. The veteran right-hander has been lit up for seven homers and 17 earned runs in 13 innings across his last three rehab outings.

Cabrera (shoulder) threw a 22-pitch bullpen session Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cabrera only used his fastball during the workout, but he told reporters afterward that he felt "super great." On the shelf since June 17 because of a right shoulder impingement, the 25-year-old is trending toward a return to the Marlins' rotation shortly after the All-Star break.
